Leave up to me whether I want to pursue it right this minute or not, but at least tell me what and where my next move is. I've always felt the game needed to give more direction. Given all the running back and forth, searching aimlessly at depths while your air or battery is running out, and huge amount of territory you have to cover.

This series gives you next to nothing, which has always frustrated me. Most open world games give you an objective, map and marker, and then let you choose to go there or spend the next 40 hours ignoring it. I love Subnautica, but I've always found it to be tedious. When I turn the fan off? Hehehe, you could put thermal plants around my house and count my FPS with one hand I'm playing in the summer heat and my game ran smoothly on medium graphics (2015 laptop with gtx970m, nothing crazy), BECAUSE i'm using a cooling system. Any game with similar or better graphics WILL make your laptop overheat, IF you aren't using a proper cooling system (i.e ventilation mat, vacuum cooler). 'Other games don't DO that, just Subnautica.' As a laptop gamer, I disagree. My 7 and 11 year old brothers both finished the game, and apart the quite harsh, albeit very funny first encounter with a reaper, didnt have any problem figuring out where to go and what to do. For the others, many spoiler-free tutorials exist on youtube to remedy that. I feel like many subnautica players would agree that the first 12 hours of the game were their favorite. 'Just some vague escape pods in SN' As an exploration game, I fail to understand why breaking immersion to baby-walk players around the game is necessary. I might be a genocidal maniac who can work with a knife, but sharks are effective walls a lot of the time. Then you try and swim around, and oh hey, massive sharks. Nothing pointed me anywhere, or gave me the slightest idea what to do or where to go. I only knew ALAN was down there cause I already knew it from previous play. If that BZ living pod had a little mapping system, that gave the player an idea what was around down to like 100-200m, so you could run around getting blueprints for the stuff, and put HUD waypoints over kelp and such, and popped a few default missions to get the player going, IMO, that would help a lot. Dangit, running up the room temperature or melting laptop cards is Not Cool. I've never really liked RNG in breaking mineral clusters, either.Īlso, optimize the engine and let us turn stuff down. Self-generated missions, to acquire blueprints, or point the player to regions with higher concentrations of desired resources. My desktop card doesn't care, but this is IMPORTANT.

Other games don't DO that, just Subnautica. Then Subnautica started to try and melt the (actually decent) mobile video card in his laptop.

dumps you in and says 'have at!' And the update is even worse now, with flying in all ninja-like. Just some vague escape pods in SN, and BZ just. With both SN games, they explain little, there's no hub or mission system. This man dumped a LOT of time into Chernobyl, exploring and derping around is not the problem. Many players want SOMETHING to suggest what to do. First off, he had no idea what to do- my first point.

Both SN and SB:BZ suffer from this- the only way to really learn how to play the game, is to have played the game for a few dozen hours.Īnd how do you do that? Wander around randomly? BZ is even worse, because SN had the Aurora as a MASSIVE landmark, and its mere presence presented a few fairly obvious things to do- explore and repair it.
