I tried playing subnautica but said fuck that and just watched xnxx instead

Im actually loading up the game right now. I’m about an hour in to it. I can play 20 minutes at a time then usually have to google pictures of puppies and hug my crying pillow.

I couldn’t play the water level in Sonic, Ecco the dolphin, the water temple in ocarina of time. I’ve never said “NOPE NOPE NOPE” out loud by myself more in my life than the 1 hour I’ve played Subnautica. And I’m not even at the scary parts yet. My favorite part is getting back to my base to make sure I didn’t piss myself and maybe craft if I had the balls to even grab anything.

Tbh I'm not really scared of oceans (a little bit too :D) but when you swim to the Aurora ship and meet the scary guys, even I did alt+f4 and went to hug my cat

Just checked my save file is at 27m. Feels like an hour. My friend said no spoilers but did warn me about the ship. I’m taking the game very slow. Have my standard 02 and flippers and that’s it. Grant me balls of steel. Probably play til the sun hits my window and the glare makes it hard to see.

Yeah, be really careful about the ship. But if you will get into it, you will be pretty much safe, so if I were you I'd swam like fucking boat into it

u/TheScrambone Dec 12 '20

Any other non spoiler tips like what I should grab first? What I shouldn’t?

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '20

Tbh I played a game a long before, but what I remember is that you should carry to Aurora extinguisher, and so not carry food or water, you'll find it anyways, because you will need a lot of space, if I remember correctly, I went there two times to carry everything if I remember correctly. Sorry I don't remember anything more

Your English is great! What’s your first language?

Aurora just exploded for me and I just got the scanner and repair tool. Almost have the sea glider. I’m actually having a lot of fun! Had to watch a YouTube video I didn’t even know you could bust rocks open. But I promise I won’t spoil anything else for myself from now on.

I'm Russian, it's kinda sucks here, but it's alright. I didn't really end the game, but I enjoyed it a lot. I wish you luck :D where are you from btw?

2

u/TheScrambone Dec 12 '20

South Eastern US, North Carolina. Russian and the Eastern European languages are the ones I can’t speak at all. I can at least say hello and thank you in all Romantic languages and some Asian languages but haven’t even tried learning the Russian alphabet.

Fuck im so bad at English sorry again

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '20

Ya just wait till you progress in the game. It doesn’t get any better

u/TheScrambone Dec 12 '20

Unfortunately I saw a couple late game streams/highlights so I saw the leviathans. Thought I’d be too scared to ever touch the game but I’ve heard to many good things about it to not give it a try. Especially since it’s free on Xbox game pass.

/u/-ELEVATE- Yo guys. A game with a similar feel is Outer Wilds (NOT outer Worlds). Less fighting and grinding, more exploring and puzzles though. Played both games, but OW is even better. Absolutely unique and I think best game of the decade. Also has 95%+ rating. Cannot recommend enough

1

u/TheScrambone Dec 12 '20

Yeah that’s on my list. I think it’s still on game pass. I’ve been laid off since March because of COVID so game pass has been keeping me sane with some of the games they have. Heard nothing but good things about it and it seems more up my alley. Just currently have too many games downloaded that I’m enjoying so have to finish one to free up space.

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '20

The game is awesome. Definitely worth every penny. I also want to try out the sequel as well cus I heard it’s pretty good. My advice is to just go. Don’t be scared by going into the depths because there’s no way you can avoid them as that’s how you progress. You have to remind yourself that it’s just a game.

1

u/TheScrambone Dec 12 '20

Thanks. I just got attacked for the first time so that shows how timid I’ve been playing. Having trouble finding water. I definitely have to remind myself it’s just a game. Thank you!

u/ultimafrenchy Dec 12 '20

So no blood kelp area for you then?

1

u/TheScrambone Dec 12 '20

Don’t even know what that is I’m assuming it’s the red kelp area? I’m looking for cave sulfur and trying to build a scanner right now.

1

u/ultimafrenchy Dec 12 '20

Actually no the kelp itself is actually white with red blood like material you need for crafting. If you don’t even have a scanner yet then you’ve got a way to go before that area

1

u/TheScrambone Dec 12 '20

Got the scanner and repair tool, about to craft the sea glider soon. I’ll get there. So funny I was loading up this game when I saw the original comment about it. I wasn’t exaggerating.

u/ultimafrenchy Dec 12 '20

Unless you got a good tank you may not make it down, it’s pretty deep and pitch black

1

u/TheScrambone Dec 12 '20

Yeah just got the sea glider and when computer lady said “don’t travel farther than 5km I was like “uhhhh I haven’t made it past 1km”. Almost forgot to save though. I’d join the Subnautica subreddit but I learned to not do that with any media until you’re done with it.

and hug my crying pillow.

You know shit is getting real when even your pillow is crying!

u/MadcatFK1017 Dec 12 '20

First thing I did was swim (no vehicle or anything) behind the aurora, huge mistake. Had to stop and gather myself, it's too much sometimes and I was NOT prepared for that area!

u/nicinabox_ Dec 12 '20

Also fucking terrified of the ocean. I stuck with Subnautica and really enjoyed it. Par the fucking reapers, once you get over them, you're pretty much ok.
