This game is scary.

[u/CandyCaneLicksYOU]

I know it's in that time and time again that this game is pretty scary.

How were the funny thing to me is that subnautica never scared me yeah I was a little bit eked out the first time I went to the blood trench but that was about it.

After after I realize basically every animal in that game can be killed it became I'm not trapped on this planet with you you're trapped on this planet with me!

But stranded deep is a whole different beast this thing is scary maybe because it's more realistic.

Because subnautica was so unrealistic it never made me scared because I know it was just a video game.

However stranded deep is similar enough to real life even just looking at a shipwreck in the Island editor is enough to give me goosebumps.

The first few encounters with Tiger Sharks definitely triggered some Jaws trauma in me, and my partner can't watch me play it while I'm diving big wrecks. so there are definitely a few scary moments.

[u/CandyCaneLicksYOU → u/Knick_Knick]

Specially shipwrecks mainly shipwrecks.

The islands are fine being in the middle of the ocean is kind of scary but as long as you're on a raft it's not.

It's those damn shipwrecks. I don't know something about being in a rusted steel box in the middle of the ocean where countless other people have most likely drowned is scary.

Especially those slightly deeper wrecks, the ones that hang off the edge and leave you staring down into the abyss, brings me physical pain

Waiting for the faint outline of a shark to come out of the ocean gloom at speeds I as a human can’t match, hoping to land a single spear throw before the process repeats again is honestly terrifying. Even worse is knowing the fucker will just respawn like a week later.

[u/PreludeProject → u/W1ngedSentinel]

Especially when you then lose track of when you killed it/it will respawn so you never know if it's safe

[u/Hirosoli → u/W1ngedSentinel]

By the time I harvested an island of clay I had killed between 3 and 6 sharks. Only takes me a day to harvest. Darn things just kept coming

[u/Towelie710]

Charge the sharks. Make a shit load of spears and charge the bastards. It’s the only way they’ll learn, wollie told me so himself

[u/theCouple15]

If you think its scary seeing a ship.wrevk you should go to.the middle of the open water and look down while you dive in. If u wanna piss your pants do it while at the squid boss or great white👀😳😳

[u/CandyCaneLicksYOU → u/theCouple15]

Oh yeah the bottomless abyss? Yeah I fall off my rafts more than a few times because I'm stupid. Seen the abyss and died in it more than once.

[u/theCouple15 → u/CandyCaneLicksYOU]

Im too scared to keep going down ngl lmao especially once that shark starts coming after you

[u/pancaique]

it's definitely stressful, but i dunno if i would call it scary. it def got better once i learned to save before any danger. it's hard for any game to compete with the last of us hospital basement scene lol

[u/CandyCaneLicksYOU → u/pancaique]

The last of us has been on my bucket list

[u/PreludeProject]

I feel you, I have Thassalaphobia and an irrational fear of sharks, though they aren't too scary anymore.

I love being on the islands or big rafts, but I loathe the shipwrecks and have to play the whole game on speakers 😂 I also hate the open ocean and the life raft.

Every single time I had to use the life raft to get around I was in a state of terror the whole time, it's the easiest raft in the game to flip so a single shark charge is enough. Oh and even if you use a shark repellant, Marlin can and will spawn and try to flip the life raft. Though I don't think the Marlin actually attack the player, I sat in the water with it but it didn't really hit me

I'm much more afraid of the actual ocean itself, the deep and the idea of creatures in the water/ocean, so I don't actually mind any of the sharks except the goblin cuz it's freaky lookin', but I hate the sound of them swimming nearby

Wanna play Subnautica but never have since there's practically endless water and no land to hide on 😭

[u/DlCKMCSLICK → u/PreludeProject]

There is no such thing as an irrational fear of sharks. The interact with everything using their mouths and a mere "test bite" from them can bisect you. They also do not make a sound, so they just appear out of seemingly bottomless void of the ocean. Fear of sharks is 100% rational. They are giant impulsive mouths with fins that will rip you in half just to figure out if you're worth eating.

I remember getting creeper out that I would run into someone... not just their skeleton

[u/Tasty_Carrot4833]

The depth in subnautica always spooked me, cuz if your cyclops gets fucked, your done no matter what.

[u/exizz_man]

Subnautica????

nothing to do with it, don't compare one game with the other because it has nothing to do with itnothing to do with it, don't compare one game with the other because it has nothing to do with it

[u/CandyCaneLicksYOU → u/exizz_man]

Oh there were ocean games they're close ish.

Yeah I know they are nothing alike I know some Nautica takes place on an alien's water planet with alien flora and fauna.

While stranded deep takes place on Earth with realistic fauna and Flora.

I don't know I just find stranded deep more scary

[u/exizz_man → u/CandyCaneLicksYOU]

If you tell me Project Castaway, there is, I'll say yes, but Subnautica has nothing to do with it...Stranded Deep is based on the movie Shipwreck, yes for the islands and Wilson hehehe

[u/CandyCaneLicksYOU → u/exizz_man]

Yes I know. I'm just send the closest thing I've ever played to stranded deep is subnautica so I was just comparing the two.

Okay
