[@Kin_fe]

(Edit: the person I replied to with this said “From ghost creatures to decaying giant shrimp monsters. They really stepped it up with below zero lol” or something) not really, the vibe of the void in the first felt scary, while this just feels like darkness, while you in the first game felt the blood rush when you look and see a glowing face coming at you, while these look so much more tiny, as the ghost’s lore is basically they started out in the lost river, then to the bulb zone, then to the void, and with the ghosts, their lore states that “they never actually stop growing”. These just feel small, and more of a vast empty non-scary space, it’s just purple and black, nothing. While with the first game you’d see lots coming at you, and you couldn’t do anything, with these, they are so tiny they just make you feel that it is easier to just go away, with the ghosts, the glowing made it even more scarier, as you could tell that there was something down there, and it was not a empty space, as with this, it just feels way more empty, less “shrimp” more “dark”, the original has nice lore to the ghosts, which is terrifying, as they never actually stop growing, they get bigger. As with these, they seem so much more on the tiny side, they don’t seem like leviathans anymore.. just some armored fish that i tiny, with the ghosts, they were big to the point they could almost or maybe fully rap around your cyclops, as with these, they look only the size of a prawn suit, not even a leviathan. It just takes away the horror the original had, and if they made them glow and bigger, they’d be more Intimidating, more than just a baby. (KEEP IN MIND THIS IS MY OPINION, I JUST THINK IF THEY MADE THEM MUCH BIGGER AND EASIER TO GLOW IT WOULD LOOK COOLER AND MUCH SCARIER!) (PLEASE DO NOT GET MAD!) (only look at the ghosts parts, the other is for subnautica below zeros way to keep you in bounds!) (This has nothing to do with this comment and I have no idea why I posted it here, just ignore)

[@conspiracypanda1200]

@@TheAngryXenite I mean, it is infinite (on most platforms), but they don't have Far Lands anymore. Servers can have The Border shown in the video to prevent the host from blowing up due to too many chunks and Regular Gameplay still goes on until your PC goes nuclear. At some point, sadly, the game's code was changed in such a way that it eliminated the Far Lands. Originally it was replaced with an infinitely generating ocean once you reached a certain distance from spawn (which was really boring at the time because the ocean consisted only of gravel and water back then). Not sure what is done these days, but it'll never be as rad as the Far Lands imo

[@BlueShellshock]

@@TheAngryXenite Did a little google-fu, learned a few things from the Minecraft wiki: "By editing the source code for the game, it is possible to extend the terrain generation and world border past X/Z: ±30,000,256 (up to X/Z: ±2,147,483,647) and experience the game quite normally (no ghost chunks; mobs can spawn alright; commands accept higher values). The game performs normally even at distances of X/Z: ±2,000,000,000, as in modern versions most distance effects have been patched out of the game. It is advisable to take note of what distance effects do exist, as well as the hard limits present - notably the ±33,554,432 lighting stop and hard limit of ±2,147,483,647." So it looks like... 30m blocks out is the end, and a physical wall stops you. If you get by it without mods, blocks and items stop behaving normally. 33.5m blocks is where lighting ceases to function. 2.1b is the 'true' end, but requires tinkering with code to get there.

That shark attack in GTA V is one of the most realistic shark attacks I've seen in a videogame. Sharks hate the taste of people so, on the very rare occasion they do bite (which is more common if you're far from the shore where they might be hungry) they usually just bite once, realize we're nasty, and go on their way. Edit: Plus he's super far from the shore where all the fish, seals, and other food is so that shark's probably hungry enough to bite. If you encounter a shark in a reef, for example, it'll probably leave you alone (as long as you leave it alone and don't splash around like prey.) There's basically three reasons a shark would bite you: 1. It mistook you for something it would actually eat. (Don't panic when you see a shark. That's what seals do.) 2. You pissed it off. (Don't swim after the shark if it wants to be left alone.) 3. It doesn't know what you are but it's hungry enough to give a taste test. (Don't swim in open waters where there's little to no prey.)

[@jorgenflorgen8676]

It's not that we taste bad but if they didn't eat something as a kid/teen they won't eat it as an adult

[@cadunkus]

@@jorgenflorgen8676 Well because we aren't fatty like fish and seals and instead we're all boney, we don't taste good to sharks and they won't eat us at any stage of their life.

[@Mysteri0usChannel]

Funfact: Humans don't taste good to ANYTHING. If any predator ever eats human meat it's out of desperation. For one, we aren't very good prey (with the tools and weapons and pack tactics and everything we're actually quite terrifying), and on the other hand, we apparently taste like shit. If given the chance to literally eat anything but human meat basically all animals choose whatever other option is available.

[@senor_bubble7755]

Seriously tho

[@booled1]

“Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region, are you sure whatever you’re doing is worth it?” Is such a beautifully written line. It’s unlike other games, where the character might say “be aware” or “proceed with caution”. It’s actually kind of wholesome in a way. It’s almost seems like this computer/AI like legit cares about you and doesn’t want you to die. So it breaks away from it’s standard sophisticated computer language to ask you. But it also adds to how terrifying the dead zones are. Even the AI is like “bro, you sure about this?”. What a masterpiece.

[@avicennaren1053]

I like the ones where there are storyline related reasons of why you can’t go out there or games that give you a chance to fight back but you can’t win anyway

I currently play Subnautica for the first time, blind. I remember entering the "dead zone" for the first time very well, oh my god. I was like... Oh, this is going down very far, I guess that is a new biome. And I went down and down and down, not really paying attention to the screams of the Ghost Leviathans that were right beside me, as I've never seen one before. Suddenly they were coming at me from 3 different sides, and I was scared as sh*t. Yeah well, they killed me, and this is how I found out about the dead zone.

I found it in the beginning of the game even before I have the seamoth, I found it because I was stupid. There was a crashed capsule and the radio said it's some distance away from Aurora's crash site. I was dumb and thought it meant the crash site of my capsule

[@discountfunnyman]

I love it when a game makes going out of bounds a valuable part of the game worth experiencing rather than just a punishment that discourages the player

[@WolfSpiritDemon]

Subnautica’s ghost leviathan was the coolest and most creative way I’d seen a game realistically and believably implement a border. Love the ghost leviathan!

[@xan9224]

Just for the log, I got out of my seamoth one time to enter the deadzone. Most terrifying in game experience I've had. I could see a slight blue shimmer in the infinite dark, knowing i had absolutely no protection. I stasis rifled it so fast that I had to swim further out to scan. Once i got the scan I booked it into the play area again. I looked back and saw it slowly curling and disappearing into the distance. I shouldn't have done it alone in the dark, but in retrospect, it made the experience more memorable.

Subnautica’s works so well because of the cyclops. Once you unlock the blueprints and build it, you feel like you can go anywhere due to how much integrity it can hold. But then your PDA starts putting this fear factor in you, saying that something is in there with you and is bigger. Either that’s when you leave or that’s when you lose your cyclops.

Sometimes this can backfire. Especially in games that have long progression from small damage numbers to large damage numbers, and nothing changing. Kinda like the dungeon guardian from terraria. Sure you CAN kill it, but there's no reason
