INFECTED MONSTERS - Pro and Noob VS Subnautica! (Sunbeam Plot Twist)

[@AIextris]

Nice to see Josh getting a little less spooked as he gets more invested in the plot. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@Dragonhatchie]

IMPORTANT: All of your ships, including the glide, have lights!! Yes, lights! you can now make Josh explore in the dark without an excuse anymore than he cant see!

[@valteine]

Don they still suffer from the thing all these games do where they make your lights feel actually useless?

[@ivorynargie]

​@valteine ironically, in subnautica the lights help alot, to the point you kinda cant go on without lights

[@valteine]

Actually helpful lights. Wonderful.

I just realized this, but Josh: "I have really bad thalassophobia." Also Josh: "Please bring back underwater combat in MH6."

[@jacktheomnithere2127]

that's right! but i guess it's because Monster Hunter is 3rd preson view? if it's not the case, then that's weird.

[@Omegafire17]

@@jacktheomnithere2127 I imagine it's more the difference in experience Underwater sections in MH (at least in the current Gen 3-only version) only contained the big monsters you're already expecting, and otherwise functioned as normal MH action with a twist. Underwater sections in Subnautica is completely different from that, and far more realistic in experience compared to MH's example, so it hits much harder

[@chrsjxn]

I'm definitely with Cotton. The game is _very_ different if you don't suffer from thalassaphobia as much as Josh does, and they're still in the shallow parts of the world. It is going to get so much worse

This game is actually one of the only games that can cause almost every single one of my fears can be spiked. Megalophobia(fear of large objects or creatures) Thalassophobia(fear of the ocean) Nyctophobia(fear of the dark/whats in the dark) Vorarephobia(fear of being eaten alive) Skelephobia(fear of skeletons) And yes. I am a little bitch. I'm scared of a lot of things and this game makes them all go off-

[@Lakita2880]

Unless you're like me. I have SEVERE thalassophobia, but mainly in real life. I fucking hate water I can't see into. But most games don't scare me that much. Very few manage to actually terrify me. One of the only ones I can remember is Sons of the Forest. Going out to sea on a tiny life raft and seeing a massive great white just horrified me. I fell into the water, and it was just the most primal fear imaginable. That shit was awful. And Subnautica didn't really scare me that much. It was a bit ominous, and the leviathans scared me a bit, but not more than most people who played the game I'd imagine. Hell I even played it in VR and it wasn't that bad.

[@Jyharri]

I am very happy that Josh has finally overcome his fear of the Stalkers. Though that has been exchanged for falling feet first into a water hole.

TIP: I don't know if you guys are just cutting it off but when ever you pick up the blue PDA tablet that people left, there's like a black box system that transfer the other crews Recordings on your own PDA for you to listen to and get a sense of what's happening to them. You might want to check your PDA.

[@alferrbidelspatch158]

10:31 that is the most genuine scared voice i ever heard from Josh

[@rexosuitmk2577]

4:00 These questions are why reading the survivor's PDA's are important. The escape pod's computer detected the dry land above it and sent the coordinates to the officer in the pod. Wait, this info was actually stated IN THE MESSAGE THAT GAVE YOU THE WAYPOINT FOR THE FIRST OFFICER'S POD! Eh, to be fair, spoken info doesn't get absorbed well.

[@lunethheart]

11:40 The foreshadowing is on point here

[@andregon4366]

Don't worry Josh, the zone around the Aurora is the safest area in the game. The radiation killed everything around it. In matter of fact, you should bring a repair tool, you need to use it to stop radiation from leaking. Otherwise that place will remain barren and lifeless. 😞

[@selo.harper.24]

Firstly you can hold your scanner out and self scan! Then to inform you about the Sunbeam, there has been logs about the distress beacon from the Aurora, after it was shot down, and the Sunbeam did a scan of the world and said they could try and met any survivors at those coordinates as it was the best land they could find. It isn't a designated spot for rendezvous on this uncharted planet XD

[@dominiquedegner5040]

Love how he is already panicing abot being 90m down considering how deep it actually goes😂 respect though for doing this despite of your phobia❤

[@GunlessSnake]

I suppose base-building is the only real relief when Josh isn't safely on land. But I do recall the sudden ancient aliens angle when the game was really popular in the public conscience. But of course, the deeper you get..... the bigger the fish.

[@matttwigg9475]

The fact that Josh is constantly asking "What is going on?" and isn't scanning everything, as evidenced by him not scanning the pedestals and the Weapon Control, is seriously making me twitch. While it doesn't explain everything right away, there is so much that the scans tell you that helps things make sense.

[@raistlinmajere5550]

Josh getting back from the island was adorable i just wish he went closer to the Aurora and got to see THAT fish

[@KsnypsAdventures]

I like seeing Josh overcome his fears and murder the stalkers while Monster hunter music is playing. It reminds the monsters that they’re facing the Monster hunter. Once you get to the „larger things” or get off the planet it would be a crime not to play proof of a hero or some sort of victory theme

Josh, there is not real reason to kill any creature in Subnautica. You get nothing from it. You get stalker teeth by being near them. They’re teeth will sometimes break off when they grab scrap metal and you can pick it up. You can make this easier by feeding them peepers and bringing them the metal to expedite the process.

I imagine Josh isn't checking the comments, since he didn't notice what I said in last video, so imma just give insentive again, and provide more. 2 things. Since day 1, you've had a flashlight in your fabricator list, so you could make that so you aren't getting spooked by the darkness As well, the aurora has many useful things, like, idk, beds so you can sleep through the nights, battery chargers, vehicles. I won't say where anything is, cause I want Josh to conquer his fear. However, I'll also say, before you go to the aurora, make the stasis rifle. You'll need it
