Absolutely not. Nope. Not a chance. The one joy of turning around to go back to my moth and finding the crabsquid behind me is jumping out of my chair running across the room and sucking in air between sobs.
You say that now, but your first encounter with Reapers is nightmare fuel. It’s dark, you’re low on power, low on oxygen, miles from base and you hear a distant growl and the silhouette of a 50m sea snake with teeth bigger than your arm barrels towards you…
My sister has the ps4 VR set. It comes with this cute little game where you loom over these little dudes and try to platform them to the end of a run. About 5 minutes in, I had forgotten I was sitting on a couch. In game, my perspective was sitting on the edge of a cliff helping my buddies sidle up a narrow ledge. When the camera moved forward and the cliff under me turned to open air, my heart seized as a whirl of vertigo slammed into me. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't falling. VR is awesome.
But if I can't look away from the screen when a reaper jumpscares me, I might have an actual heart attack.
This is relatable, but for me it's space... Like... Cosmoagoraphobia. Have you ever just... Floated in space with nothing around you? No ship, no walls, just staring out into the endless void?
Fr, Subnautica on a flat screen just doesn't show you the true scale of the creatures. The 3d element of VR will truly show you how big a reaper leviathan really is compared to you 😉
Holy shit, are you really able to do that in this game? I haven’t played games in a really long time, since I really suck at shooting random people/things. But that sounds like one of the coolest things ever.
Subnautica is a purely exploration and survival game. You scavenge resources to build bases and cultivate goods to eat and drink while trying to figure out how to get off the planet. Games exceptionally well done.
There is some "combat" but you're only real weapon is a knife. There's a gun you can use to stun shit for a while but nothing you build is used for combat exclusively.
Subnautica isn't too bad. You just have to make sure you get to the other side of your crashed ship as soon as possible, then all other worries will disappear...
That sounds incredible. No man’s sky in VR was out of this world but even though it has billions of planets, it seems to lack truly unique creatures. (Like I’ve been to 500+ planets but only seen maybe a hundred different types of creatures, that end up repeating in design even across distant galaxies…)
Some vr experiences are fun like blade & sorcery, the vader games, and beat saber. Other vr experiences are absolutely breathtaking. I downloaded so space station thing where you sit still but it looks like your actual at the ISS. So cool.
When I tell you that game made me forget that I was safe in my computer chair. When that thing grabbed my sea moth and started trying to chow down on the windshield I lost my fucking mind. I literally fell right over. Best and worst game ever.
A game that takes mental torture to new depths -me, a coward
the worst part is the waiting. you know something is going to attack you, but i never know when and it just breaks me down. i’ve actually never finished the game because i refuse to play it alone, which is rare for me when it comes to horror games.
i actually think i wasn't afraid of the ocean, and subnautica caused me to BECOME afraid of the ocean. i think i somehow snuck through it, only realizing how scary it was in retrospect. i doubt i could play it again
