Beating the most terrifying game I've ever played

Yeah enjoyed

@RemGremlin i have goofed.

@Dr.Light64 you done goofed, he said he made the fish are friends capsule, not the first capsule

Mmmmm! Delicious!

L fish

I was trying to get nickel and I tried going out that way rn I have my game off with my prawn suit at 0% battery 500 meters down

i dont get why everyone is so afraid of them, they do like 2% of the prawn and seamoth’s hp on a single attack and the emp lasts for like 3 seconds

turn your lights off

maybe the chillsquid did not like you?

Just don't shine lights at them, and if they do turn aggressive, get out and hit them once with your knife and they'll run away

ok

Rodeo on a dragon leviathan is the best bro

@Draw nothing is faster than exploding gas bubbles you should try it it's pretty fun, get a lot of exploding gas bubbles and go to whatever you wanna see dead, stasis it and go up to it's head (from behind cause I think hitbox is still active even while in stasis) drop all the bubbles and back off they will explode while the thing is stopped and kill it right away

Its literally a rodeo trying to attack leviathan while latches onto it

@Pixel why are u lying to yourself lol

@The Knightikins stop lying to yourself lol

@MrSkme This. It's one of the only games where I felt an actual fear of my character dying when I first went exploring because I felt like I WAS the character, and everything else around me seemed like such a genuinely real world.

Also one of the most atmospheric games ever

the funny thing is that Subnautica was never meant to be scary, it just so happened that the setting of the game ended up being terrifying for players due to the atmosphere and unintentional design.

Also him eating the fish. I almost started laughing out loud, especially when I saw the comment of the guy who made it.

same applies to 23:04

I stopped being scared after watching somebody play it kill it with the standard knife after trapping it using the habitat builder

ok

ok

just get a seamoth perimeter defense

That reaper scared me so bad it still does

@ruhen shamraaj i was citing a direct quote from the pda, but i didn’t actually know there were 2, thanks for sharing!

@ruhen shamraaj no, he was referring to the fact that, lore-wise at least, reaper leviathan roars double as sonar, so that was a literal statement. (In terms of gameplay though it doesn't function like that. I dont recall if the reason was they couldnt get it to work properly, or because they COULD get it to work and decided it would be unfair)

“God save you if you heard something wandering nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you”

@creb guy There are actually two roars. One it does normally and another, slightly different one once it sees you.

"if you cant hear them, fear even more"

Fantastic

verdade

Very good. Excellent game. Thanks.

Not found this task.

nice

@Headass Incorrect, it simply means a work of outstanding quality, it has nothing to do with perfection

Small ant played the first one but what about below zero?

Bot

i get no chills i just cry like the fu*kin baby i am to be honest i dont think anybody survived the ending without crying even a little

By mom 🥺😢😭🖐️

@Regular Goat I know

@か you’re the one who corrected me lol

i love how literally everyone is paying respect to you

@Regular Goat yea sorry. Btw relax

@Yohan nope, he actually made it

it makes you think how much time do you think they put in the map and graphics ALONE.

@Issou Lachancla not as good as the first but it's still one of the best story games out there

@Issou Lachancla Its focused more on the story rather than survival, that doesnt make it bad. I agree its not as good as the first, but its still a good game.

the sequel is trash because you don't feel alone, it's more like an action game

He should play the sequel tho

I doubt that he's being scared easily by this game at all. By that I mean any average gamer will get very scared. Seems like he actually is _less scared_ than many other people I've seen play this game. One person I saw had a crippling fear preventing her from even progressing (which I think she did get over though).

@Jhonny Oval Head 8-bitryan's playthrough introduced me to this game, so it will always have special significance to me.

nice allay

@Joey Gonzales Yeah I agree lol

@Jhonny Oval Head oh I actually started looking into buying it, I think I'll wait to experience it myself. Thanks for the suggestions tho

As someone studying to become a marine biologist, I can tell you the stuff that's swimming down in the deep sea of our own planet is sometimes equally if not more alien looking. There might not be any fire spitting or telepathic squid-crustaceans, but we do have giant squid that grows up to 2-13 m (39-43 ft)

"Detecting multiple leviathan-class lifeforms in the area. Are you sure whatever you're doing is worth it?"

I noticed and even asked myself if it was not an edit but a game feature

for real it was so smooth came looking for this comment

IK RIGHT also 29:55

@TheAdvertisement yeah but not as stressful as being attacked by a reaper leviathan

Lmao same. Seeing smug, over-confident Smallant screech in fear because of some big scary fish or something is immensely funny to me

@I forgot Well yeah but that doesn't mean he hasn't been in stressful situations with those happy games.

Theres a difference between a cute and happy mario game and a sci fi, horror, exploration, and survival game

Subnautica has its own type of horror, at best humbling

@WeirdFlex the ecological dead zone is filled with ghost leviathans. and it's just a dark empty abyss. pretty creepy if you've played the game lol

@WeirdFlex Bit of a spoiler here The message is something like "warning, detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in this area, are you sure whatever you're doing is worth it?" The dunes biome is filled with Reaper Leviathans

I forget why, please explain. I haven't played the game.

The message you get when entering the dunes probably causes even more terror

He didn’t even get to experience the best song in the game when your cyclops is in the process of sinking

Damm yeah its amazing he got the cyclops into the lava zone without going through the river. Definetly something possible and theres definetly not footage of him taking the cyclops through the river in the video

@GiantAlaskanWorm tbf the cyclops would get stuck in 90% of the biomes and would only be viable in the Arctic, Tree Spires and Lilypads honestly Like the seatruck is infinitely smaller and it’ll still get caught on absolutely everything It would’ve been cool to have but it makes sense why it isn’t around

ikr, yet they took it off from below zero and we got seatruck instead, which is way less cooler than cyclops ://

@day dreams As I recall, the full sized ones already spawn there, detracting from its status as the empty ocean left behind by a super-deadly virus that nearly killed everything on the planet.

@missingno miner yeah, that's true. i don't know much about the mod but maybe if they had it spawn in the dead zone it might work? a lot of open empty space so it doesn't clip through walls and stuff, probably will still be buggy but. the lore still won't make sense but oh well lol

@ROBIN nothing about its size works in the game, not only is it big to the point of being buggy, it also doesn't work from a lore perspective since it's extinct and most of the super-sized prey it would have eaten when it was around are also extinct or almost extinct, with what prey is still around being restricted to small areas it can't enter.

Tbf once you install a mod you know what you're in for, takes away from the surprise factor and the unknown

i don't know, i love the idea they have for the mod, but they make it TOO big. it gets to the point where it's really unwieldy and buggy (which ruins immersion), and it loses some of the fear when you just see a mile of body and no face. the perspective almost gets ruined.

Ya know that the capsules are randomly placed in everyone’s world, I bet more than 10k of them are eaten

@day dreams i did love it. Wish it were longer tho, i beat it in roughly a week and a half.

@Levi Lilnoir you're going to love it. one of my favorite gaming experiences and although the game isn't very replayable, that first playthrough was worth it entirely.

The sequel is more like a large DLC. It uses the exact same basegame but you're playing on another map.

@Lee Alabaster thanks. Im sold. It’s only like 30$ too. Gonna buy it.

@Levi Lilnoir most people prefer the first one and i would recommend the first aswell. It allows for greater exploration because in the sequel it feeks like you are being told what to do whereas in the first game you have to explore to find things, with hints being given throughout

@Amplify nah they are the same words like bigger and uh i forgot what it was?

@mr skulliousis There's a slight difference between the meaning of those two words.

@Amplify yeah stasis

@mr skulliousis "No results found for Racist Rifle Subnautica, do you perhaps mean Stasis Rifle Subnautica?"

@Amplify yeah i think thats the name

@kosmos he found everything very early, like the floating island, and the blueprints he got were found quickly for a beginner.

What made him lucky?

Leviathans fully included. You just need to drive into them a bit differently

Yeah that's because Below Zero was like ankle deep.

@Ipoxis that's not it

I think the reason as to why below zero was less terrifying is because you had the precursor guy with you. Which lended it to being less of an “alone” game

@MojoNojo06 it actually has nothing to do with the story. I think it's got something to do with the map layouts of the two games. In the original you can't see anything around you minus the Aurora and some weird clouds, and the biomes are generally a lot flatter. In BZ, you can't even always see above water, and when you can you'll always be able to see some sort of land nearby. I think the more vertical design of BZ also factors into it.

@The101 Gamer yeah there’s the Chelicerates, Shadow Leviathans and Ice Worms. But yeah the Ice Worms being on land makes it feel like there’s less, same with the Snowfox vehicle. I wish they would’ve added one more ocean vehicle and one more ocean leviathan

Holy crap is that a hectique reference??

@WeirdFlex I found this on the subnautica wiki "If the player stays in the Crater Edge for 30 seconds, a second Ghost Leviathan will spawn. Staying in the area for another 30 seconds will spawn a third and final Ghost Leviathan. They will pursue the player until they return to the playable area, upon which all Ghost Leviathans retreat."

@WeirdFlex it's the edge of the map, you cant explore 8000 meters down without cheating and even if you do it's a featureless plane

Is there anything else or just the leviathan? What if you were to explore down there?

He just has to put his foot down

@Jade Kaiser As I went throught my logs I see that I got infected on Day 5, it progressed on Day 25, another update on 69. On day 91 I got "Bacterial infection has spread to the skin and pulmonary system". My logs of exploring island starts on day 107. I managed to get cured at Day 156. I am sure that creatures may get infected by each other (observed it in the fish tank). About me fricking over eating raw fish, my paranoic brain remembered it as connected. I thought green fish looked ugly so I always would catch and eat them so they won't swim around. I saw logs 2 days before infection about fabricator being crucial for correctly preparring food for safe human consumpction so I happened to eat raw fish (probably green one) and than I got infected so I linked those two together

@Relys Smith I don't believe you, as there are known triggers you can look up and that is not one of them. Perhaps you just remembered things wrong, perhaps you're making things up. I don't know, but you are wrong either way. Creatures don't start showing infection more as time passes, either. From the very start of the game, some show signs, and some don't.

@Jade Kaiser And I believe eating raw fish progress infection story line. I remember eating raw fish by accident in the first 1h of the playthrough and the voice teling me something like "You should have prepared food before eating it. It makes it less likely to couse harm. Self scan is recommended" and thus my infection was revealed to me before even leaving shallow water. I remember how annoyed I was even considering starting over, but I didn't because I just finished collecting a lot of resources into boxes and did small research online if reset is needed, but thankfully I learned this is inevitable. I started this storyline so early and didn't visit island for so long (because of leviatan near) that at some point most creatures was covered in green just like my hands showing late stage of infection

@ToyKeeper I saw it but when I saw that comment I already had posted mine

The fish capsule person watched this and seemed entertained by it. It sounded like the same time capsule has been present in a bunch of different playthroughs, so losing one for dinner isn't such a bad thing. The comment is by TikaratheMew, and is currently pinned.
