no, but that's par for the course with subnautica trailers. in the first one the trailer is from the POV of the degasi crew, which crashed years before the aurora

i'm not ENTIRELY sure what the issue is... there are PLENTY of games where the main character gives little audio cues on where the player should go next and it's fine. "thinking outloud" is an extremely common narrative tool. but with this game when it happens it just... i've said it before and so many others have as well, but the sense of dread is just gone in this one. it's GOTTA be the land areas as well as the constant dialogue... but that SHOULDN'T be what does it...

Just thst moment in subnautivs 1 where you climb out of the capsule and see literally no land. And your starship is burning is such a powerful moment. You start to ponder the implications.
In 2 strong wamen gets her buddy to send her down on purpose to find her equally strong wamen of color sister. She lands with land and facilities all around. No doom. No fear. Just strong wamen

man even the edge of the map is disapointing. i got to it and it just gently rolls down looking like nothing. no precipice, no cliff face. if you got 6 feet down the hill your screen turbo blacks out and the wakandan illhan omar voice barks at you that your'e entering an ecological dead zone and death is eminent.

I just beat Below Zero a few minutes ago. I thought I missed a key area or went way out of order because
Also, there were some materials that had no use? Nuclear was hinted at but I never found a recipe that utilized the uranium or nuclear reactors?
It was enjoyable, but having constant communication and waypoints made this inferior to the first game in many, many ways.
Edit: Yep I did miss a couple critical spots. Well, clearly not critical for game progression, but arguably critical for getting the most enjoyment out of the game... In hindsight, once I found that map in the Delta base, I should've set about going to all the bases. But it seemed like every time I turned around I was being sent to scan alien artifact locations. Oh well.
I cured the leviathan and Robin was like "I'm just glad I got the opportunity to do what Sam wanted" or something like that. Completely out of left field. Two minutes before the end of the game I found station zero where there's PDAs of Sam talking about how she's gonna cure it.

The first Subnautica was amazing. No DEI.
Below Zero was like being in a movie theater with a black woman.
Hopefully we can create our own characters.
The game description on Steam says you can play alone or with friends. So multiplayer is a thing.

i don’t care about DEI, if the games fun, it’s fun. If it’s not, it’s not.
Admittedly, I’m not a big horror gamer and being in (swimming) in deep ocean water terrifies me. Lol

Should try it, absolutely an experience worth having, make it to the first 300meter dive for an upgrade piece and see how it goes.

Oh I missed that he hadn't played the first one. My first playthrough of Subnautica ranks up there among my best gaming experiences of all time, especially if you can resist the urge to look things up for as long as possible and do as much as possible purely through exploration.
If I could zap the part of my brain that carries my Subnautica memories I would just to be able to experience that first playthrough again.
