Yeah, I'm not complaining about the story, or really that it's full at all. I just enjoyed the eerie feeling of the empty, ominous cavern of the old ILZ
Like i stated before, I'm not complaning at all. I love the ILZ flora and fauna, but the game was a lot creepier in its early stages.
I agree - it was frightening. Really. Truly. Frightening. To be blind in the deep. To have difficulty navigating and no shelter before the yawning abyss.
There is a lot more gameplay in the finished ILZ... definitely the better of the two in that respect.
But I'll miss how the abyss made me feel!
I love the feeling of exploring in your seamoth in the DGR and finding a seemingly endless pit in the ground and wondering what's down there?! without it being filled with life.
The old version and the new one are both good on their own way. Each one suited for a specific gameplay over the other, contradictory to one another.
Just like a year or so ago, if you were to go to the abyss, you'd hear what sounded like water rushing everywhere (when you're very deep underwater the pressure of the water creates a very loud and very... honestly pretty soothing sound) and a very faint high pitched sound way off in the distance. Now it's just complete silence, and I'm very confused why they did that.
Edit: For those of you unfamiliar with what the deep ocean sounds like:
Just ignore the sound of an iceberg scraping the seafloor and pretend you can hear a very faint high pitched call, and that's what the abyss used to sound like.
How do you know it's an iceberg hmmmmmm????
lol, it's really fun knowing that this is a real recording of our oceans, and you'd have heard that if you were out diving in open ocean.
Imagine being on the first manned voyage to the bottom of the myriana trench and while in this larger-than-mount-everest sized canyon in the pitch black ocean you hear that low pitched wailing all around you.
hiding
Waiting
This is my my worst fear in one sentence.
Subnautica really doesn't help either
And also this
If you're looking for spooky territory, the Blood Kelp Trench works just fine imo.
Well... I was looking for a place with nothing but darkness and spooky ambiance. The ILZ and BKT work, but there so full of life that it feels like it's a place you have to visit. After you visit the BKT and ILZ a lot, you start to loose the fear. I would like a place that's pitch black and silent and the only thing that makes you want to go there is your own curiosity. The old ILZ had that perfectly.
Go wander around in the dark abyss off the ends of the map.
Well, that old ILZ sure was something. All the biomes, for some reason, they don't get very interesting after some time exploring them.
Maybe, if the devs had decided to keep the old ILZ, and adding that sound @Fluffers posted here, and oh boy! Sum it with the Ghost Leviathan.
If things were like that, bye bye PG-10 XD
You own the game, yes? There are ways of acquiring older revisions... just to compare. I mean, the devs aren't going to get any good feedback (probably) if you're playing an outdated version. But it would be fun just to go back in time, and it is possible.
Care to elaborate on how to do this?
The farthest back in time I've gotten is just by not updating my first save file, and it is now stuck in pre H2.0.
But I would love to play when the game was first released. My nostalgia levels would be through the roof.
Ya, but not publicly (as then anyone who wanted could just get the game for free, unfortunately). XP See PMs in a min or two.
I do this often but it's not the same feeling as the old game
I would love to know how to do this!
Ya know, for da spook
Thanks
DAVE always wins in the end...
