Fuck yes. I hate how I can't see the island from the escape pod but I can see the shipwreck from the island. Not sure if they fixed it this patch but there was a strange thing going on where I could view the island from underwater but it wasn't visible above the water until I got closer.

>>387843428
I dunno what happened there, but Oculus.
It's fantastic and a totally different experience with the headset on, but I really would prefer if they had Touch controller support rather than having to hold an Xbox controller.

Did they fix the crazy frame drops and pop in yet?

How exactly is the cute fish going to work?
Will it be in our inventory when we start a new game or do you reckon it'll just be swimming around the life pod or something. Also anyone else had that weird double life pod thing happen to them? My original one went red and said it was unsafe for human life, but just as it did that another empty function life pod was floating in the water right next to my one, so I just moved over there. Then when I relaunched the game my new life pod was gone and my old one was fine.

If you wanna wait an extra 2-3 months for them to add in the ending and optimize some shit then go ahead, but at this point there's little reason to sit around and wait for them to raise the price. The game is like 95% finished.

would really really like more non-aggressive life. Everything wants to kill you or is a small fish aside from the treaders and reefbacks. Game needs a few more whale and dolphin style life forms. I'd also love another above sea island, maybe with a unique enemy on it.

Yes.

Of harpoons, spear guns, torpedoes, and bang-sticks as well. But subjecting creatures to a slow and painful death via 1,000 cuts with a knife is fine.

>>387850151
this isn't some legislative issue - this is a personal creative project of some person and they should be free to do with it whatever they want.

I'm not fond of that double-faced explanation (because some of the utilities in the game are as nasty and lethal as plain projectile weapons) and i couldn't care less about the background decisions, but i do find the game about survival without blatant firing solution a much more interesting challenge.

>>387847954
I sympathize with wanting "more creative solutions to solve our problems." That's downright admirable. But everything else reeks of having their head so far up their ass they think a harpoon in a fish game is going to contribute to violence in the world at large? Just how self-important are they that they think they're going to have that kind of impact?

>>387850504
>(because some of the utilities in the game are as nasty and lethal as plain projectile weapons)
I think the point is people don't go killing others with exploding fish and gas torpedos in real life.

>>387850628
I don't think anyone asked for them to put in an automatic rifle. Well, no one above the age of 13.

>>387850754
People ask them to put in spear guns because people are retarded and think a single small metal spear is going to do anything to a sea creature three times the size of a metro city bus.

>>387850496
Yes that would absolutely be better.
>>387850504
My main issue is the explanation, but I don't like survival games omitting basic concepts for survival.

It ran too slow on my system (i7, Geforce 1080ti) and the ground clipping/gaps threw me off. I'll probably try again next time I upgrade my PC (1-2 years).

>>387850867
It would be neat to use that to hitch a ride on something big.

>>387850867
I wouldn't mind a speargun if it was just for smallfry predators. You could even give those predators a useful resource and have players go out to hunt them.

Everything that shoots doesn't need to be for killing the biggest threats in the game.

>>387850889
Guns don't work 1000 meters underneath the sea, at least not any conventional ones. Spearguns would be shit because

1. A spear gun is a very slow weapon. Think a crowwbow.
2. You get one shot

So they can add spear guns but I want it to be a totally useless weapon that takes up as many slots as the stasis gun and each spear takes up 5 slots itself. Takes 3 spears to kill anything larger than a sandshark.

there are spear guns for smaller fish, and there are stationary harpoon cannons.

They are however legally obliged to put, along with harpoon cannon, a "the bigger they are..." achievement, which is something i'll gladly avoid even if it will cost me something as badass as the picrelated

>>387850867
>big fish is faster than you
>shoot with speargun and it shrugs it off

It looks like they screwed up and removed the option to create beacons, but the performance improvements are definitely noticeable. The positioning in VR still gets fucked up so you have to move forward a foot every time you get in a vehicle to not be staring at your own neck, but looking around inside the Seamoth feels much more spacious, which is a bigger deal than it sounds.

Risk-reward. Slower shot but does substantial damage.

>2. You get one shot
It's the future. You can justify a magical spear clip if you wanted to, and justify it with enough flashy effects.

>So they can add spear guns but I want it to be a totally useless weapon that takes up as many slots as the stasis gun and each spear takes up 5 slots itself.
That's dumb. The game is already too stingy with inventory space. If anything they need to figure out how a player can tote around enough to function on the most basic of levels.

>>387848490
Didn't the latest update fix it so that nothing short of a Leviathan would even attack the Cyclops?

>>387848731
No, it's supposed to happen automatically.
Unless they changed it in a recent update.
Worth noting though that last time I tried that, I couldn't build them that high without the floor appearing through after like 6 levels, so idk.

>>387851543
they did - they fixed the jihad sharks that would ram the boat until dead

>>387851543
Nope, was just playing yesterday and I can't make it into the lower section of the lost river without a fucking fire breaking out. Apparently they added shielding for the cyclops but I haven't seen where its recipe is, and I doubt it's going to make the Cyclops as comfy as before.

>>387851517
>that's dumb
No, what's dumb is wanting a terrible "Weapon" because you don't seem to get conventional ones are not meant to recreate COD miles under the ocean. Real spear guns are not meant to be replacements for AK-47's

1. It's a fucking video game, a "spear gun" can be as good or bad as they like because this game has already established technology exists that would appear to us to be "magic."
2. I never asked for it to be fucking "COD" I just said your ideas are dumb.

i guess it's just inevitable - the frustration of having something taken away from you, which is the major negative thing about early access.
Here we are - some people have accepted that Cyclops was a freaking unsinkable mobile fortress of mass destruction and when devs reasonably nerfed it to make a game less of a cake walk, player were pissed.
I got on board after Cyclops was nerfed and was fine with what has been provided for counter-measuring attacks and could easily deal with the sharks even when they were 100% allakhu akbar on anything named after mythical creature

My Oculus Rift is arriving from Amazon tomorrow. How is this game in VR?

Pants-shitting scary, I reckon.

>>387852530
anything the size of bonesharks stopped attacking it as of last update, you can keep silent running going as long as you want and deactivate/reactivate it as you see fit and the same goes for the shield module, said shield just consumes a constant stream of power now though

also you can have 6 module upgrades in your cyclops now

>>387854230
