It's pissing me off so much how the first Subnautica game seems to have attracted mostly people who seem to be into horror games or the vibes. The team wasnt intending for it to be a horror game but one of adventure and exploration. And the horror elements to it are inconsequential imo. And thus, under the newest video where the developers are asking for what people would love to see in Subnautica 2, so so many people are pissing on Below Zero and its making me so effing mad. Like I dont think I would have liked Below Zero thar much if it had the same story direction as Subnautica. I kinda like the idea of there being different stories in each game that take place on the same planet of 4546B and they all have their own vibes, some horrory, some less. I hope yo god the developers wont lean too much into the horror aspect because to me, it already IS there and if they put more effort on that then itd gonna overdo it for real.
I think those people want a wholly different game and theyre just clouded vy chikdhood nostalgia of growing up w Subnautica and now expecting the sequels to be basically just the first game all over again. Meanwhile I actually see the potential in expanding the lore of the Architects, bringing in interesting human characters etc. I think this is the first time Ive seen the fandom not care about a story/lore in the game at all. Usually its the opposite the sequels not holding up to originals story etc. Below Zero did hold up tho, but ppl disnt care bwcause Ig they usually dont care about a story driven game that is not horror or sth.
Man i have so many more thoughts on this but I gotta go now or i miss the bus lmao
