Love this game. Ever since trying the VR mod though I’ve been dying for official support. Imagine using the proper VR controls to pop handbrake and steer the car, would be the most immersive thing!
Still, even with that said if you like the game and have access to a VR headset It’s still worth giving it a go, it really fits the game I think.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t been able to get into Subnautica. I spent like 2 hours swimming in circles, trying to figure out what to do in that game before I realized I was supposed to check messages or something on the escape pod first. I felt totally abandoned and alone in the ocean, without much of a direction to go. It was a little too “open world” for me, if that makes sense.
Pacific Drive, on the other hand, drops you right into the action, with three people in your ear helping guide you through this strange and unique world. You can always go off and explore regions on your own, but your primary objectives are always clear. I don’t think I could get lost if I tried.
I’ve been meaning to go back and try Subnautica again. Maybe I’ll do a write-up on it and see if I enjoy it, now that I’m used to crafting/exploring games.
interesting perspective, because while i completed subnautica i got tired of pacific drive. mainly because subnautica is open and static. you can make your way around a problem area meaning you get by with less time scavenging, while pacific drive is relentless and random, and will absolutely fuck you up if you don’t have the right ingredients. it sells itself on its driving aesthetic, but you spend so little time actually in the car that it seems pointless. it’s all just digging through trash and crafting.
Man I picked this up and spent ALL DAY yesterday on it, it’s so much fun! I got one character up to level 60+ in the second level (library) yesterday, he was effectively unkillable with Garlic, Runetracer, Magic Wand, etc all going at once.
This game is super satisfying and I absolutely had dreams about it, Tetris-style. I got the DLC for good measure and what I’ve tried is really good! More of the game but with some extra stuff going on. I’m gonna get so many hours out of this! And might need a third controller so I can play with my wife and my kid.
You’re in for a treat! The game is a literal rabbit hole. The more you play, the more it opens up. I think I’m close to a hundred hours in and my start menu is very different to where you’re at.
It’s literally a self-bought gift which keeps on giving! I’m finally getting close to unlocking everything.
Oh buddy. Finally sat down to play it with my kid and she was HOOKED, her maniacal laughter at Pentagram was worth every penny. Immediately blew several hours, I’m thinking most of tomorrow too.
The DLC slaps too! That Contra one is super fun. I’m gonna be at this for a while. It’s a really good one to chill in after playing some Mechwarrior, too - one game where you have to consciously use everything at all times, and another where it’s just “LOL BOOM”
Have fun! I wrote in that other message I was close to unlocking everything, right? Well, nope! Fulfilling a certain secret led me to unlock more secrets to fulfill! The rabbithole, goes on and on.
Oh man I can’t even imagine how much is squirreled away if you’re still finding stuff like that, damn! Gonna get my money’s worth out of this game for sure
I also finally grabbed Balatro so it seems I’m in full dopamine mode now, see yall in a few months
Hey, so… it’s been two weeks. The addiction deepens. I’ve got the whole game on two systems now. I’m trying to use the wiki while still finding surprises lol.
This game is the shit and I thank you for driving me to it
Yeah, it’s pretty easy. There’s a little technique required for climbing/balancing on ledges, but it’s not super challenging and you can always adjust your camera view to make it easier.
Yes, absolutely. It is both more technically engaging and less punishing than something like Stray. There’s no “damage” of any kind, including fall damage, so there’s no game overing to worry about. The one time I managed to “die” in this game, I had found a way out of bounds and then fell into the void. The game just put me back at my last spot in bounds, no progress lost, easy as anything. The only thing that requires any kind of skill is jumping and pouncing, and even then, only because the reticle takes a little getting used to. If we’re being totally honest, this game was made by one of the original Half Life devs for his children.
