i'm afraid to keep playing

[FirePhoenix]

This is not some joke.

I got around 12 hours in the game and i loved it so much, i'm now at a point where i have a solid base and a cyclops and the exo suit, i have not gone below 200 - 250 meters dept yet because i went there once and it is way too scary, ESPECIALLY with the cyclops, you hear alarms and beeping ever so often and it almost makes me poop, you can't see♥♥♥♥♥♥aswell.

This all happend after i went to around 300m dept and i encountered a leviathan in the dark, can someone help me with this issue or has someone else had this problem before?

i feel like a child

Fun fact #1: my girlfriend cried just using the cyclops at 250M dept out of fear, this game is just scary as hell

And I was "Constructivly" stating that I find such a thread ridiculous. It is just a game...

Your opinion doesn't seem to matter in someone else's opinion in this case.

I can live with that. I was just throwing it out there.

Some Internet Warriors don't like that.

OP, you can also turn on the No damage and Invisible cheats and scope out the leviathans if you didnt want to start a new creative save.

To the cold-hearted: a person has every right to turn to their community and peers to discuss their fears. This is the subnautica community, if a person has a fear about the game then they have the right to turn to the community to ask others how they have overcome the fear. Many people have used this game in particular to get over Thalassophobia. If you don't like it then ignore it. Saying that someone is asking to be bullied for posting this is complete garbage. Its common decency that has nothing to do with "internet warriors" or "opinions".

It's shocking to see you namecalling.

Might make sense to take your own advice when it comes to other people's point of view.

Tell people on the Internet about a fear of yours or yell "All black people should be shot" during a festival about equality, you'll get mixed reactions, because you asked for them.

Same here. I can swim and love diving, the problem is, uncharted deep waters make you dread like hell. I like and HATE that as an instinct like Chainsaws.

I've yet to go beneath 300m, last time before updates occured I was busy having an heart attack from the seaworm in the cavern AFTER having a Reaper glitch through submarine glass to take me in one swoop.

i made my profile with the intention of it being 1 giant joke.

However, you judging someone just by someone name and profile pic and taking it 100% serious on STEAM, the platform where people have the most retarded profiles is relatively sad.

But then again, it is sadder having a ironic profile than discussing who is more of a ♥♥♥♥ on a subtopic of a game.

i would say ''spot the sarcasm''

I really do not want to sound harsh, but moralism is slowly going to eat this planet from it is core and it is going to be a downfall of our civilisation.

I could imagine being scared of things as a kid.... because kids lack serious knowledge. And by definition (Correct me if I am wrong) you are only scared of things you do not understand. That is why studying spiders for example (When you have arachnophobia) is one of the top ways to fight it.

But what is there to be afraid of in a game that follows a set of rules and is limited by code? The leviathan is gonna come out of your screen and eat your face?

If you're really fishing for people who have a low opinion about anime profiles and/or make fun about them, then you wouldn't be complaining about getting the reaction/s you wanted to get.

How am I supposed to take someone who has almost each line of his post censored seriously?

[Stelar Seven]

Wow, I take a few months off and the regulars get even saltier. Let's all attack someone online, wheeeee now we feel better about our own inadequacies.

[Obraxis]

OP, sorry I couldn't get to this thread earlier. I've banned Tim Timsen for a month for his/her behaviour. If they act immaturely like they have in this thread when they return, it will become permanent. Sorry that they insulted you and derailed your thread.

I can tell you that if the fear is overcome, the game gets so amazing yet still challenging and awe-inspiring. I just cured myself of the infection today after braving the deepest biome and monsters so big they make regular leviathans look innocuous. Of course, I took a lot of time preparing for the trek, making sure I had my Cyclops fully-outfitted and had enough food and water. Now I just gotta wait for the game to be finished and escape from the planet. ^_^

I can admit my first time piloting the cyclops around at those depths, it was quite fear-inspiring for me as well. My advice? Explore new areas slowly and gradually to become conditioned. You'll still have those twinges of unexpected fear, but that's to be expected in a game like this.

BAWLLS TO THE WALL!!! Give'em an inch and they'll walk all over you.

Thank you.

[Zemecon]

EDIT: To the OP, you can press F3 and then F8 while in your game to turn ovff water volume, the water surface and fog. Once you do that, your Cyclops will seem more like an aircraft and you will feel like you are floating above land. Just a thought.

There are fears and then there are phobias. You can get over your fears by exposing yourself to them because - as you've just said - people are afraid of what they do not understand. A phobia is different; it is a psychological condition caused by some form of trauma that the person may or may not be aware of or conscious of. There are a number of ways you can treat it but because it is caused by something the sensation of whatever caused the trauma can be triggered by the same perception of the environment the trauma took place in. As long as the trauma itself is still connected to the environment it took place in, you won't get anywhere through exposure alone. It needs to be done alongside finding the root cause of the trauma. So it can be a big deal.
