... then the title of your thread should be "game is possibly boring", no? Because yeah, there is more than the basics. Which you would know if you played more than three hours. There is simply no way you did "most of those things" so that's obviously false.

Subnautica is a game of grand exploration and discovery. If you get frustrated because that's just swimming to you then swim along, shallow boy.

@Flower Boy, mate you really haven't given the game a fair go.

I was gifted this game, a while back, and on my 1st playthrough I wasn't very impressed. Recent playthroughs are proving to be both challenging and fun.

Man, I can't understand how you could find this game boring in the first few hours in 'survival mode'. Hint,hint!

Mhm, i didnt' check his play time judging from his original post.

Given his 3.3 hours playtime, i venture he wasn't deeper than 600-900 meters yet.

I am waiting for discount and then i maybe will buy this game

whats the max depth youve gone?, did you build the mech? has you seen the Viod? been to the Lava zone? cured your self? unless you used cheats or your a ultra speed runner then you've not seen everything.

♥♥♥♥♥ I have 13 hours in the game. Played for the first time a week ago. Went in the game blind without wiki and yt tutorials. I have never been deeper than 250m. XD

Even without discount it is worth it.

True, but that's the mark of an early access game that is not 100% feature complete yet. But you can finish the story to 90% already, only the last bit of leaving the planet is missing.

Anyway, the full release is supposed to be due end of this month.

Wait, this is the full game besides the ending? Wow, yeah it's not for me. It's very shallow to be honest.

you callin subnautica shallow? just WAIT till you get a submarine and can explore the SERIOUSLY deep caves right underneath the safe shallows...

THAT IS WHERE SH*T GETS REAL.

THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL ENJOY THE GAME MORE.

THAT IS WHERE HUGE CREATURES LIVE...

All ya need to do is scan submarine blueprints. build a submarine. build some depth modules and put them in a sub. and then you can go that deep. ;P

Seems you don't own the game, or have refunded it. You seem to have only scratched the surface of what is there. Hopefully you will dive back in as you may have missed an intricate detailed story.

DONT MISS OUT ON THIS GAME!! TRUST ME IT GETS BETTER AS YOU PROGRESS THROUGH THE STORY

Wonders what would happen if people made a trillionth of a % as much fuss ov demanding older games that people paid good money for now have half their inventory not working due to windows fng 10 due to a forced emergency new computer buyt, I bet "backward compatability" would work as it truly should, but instead you come in and bust on a game you don't like, don't play it and move on?

As you can see, I've poured almost 80 hours into this game, and honestly only in my recent playthrough have I really DONE anything. I was too scared in past playthroughs, and honestly I'm still scared of this game, haven't finished it, and only recently have I gone DEEP.

But once I did build up the courage to actually explore and brave the sea, I discovered a lot. I carefully collected all the PDAs I could before going down (I missed Lifepod 4 and I never went to the Deep Grand Reef, though I very well might head back for those), and what was a a unique survival game became, to me, a game about human desperation and loneliness. You're stuck, alone, on this planet, with only the voice recordings of your past crew and friends. You experience the story of the doomed Degasi survivors, with no company but your robotic AI and some fish.

Now, I naturally get really emotionally invested in the plotlines of games, but isn't that what it's about? To me, the whole point of a singleplayer game is to experience it, to put yourself in the scenario, and to find something out about yourself.

So.. Yes. There is more, you just have to be patient and find it.

Yah OP's got literally thousands of hours in games I've never even considered playing. Not everyone's looking for a pew pew pew game. To each his own. But at least the OP was kind enough to share his considered opinion with us.

Sorry but you can't really get a sense for what the game has to offer in 3 hours. Not if played "correctly." At least IMO. Hey if it's not for you move and stop posting nonsense just to troll.

It's not trolling, I'm just asking if there is anything besides swimming and building

thats like saying si there anything in minecraft besides walking and building.

it's just a game with the water topic whre you mostyl swim and build, but also explore the world to follow it's not too obvious presented story.

and theres an island to walk on :P

The game is what you make it. If the game is boring, it's because you are boring.
