APEX PREDATOR

[RetroRun]

So, who is the apex predator of this planet...........

Is it the terrifying Reaper......
is it the Ghost of the ocean...
or is it the humongous SeaDragon...

Nope, not anyone on that list...
It is the small, fragile, lone human, with Stasis Rifle and Thermoblade.

When you get your gadgets nothing can scare you in this planet, at first I was scared to even venture near the Reaper infested zones, but now I already cleared the mountains of its four Reaper Leviathan and in the process of clearing out the crash zone already two down. Now the reapers seem like a joke.

Even when I only had the seamoth, going near the Reaper to poke it was fun, because it will only chase you for few seconds then completely forget about you, this severely reduces the fear-factor, upon which the total hype of the Reapers is built on.

My opinion ---> The Reapers should be changed from a territorial type to a chase,evade and nocturnal type monster that will chase and try to eat the player if the player has, unfortunately, came into its view or hunting ground. Some Reapers should also roam the ocean and not particular biomes.

Note that "apex predator" doesn't necessarily mean you're a steel-toothed blood-lusted killing machine

Ain't Reaper just that

Yes, but by definition the Reaper isn't an apex predator. So there you go.

Hey some of us are enjoying the game for the first time. Its challenging and full of suprizes. So just because you have solved the puzle and are power gaming doesnt mean you need to tell the developers to over react and make the game too tough. Just so die hards can feel accoplished.

Cheers from a relaxed casual gamer

Degasi logs does say that humans adapt like a muthafka.

But I do see the joke in slashing an 18 wheeler truck to death with a 4 inch blade.

The datalog in the PDA will disagree with you.

And it's a very funny joke

Later datalogs reveal that the Sea Dragon leviathan hunts, kills and eats the Reapers. Ergo, not an apex predator.

Yeah, It's still you because apex predators don't get electrocuted for biting down on something smaller than them.

But you also sort of need that to actually have a working video game that isn't a lazy 'It's a rougelike, that means we dont' need to balance content!' shovelware.

Otherwise your sort of thinking results in "Warpers should be able to teleport inside your base and attack you there." type of gameplay.

Well... Again, "apex predator" only means that there's nothing that preys on you. Lions are apex predators because there are no other predators that includes lions as part of their natural prey. Lions still avoid eating porcupines, because trying to eat a porcupine hurts.

That as much as anything is a shortcoming of the mechanics. "Allright, a whole shark to eat! I don't need to eat five melons in a row like a pig!... Oh I'm not allowed to eat sharks? okay then, back to eating peepers three at a time I guess."

It would feel less wasteful fending off the predators who have their unleashing AI break and keep coming back after me after five nonlethal repulsion gun sendoffs, if they left more than a janky corpse.

You see, the real reason for this is that even on 4546B, disco never dies.
