Sea monster ?

[Gexku]

Well this is just an idea, but i think it would be pretty awesome to add a sea monster, like a really big and creepy one. Even tough i'm already freaked out by the deep, a sea monster would make it even better. Who's with me ?

Imagine you just spawn and see a giant kraken fighting with a whale

I don't really get the argument of it not being "realistic". Real life sharks don't attack people that viciously, so it's not like the game is trying to be realistic.

A giant squid in the water would be so awesome, even if it were unrealistic.

It does try to be "realistic", but it's still a game so there are limits ... just because the days don't last 24h, Sharks attack people sometimes etc ... doesn't mean we need a Kraken fighting a Killer-whale, while you have to escape on a Unicorn ...

I just don't really get the point of limiting what should be in a game because of "realism". I'm not saying we have a bunch of zombies and unicorns, but a giant squid or megalodon would be scary, and not completely ruin immersion.

Well for one ... there is a lot of "real" stuff / dangers / sealife to add first ... so you don't need to "limit" anything, I'd rather use the word "focus" & I'd rather see Jellyfish than a Megalodon i.E.

Considering the ocean is not that deep in the game anyway (at least the visible part), it would definitely ruin immersion for me ... and once you get to a certain depth you can't see anything, anyway ... so what's the point ... if you want Sea Monsters in 10,000 ft depth, sure be my guest ...

PS : Speaking about "freaking out" & "being afraid" ... I'd be totally freaked out by a swarm of Jellyfish, my first reaction to a Megalodon would be "Laughter", though ...

You asked

I answered No.

Should I perhaps have embellished my response with.

"No. I am not with you. Sea monsters would be entirely inappropriate to a game where "realism" is being artfully applied and having fanciful sea monsters not normally found in such relatively realistic circumstances..... would be a %$#*&^STUPID IDEA!!!.... Thus, with all the appropriate decorum I can muster (whilst maintaining respect for your most esteemed self of course), I bid you farewell as I respectfully decline your most good offer and wish you well in your endeavours. Thank you." :)

I'd trade two megalodon for the ability to lash two rafts together, I'd trade them and a jellyfish swarm to be able to craft a useful box...

Every nay sayer is going for the ultra realistic side. If you want realism go get yourself stranded with a go pro. Adding sea monsters or some haunted ship would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool, every sailor or islander has their lore or legends and it wouldnt be a bad idea to make some of those a reality. Because basic sea creatures only get scary to a certain extent. I mean seriously, youre in your raft after sun down and you see a Megaladon, are you seriously going to put the game down because you saw something, "unrealistic," I sure hope not. Because youre playing a video game, adding a little horror to this title wouldnt be too terrible... Also with the fact that we have explored Mars more than our own ocean, and the fact we find so called: "exinct," sea creatures from time to time I dont think its too much to ask for something like this seeing how its not our world... Its the world of Joe Shmoe drinking a martini in his private plane.

These tales would be great If there was a sanity system.

It is not about being ultra realistic, in this case it is about keeping the game what it is trying to become. A survival game, not a horror game, not a Battlefield...

Everyone who wants the same stuff, which already exists in bazillions of other Survival Games, why not play those instead ... there are maybe ~2 "Survival" - Games out there, aiming for "realism", please please pretty please, can't we have at least those 2 (this one included) ...

-> but nvm, unless the DEV's completely change their mind about their game concept, we probably can ...

What he said ... just because "MS Flight Simulator" doesn't turn you into a Jet Pilot over night, doesn't mean every game needs to be "Tom Clancys HAWX" ... there is a reason why "Simulators" exist, some people enjoy them, without doing "the real thing" for various reasons ...

This would make sense, if this would be "Jacques Cousteau Online" or something ... focussing on Deep-Sea Exploration ... but we're talking about an ingame Ocean which is ~100 ft deep (Giant Squid i.E. would be ~50 ft, poor Squid can't even swim up & down) ...

There is already an UFO in the game, and I have no problem with that ... so I'm not against "funny" Easter Eggs, as long as they "fit" into the game ... how about a compromise, a Megalodon-Skeleton :P ...

Tough i was joking i totally understant that you're not with me about that

But still
"no" is not a correct answer, "not me" would've been

It sure is. She answered no before and took the freedom to repeat her answer, quoting her previous one. Got it? ;)
