    I'll never forget the feeling of beating Subnautica. Seeing and hearing all that was said and done.. felt pure adrenaline, eyes watered, covered in goosebumps. And when she said that last line and looked down at the frozen cap on 4546B... dude.. Best ending to a game ever.

      I have to agree with you. I truly felt the same way. The Sea Emperor really marked me, and is one of the reasons i will prefer Subnautica 1 to Subnautica 2, even if i'm really grateful they made a sequel

    • @marcussensabaugh1505
      @marcussensabaugh1505 Рік тому +1

      @Bashteur the actual bombed. They literally changed the ENTIRE story at the last second. From beginning to end they changed a bunch of it. Like the rocket. It'd no longer a rocket, just a comms array. The fact that they removed the seamoth made me not wanna play it.

    Aaaaalriiight, let's just all agree on 1 thing - this video needs more attention. Its detailing is just on another level, it looks so good. Also I've seen a few comments from subnautica YTubers, and I'm very happy about it (even tho it's not my video)

    Honestly, this proves that with the right people, decent budget and time a blockbuster Subnautica feature fil could be made at some point in the future. If anyone anywhere near as talented as the people that made this are behind it, we'd be in for a treat
    P.S this is way better than Paramount's Halo series that had a budget of over 80 million.

    thinking about this, if the main character explored every last lifepod, he might have seen the last words of his brother which makes it even sadder
