I gotta say, this game takes multiple steps backwards from the last Endless Ocean game. No interactivity with creatures, no shore life, no aquarium mode, and it just feels like a great big slot machine and an absolute drag across the floor seeing that you have to explore 80% of a procedurally generated map to find a UML that you probably already found before.
30:04 - Eyy, I know that living spear! Nice to see him return! 38:30 - I _thought_ I saw that fucker in the trailer! Not nearly as nice to see him... 39:40 - *OH GOD NO.* 😱 46:23 - Ah, the wicked prince himself. Looks like he got a royal makeover! 49:48 - What, er... _hexagonal_ eyes you have, fair Lady... 53:01 - The most somber of whales. I never got a malevolent vibe from him, but I'm no fisherman. 53:34 - And here's his polar opposite! (heehee, "polar") She's a lovely sight. 54:25 - The most vicious of whales! He doesn't seem to mind divers, thankfully. 55:00 - The most mysterious of whales~! Such a beautiful voice... 58:47 - Praise the sun! But keep an eye out for tiger sharks... 1:06:22 - And here's everyone's favorite leatherback! 1:09:23 - Do you suppose we'll ever meet Kraken Sr.? I'm... a bit worried. 1:18:18 - Ooh, yes! I love this spooky lil' guy! 1:32:24 - Congratulations on achieving royalty, Your Majesty! You're looking as fine as ever. 1:46:44 - Aww yeah, we're gettin' prehistoric! 1:47:25 - The most prehistoric of the bunch! What a funky little guy. 1:52:44 - And here's our semi-serpentine friend! Can we get a close-up this time?
Let's give our condolences to all the legends who could've appeared, yet don't: Ailouros Pearl Golden Catfish Mama Cortica Leo Hopefully, new updates add them. We're overdue for some returns. Plus, the UMLs are such letdowns. We could've gotten way more interesting designs than mere 10.
On top of that, some of the UMLs are more like crappy fantasy animals than something that's atleast realistic. That's another problem I have with Luminous, it leans so hard into pseudo scientific fantasy with the Veiled Sea, UMLs, Living Prehistroic Creatures, The World Corals and whatnot that it strays just a bit too far from reality, and in my opinion that's what made the first 2 Endless Oceans so great, it stays for the Large part realistic while still dabbling a bit into fantasy with its Legendary Creatures. (and even then, The Legendary Creatures are still for the Large part fairly realistic in that creatures like them could potentially exist in real life even if the chances of that are low to near zero)
1:48:32 Fun fact about the Hallcigenia: These creatures can't move back or side to side, they can only move forward until all his enemies are destroyed
Another "fun" fact: For a long time, paleontologists were baffled at what appeared to be a bulbous protrusion on one side of the creature's body, and there were heated debates about what this body part was actually for. Then after careful study, it turned out that the "bulb" was actually just an impression, likely left behind by the creature's body fluids during or after death, and that it had a very worm-like tubular body. It's gross, but also kind of hilarious that for over a century, paleontologists had basically done the zoological version of thinking a coffee stain was part of the blueprints.
I recognize some of these creatures from these shows: Tanked The Aquarium Our Planet River Monsters Monster Fish Sea Monsters (the one with Nigel Marven) Walking with Monsters Life on Our Planet
I wish they had a “filtering” option where you can sort them from None (which is Normal), A-Z, Z-A, Real fish only, Fantasy fish only or prehistoric only.
I only played 3 maps, but are they randomly generated like Minecraft? I got the same trench and Thanatos sunken ship but in different locations each save file.
Alright so I gotta ask some advice from the Endless Ocean peeps out there: For someone whose never played an Endless Ocean before and only knows a little bit of it from like, that one game grumps lets play of the first two wii games, is this a good game to get into? I know a lot of fans were dissatisfied by this entry. But as someone with no prior knowledge and experience, is this good? Because I gotta be honest, a game where I explore the ocean in bed while sleep deprived sounds fun, but not if the game itself is flawed for everyone regardless of prior history.
Seriously? They just slapped a crown on a seal and called it a Legendary. I mean, Fishing Master World Tour did almost the same thing with the Princess Trout, but that was just a fun fishing game that you didn't need to take too seriously... which ironically, was also released the same year as Endless Ocean: Blue World. This is Yo-Kai Watch all over again. 🐳
Do you know any tips on finding the variants for the UML creatures? When I look for help the strategy is always vastly different. I can only imagine how rare the spawn rate is
honestly, you need to just hope they show up on UML encounter 2 or 3 during online swims, but you can just roll indefinitely if you do a solo dive i believe the third roll's odds are on every roll after that! it's a little slower than online, but you WILL get the variant after enough tries

This genuinely feels more like a mobile app rather than a full fledged Endless Ocean game
@@diegogarcicruz6134 I agree.
On top of that, most of the creatures look unfinished, graphics-wise. Some more polished textures would do wonders.
@@oddcrafter1270 Seriously.
Its a shame to only the only seal, seabirds, sea horses and sea slug in the game are all UMLs. 😢
I love this game, but I agree. Would have loved to see some jellyfish, comb jellies, mantis shrimp, benthic octopi, tetras, and an axolotl as well.
Oh, and sea angels!
Hopefully we get an update and/or DLC.
@@Bismuth83X I want to see them too

4:02 this is a rainbow wrasse in real life
13:30 specifically that’s a Queensland Grouper
Chromis is a genus of damselfish

@@clawyraptor9029 either that or the UMLs lack any interesting designs.
It's just somewhere in the middle of realism and fantasy.
The golden catfish being absent makes no fucking sense, it is literally just a recolor like many rare variants

You're a smart cookie. (Edit: you forgot titanichthys.) edit #2 = he's already in game, my bad.
At least we have basilosaurus a a UML
1:51:13 Hey, at least they didn’t call it “Sea Serpent” this time!
The Liopleurodon looks like the one from the tv show Walking With Dinosaurs from the 1990s
It's pretty much the exact same model, which is hilarious.
38:50 SHARK POG
I think the sea creatures look really cool in this game
I wish they had a “filtering” option where you can sort them from None (which is Normal), A-Z, Z-A, Real fish only, Fantasy fish only or prehistoric only.
I only played 3 maps, but are they randomly generated like Minecraft? I got the same trench and Thanatos sunken ship but in different locations each save file.
Somewhere near the end, it just looks like the creators made some Spore OC's.
You talk about the sea slug ? If so this is a real specie. The real thing looks exactly like this minus the size.
This is what I have been waiting for since the game was released! Thank you so much! Would you ultimately say the game was worth it?
honestly, it's an alright game, but it's missing a lot of features from the first two

holy ahit i just finished streaming fishing master world tour i didnt realize ppl bought that shit
Is there gonna be a video of the location of every single creature?
Now this is a video.
How I can join a creatures to follows me?
Does anyone have the dive id of the prehistoric creatures as there the only ones i haven't found and am missing
My boy Thanatos let himself go
It’s actually a recycled model from a mobile game by the same devs. They renamed it to Thanatos
@@N8-PTNo it was already named Thanatos in the other game
1:43:36 f i s h

1:36:29 I don’t think Akmonistion and Stethacanthus are the same, they’re separate species
Yeah, Akmonistion lived after Stethacanthus

1:39:28 WTF
1:49:50 Paleontologists will hate this game
I want to see the story of this game.
1:33:57 *DENG’S FISH*
I need variant UMLs😢 how do u get em!?
they are RNG, you will need to keep spawning the UML multiple times at the same dive site and eventually it be a variant
So No Limted Time Creatures??
Will there be more creatures coming soon ?
Is the blobfish in this
How can you restart the game? (just curious)
how do you get the megalodon?
thought it was a rare species that you get for doing all the biometrics task
@@claytonharmon5311 it normally appears in relatively deep waters, i think. it isn't super rare
It appears in the border of deep sea area (were everything is visible.)
Did you play this game in Switch?
Yes
So, how long did it take to complete the log?
about 50 hours
Wait! 50 Hours Phew! You Must So Busy Playing Video Game is My Entire Life!🤯💖🌟🎮🇪🇺🇺🇲🇯🇵
Need to put a timestamp for prehistoric shit 1:32:36
So sad this one isn’t as good as the Wii games they completely stripped out a lot of things I guess it’s a budget title 🫤
I think they put all the budget on the fish and map generation... They should have added 5 maps with a few UML each an done.
Perhaps it's just me, but a lot of the animals seem unfinished from a graphics standpoint. Do they look that way to anyone else?
