I send my premature thanks to all Early Access gamers that trawl through a buggy, unfinished product only so I can play the full thing once it's finished.
I couldn't resist any longer so I fired up this game and 4h in it's definately scratching that itch, allthough missing some of the wonder of the first game, of course, since its similar.
But I'm stopping myself right now, because they're supposed to finish the game in the next month or so. At least I know I'll enjoy it again.
It is already very much playable and I didn't encounter any bugs either
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
I looked on their page, their forums etc. and there's no mention of a final release date beyond 2020. They're working on console ports as well (ie. ported from PC thankfully).
That was for Early Access a year ago. I did a search on the steam page and nowhere does it say 2020 except at the bottom, (C) 2020 Valve Corporation...
edit: The story is beeing rewritten, its also the reason why it takes longer for the last update.

Meanwhile, ~2 hours ago, the latest review had this in it:
Quote:
I wasn't gonna install this game until the full release but read about the story changes and wanted to see what it's like right now before it's changed.
If they're getting ready for multiple story changes we're not going to see v1.0 anytime soon.

Doh. When I saw EA I instantly thought of "Electronic Arts" since that's their brand. I never considered it was short for Early Access. This forum is full of abbreviations I don't understand at times.

Indeed, there were some pretty substantial changes back in November when the writer responsible for Subnautica's story and lore left and was replaced by Jill Murray (Shadow of the Tomb Rambo, ACIV - not a good sign ), which led to scrapping the old storyline and rewriting a new one.

They've finally added the rebooted story, so the final release shouldn't be too far away (on paper):
I'm not really a fan of the new narrative style and exposition though if you know what I mean, I hope it's just a feeling and not another sad trombone in disguise.

I really don't want to spoiler myself on this game so I'm not watching any videos. But I'd rather there was only minimal narrative and more discovery.

Release it already, or are they waiting for winter like a Winter game.
Yes, winter 2022...
But seriously, most likely won't happen this year. Hopefully January next year.
Me too won't touch this or see anything about it until it gets 1.0. Was so glad and pleasantly surprised with the first game when I did that tho this time I have some knowledge what this one is about,

Seems very different, yeah. On the other hand, first one didn't have any talking/alive humans. Perhaps it'll make the world feel a bit less 'lonely'?
I could've lived without seeing your own character in cutscenes and hearing her ( ) talking, though.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
So instead of epxanding on what made Subnautica such an amazing game, they decide do expand on the story.
But who knows, maybe the last update will bring the needed changes.

But thats what happened. They created more surface areas instead.
