Like the Space Thread but water. Oceans, boats, piracy, fish, tropics, any games with such topics are fair game to be discussed here. Played any games relating to this lately? What upcoming ocean games are you looking forward to? Tropico 6 and Subnautica are releasing soon, what do you think of them?
Last time we had this thread it went pretty well, thought I'd bring it back

A harpoon fisherman having his catches stolen by other fish. If this is confusing to you, you're either mentally disabled or an AI trying to parse video content. The latter is actually more likely, but only barely.

Four I'd personally say is the best. It's basically just an updated version of 3, and 5 is meh, casualized a bit, and smaller. I haven't played 1 and 2 yet and it's not really talked about so I can't say anything on their quality.

I haven't played any pirate MMO but there are some single player games with that sorta style. Sid Meier's Pirates is sorta close, but a bit basic and may leave something to be desired. Maybe Age of Pirates/Sea Dogs series might be closer to that but I'm not personally familiar with them.

Again, this build was from just a month ago. Given that I still find bugs from ages ago in the latest builds, I highly doubt the Subnautica devs are going to be able to put out a game that's not riddled with game breaking or just infuriating bugs.

That's a good point. Even with all the tech and farming to streamline eating and drinking, it's still WAY too demanding. It should decrease at a much slower rate in the first place, and any good survival game should start phasing out the basic survival stuff once you reach deeper into the mechanics. Plate spinning is part of the fun of survival, but not if the task is just petty annoyance.

I was hoping for a more serious/slightly harder sci fi take on the alien ocean, with more care placed into the designs of the ayy lmaos and their lore. Instead of just "shark with 3 eyes" and "sea dragon". Look at some of the early Subnautica concept art, the ones at the bottom by Pat Presley.

I was mainly referring to the very last line of art, the black and white. I didn't realize until shortly after they were all done by Pat, my bad. I was just hoping for a more alien and "played straight" underwater game, I wasn't too happy they took it in a more cartoonish art direction. And stuff like the fire breathing sea dragon is silly. I would've loved if they tried to make the wildlife more grounded, with more attention paid to how the animal would work, how it'd behave, how it evolved and what its related to, and so on, as opposed to making an alien fish that looks cool.
Also it bugs me that they picked the absolute most bland names for all the fish in the game. The pirahna fish are called Biters, the shark that lives in the sand is called a Sand Shark, they could've done much more there alone.

We started playing around v4.0 and stopped sometime around v5.3. There have been two major updates since, and it looks like that includes a fuckload of content and netcode updates.
Looking through the changelog, these
>a new enemy
>proper authoritative servers (i.e. much more more hack-proof)
>having multiple submarines with the same name (but different MD5 hash) in the submarine folder doesn't prevent clients from loading the correct one
>Added salvage mission variants where the artifact is spawned inside a cave.
make looking at the game again more than worth it. I don't know if we can rally the same amount of attention to the game as we did before, but it'd probably definitely be fun.
