>We've evolved past eating meat, but if you want to do it for survival then go ahead
>We've evolved past using weapons, so the only lethal weapon you're allowed is a knife
Is it okay to shoehorn in some fantasy that veganism and pacifism are more civilized and "evolved" when the game is otherwise good?
devs can make their game be about whatever they want
when you start telling people what kind of games theyre allowed to make, you become the SJW that Sup Forums so adamantly hates
I don't know. Is it ok the endlessly shitpost in SOMA threads because you can't handle two games being set in the ocean?
>is fantasy okay
Yes?
Neither of those things is true though. The company manufactures weapons, and meat is still on the menu.
You will never be pleased.
They're right you know, in the future we'll have replaced all kinds of meat with flavored soy, and the only reason to kill an animal will be pure sadism
as much as this thread is trying to gun up shitposts, on a similar topic, theres a novel by arthur c clarke called 'the deep range' and it's about whale farming to feed the human population, slowly being overtaken by algae farming due to a global buddhist movement.
but it has lots of subnautica bits, because the whale shephards protect their flocks of whales, and some start going missing in this 3000-meter deep trench and they go down in midget subs to find out why
>We've evolved past using weapons, so the only lethal weapon you're allowed is a knife
They never fucking say this, They only specify that weapons were removed from fabricators
Which honestly seems kinda reasonable? I'm not big on the hamhanded gun control allegory, but it makes sense a corporation wouldn't want its employees to just be able to 3D print guns whenever they wanted on the job, odds are any situations that require lethal force would be delegated to trained guards.
fpbp
SOMA came out back in 2015, what the fuck are you talking about?
I actually agree with this.
wrong
literally the first fish you cook, your AI gf starts goin on about how people who've subsisted on nutrition bars their whole lives would probably think eating animals is wrong, but perfectly acceptable in survival situations.
take your statements ending in question marks and general tumblr faggotry somewhere else
are you being retarded on purpose, or?
Does Subnautica inadvertently encourage gun rights and ownership by showing the player the consequences of gun grabbing?
Evolving past the need to eat meat or use weaponry is fantasy, which is what this game is.
Far enough into the future, nutritional fabricated bars are probably balanced with all the vitamins a growing boy needs. How can animals compete?
Plus there's the dystopian vibe where every aspect of your lives is owned by Alterra, so food being bad fits the big picture.
Fucking this
fpbp
>It is common for those accustomed to synthetic foods to be repulsed by eating an animal carcass.
>Remember that humans have survived this way for millenia, you can too.
Stupid anime shitposter.
You could look at it in a more dystopian light, where people aren't allowed to have a variety of fresh food in the future and are instead given the same nutrient bar every day.
Also this, some of the logs you find people are struggling with basic survival skills as simple things such as how to hunt because those things "have gone out of fashion".
Stories are what you make it. If you want to piss yourself over how everything is propaganda, go for it. If you want to take the universe for what it is, a fantasy, then you can sit back and interpret it how you see fit.
Hey thanks user, that sounds pretty cool. I'll try to look up a copy. Sci-fi is my jam, been reading through the 2007 Dozois best of short SF collection recently that I found in storage.
We have that, it's called Soylent, I like it
But more than half the people I've had conversations with about it say something like "oh man I can't imagine eating the same thing all the time day in and day out"
>Fantasy veganism
But that is actually where we are heading. In a hundred maybe 200 years we will primarily eat things that contain exact nutrition, and will consume soy based product rather than meat since soy is easy to grow and doesn't pollute
>hostile wildlife
>we've evolved past needing guns
Do you you guys know that they started putting guns on Russian Space capsules because one landed and the crew got eaten by wolves?
Why would I want a piddly gun when I can launch exploding fish with a handheld tractor beam?
In a hundred, maybe 200 years, we will be chiefly eating each other. And whatever else has the cunning to survive.
...
I don't own subnautica but it's on my wish list for this summer sale. How's the mod work coming along for it? Is the modding scene alive for Subnautica?
Then further into the future they'll have something even more nutritious. But yeah, subsisting on one thing will wear on you. Plus I sincerely doubt it's that good for you.
thats one of the most russian things I've ever heard
>We've evolved past using weapons
If you bothered to play the game, you'd realize the in-game reason is "Ever since a slaughtering on some place, we don't put weaponry, excluding the survival Knife, in the blueprint systems anywhere on our transport vessels."
It's not pacifism, it's literally "Fuckers didn't give me any." Although in my opinion, there should be at least 1 gun somewhere left behind by the alien race before they all died.
For starters, their ship were never heading to that planet, crashing there was incidental. Second, you just made that up.
I mean that's kind of a 'story-telling' (game-play?) element. Imagine a version of your char's society where he crash lands and just has access to the BFG.
You're pretty much fucked BECAUSE you have no real weapon.
Faggotry, while it should remain legal, should also at the very least be heavily taxed to discourage it and to ensure society has a possible venue to recoup the cost the destruction to society that it causes.
Yeah but Russia is a shithole populated by people who make niggers seem reasonable
This isn't "Society has banned guns"
This is "A workplace has banned guns"
Whatever way they justified it ingame, it's clear that the actual out-of-game they did it is because they're anti-gun. Politics in video games is pathetic.
How does it destroy society?
An excerpt from the Aurora's menu
>STARTER - Space Bear Veloute
>Since their introduction to the interstellar vacuum in the 21st century, microscopic tardigrades (or space bears) have adapted and flourished where no other lifeforms have survived. Condensed into a smooth, nutty, protein-rich soup, they are the freshest local ingredient available to travellers on long-haul space flights.
>MAIN - Cottage Pie OR Nutrient Block
>Rehydrated minced beef in its own gravy, served with a topping of mashed chinese potato (picked fresh this morning from onboard growbeds), and a side of sauteed chinese potato plant leaves. For the time-conscious consumer, the usual nutrient block options are available. They may be consumed cold, or reconstituted at the on-site fabricator.
>but perfectly acceptable in survival situations.
I eat to survive even though food is plentiful. I choose to eat meat. This reasoning is bogus.
Nothing in life should matter but your own happiness and possibly the happiness if those close to you. S
Unironically ruined the entire game for me. Talk about not getting what Subnautica is all about, being a fucking man and surviving in the wild. I don't need a game telling me how I'm supposed to feel about shit.
>You have defeated Ridley! You feel deep depression at the loss of alien life!
One dev out of 20 said that. The rest meanwhile put in many far more fun ways to kill shit. If you want a game with a gun and to mow down all other living things play Resident Evil or something.
Aren't space bears microscopic?
A survival game where you have a gun to kill any potential threat is, crazy as it may seem, not as exciting, from a survival aspect. A 'scary' deep sea creature becomes far less scary when the answer is just 'shoot it'.
Just as a horror game where you have a gun loses some of the helplessness and 'horror'.
Holy shit this, I don't know if the anti-SJW guys purposely ignore this or if they're just that god damn stupid. Wanting games to adapt to your ideals is exactly what you're supposedly against for.
I agree with you regarding horror game design but what you said doesn't refute his point at all.
Well, yeah. Microorganism soup is still meat, though. That and the Shepherd's Pie.
Go change your diaper
This!!! Yass sisters #slayyy the anti-SJWs
Yes, and they're water bears, not space bears. The "can survive nearly anything" part is true, though, send one into space and it can live for nearly two weeks in the vacuum.
His point is retarded and regardless of their reasoning for doing it the game benefited.
Refutes it perfectly. Subnautica is not a game about shootiong shit, so it doesn't need guns. How ytou faggots are so unable to understand this not even God can fathom.
If your culture is destroyed by pride parades it was a weak culture that deserved it.
Veganism and being a pasifist isn't more civilized, moral sure civilized no.
>We've evolved past eating meat, but if you want to do it for survival then go ahead
They don't say this at all, it's more to the effect of "suck it up and eat the meat, your ancestors did it it's not going to kill you". Everything about Alterra paints it as a satire of a corporate shithole with a smiley face logo. The bit about weapons is the same way, they use a bullshit friendly excuse because they don't want their employees being a liability. If you actually played the game and stopped making things up to get angry about you'd know.
The games benefits from not having guns and suffers from having a ham-fisted political message. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Don't forget to check under your bed.
Many sci-fi scenarios suggest a future where a space-faring humanity has to fully switch to man made, artificial food stuffs simply to meet the demand.
And when that becomes the norm, for long enough, people in this world who know nothing other than such artificial foods will find anything else strange.
There's a Moebius comic in which two future people find themselves stranded on an Edenic paradise world of nature and bounty, and find it annoying and disgusting, because of how unclean it is, and almost choose to die before eating an apple because their bodies are simply not used to natural organic matter.
>Wanting a bar of nuts and oats
>not wanting smoked bbq or lemon pepper wet.
Please stop talking, meat on an open fire with sweet sauce bbq sauce and lemon pepper is God tier.
What ham-fisted message? Someone one dev out of 20 said two years or so ago? Who cares, get over it already. It's like you people need to make yourselves angry at stupid shit at least three times a day in order to not die.
According to the ingame lore: There was too many mass shootings so they banned weapons other than a knife from being made in the fabricator.
>There's a Moebius comic in which two future people find themselves stranded on an Edenic paradise world of nature and bounty, and find it annoying and disgusting, because of how unclean it is, and almost choose to die before eating an apple because their bodies are simply not used to natural organic matter.
sounds like americans who got lost on the way to the mcdonalds
>expecting the average Sup Forumsirgin to understand nuance.
>It is your primary directive to swim closer to that beautiful creature... Swim closer... Swim closer now...
>It looks so friendly
So do you think meat is like crack in the future? Where they have beef-dens and people shoot each other over fresh hamburgers?
Hahahahha
I'm not convinced the rest of the UWE-universe is like Demolition Man.
wtf I like being a caveman now
>some of the logs you find people are struggling with basic survival skills as simple things such as how to hunt because those things "have gone out of fashion".
This is a story in a book but I completely forget what it was.
Some thing about how everything bad is gone and the kid needs to feel it.
I dunno but user makes a good point.
Thanks cancelled this on my wishlist after hearing it's pussified nonsense
Fuck this game, all you do is collect shit. Just like Mincraft, Terraria and all that other constantly shilled garbage.
It was supposed to be Deep Sea: The Game. Going underwater was supposed to be dangerous. You know a game where going underwater was actually dangerous? Monster Hunter Tri.
underrated.
>he actually used guns on a RE play though.
Wow Sup Forums wow.
>when your post doesn't get any (you)s so you reply to yourself, like a child sucking his thumb in lieu of a tit
lol.............
>Tutorial: the Game
>Dangerous
Take your (you) and go, weeb
And that one dev is why I refuse to buy the game. You have free speech but not freedom from consequences.
Ty for posting this friend. Sup Forums has become the very thing they claim to hate.
...
In a severely overpopulated world conventional agriculture will be impossible due to lack of space and resources.
If anything they will "grow" meat using biological fabricators. They're already have some of the tech for it now.
Or they'll just mash bugs into protein bars.
i want everyone to take a step back for a second and realize someone spent time making this.
Look up the TP-82
el goblino....
Space China doesn't do that, apparently, hence the Chinese Potato
Why should I?
Yeah I spent about 20 minutes making it. Your point?
fpbp
>im gonna read all that
You must be really obsessed to have even saved this in the first place
And how does not being able to shoot fish in a video game affect your real life in any way whatsoever, autist?
Why are Wojak posters so tenacious about their cancer?
This but it's still open to criticism.
Because no one else would acknowledge their existence otherwise.
Because pushing communist politics in media takes us closer to living in a totalitarian dystopian state.
Soyboys have no idea that they are the useful idiots that are pushing for their own slavery.
>A reasonable post managed to slide into post #1
The game clearly mocks Alterran society. It's a satire of where society might develop to if driven by the large corporations of today. The relationship logs on the ship should make that plenty fucking clear.
Does the truth bother you?
I am not him. You are living in a delusion. Seek help. I am just thinking what made you actually put forth the effort to shitpost like that you paranoid twat.
