something a bone in fact a bone that i have to pick with subnautica's developers unknown worlds entertainment dear unknown worlds entertainment hi it's me austin nope austin no go home we've talked about this you can't keep interrupting my recordings sorry about that where was i um oh yeah unknown worlds entertainment as amazing as your ocean planeted subnautica is did you really expect everything to be fine when a massive spacecraft crashes in from orbit for those of you who have no idea what i'm talking about back in NUMBER_TOKEN the world was stunned by an early access game called subnautica an open world survival action adventure game i wish i was just making that genre up but it is literally pulled from their wikipedia page it's like they used a random word generator for their game description regardless what was impressive about this game was that it took place primarily in the ocean of a far off alien planet now a game built as one big water level is going to be a tall order i've played through enough sonic and water temples in my day to know that water plus the video games equals big suckage but subnautica is anything but that this game plays like a dream and is absolutely gorgeous the spectacular water graphics the colorful plant life the wonderfully creative creatures when they're not trying to eat your face off the game even has a bit of story the ship we're on the aurora crash lands on an alien planet with us as the only survivor we try to piece together what happened use scraps from the wreckage to survive and ultimately escape you know your usual survival tropes but of course it wouldn't really be complete without some kind of human saves the alien storyline while on the planet we learn of an incurable and deadly disease which was being studied by other hyper-advanced alien life-forms called architects well before we got there this disease actually wiped out the architects and it's predicted that the same would happen to the whole planet if a cure wasn't found but in we fly with our crash-landing ship a non-essential systems maintenance chief from earth and of course we figure it all out within a couple days saving an almost extinct species that were key to the planet's long-term survival suck on that super advanced alien species we solved your problem in a couple days humans humans it's a good thing we have to crash land there right guys or is it see there's something that's always bugged me about subnautica something that's never really addressed in the game and that's our impact on the planet's ecosystem sure we stopped a deadly disease but have we caused more harm than good just by being here i believe in actuality we might have doomed this planet even before we set foot out of our life pod we're talking about the aurora the crash and the devastation left in our wake wake it's the waves that follow your boat these puns are not going to get any better as this episode goes on i can promise you that spoiler alert for the episode a spoiler alert for the channel they do not get better we wake up on this alien planet and see that our ship the aurora has already crashed there's a massive trench where it initially impacted the water is dusky and sandy and there's no natural flora in the surrounding area so far this all seems pretty accurate on the
