Ever wonder if you're playing TOO much Subnautica (or how you know you're playing it too much)?

When you wake up from a dream where you were having afternoon tea and croissants with a Sandshark, Reef Stalker, Crabsquid and the Reaper Leviathan while discussing the current state of the game, I think you'll be wondering too...

So when do you realize when you're playing Subnautica too much? :)

    Oh dear. Don't burn out before it even releases! I've been doing other stuff, waiting on the next stable update after Prawn.

    I tried to take a break too, but Subnautica pulled me back in ;v;

    Pretty much this. I hardly get bored of Subnautica to the point where I get burnt out. I just get weird dreams like that when I enjoy a game way too much... like with Minecraft and Star Trek Online (thought that's more about the story and less about exploration)...

    Whenever I do feel burned out, I just start a new game. For some reason, that early to midgame portion never really gets old for me, and tends to be my more enjoyable portion in SA's current state. I like looking down into the Blood Kelp trench and realizing I can't go down there since my seamoth is still stuck at 200 meters max. I like going into the Kelp Forests to search for materials and take pictures while dodging Stalkers. Eventually I work my way up to the Cyclops and start hunting resources in the Dunes and Mountains, and now I've got the ILZ to explore.

    Once I feel I've seen and done everything, I restart and the cycle continues. I do kind of wish that the area outside the playable map had a hint of the randomized world that SA originally was going with though. It wouldn't even need to be perfect either. Could be its own biome too, a randomized 'abyssal plains' or something, that could get away with looking rough and bleak, but still provide that "don't know what to expect" feel to it, and eventually giving way to a point where the environment is too lethal to continue, even in the Cyclops and Exosuit.

    I recently dreamed I was exploring the Lost River while the crones theme from Witcher 3 was playing. That was weird. And creepy.

    Just had a dream about the end of the game. It was awesome. But weird.

    I've had that too... except I'd come home to a day off and see the rising sun to a work day (happens very rarely nowadays but happened quite a bit when I was younger)...

    Too much Subnautica? Heresy! Blasphemy!

    You can never play too much of this amazing game, not even if your therapist says so! :wink:

    So I dozed off at work for a minute or three and had one heck of a nightmare. A company called Tiertex announces in the dream that they're going to port Subnautica to the PS4.

    Gotta stop watching Stuart Ashen's videos...
