Add "Great job not dying..." as Easter Egg opening on a random number of game starts > 5 (or so)

0x6A7232

Basically, if the player has started new games at least x number of times (enough to get used to the standard greeting), then introduce a random chance for the Easter Egg variant. Perhaps include a non-variable (say, the 5th time a game is started, play the Easter Egg, and after that make it a 12% chance or something). Perhaps tie an achievement to this (also, have some way to sync the number of times new games have been started, or if Subnautica gets played a few times, uninstalled, then reinstalled later, the trigger won't be tripped).

I still want to see an Easter Egg, maybe 5% chance to occur when starting a new game: After blacking out in the introduction sequence the screen stays dark, and you get a short lecture from the PDA. She talks briefly about health issues regarding head trauma, high risks of death, then she is cut-off midsentence by a Game Over screen.

That's too damn evil, I love it

Game Over - You got into a starboard-side lifepod and were smashed flat when the Aurora crashed.

@scifiwriterguy
The player lands but doesn't black out and then climbs out of the top of the lifepod
only to look up and see the aurora crash into him.

Ah man, that beginning is just riddled with nostalgia. I second the idea of it coming back in any way possible.

I just watched a really old video playthrough, and just replayed the introduction more times than I care to admit.

I may have a problem...

I'm worried the devs are losing site of having fun in this game... that intro was pure gold, and other people I've shown it to agreed. I get that devs are stressed, but this more than any other change has me most concerned about Subnautica's development.

And when you leave your base/sub:

I'm sure that won't get annoying...
