Whereas having a definite compass is actually much much more convenient in my view. Playing without a map is perhaps the first time a big challenge, but after playing the game a dozen times or so, it really doesn't matter much anymore. In later playthroughs I have used the map mod, but I also sometimes re-play without using it.

Though I have always had one major problem with Subnautica: the lack of a map. Subnautica is such a lovely, colorful, creative game, it made me love gaming again.

Duke Nukem 3d was quite funny and colorful, which was actually the exception. Even though I played those back in the days, I always wondered why there wasn't more fun in gaming. But games like Doom and Quake and clones were all just grim, dark, filled with demons and enemies and everything. It was static screens with static movement. There were some funny games like the older Lucas Arts adventure games, but those didn't have a lot of movement. I just don't understand why the gaming industry has been dominated by games like Doom for so long. MY GOD, it's just pure genius, pure enjoyment and pure gaming excellence. But then I decided for some reason to check out Subnautica. Though I did not refund those, I didn't finish them or I used some cheats to be doen asap. A few other games I was like: ok, that's quite creative. I tried a few games, one really expensive AAA title, which I refunded in just 30mins.

And even though I didn't want to go playing games again, I decided to just try out a few, to see how my pc was doing and to also to test its limits. But then I decided to throw in a fairly good graphics card and, BLAMMO! I had a very good gaming pc, built by myself. I mainly do photography editing, so it was again a pc built mainly for work. Also this shop had gone bankrupt and I didn't like any ready-made options, so I had to make my own. But now in 2019 I just built one for fun. So even though I was a dedicated gamer way way back, I had never built my on pc. In the older times I used to buy custom built gaming pc's from a local shop which I know was doing a very good job. And I have other hobbies, you know, like reading, mainly.Īnyway, then in 2019 my old work-horse pc broke down, so I decided to build a new pc. And it didn't look as if things would get any better. It was all commercial, console-port drivel. And also, not sure if it was me or the gaming industry, but there was a phase when not one single game could catch my attention. First game I remember playing had just 4 lines on it or something, two to define a road, one to define the horizon and another one just for the heck of it.īut I stopped playing games around 2010-2012 or so, because I started feeling too old. Those text rpg's were actually quite good sometimes. In the beginning it was a combination of text and graphics mainly. I am a veteran gamer from the days of first pc games, even before doom etc. Just some personal rant first, read on if you like this kind of stuff, otherwise skip it completely or go take a look further down when I get back to topic.
