I went into my local Tesco and picked this up for six pound the other day as there having a clear out of there gaming section.
I’ve only played about 2 hours worth but have no idea of what the object of the game is,all I seem to be doing is mining materials to improve my ship,do I get to make some mental guns and blow shat up at all ?
Is anybody still playing this, as most reviews I’ve looked at have slated this game, but for six quid I feel I’ve got a bargain .
Anyone else enjoy this game ?

There's a story line, usually a run down little village that is being attacked by one of the more elite monsters, you have to help them fight it off by doing quests to hunt or capture lesser monsters, crafting, acquiring materials, upgrading the village etc before you can finally have a showdown with it... You In mh3 for instance it then turns out it wasn't the lagiacrus causing the earthquakes after all, but an elder dragon trapped underwater, who you then have to destroy. Elder dragons have different mechanics to the lesser beasts, usually requiring the help of scenery (ballistias etc) as well as bashing the feck out of them..
This all then has the bonus of helping you to equip yourself for the online missions where monsters have double the health in each difficulty tier. You get little help in the way of supplies like paintball, traps, food, potions, drinks etc online, so having done the offline story mode helps.

Started playing it after sending that last message, storyline in the new one is that the elder dragons are migrating to the "new world" and you are investigating why, you head over on the 5th expedition to help explore and research the island.
The first few times I played it I found it a little meh.. Until I found weapons that work for me, then it became a blast!

That’s what I thought , I don’t know why but it’s a very relaxing game, it keeps drawing me back. Nothing exciting has happened in it yet and it’s not the sort of game I would usually play,but for some reason I want to keep playing it.

Dont expect anything major from what you are already doing EEH. From what I remember the major points of interest in the game are
Buying/repairing a ship so you can have improved storage/ weapons
Any of the fights against the flying robot overseers that escalate to the decent sized ground troops turning up
When you set up a base and upgrade it to house everything (Including expanded slots for you to store things)
Buying a freighter to transport/store goods
Activating a portal on a world
The ending...Im not going to ruin it for you but it is a massive letdown

So The Sims?

Subnautica is the better game by far if you want to play something with similar aims but just done better.
Way overhyped for what was released.
I have to wait 6 months for MH:W on the PC - but I'll be able to play it at a smooth 60fps in 4k
