I have taken down an orb weaver, but not the dreaded wolf spider.
I'm out.
I mean, I should have known there'd be giant arachnids, but that is just 100000% fuck that for me. Hell, the medium large spiders and scorpions in ARK already give me the shivers.
Edit: Curses! whyyyy does PA forums do this to me? i *refreshed* the page, no posts, i *post* and there are posts! anyway, a Link for Kal to show what Pixie said.
Four legged spiders actually sound freakier to me than 8 legged ones.
Four visible legs, four invisible legs. The more you move the slider, the less of the spider you can see ... but it is still there, just parts of it are invisible. Sounds great.

More like "Now that it doesn't have all the legs a spider is suppose to have, I'm getting Uncanny Valley vibes on top of any general queasyness with spiders in general."
Note that I'm not an arachnaphobe. I mean, holding a tarantula would be a polite "no thank you," but I'm not freaking out when I see one within arm's reach either.

Ugh.
I swear Tales games almost try to discourage you from learning new characters and their fighting styles. Really wish Berseria had a training room with dummies or something.
Just wailing on random encounters isn't the right way to go about it.
When someone slides the arachnophobia setting all the way up, they should just change them to an angry faced balloon character or something. Just make it NOT a spider, at all.
I'm playing Grounded through the Xbox Game Pass for PC. It has 'cross play' between it, XBoxen, and Steam too. The trial for it is cheap or free, too. Anyway, I got eaten by ants my first save and it seemed like their ant aggro carried over to my new life so I decided to restart. Which was good, cuz it was only then that I discovered I had to Analyze things to get new recipes. Game should tie me over until Horizon Zero Dawn comes out next Friday.
Does nobody ever actually read tutorial messages?
My kid was playing this last night and afterwards, we were talking and he says "it took me forever to realize I had to get water from dew drops" and I just... like.... it was one of the first things the game tells you to do!
I didn't see it either times I played, so I'm more willing to say that it just didn't pop up for me. It went from 'go to this mark' (the computer tent) then I moved on and it was 'investigate the satellite thinger' I don't think I picked anything up my first time before getting to the computer, so I remember thinking "oh, I wonder what it means by 'next analysis time'" and then completely forgot about it (when looking at items that said 'unanlyzed') when the tutorial messages moved on to drink water and "wait, actually, pure water will probably be better." I enjoy just wandering around though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's basically what happens and... Spiders don't bother me but this gives me vague terrors i can't identify.
This game really wants me to buy it but im getting maybe one mission a day in Battletech so it will have to wait.
Oh wait - that's a spider. I admit, I didn't mess with the setting much myself. I seriously thought that screenshot was liquid falling. I should get more coffee.

Make it a T posing human mannequin that just slides around and says "rawr! I'm a spider!"
People who put a lot of time into Othercide should let us know if the game tapers off or gets very reptitive/monotonous. That's my major concern. You'll be repeating missions with very few changes and no additional plot to just prep for a boss you will fight in several hours.
This far, the progression has definitely been odd. Basically, you lose, die, and restart, or choose to restart at any time. You earn currency to activate what basically acts as a New Game Plus modifiers, and you spend those when you restart, for things get stronger, modifiers, etc. However, one of the major modifiers you unlock with the bosses, so far, has been a modifier to immediately skip the era that boss represents - so, for example, I completed the first boss, and now when I restart, I'm on to the second boss countdown immediately. Additionally, your units that have died are persistent, and you unlock tokens to resurrect units.
Basically, it hasn't yet, but I am still relatively early.

That. The slider is an extremely cool idea but turning the mob into a couple amorphous blobs doesn't quite work for me. It's too easy to miss or not understand what you're seeing. I like the idea of the slider turning the the mob into something cartoony and less threatening though. A balloon spider with a silly face would work.
This was a rough night. I was eaten by more spiders and beetles than I care to remember. I even died by falling out of a berry bush once (I thought I had a dandelion tuft glider equipped, but I guess I didn't).
Satisfactory will always have the best Arachnophobia mode.
I'm not sure pictures of cats help when you're still running for your life and hearing the sound of 24 skittering legs rushing up on you from behind.
I'm not an arachnophobe, but when I think of creepy crawlies, I'm surprised how often spiders feature instead of truly horrible things like centipedes. 8 legs is nothing!

"Based on user feedback, we've revised the Spider Slider with more options. If spiders are too unsettling for you and our previous options didn't work for you, you can now choose from:
Clowns
Snakes
Public bathrooms
Spiders with clown heads
Clowns with spider bodies
Rejection
The fear of disappointing your family
A bunch of spiders in a trench coat
Large amounts of debt
The fear of disappointing your family and discovering they're actually spiders
That dream you have every few months where you're suddenly back in school and struggling to pass even though you graduated over a decade ago"

it's not quite JUST amorphous blobs. Here's a screenshot of another type of spider closer up.
I think it's not just amorphous blobs, it's specifically the head and thorax of the spider model. I would assume those are the parts that make up the spider's hitbox, and are enough to tell what direction the spider is facing. And, of course, it doesn't require the creation of new assets.
very simplified polygons of the model yes. It still gives you a couple eyes so you can see which way it's facing. The only real problem could be if the legs have hitboxes. But I imagine they dont really, or at least most of the attacks would be done by the mouth.
Devs: "We heard you don't like spiders so we gave you SIX different ways to make them less threatening!"
Internet: "Not good enough!"
At this point it's basically onions. Tons of people say they don't like onions but if the onions are cooked and not readily visible they'll eat until they say, "This is good, what's in it?" And you say, "Onions!" and now they don't like it because they know the onions are there now.

Some millipedes have a defensive spray that contains hydrochloric acid. And a thousand legs!
To be fair as someone who hates onions I hate the texture of the onions rather than the flavor. I love the flavor of onions, I hate the texture - I won't eat them unless they're either finely powdered or boiled down to the point of irrelevance.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I love the flavor of spiders, I hate the texture.

wait, people don't like ONIONS? I don't want to live in a world where this is the case.....!
Some people don't like peas, either.
A lot of people who don't like a vegetable have usually had them undercooked or with a poorly chosen cooking method. I didn't get why other kids didn't like broccoli growing up until I much later in life I learned many of their parents probably had boiled or steamed it.

Roasted Broccoli is the way and the light.
Boiled is a war-crime.
Steamed is ok, just don't overcook it. Hard to get good seasoning with steaming though, just roast it.
I should start Grounded or finish Carrion, but instead I started up a singleplayer modded minecraft world yesterday. I'm bad at playing my backlog.

Charcoal-grilled vegetables are awesome.
A grilled onion with some salt and lemon is delicious.

Wait until the asshole forcing you to eat it won't let you put anything on it like butter or cheese or something.
And any vegetable high in iron tastes like dirt no matter how you cook it.

Four visible legs, four invisible legs. The more you move the slider, the less of the spider you can see ... but it is still there, just parts of it are invisible. Sounds great.
My arachnophobic kid said the same thing.
