It doesn't remove them. They just look less like spiders. They'll slowly have less legs and eventually just look like two orbs (one for the torso and one for the head).
Someone posted a link to an article showing what it does. Lemme see if I can find it.
edit: ah, here
Grounded caters to those with arachnophobia in a very unusual way
A slider lets you adjust how much spider shows up on screen

It just makes their heads and eyes and removed the hair and legs. So they are still there..you just can't see all of the details of them.
jesus fuck. i'd die if i was hunted by a spider. are they goofy at least? or kidna realistic?
I'm thinking of moving that slider to the max right now.
So if you go into your friends game it will only save for the host? everyone else will need to start over when they play the game alone?
Oh wow so they just kind of become floating heads? That's going to look weird. I'm not sure what else they could do though. Looking at that article makes me kind of creeped out actually, I think I might be afraid of a floating body/head of a spider without the legs. I'm not acrophobic but I think I'd be more afraid of some floating disembodied things chasing me around.It doesn't remove them. They just look less like spiders.

Wow I'm not arachnophobic but that second gif gives me the willies.
I tried the mode set to max in the beta and a floating orb moving through grass was just as terrifying :D
The fact the big blades of grass move gives me the willies too... it hits on some survival horror feels for me and I'm not scared of spiders at all. But I also kind of think I wouldn't be scared of the Alien if it was an inch in size but the fact it's bigger than me and is terrifying is why I can't make it though more than 10 minutes of Alien Isolation. Spiders are the top tier enemies in this game too, like end game monsters, so you've got to go to fight them super geared up or run when you see them.
I think this is understandable. Each "game" is its own save/world. It's a little bit like Minecraft where each player has their own progress tied to the individual world.
Oh okay cool. Yeah in that scenario, I think he would probably have the main save and me end up being the co-op helper haha. But yeah you're right, looking for the real co-op feeling with a friend or something, that is kind of disappointing. Thanks for the reply and the info!
I'm actually really looking forward to this one. Which is weird, because I generally dislike survival games, foraging games, and base building games - so perhaps not surprisingly this game was initially way off my radar. However, when they did the game preview demo thing a while back I tried it on a whim since it was free and for whatever reason, it really clicked with me.
My biggest issue was the time gate on the demo which meant I couldn't really explore at my pace, so I'm looking forward to the release later today where that won't be an issue. Could be that when I actually can play the game instead of rushing through it, I'll start to have issues with it the same way I do with other survival/foraging/base building games. I'm hopeful that with the loose quest structure Obsidian has dropped in though will be enough guidance for me to really have fun - because the environment is just a joy to walk around. Really nails that feeling of being super small in your backyard.

Buddies and I put a ton of time into Conan Exiles once upon a time. Hoping I can get the gang together for this, it really is a fun concept.
It seems weird to cater to arachnophobia in a game that still has gigantic wasps buzzing after you right? Like... I don't think there is anything wrong with the options to make spiders less scary for people scared of spiders. But once you've done that, don't you have to have options for people scared of bees and wasps too?
I think arachnophobia is a much more common phenomenon than fear of wasps or bees.
I also have a gigantic arachnophobia, but I want this thrill in the game. Give me all the goosebumps.

And it's online!

If you are on Game Pass PC: I changed my region to US and I could install it.
Yep. It's asking me if I'm the owner or have a disc. It's installed, it just doesn't start.
As someone with aracnophobia i agree. They should allow for all insects to be changed.
That said there are so many phobias that it might be hard to help everyone. For me that sldier is a difference of wait for a bundle to see if i can tolerate the game to lets aks my GF to play for a round.
What frame rate does the Xbox One X have? Can anyone that's played it offer their impression of this? Thanks!
Lirik, and many other streamers, are playing right now. If people want an impression without playing.
I can't see what my framerate it because for some reason it's not in the top right with every other game (nvidia overlay) but it feels pretty good at 4K with all graphics set to Epic. Anyone know how to get the framerate to appear on games from the Microsoft Store/Xbox Games Pass App on PC?
My current objective says 'Find more evidence' for the Investigate Surroundings quest. Not sure where I should go but can I just build a base now and start collecting stuff?

Can't lunch the game, says "For this, the owner needs to sign in", already restarted the console and reinstalled the game.
Any tips?
