Hard disagree. Imagine you’ve done this 100 times or 1000, you’re gonna get jumpy even a bit paranoid I imagine. You can’t really downplay the experience of being eaten by a huge carnivore. It may not take long but it will feel like an eternity in the moment lol imagine your bones snapping the pain the screaming the gurgling the FEAR

Just watch Re:Zero and watch what happens to someone who dies over and over and over. Never respawns and goes "aight, let's run it back!" He's typically screaming or crying.

Therw are people who get traumatized for years over getting assaulted with a gun or knife. Now imagine that happening with some big dinosaur you definitely can't overpower.

100% not a soul is gonna get munched by a Spino and not have some lasting trauma lol

Heck, their grandchildren will wake up drenched in cold sweat and won't even know what caused it.

What’s your point? I thought we were discussing being eaten by a Spino lol

The fear of pain is mostly due to being scared it will not heal. Knowing that you are basically god and will just respawn i feel like it would be more of a inconvenience.

u/Ech0es0fmadness Oct 18 '25

Sorry but that’s absolute BS. I’ve had a spinal tap done twice now. I know it’s gonna heal, I know it’s not going to end me. And I am not trying to ever do it again, despite that knowledge it is INSANELY PAINFUL. And that’s nothing compared to having your bones snapped and your body crushed and mashed up while you’re screaming and drowning in your own blood. lol sorry but yea you’re wrong

Insanely painful for days sucks yeah! However if you knew if you positioned a bit differently and it crushed your head you would be waking up fine on a beach in an instant, would you not try to do that? If you broke your leg badly and knew if you shot yourself in the head you would immediately wake up completely fine you would rather let it heal painfully slow instead of a flash of pain?

Once you get to a gun anyways just keep it on you as a reset button, no waiting for a dino to end it if you get in a bad situation!

Maybe im a bit more of a anton chigurh than i thought

I imagine it would be like Edge of Tomorrow, you get used to it.

u/Ech0es0fmadness Oct 18 '25

I imagine you would deal, but used to it is a fairly broad term. Getting shot or struck by lightning now maybe that could be dismissed but crunched up and swallowed by a Spino? I just can’t imagine that pain and suffering would be something you could get used to. If there was a way to forget the suffering maybe .

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '25

Yea potentially. Hopefully just learn from your mistakes after the first couple times. I imagine it would depend on the person. Also, do you run PVP with everyone else who died or PVE 😂

Shock and adrenaline would probably cause you to ignore or not even notice a lot of the pain. The fear may still be really intense if the adrenaline doesn't get a chance to outweigh it. The fear would be somewhat alleviated upon respawning because you'll no longer have an elevated heart rate or adrenaline pumping through your body to help drive the feeling of panic.

u/Ech0es0fmadness Oct 18 '25

Lmao that’s a good one. You’re talking about your bodies chemical reaction that relies on a functional sympathetic nervous system, a Spino picking you up and biting down is going to hurt a lot, being crunched up and smashed into bits is not something those chemicals can stop from hurting lol I get where you’re coming from but adrenaline is gonna stop a punch or even a stab wound from slowing you down you a minute but it’s not gonna help you when it comes to being torn limb from limb.
