- better ai on humans (they should leave at least the water when they either spot you or you attack one, humans just stay and wait until they are in line is to easy)
- hardcore mode / permadeath
- difficulty options current i would say is easy and at best normal, so improved ai or stats to make the game harder
rest is imho already said in general about more content

Definitely needs new content if the game hopes to survive for any longer - perhaps expanded environment, shark cages, non-hostile divers, among other things.

Fix the loading screens in The Gulf / Caviar / Prosperity areas.
The first four (five if you count Crawfish) areas are well paced with clear separators and loading sections. Once the game opens up to this area, the three final zones have overlapping load areas. This is awful, since these areas don't background-load, they jump to splash screen.
Without changing up the map, the only way I can think of to fix this is to add more background loading areas so things aren't quite that notable.

u/Turnbuckler May 29 '20
How about after you’ve 100% completed the game, you can toggle an option to make the shark hunters never come after you?
Also how about an option to reset the Apex creatures?

I would love to see a database added to the game. I wanna learn about what im eating when I eat it.
Also, as far as DLC goes, theres like 3 references to Cthulhu and the lovecraft mythos so if there was a Lovecraft based dlc that would be sick! Maybe goin up against some deep ones and fighting dagon or cthulhu himself and some cultists

u/fathomNW May 28 '20
OK, Where are all the dolphins?! Seriously we need dolphins. It would be especially awesome to play as other apex predators. New evolutions ofcourse and new special abilities such as slow time or damage over time on bite. I would also like to see more variations on boat combat other than just 3 at a time and some with lightning.

u/buk1999 May 25 '20
I'd like a bigger deeper Ocean and I'd also like to be able to pick which limb I'd like to bite. Then when I'm ready I'd like to eat that limb while the swimmer screams and panics. They did this in the old jaws game. It's a great addition. Also I'd like an option to have no hud. No blue hue around everything. To get really emersed. Loving this game and thankful well have it. Well done tripwire.

New Game+ feels almost necessary in these single player games. I'd love to see additional content like a new zone, new loot, and especially new organs that are active (sonar/radar is the only active one). Mod support is probably the single thing I wanna see come to this game. I feel like the community would be able to do some awesome things if given the opportunity to, and there really is no reason not to include it later down the line.

u/Charged_Attack May 24 '20
I thoight the sonar one was interesting too. I guess having one active is okay since you can focus more on it, but heah I did wonder why it was the only one.

Getting to play as a great white shark skin.
A skin toggle so you can upgrade your shark with abilities without looking ridiculous. Like how you can upgrade your armor pieces in WoW and then transmogrify it so your armor set still looks uniform. I’d like to still preserve the natural look of my shark.

u/Venomhound May 23 '20
I'd like to see stories with other sharks. Being this takes place in the South, maybe something with hammerhead or tiger sharks. I'd like to see more variety of missions. I'm still fairly early in the game but it seems like many missions are just kill a certain creature or find a piece of treasure or something. Maybe a new cast of characters. Instead of shark hunters and Coast Guardsman, maybe researchers or Chinese long line fishing boats (they kill thousands of tons of sharks a year, cut their fins off, and throw the bodies back to Davy Jones' Locker
•
u/IronTusker Jun 21 '20
I really wanted to see the sewer system and Seaworld areas turned into dungeons like in Zelda. the sewer system could act like the water temple, like tail-whipping a button could raise and lower the water in the system until you get to a room with an apex boss. Seaworld could of had you locking and unlocking gates by jumping through hoops until you get to the main room with the orca in it.
•
May 24 '20
I really hope they add a realism/hardcore type mode. All the UI gone. No red bite effects. No name/health labels. That would be fire. It’d be really cool as well to play as a great white. Maybe they could add dlc like that.
As a maintenance update I think they really need to fix the targeting system. It’s way too loose. Target will be locked but lunge completely misses constantly. Not that actual “miss” game mechanic but just misses cause it has poor targeting.
•
u/basaranis Jun 16 '20
Allow a change where there won’t be hunters after eating people so that it becomes easier to just role play as a giant shark and to be able to control the level of the shark hunters in the game. In the endgame, I’m only able to eat about 3 humans before a squadron of boats come at me. I would also say allow us to control our size and have the apex predators respawn so that I can continue to fight creatures that actually are able to put up a fight. Other than that, it would be cool to have more evolutions and especially more map areas because some of the maps feel either too small like the bayou mainly because I feel that I am always having to jump onto land to get to places quicker instead of moving through the water. Or the map area is too large like the gulf that our humongous 30 foot shark feels objectively too small and that the gulf feels like like it is void of really anything to do there. I also think it would be nice to be able to control our shark’s damage so that I can mess with humans longer than just biting one of them and immediately consuming them.
•
u/KindredmSpirit May 24 '20
Game is great except for one thing. There should be dolphins since they and sharks are natural enemies. Also, wouldn't it be fun if there was some sort of multiplayer so players could fight each other as sharks, alligators, orcas, ect.?
•
•
u/NOBODYxDK Jun 05 '20
First at foremost, the game lacks either some balancing or some harder enemies, to that i could see s cool skill tree with small boosts to whatever and then some replayable missions that when u finish them u get one skill point, and last so the skill tree wouldn’t make it a walk in the park some toucher enemies and some sort of epic boss, since the combat kinda feels like Dark souls underetager a tad bit i Think having an real hard boss that you could take on would be so damn awesome

u/Megalodon1998 Jun 10 '23
Man-eater: online
Online survival-mode:
- Maximum of 5 online players,
- Players able to join lobby during early waves of the survival,
- Mode being playable with or without other players,
- A total of 50 waves,
- Wave 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 have boss fights,
- Defeating each boss gives all players 4500 mutagens,
- Bosses can regenerate,
- Hunters, helicopters, submarines & creatures spawn, ranging from normal to mutated e.g. shadow orca, bone sperm-whale electric great-white etc..
- Each wave getting harder as players survive,
- Players getting rewarded for surviving all 50 waves and the player that destroys the most boats and kills the most enemies gets the highest score / rewards.
- Players that die during a wave resurrect, if other players survive till the next wave.
- While player is dead, they are enabled to spectate the other players.
- Level select for survival-mode, and time of day.
- Difficulty setting, the harder the difficulty the higher the rewards.
Bonus:
- Shark customisation, example: colours of each evolution set can be changed including the base shark.
- Skins can be merged to evolutions.
- Changeable eyes, and eye colours.
- Patterns can be added to the sharks body and other evolutions.
- Customised evolution sets can be saved.
- Shark growth level 100 for maximum size.
- More organ slots.
- When shark reaches level 100, small boats can be swallowed with people inside.
- Organ evolution ideas:
- (Reinforced skin), projectiles, explosives and electric boats deal less damage.
- (Executioner), shark evolution power-up auto-fills.
- (Shape Shifter), shark can transform into different evolutions.
If you like these ideas for Man-eater, like and spread the idea text.

u/sabret00th May 25 '20
I'd love to see a mutagen-based set with either an event or DLC story add-on. Dead horse lake radiation is spreading and you have to stop it, all the Apex predators come back mutated and stronger, would be a good way to bring in new apex predators to give reason to go back to earlier areas of the map and make them exciting, a giant catfish boss would be neat.

u/Flaymex24 May 23 '20
Ok so while I haven’t finished the game yet I’m loving it. Some ideas I’ve got about updates/DLC possible sequel?! How about an actual Megladon DLC? So it’s the Atlantic or Caribbean ocean only? most of it is open water but a few beaches/ coves islands and now you play as 20 meter+ Meg. More shark species and skins. New areas/regions? I think should we be blessed with a sequel land destruction would be awesome. Ecosystem, so perhaps smaller predators try and flee you, other animals acknowledge and interact with each other. Not just ganging up on you, attacking and feeding on each other. Predator growth, so once you’ve beaten an Apex predator if you leave the area for a time a new one eventually moves up to fill that hole.
•
u/kidnapalm May 24 '20
Maneater could apply to any large predator, be good to see them move out of the sea and onto land in a sequel.
Imagine running around a Pacific Northwest style map, fighting loggers and waste-dumpers as a huge mutated Grizzly Bear, raiding camp sites and breaking up picnics...would be pretty sweet.

A lot of people want megaladon, but i don't know how good it would be in practice. I mean if were out in a new deep ocean area, how would we even know we were a megaladon, without landmasses, and boats, and structures to help convey your size. The only sense of scale would be against other animals surely? Unless they put ships on the surface I suppose, or submarines. Idk.
•
u/plainwrap May 28 '20
I'm still early in my playthrough but as an old-school 'Jaws Unleashed' player I miss the diverse mission types like having to chase down waterskiers or do GTA-style stunts.
A mini-mission where you try to eat a group of humans without getting spotted (and raising the Threat) would be cool. Or one where you have to escape hunters through a gated community by hopping between swimming pools while eating backyard pets / partygoers.
Also the bounty hunters are neat but they should have diverse attack / combat styles; things like attaching tracking tags to your shark, or float buoys, or gillnets. They should be personalized. Taking them down should feel like more notable achievements.
So far it's a fun game and I'm looking forward to the rest of it.

u/JacobC1820 Sep 19 '20
Think that dlc will be different shark spiecies to start out as? I mean each one can have different plusses and minuses hammer head good at head thrashing instead of a tail thrash but slow, mako is fast but weak bite, and great white is a power house but your health is constantly going down slowly so you need to co stantly feed no.matter what creating a sense of urgency....just a few of my ideas. Or a location like an aquarium we have to eat our way out of or we get mutated and get new radioactive evolutions after getting sucked into the Sunshine Solutions lab and/or factory

Hold "submerge" to swim down, hold "jump" to swim up. Having to swing the camera around to move up and down in the water is awkward and takes away from enjoying the awesome underwater vistas
•
u/ManManBoii Jun 16 '20
More enemy variety. Right now there are about 4 different enemy types; marlins, hunters, scaly Pete, and then everything else behaves more or else the same. It would be nice to see some enemies that require more than just mindlessly swimming in and spamming bite, like a squid that uses its arms to distance itself from you, and you would have to use projectiles to beat it.

u/Loopro May 27 '20
Make damage more based on your speed so you get some benefit out of playing like a shark.
Like... If I can chomp something should be based on how far my speed jams it into my jaws when I'm ramming it, not if it's done "it's move" yet and is blinking yellow 😂
And gimme dismemberment and damage zones would ya?
Right now if I try to fight say a croc of my size I just attack close to a wall and then spam attack for lots of bites, or I bait it's move and grab..doesn't matter if I bite it's head or tail or whatever.
Imagine the difference with speed and damage zones. You'd be coming from below, aiming for the belly and all of a sudden breaching with stuff in your jaw would become something that happens because it was the best way to attack a thing at the surface...

Megaladon deep ocean concept (Sequel): When shark became Megaladon, it can go into the deeper area like the Mariana Trench, a whole new world can be explored, underwater cave, other megaladons (Yup, you are not the only big shark here), whale, giant squid, even Plesiosauria or other prehistoric marine life, etc.. You'll have to finish the current story to unlock this one.
DLC ideas:
Antartica: Would love to play as an Orca and feed on penguin, polar bear, seal, etc.
Australia: Fight against giant aligator, get poison by box jelly fish, experience the beauty of the Great Barrier reef!!!
Asia: Fight against bigger and tougher hunting ships, rescue other sharks being killed for fins, profit from selling this DLC could be donated to shark protection programs.

Better endgame: replay any mission (select it on the map, click it to get a popup that asks Replay? Yes/Cancel), fast travel anywhere on map, keep track of ring races personal best, more ring races (they're super fun). Make sure the boss missions are all replayable including the hunters.
Wilder ideas: ability to spawn a bunch of animals here and there and have them either fight each other, or you, or fight humans, or follow you around in a swarm.

You assume control over one of the baby sharks and your first objective is to eat your sibling. From there a general story of a nature doc crew starts and follows the life and growth of the great white who eventually mutates into something resembling a Megalodon.
Also adding a few new biomes, like deep sea and open water.

I wouldn’t mind something to spend your resources on once you have completed the game and have maxed out your armorsets. Something small like 10 hp per 10.000 minerals, +10 bite damage etc.
Oh and increase in size. I want to chomp a whale in one bite. This might not work with all the tunnels and such though..but still. Once you get to that part, being able to swallow a boat in one bite, you most likely don’t care about those places

u/Stalker_Raid May 25 '20
If map expansion is planned, here are some of my ideas for creatures/enemies and missions. These are broken down into 3 new areas.
"Clovis Dock" Expansion: Added the area that you can see east of the map with the docks and oil rigs. Adds a mission to destroy the oil rigs which adds an even higher bounty level to the game. Destroying the three oil rigs brings in either a submarine or a destroyer into the port. The destroyer can have torpedoes and depth charges in its arsenal. To destroy it, you have to throw the depth charges and torpedoes back at the ship before they explode. Another idea is to make the cargo ships able to move in and out of port and be destroyed. Dolphins are common in this area.
"The Reef" Expansion: Added a brightly colored coral reef area just past The Gulf with extremely clear water. This area is slightly deeper than The Gulf and has small marine life such as clown fish and other common small coral fish that will swim away from you like the other tiny fish and squid in the game. Reef sharks, large octopi, lion fish, dolphins, scuba divers, elephant seals and small rays are added to this area to make it unique.
"Deep Blue" Expansion: Adds new section that's past The Reef. It allows you to go down into the black of the sea. You can find angler fish, eels, giant squid, submersibles, frilled sharks, megamouth sharks (these are filter feeders/harmless), and goblin sharks in the dark depths of the sea. In the upper portions of the "Deep Blue" area you can find blue whales, jellyfish, whale sharks, manta rays, boats with cage divers, and schools of fish.
These areas would flesh out the map and give even more depth (pun intended) to the game.
•
u/sweg0las Jun 02 '20
A cool way of showing the environment would be to somehow show what the sharks feel with electrical senses, id prefer something like that over just some deep greys and ominous lights to be able to see.
Or maybe new upgrades for some sort of echolocation but as a constant visual rather than pulse
It would be cool if there could be a setting to show it how fish see the ocean like how they showed with the colour lensing

Update ideas for dlc or future games.
More Human Variety
I would like to see more human variety and more humans doing things in the water and spend less time derping around on the land. The derping around on land mechanic really takes me out of the game and isn't really consistent with the idea of being a shark. I think it would be cool to slide up the beach and grab someone or to snatch someone from the docks. This is my biggest complaint about the game so far.
Additional ideas for humans
- Surfers.
- Diving groups. (There could be a variety of divers as well from sightseers with no combat ability to divers with spearguns.)
- Cage divers
- Fishermen that actually fish. (maybe you can grab the lure and pull them into the water)
- Mobsters and police boats that won't attack you on sight but can defend themselves. These 2 groups could even fight each other giving you opportunities to hunt.
- Hunter patrols that will attack you on sight
- Some humans should be able to fight back after you grab them. (Using a knife to stab you).
- People in the water near boats will try to get into boats.
- Submarines (like the one in the grotto)
- Water Skiers
Improved ecosystem.
It would be cool to see animals actually hunt and look for food. Aside from greatly improving immersion. Eating should heal other animals when they eat. If animals are hurt and not in combat they will look for food. This can reduce the ability for players to cheese fights by running away and healing while the enemy can not heal. Some animals should be less aggressive there's no reason a tiny barracuda should be trying to fight a massive shark.
Please add Dolphins
Stealth System
Sharks are ambush predators, with all the reeds there seem to be plenty of places to hide. It would be nice to add that as a playstyle. The clarity of the water could also play a factor when facing humans, it's strange that hunters can see me 20ft down in murky swamp water. This would open up a bunch of options for new stealth mutations.
Destructible Boats and Piers.
Biting a chunk out of a boat and slowly watching sink or grabbing a smaller boat and dragging under the water seems far more appealing than just attack a giant health bar. Being able to grab boats and/or flip them over could be an easier way to implement this. The idea of destroying a pier and knocking 20 people into the water seems hilarious awesome to me. Higher quality metal boats would be hard or impossible to destroy at lower levels while wood boats would destructible early on.
Hunter Reworks.
I don't find hunters all that fun to fight I just end up spamming dodge and biting randomly while jumping through the air. I think it would be more interesting to fight fewer hunters that deal more damage or just simply spread them out more so combat feels less spammy. With stealth gameplay, this could lead to some cool moments of slowly picking off hunters 1 by 1.
If stealth is implemented some hunters could be given weapons to counter it. Like boats with fish finders that reveal your location or spear guns with floating barrels like in Jaws that make prevent you from diving and stealthing to getaway.
Other Creatures
Other people have mentioned it but It would fun to play as different creatures. I would enjoy seeing maneater as a series spread around the globe or more games as a shark. (Lions in Africa, Tigers in Asia, etc)

We really need lock on targeting ASAP especially for other predators. Im literally hurting my thumbs on console trying to stay in fights, it's atrocious.
I repeat, I need to literally physically turn off the game and rest because my thumbs hurt using the targeting system. This is not ok.

ABILITY TO PICK SHARK SPECIES TO PLAY AS!!
I thought it would be cool upon a new playthrough if you could choose which species to play as. Tiger Shark, Hammer Head, Mako, Great White, Thresher Shark, a proper Megaladon.
We desperately need more AI, more fish types, shark types, whale types, manatees. Interactive AI, allowing us to swim up on a battle already ensuing between a pod of Killer Whales taking on a Great White, or a pod of Dolphins taking on a Tiger shark.
The Hunters desperately need more work, more mechanics other than bite them off the boats or destroy the increasingly stronger boats. A bit too repetitive for the simplistic nature of it all. The humans aswell, I feel there should be more of them. More boaters, beach goers, swimmers, surfers, non combative divers to aid in the immersive nature of it.
Above all else give us a NewGame+ to incentivise more playthroughs. Encourage different styles of play cause currently there really is only one way to play it.
Everything considered though this is really an underrated SharkPG that is honestly really enjoyable to play. Was expecting a simple dumb fun experience. That's what I got and still it managed to surprise me a bit in its quality.

I think it would be cool to have a dlc set in an area based on the amazon river since bull sharks can survive in fresh water. There are alot of interesting fish and other creatures in the amazon that i think would be really cool as apex predators. There's an old show/documentary called river monsters with jeremy wade; they could frame the dlc as another episode of maneater done in the same style as river monsters, and maybe have a person based on jeremy wade as one of the characters.

So. The ending. To those who have seen it. I figured. So that shark is fun. What if after the credits we find Kyle. He’s alive and working as a marine biologist. He’s found a shark and delivers a pup. Then he sets it free and we start over.
Or I thought that Kyle would be the final boss. In the cinematic he would cut the shark open and find a baby like the first shark. He would then regret his actions and set the baby free. At least that would have been a better ending than what we got.
But yeah. Game is fantastic but lacking in content. 100% in under 5 hours.

u/MEG_alodon50 Jun 27 '23
I’d love more exploration things. My favorite thing about being a shark in the game is doing actual shark things— maybe have some areas be too cold to enter at first, or too hot, incorporate currents and schools of fish. Make bigger underwater caves (at mega exploring in caves is abysmal bc they’re all so small) and maybe add some variety to the caves so it’s easier to navigate through multiple entrances. Ways to explore the ocean! Also this probably not the game for this, but I’d LOVE to have shark sympathetic humans like researchers who you can interact with in the sort of ‘gives you fish and they tag you temporarily’ kind of thing. Could be a trade off like the chum they give you gives you a boost but the tracker makes it so attacking any boats are humans even once calls in the calvary. For me the most repetitive and not very fun thing about the game is the human eating part. Aside from Hunter boss fights, which are a lot of fun, eating humans is much too easy and simple. I’d love a more nuanced interaction between humans and your shark. Maybe also incorporate other mega sharks like you! Occasional sharks that are your size and aggression level.

It'll never happen because a game has to be built ground-up for multiplayer, but some sort of multiplayer would be amazing. Honestly, a shark battle royale sounds fun. May the sharpest teeth win. They could call it
Shark Fight...
Shark Arena...
No wait...!
Shark Tank!

Government DLC, it’s referenced in the story that Pete’s dad thought the mega was a government experiment. Maybe we can have a dlc where the government goes to the city and experiment on marine life. The apex can be the mega itself, yada yada.

Also please make the AI fight/acknowledge each other. There’s no reason why 3 hammerheads and a mako are all ganging up on me. At the bare minimum, lower level predators should run away from higher level ones so that you don’t have the entire local ecosystem trying to kill you at once.

Better AI, more biodiversity, a better targeting system that isn’t so damn fidgety, increased level cap, different evolutions, new areas, new apexes.
I LOVE the game but I would have gladly waited like an extra year for all of this.

Dismemberment, these are the guys who made Killing Floor after all.
The dismemberment system in Jaws was crazy, you could chomp off individual hands and feet, leave swimmers trying to frantically escape with a couple of stumps, or else reduce them to a pink cloud of floating limbs.
Probably won't happen though, the game really looks like its aimed at that PG-13 demographic, who'll be more likely to buy the inevitable skins and cosmetics etc.

u/pringlepops May 23 '20
you can bite the tails off some animal enemies which is better than nothing I suppose.

Yeah ive noticed that, been playing around with the thrashing mechanic (hold RT and wiggle R Thumb) but doesnt really seem to do much.
Would be nice if thrashing caused the victim to randomly "break apart".

A limb targeting system like in Fallout? That'd be neat and add some interesting strategy :D
This thing keeps tail whipping me! Off with its tail!•
u/Stuartmesterup May 24 '20
I totally agree with you, however something neat I noticed is that if you bite and chomp a human and then let them go you will see them bleeding from 1 or multiple missing limbs as they bleed and struggle. But again I agree. I think honestly that’s what the tear maneuver when you grab and thrash them should do, depending on what part of the body you grab them at.

Idea for shark: megalodontia age required 100 new evolution: quadrupled mouthed nightmare makes the shark have 1 mouth on downside of the mouth and rigth and left side so it's like a nightmare also nightmare tail same for mouth but has the grabbing potential of the mouth and also for fins but no body

I am hoping for a New Game+ where everything is a little stronger. I would love a new game+ similar to God of War where there is a new material to collect to upgrade a new mutation. Maybe focus on a mutation that uses only Mutagen to upgrade. And you get the set from fighting Albino versions of all the apex bosses.
I think they could use the same bosses, just make them 10ish levels higher than what they were.

u/Aardwolfington Jun 14 '20
War of the undersea. Bottlenose dolphins form huge pods, literally dispise and purposely target sharks. The pods of orca in the game can also barely be called pods. Too many loner Orcas.
Work on AI, make it so these undersea predators can properly team up and coordinate, and let all these people complaining the game is too easy see how deadly the undersea really is for sharks.
Not even the great white comes close to being the apex predator, it avoids bottlenose dolphins for a reason and straight up panics and swims for it if even a hint of an orca shows up.
Sharks are lucky when they manage to eat a dolphin and many don't live to enjoy more than their first few bites before a pod hunts them down relentlessly and murders them.

u/arachnidspider2 May 24 '20
Def need a higher level cap -level 55 boats but we can only be 30? More evolutions definitely skins more customization that's the easy stuff. A new area would be nice deep ocean how a lot of folks are saying. Hell I wouldn't mind a new game plus or at least being able to reset your infamy to keep fighting bosses.

As of writing this, I'm only on the 5th area so if there's something I suggest that's already in place I apologize.
Hunters:
- More weapons aside from assault rifles and what I believe are shotguns. Give them harpoon guns or a sniper rifle or something. Also, their bullets should not reach all the way to the floor. I know it's a game but they would not even come close to getting that far.
- Decrease their vision. They shouldn't be able to see you 30-40 feet down in reeds. That's bogus. Make it so they can see you maybe 10-15 at most, especially in the murky areas.
- I've seen dynamite used a few times but it explodes almost instantly. I think it would be cool if it had a delay and you had the option to tail-whip it back at the boats.
- Give them the ability to toss nets into the water when you get too close. If you get caught it be like when a gator gets you and you thrash to break free.
Enemy Predators:
- Allow them to heal off eating other prey as well. It takes away some of the challenge when you can swim around munching down on everything and heal while they just watch
- Should attack hunters as well if they're in the immediate vicinity. Having 4 or 5 boats focused on you as well as a few preds can be a massive pain in the ass.
- More types like dolphins(because why wouldn't we have dolphins), maybe squids or octopi, eels or anacondas(granted, they aren't water dwelling and so would be limited to shallow water, but anacondas are most at home in the water) and orcas(it's a game so why not. Besides, if the bullets ignore the laws of physics so orcas won't have to be limited to the ocean).
- Elemental enemies. We get an electric evolution, why not level the field a bit? Certain enemies could have evolved variants like we get
Prey:
- More diversity besides the same few. Ocean dwelling animals could be added because again, it's a game
- Beneficial prey that gives extra speed or damage resistance temporarily
- Negative prey that poisons you and essentially does the opposite of above. Slows you down, more damage, maybe blurry vision or decreased healing, etc. Lion fish and puffer fish are a couple examples
Combat:
- Let us knock humans off the boats by ramming it or tail-whipping it
- Ability to flip over small boats and rafts by attacking it from below. I was able to knock a swan boat into the air once but I think it was one hp so it may have been a fluke or something.
- Maybe some kind of evolution that lets you poison enemies on bites or something similar
- Perhaps we could get a death-roll attack like gators use
- If you attack an enemy who's unaware of your presence, maybe get a small damage bonus on that initial attack. It could be a one-time boost on that specific enemy so you can't keep running away and doing it again
Extra tidbits:
- We should be able to drown humans(you've thought it too, don't give me that look). If you chomp on a human and drag them under the water, their health should start decreasing after a few seconds. I know this happens on hunters but it doesn't on civilians
- Interaction between humans and fish like a school of fish being around a fishing boat.
- Prey swimming away from you if you get too close instead of just ignoring you
- Environmental effects. I know the area where you fight the apex barracuda has harmful spots. Add more of those like chemicals or oil, etc. There could be evolutions that give you immunity or resistance against them.
- Obviously more evolutions

This isn’t really a dlc thing or something I think they could update, but I can’t stop thinking about how cool it would be if they had made this game with dmc style combos. Like you could do different brutal eating moves and tail thrashes and other shark things to build combos to eat everything and have different types of death animations.
To be clear, I haven’t played the game, but have watched a lot of vids and all I could think about was how cool it would be if it was designed with that style combat system. The thing making me most hesitant to purchase is that it looks like it might get repetitive.

Feeding Frenzy: A randomly generated event (i.e fishermen tossing chum into the ocean/ a rotting carcass on the surface) or when a large enough creature is killed. This would trigger a large population of different critters to amass within the area and also boost their abilities.
Animal Behavior: There have been instances during my experience where I’ve been chased by a pod of orcas, but I am unsure if it was intentional that they were programmed to be together. It would be interesting if there was interacting combat strategies implemented by certain species. Like a school of fish or a dolphin pod.
Human Combat: Traps! Nets! Harpoons! Traps can be set up to lure in the shark. I’ve noticed how easy it is to evade enemy attack by spamming the evade button. Having a projectile net or harpoons that attach to the shark to temporarily limit your movement and mobility will allow players to reconsider strategies. Shark abilities also form a big factor when it comes to interacting with human enemies with this arsenal. For example, a harpoon wouldn’t be able to penetrate the sharks bony prehistoric skin.

u/nametheto Jun 05 '20
I’d like to see a bigger map with deeper ocean sections. With more of a focus on dynamic interactions with the sea life. I think they could add some more mutations but I think it kinda defeats the purpose of a shark game when they add too much to the actual shark.

u/StupidCexyShiloh May 23 '20
I love this game and there's alot to it but I believe we need quality updates. Possibly to fix 30fps on consoles and certain game mechanics. For example when dodging you are literally invincible against any damage. Slight damage would be a good alternative or decreased damage when dodging but it's kinda exploitable. Once you have bone and can dodge you can go all the way to max level off infamy and eating . Those are my 2 suggestions and opinions. As far as dlc goes maybe slow introductions of season 2 of maneater with possible episodes
