No Man's Sky in a nutshell.

This has been found in actual NMS code

Babie's first XML

Babie's first XML

Could you explain what's funny/interesting in the photo? I don't know anything about coding and such.

 

[Burning Bridges]

"MOTHER FUCKER", overexcessive use of Properties, generally it looks like something that could have been done much better without XML.
You normally would see how this shrinks when you 7z it, it is about 95% redundancy, and if that is the point of XML, not any more readable.

That's probably generated by some tool, I shudder at the thought of anyone writing XML like that by hand.

i played this some more (for scientific purposes) and came to the realization that it is gamified depression: it's repetitive to nausea, there's nothing to do and inspires you to do nothing, you are fully aware you shouldn't sit there anymore but it's familiar enough to keep you still.

But I already wrote a long time ago, it could replace water boarding. The prisoner is forced to play NMS to get his daily reward (food), and will gradually go insane over the sheer pointlessness of it.

It could however be put to good use for humanity, for healing people from gaming addiction.

Accomplishing so much. Good job, son!

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

"milestone accomplished". because every player in the world loves to be taken control away for several seconds every few minutes without any reason.

Not only has the game suffered from an abnormally high rate of GameStop trade-ins, but it has devastated the reputation of Lead Designer Sean Murray, previously known for his outstanding work on the Burnout series.

2016 is turning into quite the gaming year.

[MadMaxHellfire]

i'm tempted to buy it just to ask for a refund.

 

[Malpercio]

So this was true

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

that guy looks definitely retarded to me.

"Hey, do you see us?"

"No, my render distance is really short"

"We're in row 128"

"What the fuck? 128? I'm already like 800 rows up, you mean I have to go back down and count each row?"

"Hold on. We'll go find you -- which side of the theater are you on?"

"How can I tell? There's no compass!"

"Jesus fucking christ."

This is Arkham City levels of bad except that at least had shitty port job to blame.

 

[Mortmal]

Ill see if its really true...

Reading some more apparently it's kind of spotty. Steam's refund system is discretionary. The two hours/two weeks (or whatever it is) isn't a hard and fast rule and exceptions are often made. I'd be surprised if many people who had like 60+ hours are getting refunds.

This is hardly uncommon for AAA games and the attention span of nu-gamers who move from 'big thing' to 'big thing.' Hell, the article even cites games like Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 dropping over 70% and those were huge commercial successes.

I think it's a different case with a game like this THAT NEVER ENDS WOW and SP games that you just finish the campaign and move on.

For the record I'll still buy it at $10. It's an neat concept for an indie game but not a $60 AAA disaster.

It's an neat concept for an indie game

1. "a neat concept"

2. How do you figure? It's basically a micromanaging sim is without the payoff. I hardly see how it's worth $10. Maybe $5.

People have gotten bored within 10 hours.

Maybe if Sean works his ass off for 2 years it will be worth $10, but then he would need talent of which he has none.
