No Man's Sky

Creature generation is still hilariously bad...

I tried NMS for the first time after reading about this big new update. What an annoying piece of shit. Looks awful too with that weird filter over everything.

 

[Zewp]

So what's the story like? I'm really surprised they decided to add that.

I still can't imagine ever playing it again though.

Tried the new patch, the game stil manages to be even more boring than Elite Dangerous, which is in itself one amazing achievement

Yea sadly, the game has some great procedural tech...... but apart from taking pretty screenshots you cannot do a lot.

No Man's Sky Is Good Now

No Man’s Sky has always been a good idea. Exploring a vast universe and discovering the unknown was a good enough hook that hundreds of thousands of people gave it a try. Now the game has graduated from a good idea to an actual good game. It’s not just that there’s more content and more things to do. The game has been re-tooled, from the user interfaces to the dogfighting to working Portals, in order to improve players’ ability to discover interesting things, and allow them to actually feel a part of the worlds they inhabit. If you haven’t played since launch, pick it back up. If you were turned off by bad reviews, it’s time to give it a try.

shilling. shilling never changes.

What utter retardation. Paid reviewers believe people to have such short memories.

Paid reviewers believe people to have such short memories.

And they are absolutely right.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I don't know if those player spikes are new purchases or people who bought the game and played once or twice then said fuck this shit though.

 

[Gepeu]

Looks like they're selling a ton of new copies on Steam https://steamspy.com/app/275850 More than ~100k since the recent big update.

IDIOTS!!!!

 

[ERYFKRAD]

IDIOTS!!!!

The curse of memory, good taste, and browsing the codex.

 

[Burning Bridges]

This is the problem, many people just have no discipline. They may have sworn to never touch this game but once their curiosity was aroused, they were just waiting for an opportunity like this update. "I did it" "I pulled the trigger on NMS" etc

And a lot of people simply have too much money. As soon as a few hundred accumulate on their account, they are already longing for some crap to invest them in.

 

[Idiott]

I wouldn't call buying NMS "investing".

Yeah you can't buy 20k+ not complete packs of non-existent shigs for NMS like you can for Star Citizen.

I can't believe this shit isn't free on PS+ yet.

Makkab was separated into several different personalities, the regretful one, the retarded one, and probably someone else.

What is this game exactly about? You fly around and discover new planets?

that's what all the shills should be talking about instead of how the game looks. but they don't. so the logic assumption is that the game is about looks.

Procedural generation of planets is a creative dead end, with the exception of non-game simulators like Space Engine. After at most the fourth or fifth planet visited, the quasi-random swapping of scenery bits, sky boxes, flora, and fauna parts becomes readily apparent.

starbound has procedurally generated planets, yet it's fun because it has content. this piece of shit hasn't.

During the early and middle beta, yes, it did. It also had purely procedurally-generated fauna.

However, the developers realized that pure procedural generation was a mistake. Starbound post-release essentially has 8-9 hand-customized planet types (toxic, ocean, etc.) that differ only slightly from one planet of the same type to the next, and a couple dozen non-procedural monsters that are used on the various planets.

This was my Starbound ship. I finally got over being pissed off at the developers and played through it earlier this year.
