A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

Games like State of Decay or Stalker CoP is how RPGs should be, not hidden object puzzles a la Shadowrun.

You mean, all cRPGs should be about killing things over and over to gather more loot without any tactics, purpose, meaning or choices? That sums up 90% of the cRPGs all there, including Shovelrun.

NMS to feature leveling up system

the new mechanic was teased by audio director Paul Weir at the Sonar+D conference in Barcelona.

" to level up - there's a whole levelling up mechanic which we haven't actually shown publicly yet. "

NMS is a space RPG, pls move the thread to gRPG forum.


Talking with aliens and having C&C, and levelling up, if Oblivion is a rpg, than NMS is also.

 

[Beowulf]

Oh, so it will be a best selling RPG/space-sim soon.

Did they implemented it in the last month before release?

quite possible, or rather in the last few months.

This game reminds me of Sir You Are Being Hunted, another British game that seemed so promising in principle but turned out to be bad. Never forget.

Is this one being made by someone associated with RPS too?

Can you romance the aliens?

Sean speaks on comparison with Spore

I completely lost all hope in the project. From that video its clear they have no idea what they are doing.
No person who takes procedural generation seriously could ever like that game.
In fact Spore is the antithesis to a simulationist that wants high mechanical and system complexity.
Spore is so shallow that there isn't even a fucking puddle yet that is the example of procedural generation you are going to take? Not Minecraft? Not Dwarf Fortress?

I tell you now, No Man Sky is going to flop, and its going to flop EXACTLY like Space Pirates And Zombies.

 

[Makabb]

No Man Sky is going to flop

no

No Man Sky is going to flop

no

Oh, yes, it's going to flop badly. First of all, it's plenty of guys on other forums who are tired of continuous delays and unclear communication between Hello Games and costumers, and they probably won't buy the game.
And casual gamers will never buy this shit (first of all, because of its *cartoonish* graphics - we want viuleeence!!!).

I think you put too much faith in humanity. Most of the budget for this game went into advertising, and the presale seems to be going well. It usually takes a sequel to feel the wrath of disappointed customers.

Of course, it was a bit late that Sony noticed that the game didn't contain any gameplay, and the delay took quite a bit of steam out of the advertising campaign. They probably should have just released it, with shitloads sold, and then quickly forgot about it.

EACH PLANET IS A RPG DUNGEON, MULTIPLANETARY OBLIVION CONFIRMED.

"There are challenges, puzzles, secrets, and obstacles littered across the surface of every world. Some creatures in areas abundant with precious resources might be aggressive, for example, forcing you to fight. In the observatory I visited earlier I found a number puzzle that, when solved, revealed the location of a secret. When you’ve finished on a planet, Murray wants you to feel satisfied, like you’ve accomplished something"

They took the additional time to make a RPG hybrid.

If every planet is a dungeon, it's a genious move. Now you visit planets not just only to explore which was original purpose, but to gain dat phaat loot.. This might be even better OCD simulator than diablo 2 bhaal runs.
