Anyone want to comment? You want limited space and resources to drive conflict between players. You wont have that in a near infinity galaxy. | ||

People comparing NMS to EVE had a incorrect assumptions already. NMS is a survival game set in space. If you want to play a first person space sim in a giant massively generated universe then you should have been playing Elite. | ||

The concept of this game just does NOT meld with multiplayer. The whole point of the game is to keep moving in "infinite" space... I just don't see where multiplayer would fit in, without turning it into something static and done-before. We have EVE, we have HALO, why make this another space-shooter instead of something different? Infinitely generating worlds, but introduce multiplayer, and now you have dozens of people sitting on one planet, or flying around one star, shooting each other. We already have those games. It's an enjoyable grind, imo. It's got a decent progression to it, that keeps you wanting to get more schematics and rare resources. And occasionally you find a planet that really is just surprisingly fun and goofy with its terrain and wildlife. Something that I think could improve the game immensely would be a few alternate interior-sets. It just clashes with the theme and variety of the game that every space station I fly into is exactly the same. Even simply randomizing the lighting or color-set of these stations would do a decent job of breaking that monotony, and it'd be pretty easy to implement. But all in all, I got my money's worth from this game, and have enjoyed it. I hope the dev team can patch in some things in the future. But as a whole, it delivered on a pretty amazing concept. | ||

Eh, I have heard as many reports that it could use less mechanics and just be about traveling. For every person wanting more mechanics, I know one who just wants to fly around and see what it out there. | ||

Thankfully demographic of reddit/forum users willing to complain about games they didn’t buy is a loud, but small group. Thats the point thought isnt it. If no one complained, what exactly would they learn? If no one complained all would be fine. Anyway, heres a pretty long post on reddit on what is missing and/or changed that was promised, so you can get down from your high horse and stop patronizing the people who expected a good game and were disappointed. And dont forget: Im not saying YOU cant have fun in the game. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/4y046e/wheres_the_nms_we_were_sold_on_heres_a_big_list/ | ||

This is the kind of criticism that is most relevant and most impactful in the long run. If posts like this one had been more prominent after release, rather than what felt like a cavalcade of monotonous whining and fist pounding about prices and repetitiveness, then I think the tension in the community would be much different. I know a massive post like this takes time to organize and really digging through all the old promo material and interviews is no easy task, but it was too easy to dismiss a lot of the complaints as whining because it wasn't what people expected (in their own heads), rather than folks who had been adamantly following the game's development and excited about a lot of the more subtle features. To me, a vast number of smaller features and criticisms makes a much bigger point than making a giant fuss over something obvious like the multiplayer issue. Even that is minor when you compare it to everything on that list, imo. It just happened to be the first thing people figured out and clung to to channel their anger. I'm still playing the game casually for what it is, and maybe over time if we're lucky we'll see some of these features creep in and flesh the game out. If not, then that's unfortunate. At this point I have no idea what to expect, if anything. But people that are upset or disappointed should (and probably will, now that someone's put in the work to make that post...) be questioning where many of the demoed features went and if/when they'll ever reappear, rather than shouting about studio lies and memeing all over the place. If you want people to really listen, break it down in detail and take your audience as seriously as you want them to take you. That reddit compilation post was the most eye opening criticism I've seen so far. Much respect. | ||

I'm trying to see if it's worth buying. I like the concept plenty, but I'm not sure that I'll just play it for a couple of days then put it down forever. | ||

I like the concept plenty, but I'm not sure that I'll just play it for a couple of days then put it down forever. It differs very much from person to person. The game basically only has one thing to do, fly to a planet and farm resources. Once your tired of this there is nothing else left. I expect the very limited and shallow gameplay to cause a complete crash of number of people playing this game after 2-3 weeks. It will be completely dead in 2 months max. Fortunately its a single player game so the amount of people playing has no effect on you but I use it here as a measure of longevity. | ||

I like the concept plenty, but I'm not sure that I'll just play it for a couple of days then put it down forever. If nothing about the game changes in it's current state, expect about 10-20 hours before getting bored, and that's generous maybe, like if you're really interested in the concept and just want something to play casually and take screenshots. In theory it would be great if they could add new content and features every few months, so it would be the perfect thing to play 5-10 hours of on a lazy weekend and then come back many months later with new things to do. Not sure when that'll start happening though. | ||

It is the space version of Pokemon Snap I never knew I wanted. Exactly as advertised then. "That's the answer that I want to give... But then there's the answer I have to give, just because you have to talk about the game and write about it and convey it. So there is a core game mode there. There's the player's journey which, if they play it linearly and go from the outer edge of the galaxy to the centre of the galaxy, that's their start and end of the game kind of thing. "And as they go, they're upgrading their ship, they're upgrading their weapons, they're upgrading their suit. And they need to do that because they're very vulnerable, they will be attacked by AI, potentially - very rarely - other players, things like that, if they cross paths with them. There's space combat, there's combat on the ground, there's trading if you want to do that, mining resources and stuff, there's exploring if you want to do that. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-01-22-so-what-do-you-actually-do-in-no-mans-sky I like how he ends with "there's exploring if you want to do that". I sure hope buyers want to do that because that's pretty much all you get :D. | ||
