HE FUCKING WON!
>>719512987Toddbros...Not like this...
>$60 at release>9 years later>still $60
>>719512987"more like No Guy Buy"- videogamedunkey
>>719512987So are this game and Cyberpunk actually "good now"? I thought claiming that shitty games were somehow fixed was just a marketing stunt.
>>719513141No, they’re not “good”. Just fixed as you said. So, they’re mediocre at best
>>719513141Cyberpunk is still bad because its Nightcity: Florida Edition.NMS is what it is at launch, an exploration game, that concept is basic as shit and lots of people find it boring, lots find it fun. Whether you like the idea of just flying between planets to see things you haven't seen before is a brain rot you either have or don't. But they have updated every aspect of the game to make it better including the diversity of shit you can see when exploring.
>>719512987god damn that picture encapsulates everything wrong with white men
>>719513130My nutsack would be mega chafed about that if they didn't keep adding a shitton of free content and fixing bugs. If the game was stagnant since launch I'd expect it to be like $10 or less. As of right now, $60 is a fair deal, was a total rip at launch tho. The Worlds updates and now Voyager update has pushed it way over the line for me into great territory. >B-b-but you just shoot rock and get resource!Explore a lot more, do more varied shit, fill out some quests. There's base building and other stuff but there's also colony management, storylines, lore delving (shitty desu), lots of upgrades for gear in a psuedo loot system. A bunch of vehicles, space combat, artifacts, archeology stuff for more base decorations.At the start it's easy to fall into the loop of mine, craft, repeat, and there's plenty of jank here and there. But on the whole, I think it's worthwhile enough and unique that a game like this even exists. Not for everyone, but my crippling and terminal autism makes me like it.
>>719512987
>>719513141No, its what you thought but reddit falls for that sort of thing
>>719513130shut the fuck up retard
>>719513130>tfw bought it in the "Sean took the money and ran" doldrums so it was only 10 bucksNow, if only I actually liked the game. That would be pretty sweet.
>>719513141None of the updates for NMS addressed the gameplay which is its biggest issue. The inventory system is cancer as well.
>>719514463I got this game for free and still felt ripped off
>>719514685If you're not stupid you would be able to tell in advance that it isn't the kind of game that you would like.But you are stupid, which is unfortunate for you.
greatest redemption story in gaming history.
even if the game was good now, imagine buying something and then being told "i know it's not what i promised you'd be getting but in 2-3 years it's going to be worth it"
>>719512987>be me>fall for the engoodening meme>try no man's sky>I'm in a cave mining minerals off the wall with a laser>randomly generated creature walks by, looks like shit because it's an algorithm randomly throwing a mammalian head onto an insect body>uninstall>money refunded to steam wallet
>still, at its core, mining for materials going from planet to planet>not many combat encounters and the combat both on foot and in the spaceship isn't even very goodI'll pass. Happy for them though.
>>719514757But the game still has no purpose.
>>719514827neither do you
>>719515014Naturally, cause I'm not a video game.
>>719512987Good example of how gamers are the most retarded chumps out there.
i tried it for 5 hours today, nothing happened in 3 galaxies just laser the same trees and rocks across 12 different planets to get the same exact resources to i guess keeping making fuel so you can jump again? nah>>719514757none of whatever this is is in the game lol
>>719515080other people have purpose, you have none, ur shit faggot
>>719515203What purpose do you have?
>>719515192its all in the game you ignorant faggot fuck
>>719515192>nothing happened in 3 galaxiesHow the fuck did you get through 3 galaxies in 5 hours? Got lucky on the black holes?
>still no proper orbits cause retardeds mass reported them as a bug and had them removed during playtesting
>>719513130I bought it for 20 shekels two days ago. Am I now supposed to spend 6 months grinding to afford a new ship? Things are already getting repetitive a couple hours in. An endless shallow copy&paste universe to explore.
>>719515250i make sure faggots like you know that they are worthless
>>719515335I asked to tell what's your purpose, not to list your mental illness.
>>719512987This game makes me a bit irrationally angry. I like the fact the company had integrity after their massive release fuck up but the game is so fucking pointless.
>>719515334stick to assassin's creed games little guy you aren't cut out for sandbox
>>719515443It's more of a wallpaper than a sandbox.
>>719515192>He doesn't know the difference between a solar system and a galaxy.
>>719515516
>>719515516>wallpaperSpace engine does a much better job. What's the point
>>719515192Cant tell if trolling but yes you could just mine, craft, fly, repeat. Or you could explore the other ways of traveling.
It's funny how /v/ made fun of him for the soiface and jumped to conclusions, calling him a beta cuck, when in reality he's just a nice guy who wanted to make a cool game.Ironic considering /v/irgins constantly complain about how vain women are.
the game is still boring as fucklots of shallow mechanicsthey don't improve anything, just add retarded boring shit
>>719512987LMFAO
>>719515672>what's the pointExactly
>>719515879To be fair the soiface shit is cringe as hell.
>>719515901I wonder what Star Citizen has as its player count.
>>719512987he actually did it. the madman
>>719513135"keep saying it" - videogamedunkey
Unironically, had the corvette thing has me playing again. Hate base building in a game about constant exploration, so being able to take your base with you is nice. Plus can make cool corvettes. Just wish there were more parts
honestly proud of the team
whats the key to farming space shekels
i just dont like how >bad game becoming good gameis now just an immediate comparison to No Man's Sky
At what point would it just make more sense to play Empyrion or Icarus?
>>719518001Crashed ships, storm bulbs and scanning with 3 scanner mods on. To name a few.
>>719518001Pirate hunting and faction standing. You get free shit and discounts. Turn that stuff around and sell it at profit. Also find a trade route to buy and sell trade goods between systems.
Im actually looking forward to Light No Fire but God that name sucks ass
>>719518001Derelict freighters seem decently lucrativeGoing to planets with salvageable scrap yields good as well, can just shoot the scrap from your ship no need to landGet a good scanner and just scan shit can pay upwards of 10k per scan
>>719518372>10kGo to a multi tool mod merchant and look for s class scanner mod. Reload the game and buy another. Reload again and buy the last one. Enjoy over 100k a scan. Want to move fast? Do the same but at an exosuit mod vendor and look for movement modual s class. Melee then jetpack during melee animation.
>>719512987>game is finally fixed 9 years after release We are a stagnant culture. In 1997, a game released in 1995 was considered old and outdated and you'd be a sucker for not playing the hottest thing on the market. When I built my first budget gaming PC in 2007, I installed Jedi Knight II because it was an "old" game that it could run but I felt embarrassed about it since Crysis was coming out.Now here we are in 2025 and a game nearly a decade old is not only still full price, but drawing in 100k players. What the fuck man, it's like time stopped progressing in 2010.
>>719513135Remember when everybody thought Dunkey was some funny black or Hispanic guy, but then he revealed himself and he was just another obese white nerd affecting a New York accent?
>>719514827>quite literally still THE widest puddle in all of video gameswow, impressive
What do you even do in this game?
>>719518743>>719514827>Nooooo!!! The exploration crafting game I bought hasn't changed from the exploration and crafting concept since launch!
>>719512987Is this yet another inch-deep feature to add to the checklist or is there actually more to do now? Last time I played, everything I tried to do felt pretty shallow.
>>719512987Yeah, lying works.
>>719518852As someone who has put over 200 hours in, this game left exploration behind years ago. Derelict freighters are the closest they have gotten.
>>719512987>AAAAAA MUH NUMBERSdon't care, still not buying your slop
>>719512987What other games were engoodened?All I can think of is Cyberpunk.
>>719512987That picture was literally the beginning of the SØY age.
>>719515280The intro tutorial which is about that long makes you do 3 jumps
>>719519328Those are solar systems (analogues), not galaxies. Galaxies contain billions of solar systems and are hundreds of thousands of light years across. Solar systems contain stellar objects like planets and asteroids and are well under a light year in radius. Understand the difference.

>>719520000Make a trade route for yourself that goes through systems that are dangerous, they'll find you as you're carrying the trade goods.
I've been conscious of this game ever since the first launch shitstorm and I still have no idea what this game is about, other than space exploration or something
>>7195159015k is still an obscene amount for a horrible game that's also on gamepass
>>719518670Remember when everybody thought Dunkey's girlfriend would stop saying it, but then she kept on saying it?
>>719514827You create purpose, just like in real life.
>nu-/v/ be like: "It's the best game I ever played!"
>>719512987>playing this when X series existsi'd even accept flopbound with fracking mod over that trash
>>719520676Fuck that game. I was so ready for Terraria 2.0 but that shit turned out to be worse in nearly every way.
>corvette hatches can bug out and stay permanently openMan.
>>719515901>That graph on the bottom showing an initial hype followed by reality settling inThat's so grim
>>719514757it gave way to devs just releasing unfinished broken games and "fixing" them later
>>719518630>What the fuck man, it's like time stopped progressing in 2010.Try 2012, turns out we experienced the end of the world as the Mayans predicted, but it was a figurative death.
>>719512987one eye on the streets one eye on anon
>NMS is almost 10 years old
>>719518630real

>>719513130It was $22 when I bought it
>>719514757When the first paid dlc releases, they will drag Sean's dead body down mainstreet and call him a liar.
I don't know why they haven't made the core of the game not a massive slog/chore.
>>719518630>I installed Jedi Knight II because it was an "old" game that it could run but I felt embarrassed about it since Crysis was coming out.You are just extremely insecure.Normal people just play what's fun for them regardless of if it came out the same year or 30 years ago.People are still playing Diablo 2/Tetris/AOE2/pacman/etc.
>>719521474nobody seems to address thisespecially looking at how now people are forgiving CDPR for the trashfire they released even after they just straight up lied to everyone about the state it was in and even paid off influencers and journos to keep up the charade putting out games in an alpha state, not even beta, and calling it a finished product with the "promise" of maybe fixing it later if they feel like it is really starting to look like the future of vidya
>>719512987Well Halo fans are jumping out of skyscrapers. No man's sky 2 can't be that bad if they do decide to go for it. It's all uphill from here.
>>719524384
>>719526141The game is still missing promised features that were advertised before release
>>719526471I don't think so? Name a couple.
>>719514757There's a saying in the world of restaurants. Chef's call it "being a busy idiot".It's when you do shit that isn't required and you are just wasting time avoiding the main issue.
>>719520676>Repeat the same 15 minute loop forever>Every world is the same thing
>>719512987What are you, president of his fanclub?
>>719513141No, they just added enough to satisfy the people who have buyer's remorse. The game has never fulfilled the promises of the pre-release trailers, teasers, interviews, etc. The planets are no longer empty, yes, but it's just filled with collectathon stuff instead of the dynamic ecosystems they had promised.
>>719526646Not that guy just go look at the thread they locked on their forum a year or two back listing them lmao
That era when /v/s biggest boogeyman was white dudes making funny faces
can you fuck cute aliens yet?
>>719518670Yeah, he was much better before he started taking his own opinions seriously and then acted like a sarcastic loser whenever someone criticized him
>>719526471>>719526646animal AI was pretty advanced in the trailers, with herds and interactions even among herbivores, I'm playing it right now and every animal "behaves" the same way ie just walk around aimlessly
>>719526923that era hasn't endedwho do you think are the 5th columnists helping to push all the tranny and minority and censorship and ugly bitches bullshit?
>>719512987Was good to chill in VR but it's still a sandbox game in the end. Really wish the game did more but it'll probably upset the playerbase.
>>719514757all that and theres still nothing to do kek
>>719512987Even if you hate NMS, the fact that all this shit was free should be good enough.
Can I make my character in to a hot bitch in a space suit yet?
>>719513130>>719512987I think what's most impressive is any other developer would've priced all of NMS's 20-30-odd updates at a price of $10-20 a piece if they were Paradox or any AAA dev.Makes sense why, and it's the only reason Hello Games despite their boring game gets any sort of kudos. Stable price of their game with free updates other fuckers would've price each one at $10-20.
>>719514757I considered buying it in 2016. I'm still thinking about it.
>>719512987games are so shit people would rather play 10 year old games like that farming game or that other farming game or the space farming game.lol
>>719512987I actually legit bought this game on sale yesterday and played for over 3 hours (meaning I can't refund it) and it's just a bunch of gathering and crafting without really a goal or purpose other than to unlock more gathering and crafting. Does this game ever get fun? I have no idea where the fuck to go or wtf to do outside of the mission log. I feel like I fell for a meme or something.>>719515192Yeah, this about mirrors my experience, only I spent most of my time on 2 planets doing base building missions the game kept giving me.
>>719514757>scam people>finish the game>WOW REDEEMEDFucking retards.
>>719514757I appreciate that these niggas are still going strong strong with updates after being a laughing stock almost a decade ago, they probably got a good few people genuinely liking their game and I believe they now have most of the features promised originally. But they also seemingly pioneered this model where publishers and developers are ultimately lowering the resting equilibrium by releasing dogshit on release and then maybe patching up to a milquetoast state at best.
Gek sex.
>>719513130It's on GOG so it's very easy to pirate.
its based for cucking saarfield
>>719516486Couldn't you do that with freighters beforehand?
>>719527948It is not a scam if he delivered, mong
>>719513849So you are telling me the game doesnt suck anymore? Really? What makes the game so different from launch?
>>719513130>He didn't buy it for $8 on sale when the shitstorm was still goingstonks
>>719512987Post the edits
>>719528159Fuck you, retard. They scammed so many people out of their money for a shitty game they promised only to deliver it years later. What if you paid 5 dollars for deodorant only to get it 2 years later? What good is it?
How soon can you get to ship buildiing?Thats the thing that will bring me back and make me sit through the slow start.And can you build and store multiple ship blueprints/ships?I spent hours tinkering in starfield and will 100% do it again because I am that guy from the lego movie.
>>719513130its 15$ on eneba lol
>>719513045>outsells No Man SkyToddbros...we won
>>719518349This except don’t bother making a trade route between the same 3-4 systems because it takes time for the economies to restock/resettle prices, and frankly it’s boring to stick around the same handful of systemsBake trading into your exploration. A nexus mission brought you to a random mercantile system? Take some extra missions from the space station, do them while exploring, drop by a trade depot to load your freighter with all the goods, get your missions done, warp to a materials processing system, grab some missions, stop by the trade depot, so on and so forth.
whats the coolest multitool? ive been using the starting one for the past 20 hours
>>719512987Can someone spoil me on the endgame for this?Is it like subnautica where the story actually leads to something somewhat interesting and mysterious? Outerwilds-like perhaps in terms of story?
>>719521308I love the new corvettes but why the FUCK can I only shoot 1 out of the 3 phase ray guns I mounted??
>>719527330I can run practically every VR game on Steam done with no issues. But every single time I’ve ran No Man’s Sky in VR, it runs like absolute fucking shit with like 20+ hang times and constant artifactinf making it unplayable. Am I doing something wrong?
TEA AND NOMS
>>719529573no
>>719529570The autophage staves
>>719521474>>719526141The ones who pioneered this are all of the popular as fuck eternal early access indie games that you fuckers praise the fuck out of. Games that release barebones as fuck and take a decade to finally release (with missing features that might get added later) while cranking up the price every update.NMS got utterly trashed for years, and most of said praise is pretty recent. Hell, with the example of CP2077, people are only really praising their comeback because of the fucking anime.
>>719512987For the love of god don't fuck up Light no Fire; it looks like it might have the right mix of fantasy and stuff to do that was my off/on time sink like early minecraft was.
>>719512987Can I land on an asteroid yet
>>719512987i had fun with NMS on release, it was bare bones though and felt like it was too short, i imagine its much better today but i dont feel the need to replay it
>>719515334>Am I now supposed to spend 6 months grinding to afford a new ship?the difficulty settings let you fine-tune how grindy the game is, i recommend taking a glance at them, they're pretty nice imo
>>719513141Cyberpunk went from like a 3/10 to a 6/10 with the updates.
I was permanently banned from GameFaqs for lightly making fun of NMS fanatics when the game launched, im still a little salty about it and I want the game to die.
>>719530368Sean won
So is the Atlas ever gonna die or will he just have 16 seconds to live foreverAll that Void Mother buildup can't be for nothing, right?
>>719528116Yeah but freighters aren't mobile like corvettes, you summon em. You live in the corvette
>nu male skyStill not buying this slop
>>719512987thank god for abandoned mode. who gives a fuck about the lame ass quests and a lame ass story
FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE! WHERE THE HELL IS JOE DANGER 3?!
When that photo of the studio surfaced, I was laughing looking at it and my exgf asked me what's so funny, I explained her the basedhjack open mouth phenomenon but she flat out told me she didn't find it funny. A few days later she broke up with me.
>>719513130so?
>>719530445It’s possible they’ll do something like “pledge your allegiance to the atlas or the atlantid” and you have to do missions depending on which you pick. Kind of like choosing wrathion/sebellian each week in wow 10.0In any case it looks like from our perspectives it’s not over any time soon
>>719519659>>719515652star systems.there is only one solar system, ours.
>>719527921I quit playing when I realized it’s just gathering resources in order to be able to gather more resources. I played in in VR so it was pretty cool for the time I did play
>>719530924So I was right? That's literally just the game? I feel scammed.
>>719530695what the fuck was her fucking problem??
>>719524010Bruno Mars is relevant?
would play it if i could be a skimpy space whore fucking animals but alas.
>>719528885Nothing, which is why he won't tell you what makes the game better now but please buy into the shill's shameless advertising attempt and buy it at full price.
>>719512987People keep coming back to the game because of constant big updates. I doubt many of those right now players are NEW.
>>719512987>mfw so many skins you need to watch Twitch streams to get
>>719530995120 hours logged here.Yep, that's basically the whole game. There's some dishonest faggots trying to claim its a "make your own fun" kind of game, but there's not much of anything to do without a fair amount of grinding FIRST, all of which pretty much revolve around shooting rocks or mining blobs. Also finding all the fun planets that don't look like boring shit is gatekept by 4 tiers of grinding for hyperdrives, one of which is locked behind the end of the storyline.I had some fun. Mainly the honeymoon phase and basebuilding. I wouldn't recommend it.
>>719531275holy based
>>719518367>Light No Firewanna bet they'll repeat every mistake again?
>>719531391catbox the full, king
>>719528885There several insanely drawn out grind systems now.>there was one at launchIt's worse. And there's more.
>>719513141NMS eventually became what they promised, even though what they promised wasn't actually that impressive or interesting. Cyberpunk never became more than a glorified Far Cry game. The bugs were the least of its problems, put people pretend it's really good now, even though it's still mechanically a shallow mess.
>>719512987>>719514757There's been no case of a redemption arc like it actually. Every time there's been a game that promised to deliver something in which it didn't, 99% of the time the developers did nothing but just took the money and then run off. We've seen pic rel happen quite a few times in gaming, but at no point did anyone try to improve what state it was in, but also just put in content that wasn't even originally advertised and created a far bigger scope. NMS is truly something to marvel at in that sense. Some people can nitpick about what the point of the game is, but there's clearly something to do in it. Opposed to the release of nothing to do. In that sense it's now met how it was advertised in most regards.That being said it probably took until 2022-2023ish to get there. People were amazed by just doing some basic work on it way too early in that i thought people were still too overly forgiving towards it from my perspective. Even if Hello Games had still done something practically no one did. It's hard to be cynical towards how it turned out.
>>719518001Going to community lots and raiding their cobalt caches for free money
>>719514757Big made up issue with NMS is people still expect it to become a completely different game because of updates. If you weren't sold early on you won't change your mind on it.
>>719532126As it should, people wanted a gathering crafting exploration game and now they have that with years of upgrades improving the gathering crafting exploring
>>719529931>most of said praise is pretty recentIt's called "paying people to shill for you" anon.
>>719518630>installed Jedi Knight II because it was an "old" game that it could run but I felt embarrassed about it since Crysis was coming out..........what?
>>719513130cost me $14
>>719515334you can make 100s of millions in hours if you know what to do
>>719512987I don't care.I won't and never will buy their games.
>>719513130Sure, it wasn't worth that much money on release but it does worth that much or even more now.
>>719513141>So are this game and Cyberpunk actually "good now"?how susceptible to marketing tactics are you? that's the actual question you should be asking
How's that multiplayer coming along?
>>719533734multiplayer has been in the game for almost a decade
>>719528885With every update they just add new grind modules to the game, like warframe but not cool
>>719525803You retard, that's completely irrelevant. I'm demonstrating a point. Read reviews from the 90's; a game was considered old after 2 years. >People are still playing Diablo 2/Tetris/AOE2/pacman/etc.It didn't used to be like this. People went BACK to those games after a long period of them being abandoned for the newest entry in the series. It's not about insecurity, you fucking moron. How old are you? Were you around in the 20th century when things progressed every single week and people looked forward to the future?

>>719529184You can get to shipbuilding the second you get to a space station. So like 30 minutes fucking around fixing the starter ship to leave the planet. That said ship parts cost money and some you have to find. So you might have to grind a decent amount to build a ship you like. Or do it in creative.

>>719513141Look at it like this. Cyberpunk you have to spend 40 bucks to make it "better"NMS they fixed it all for free.
>>719514757idgaf about their "redemption", they lied about everything like motherfuckers on release. they are forever cunts.
>>719528885The game sucks but they added additional grinding mechanics to try to hide how much it sucks. Like now you can build bases on planets that don't actually have any purpose because your freighter can just do everything a planetside base can do. They added ship customization but it's basically just swapping a couple parts on your ship and you've got to grind crashed ships and pray to the RNG God that they have the part you want. They added corvettes which are fully customizable ships but building a corvette is buggy as shit. Sometimes parts will just randomly disappear from your inventory and you need to buy them again. Also getting parts aside from the basic parts is basically done through a trade offer RNG system. But hey, if you build a corvette you can do space walks. Like you can exit your ship and float around in space in nothing but your suit. Except there's nothing to do in space and it quickly becomes apparent that they didn't really think the whole space walk thing through because if you try to do something like exit your corvette near your freighter and try to enter your freighter via space walk you'll just clip into the freighter's model and possibly get stuck. Haven't tried it with a space station but I'd imagine the same exact thing would happen.
>>719535725So you give them no credit for voluntarily spending ten (10) years improving the game with free expansions despite already earning millions of dollars from the initial launch and everyone constantly shitting on them for exaggerating?
>>719527976If they called it Early Access like every dev does nowadays no one would have batted an eye
>>719537185>improvingThey literally haven't improved anything. They basically just pump out half baked "major updates" that are often broken and add nothing of value to the game so easily manipulated retards like you will go around trying to convince people that it's totally the best game ever now and that they should definitely buy it.Name three things they added that actually improve the game. I can wait.
>>719534843Learn to read dumbass
>>719512987The game has no depth, it's just not fun.
>>719537484VRprocgen updatecorvettes
is this game still shooting rocks simulator? please tell me it's not shooting rocks simulator.
>>719537772only the first few hours
>>719537518learn to read a graph retard
>>719537998What's the word in the little picture above the graph, dumbass
>>719537713>VRFuckadoodledoo. You get to shoot rocks with a laser and scan plants.... BUT IN VR!?>procgen updateDidn't improve anything. Exploring planets still sucks. The issue with planets was and still is that there's nothing to fucking to do on them except zap rocks and scan a few plants, animals, and rocks. That's still the case. Like I said, it's just a meaningless change to fool retards like you into thinking they're fixing the game when they're not. >corvettesShit's so half finished it's not even funny. Building a corvette is a fucking nightmare due to the fact that parts will just randomly disappear from your inventory due to how the parts' rotations are saved or some shit and there's a bug that can cause your entire corvette to disappear altogether. I'll be generous though and give you a C- for effort though.
>>719537772>it's not shooting rocks simulator.It is, unfortunately. But hey, they added a settlement idle game mechanic though so that's something... right?
>>719537772it never stops being one and the getting "better" part is only upgrading your rock clicking
I don’t think the game is really incredible but I think there’s a level of comfiness that I do enjoy. I like it in the same way I like Minecraft: playing for a week or two and then abandoning it for other games, before getting the itch again a few months later.
>>719538204didn't read sorry
>>719512987He blatantly lied for years, and scammed customers. Then tanked the hate and won them around.The lesson here, is lie to customers and scam them because they will forgive you and you will make millions you would never have made if you were honest from the start.
>>719538408>didn't readNah, you read it. You just can't refute my points and you're being a passive aggressive baby about it.
>>719538496>Then tanked the hatechose to tank the hate. he didn't need to. the game earned millions on launch. he could've just dipped.>and won them around.how did he win them over?>they will forgive youwhy did they forgive him?
no mans sky is a pretty good game, but i just wish it had a PC focused interface and not the console interfaceno i DONT wnat to scroll through 40+ 'pages' of my inventory when adding things to the refiner, pleas ejust let me search with a text box or something. fuck consoles.
>>719538650>how did he win them over?>why did they forgive him?Good old buyer's remorse. The game sucks. You lament the fact that it sucks so you blindly latch on to every claim they make that they totally improved the game even though they've done fuck all to improve the game and cover your ears whenever someone points out that the game still sucks.The only people they've won over are easily manipulated retards like you
>>719538553nah I stopped reading after your first sentencethe game is not about shooting rocks and anyone who keeps repeating this has never played the gamesorry not sorry
>>719518949They noticed people aren't gonna jump to different galaxies over and over and would rather stay and build bases long ago
>>719538852i couldn't hear you over your resource notifications, what was that?
>>719538852>the game is not about shooting rocksHow silly of me. I forgot that there's so much more depth to it than that. Allow me to rephrase it. It's a game where you shoot rocks so you can go to other planets to shoot more rocks.
9 years of free updates and no paid dlc in the current gaming industry and somehow the /v/ contrarians are still not happy.
>>719512987you are a retarded subhuman, shill
>>719512987Any other games like NMS? Like space or space exploration games, potentially with some base building or even using the main ship as a base?
>>719539039updates that added literally nothing you retarded subhuman>>719539067>Any other games like NMS?games where you have nothing to do? no idea but starfield is probably 1000 times better than this
>>719512987I don't understand why people play it. The game is still pretty mid. It lacks any sembalnce of balance and progression. Start before you even get to build anything is way too long, you have to spend time going around stupid random POIs digging in random points to unlock different coloured walls, fix pods to get your inventory space up or random bases to even unlock crafting recipes which are rudimentary and you can buy those resources anyway, grind alien interactions to learn the languages.I'm not entirely sure what is supposed to be fun about that game. It's not a very good builder, combat ground and space sucks and exploration is shit because it's randomly generated things spaced out too far to walk. I suppose some gimmick planets look fun on screenshots
>>719539161>I don't understand why people play it.mostly autists and streamers, aka it's just retards
>>719538850>Good old buyer's remorse.shit lazy explanation. literally nobody liked the game on launch. literally everyone hated it. if the updates were complete shit everyone would dogpile them for being complete shit and ride the hatetrain bandwagon.>The game sucks.i played it for the first time last year after hearing about all the updates and it was okay. i was underwhelmed. some of the gameplay loops were fun like the econ and the resources and crafting but the exploration is really weak which really sucks for a space exploration game. you feel more terrain variety in an hour of minecraft. the planets don't feel distinctive enough, it's mostly just different colors and resources.still i think it's cool that they supported the game so much for so long.
>>719518949>Derelict freighters are the closest they have gotten.It still cracks me up how they hyped derelicts up to be like super dangerous ships to explore and how dying in them is super serious because then that derelict ship is gone forever. Except it's basically impossible to die in them. Yeah your environmental protection drains faster but so what? You've basically got hundreds or even thousands of sodium on you at all times plus there's canisters of sodium just floating all over the derelicts. You really don't even need to bother with the heaters throughout the derelicts. Just pop some of your nigh endless supply of sodium when your environmental protection gets low. Also literally none of the threats on derelicts actually pose any threats. Turrets? Just peekaboo them to death. Egg sacs? Just shoot the damn things and then shoot the babies that pop out of them. They deal tickle damage and die in a couple hits so sneaking around egg sacs is pointless. Jellyfish? Just shoot them or ignore them. They can't hurt you unless you touch them and they just drift around slowly and aimlessly so the only way to get damaged by them is to deliberately get damaged by them.
>>719518670no, i do not remember that because i don't watch ecelebsjesus christ, dudedo you ever wonder what went so wrong you started obsessing over the lives of low tier people?how about living your own life?
>>719539236>and it was okayit's ok if you play mobile games you retard>if the updates were complete shit everyone would dogpile themthe updates are shit but the player base are autists
>>719539332>do you ever wonder what went so wrong you started obsessing over the lives of low tier people?ask yourself that you retarded subhuman and why you are here trying to pretend you are better than others while you are a retarded turd
>>719513045The Raped
>>719539110>updates that added literally nothing?You're brown.
>>719515203Clearly underage
>>719512987CoolCan I do things in multiplayer? Last time I checked we couldn't even ride the same kart, we couldn't build a base together as only one person could be the owner, we couldn't be in space in the same ship and the teleports to the bases worked really weird and if you logged off there was a chance that you couldn't teleport to that friend base again if he was offline
>>719539451You're brown pajeet shill you retarded subhuman
>>719512987I kneel.He is a good guy that got fucked up by sony.
>>719539468>Can I do things in multiplayer?that would imply you can do things in the game which is not>>719539503you are a retarded subhuman pajeet
>>719539538Ok, nigger.
>>719539039>9 years of free updates and no paid dlc in the current gaming industry and somehow the /v/ contrarians are still not happy.These updates add absolutely nothing of value to the game and never address the core issues with the game. Christ it's just an endless loop with you shills. You insist that they totally fixed the game and that everyone should be happy, people explain that they haven't fixed the game and what the issues with the game are, then you're right back to insisting that they fixed the game and everyone should be happy.
>>719539572make your thread bumping less obvious pajeet
>>719538650The problem is the message it sends to the world, even if you like him / the game you have to admit it's a terrible precedent and a reason gamers keep getting fucked over.
>>719539468You can ride in a corvette together. The problem is that building a corvette is a nightmare. Basically corvette building is bugged and parts will randomly disappear from your inventory if you add and then remove them. Expect to buy a thunderbird living compartment four times just to place one.
>>719539926the reason this happens is because every time you rotate a piece it becomes a 'different piece' in inventory and wont stack anymore, and doesnt show up in piece picker while buildinghoweveryou can get around this by pressing E while aiming an existing piece to 'duplicate' it. this WILL pull from the 'bugged' items
>>719539680>even if you like the gamei played the game a little. it was okay, there are some fun parts but it disappointing with my expectations after hearing about all the updates. i expected better exploration but that was the weakest part of the game by far.>even if you like himidk, he overhyped the game bigtime but it's nice to release 10 years of free expansions especially when you have zero obligation to do so. especially when you have reasons not to do so, like becoming a multimillionaire overnight and everyone publicly vocally hating on you.>you have to admit it's a terrible precedent and a reason gamers keep getting fucked over.he was wrong to overhype the game but imo it's more gamers' fault for preordering and buying on launch instead of waiting for real information. nobody forced them to buy the game. they chose to do it.
I still dont know what this game is.Is it an open world sandbox kinda like Kenshi or Warband?Does it have factions i can interact with?Can i become a space cowboy and hunt down bandits for bounty?Can i become a space trucker and deliver cargo from one space station to another?Can i become a mercenary and work with one of the factions while they wage war?Can i build my own fleet and become the space pirate?What is this game? Whats there other than base building and RNG worlds?
>>719539475But enough about Slopfield fans
>>719529430>costs 400m to maketoddbros...we are broke...
>>719540071>when you have zero obligation to do so.Oh he's got plenty of obligation to do so. For one thing, NMS tarnished the ever living shit out of Hello Games' name and they've got their upcoming game LNF coming up. Got to rebuild their reputation so that it's not immediately dead on arrival. Then there's the fact that Sean's lies and NMS release were such a shit show the devs were actually receiving death threats. I'd imagine the other developers weren't too happy about that which is some pretty strong motivation for him not to just take the money and run. Also I'd imagine Sony wasn't too pleased with how the game turned out. They made a big show of it at E3 after all. If he'd just pocketed his earnings and left shit as is they probably would have come for his ass.
>>719513849NMS has been in a very odd situation since its launch. I was mostly frustrated each time I tried to engage with it. I’ll spare you the essay and just say this:They had a bad start and wanted to redeem themselves, so they started throwing things at the wall to see what stuck. The problem is, they never stopped, and what was already stuck just crusted over and was never touched again. So now you’ve got a massive pile of stuff on the wall for free, and every fan points at it and says, “Look at this huge pile of content you can play!” Sure, you can’t deny it, but that doesn’t make it less of a pile.In less crude terms: the game has random content attached to it, but nothing truly connects in a meaningful way. Systems were implemented but never expanded, refined, or integrated. The whole automation update they released early on is still the same half-baked system it was at launch, thrown in mostly because Factorio-style games were gaining traction.Overall, the things you can do might be worth its $20–100 price, but it’s frustrating to see so much poured into it without meaningful reworks, interconnection, or any clear plan.I’d even bet two copies of NMS that they’ll barely touch modular ships, and half of the old content won’t interact with them at all. I’d be genuinely surprised if, for example, we got a larger landing platform in bases to actually park a frigate there.P.S. Yes this was the short version.
>>719540274It’s a pile of literal shit they compiled over 9 years. It has shallow, walled-off mechanics that barely touch each other or result in basically the same outcome.Trade can be done, yes, but with dedicated trade commodities that have no other usage. You could trade crafting materials or base resources, but that’s not netting you profit.There is no trucking, as any traveling is done by semi-loading screens to get you everywhere quicker. It’s basically Starfield, but you can press escape anytime and marvel at the emptiness.Travel for trade is also literally circumvented by just porting from station to station and selling everything until the market runs dry. Then you need to look for another random star system with a special tag that dictates what they need and sell, creating a three-step loop of different demand producers.Bounty hunting is tied to quests, so yes, you can do it — but it’s all bare bones. There aren’t really any intricate damage or weapon mechanics. Damage is damage, and that’s it as far as I know.Exploring is also kinda meaningless. Each planet has some attributes, like three minerals, and some have oddities increasing or enabling the spawn of certain items.Most items boil down to “worth money, can sell.” Some are collectible for the sake of collection, others are outright gateways to upgrades and become worthless afterward.The most effective way to negate 99% of the game systems is to find a planet with a certain base resource that’s worth the most, build a clunky mining system where you just place a “drill” in mid-air above a valid “zone” and connect them with literal light beams. Then you just wait until your storage is full — which, by the way, is basically a three-building setup: power (solar, generators, whatever), the drills, storage, that’s it. Sell off your mined resources and have infinite money. Congrats, the game is solved.
I tried NMS 3 times, several years between tries, and couldn't stomach it for more than few hours. And I play a lot of sandbox games. Everything in NMS feels like a chore to do, it gets tiring fast
>>719537185>exaggeratingit was blatant lying, they are less than dirt to me.
>>719539039>here is a pile of shit>oh and here is 9 years of adding more of the same stinking shit just of different color on top of that pile>why are you not happy? we literally fixed everything!
>>719540274i only played like 20 hours so keep that in mind.>What is this game? Whats there other than base building and RNG worlds?planets have different resources. use resources for crafting. acquire different weapons. acquire different upgrades for weapons, armor, ships, vehicles. accrue money to purchase bigger ships.>Is it an open world sandbox kinda like Kenshi or Warband?no but you can fly around galaxies and star systems and visit planets and space stations. flying around was always fun. there are also terrestrial vehicles like buggies which are fun too. planets are mostly empty though. sometimes i saw some cool structures or settlements but a lot of them were copy paste. some of them have npcs walking around and flying ships in and out of the area which was kinda cool. it's also kinda cool how you can go around the whole planet. the lighting changes too. looks nice and can be fun but again the planets are mostly empty.>Does it have factions i can interact with?there are different factions and you have to "learn how to speak their language" to communicate, which encourages you to explore more and find more of them to learn their language. interaction choices were minimal from what i remember.>Can i become a space cowboy and hunt down bandits for bounty?i remember there were proc gen missions for clearing out pirates or robots in specific places. i don't think i saw any bounty hunting mission though.>Can i become a space trucker and deliver cargo from one space station to another?yes. piloting the ships and doing deliveries was a fun part of the game. but i don't know if you can have a fleet of freighters for the trucking. i just did it with my one ship.>Can i become a mercenary and work with one of the factions while they wage war?no. at least i'm pretty sure you can't. i didn't get far with the faction stuff but it didn't seem to me like that would be a thing.
>>719539039it's still just worse minecraft>ALL npcs are glorified word stones>still only 2 enemy types>space combat is still just hold S and fire>literally no new building materials added in 5+ years, still just the same look as subnautica bases>all randomly generated animals look the same
>demo shows beautiful cohesive planets with huge dinosaurs interacting with foliage and each other >released game has a garish random number generator planet with autism potato head creatures with the gripping gameplay of shooting rocksjust no
>>719518670he's a russian jew
>>719515192you reached Euclid's center in less than 5 hours?
>>719531404they're using NMS to test the new game's features
>>719537772>shooting rocksI raid capital ships for my resources
>>719539039it's not /v/it's just a couple of jeets that work for bethesda
Must be fake numbers. No way 100k people are playing this trash.
>>719512987is the latest update really that good? i read that you can now have people inside your ship while you fly
>>719513521Wojaks (white men) will never die and there's nothing you can do about it.
This game is far more boring that it has any right to be.Is it>over reliance on RNG for "progression"Could be, but what else could they use to pad the game out and would it *really* make much more difference?>tie progression (ship upgrades, item/suit upgrades ect) to some faction rep. fex put space weapon upgrades behind pirate reputation or somethingCool but this is still shit because grinding rep is boring af and this system is even more limiting than the RNG one >Achually...The whole game is kinda boring. Even pretending that the shoot lazer into rock part doesn't matter (it does) all the combat is snore fests and the space combat is the worst I have ever seen.no none of the custom settings will fix this.>but even worseexploration is fucking boring It's all just RNG generated, withing safe limits mind you, gotta keep those hands inside the ride at all times afteral, same looking planets that after seeing 20 or so they all start to blend together.Bros... How do we fix NMS?
>>719538901can't you have a base on your ship?
>>719514827Get off of /v/ Todd you have Skyrim 6 to finish
>>719512987Remember when they paid Internet Historian to pretend this game was fun?
>>719513521Creativity, happiness, celebration, success?
>>719512987>game so undercooked it took 9 years for it to become playablehe should be ashamed
>>719545384it was in a good place after like 2 years
>>719513141Cyberpunk plays better but the promises of old school RPG went unfulfilled and its just little bit smoother than the release version. NMS has a lot of content added and they made the game they wanted to make. Dont really like either of those games but cyberpunk is good for 1 playthrough and nms is good if you like wandering and exploring virtual landscapes and doing whatever the fuck you want
>>719512987This game has exactly the same problem as Sea of Thieves which is there was never any game at the center of it all so the developers kept adding arbitrary mechanics and arbitrary collectathons and arbitrary currencies to cover that fact up, but there's still no game there. It's more of a pitch for a video game than it is a video game.
>>719539039Man zoomers and browns really like free shit even if its low quality trash.>hey look they are giving out free used toilet paper guys! how can u complain? ITS FREE!
This worth it on sw2 for like 15 bucks? I really just wanna explore and fuck around in space. Base building and other minecraft ass shit like that doesn't do anything for me.
>>719545878>I really just wanna explore and fuck around in space.15 bucks? yes, maybe. depends what you're expecting. don't expect to see cities or a ton of buildings on planets. if you'd be satisfied without them then i say go for it.check out these screenshots from one of the latest updates.https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/275850/view/631167270993789626 planets also have day night cycles depending on your location on the planet and you can see other planets and stars and shit in the sky. there's not a ton to do on the planets especially if you don't give a shit about base building, but you can still drive around or run around or fly your ship around which are fun.
>>719545652I wish the devs tried to make NMS2, with mechanics from NMS, but also with a game.
>>719515672Yea no
>>719514757Imagine this level of commitment in an actual decent game
>>719543825dont make it so you can only use the spaceship 4 times before you need to refuel it(you have to refuel it in other ways too), give the player access to a scooter or some kind of mobility improvement within the first ~2 hours holy shit the game is so slow
>>719540807they have repeatedly revisited much of the contentmost obvious was base building. At first you could only build in designated areas. Later literally anywhere - but only a few bases. Now functionally unlimited.That is certainly one of the bigger, but underwater exploration and building was launched years back. In worlds they dramatically expanded underwater biomes.Outlaw systems.Settlements.All of it has not only been introduced, but revised. Sometimes repeatedly.What you're saying simply isn't the case.What you SHOULD say is that despite all of the work they have put into ANY of these systems - whether by introduction or revision - it is all still very shallow in its constituent parts.
>>719546998Well you are right. They did re-touch some parts but they still remain horrendously shallow and unconnected in any form or coherence.
>>719514757So basically they released very bare-bones game (while lying about some features being present) and now the slowly trying to finish it?Where's the redemption part?
>>719514827For me the problem isn't that there's no purpose, it's that none of the games systems have any depth or interesting gameplay to them. Everything is just draging icons around in the ugly inventory screen or holding E.
>>719515672
>>719512987When does the expedition come out...
>>719513141It is a marketing stunt because this and Cyberpunk were the only games that got fixedThis is actually fun now to play when a expedition comes out, and Cyberpunk has always been good, just very buggy
>>719531391sauce
>>719545705>Man zoomers and brownsI think you got the wrong board. /pol/ is that way ->
>>719547972Ah yes, posting screenshots of a non-ugly planet, while those are very rare and mostly appear in shitty red systems. You shills have no shame.
>>719548307>Gets destroyed>You are a shill!!!!Kek, get rekt.
>>719548307Well..yea? I'm not going to use screenshots of some barren airless shithole as a wallpaper am i now? Also if i recall other galaxies make paradise planets more plentiful, but that's another can of worms.
>can't be a Human>can't do my usual "Humanity Fuck Yeah!" RP in the gameGame is 0/10 until I can kill Xeno men and fuck their women.
>>719513141No the core gameplay remains shit as it was at the beginning
>>719512987Cheers
>>719539039the game is extremely shallow with every update adding half assed shit but gee thanks i guess
>>719539403this is the ultimate humiliation.
>>719518630this>>719521510mayans are fucking right
>>719531391sauce me NYOW
>>719548510What I mean is that you shills pretend that the game looks good because there is a 1% chance it will generate a planet that's not one huge vomit biome.
>>719531416>>719548206>>719550394it's blacked
>>719551630SAUCE!??!?!
>>719512987Peter Molyneux made 2 good games, black & white and fable. this guy still has a large shoes to fill.
>>719536961So like how the white man colonizes a country and leaves and has to make the niggers pick up the pieces?
What do I do in the game now?
>>719546918You can get a car but you kidna have to know to beeline it, tech tree is semi-hidden and you have to go to the spaceball to see it, you still need to grind caches because it's a lot of tech points and until you gacha a bunch of speed mods it's kinda slow anyway. Also you can only use it on a planet you have a carport on and I think there's a tech that allows it from anywhere but much deeper in.The driving experience is not great either.
>>719514757in all honestly I wish games I play get this amount of content
>>719553358uhhh mine rocks and uhhh mine rocks
>>719552705https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=3840354
>>719553358Did you build your new shiny ship? Time to uninstall and wait for the next morsel of content they shit out
>>719553476I think the fastest way to get a car is to rush the planetary computer quest or whatever it's called. But yeah, the progression is not well designed.
>>719546617Abysmal unrealistic dogshit. Even if it's fantasy, my autism won't let me suspend my disbelief with planets lacking newtonian physics.
GRAV was better, shame they abandoned it
>>719553782Base computer? Yeah it gives you a bunch of unlocks for free but I'm pretty sure it's time gated in real fucking time so you can't rush it. When it tells you to come later, later means like 12h.
