Starfield bros... I don't feel so good...

The enwidening of the puddle.

>>719158857 (OP)
Has every single update in No Man's Sky been free for the past decade if you bought the game at any point? Do they have microtransactions to compensate? I'm out of the loop.

Is there an expedition? No? Then fuck that shit.

>>719159105
I haven’t played in about two years but I only ever bought the base game, and up to that point I got all the updates free. Not sure if they have any micro transactions, but it seems the major updates have all been free, at least up to when I stopped.

>>719159220
Why is this so fucking ugly and badly animated?

>>719158857 (OP)
Didn't they had update in June? Update every 2-3 months is crazy
>>719159105
You can't give them money even if you want to. You buy the game and that's it. The only thing they have is seasons with fomo cosmetic items but its all free

Thank you Sean

I don't know what to do in NMS. The progression system is all fucked.

Good they continue to develop more contents but also kinda sad as the game is now their own prison.

There are no microtransactions but the updates are mostly superficial as a result

>>719159412
Just be yourself! (:

>>719159412
>I don't know what to do in NMS. The progression system is all fucked.

True. Doing replays can be annoying because of the quest system.

>>719158857 (OP)
And why is there no combat
Only some annoying robots and the monsters that respond to taking their eggs

>>719159387
Wasn't refering to Voyagers that shit was two years ago. Refering to my attitude towards No Man Sky. I don't care about updates, I want shit to do in this empty game

>>719159412
This is one of the games where you entertain yourself.
>>719159435
They are working on a new game and the updates for nms are quite small. Somehow it's still enough to humiliate all the competitors
>>719159583
This game is just not for you and it's fine

WAOW more useless fluff for a dull survival crafting game

did they ever add custom building for regular space planes?

>>719160281

Their leadership probably doesn't take 99% of profits for themselves and instead just pay a livable wage to everyone.
Or they put all of it into stocks and now coast on the gains, idk.

>>719158857 (OP)
Going to be as big as GTA 6

>>719159954
If you think Starfield is shit but No Man's Sky is good then you have the mental illness. They are practically the same gameplay wise. They ate both objectively shit yet you think NMS is good.

>>719160508
You are brown.

>>719158857 (OP)
Is the game what it said it was going to be in the trailer yet?

Just started NMS. I don't know what Im doing but it's fun exploring. Game sounds good, looks good. How do I figure out stuff ? Tutorial is cryptic at best.

>>719160416
>still can't disassemble Sentinel ships and build them from scratch

>>719160645
Do tutorial til you get off the first planet and warp to a new star system, then just do whatever the fuck. Quests and missions will sort of just arrive at certain points.
Once you unlock a summonable space station, then you're free to do whatever.

>>719160608

They have a new game they're going to release, so continuing to add content to NMS (after it's disappointing release) is a way to build goodwill for the company and increase sales for their next game.

>>719160920
Well that's one of the things that was promised
I still don't understand how the game reached this level of lies. The developers eventually turned out to be decent and are still working on the game without even receiving a monetary reward.

>so continuing to add content to NMS (after it's disappointing release) is a way to build goodwill for the company and increase sales for their next game
They started working on a new game quite recently. Meanwhile NMS was released almost 10 years ago

>>719161169
Sean and the rest had no concept of how marketing works. It’s possible that they really did plan some kind of MMO esque multiplayer but eventually scrapped it.
Really the biggest problem was that Sony started promoting the game as some kind of massive AAA project.

>>719160683
Holy shit I can't wait to do this in VR

>>719160485
Hell of a dream there.

>>719158857 (OP)
Why would you want a corvette if there's no space battles worthy of that name in NMS?
Just for flexing?

Maybe. Maybe. But no amount of imagination will let you go swimming in it

>>719158857 (OP)
Still a shame that flying, shooting and doing missions isn't fun. Also a shame that all the planets look like crap. But man there's a bunch if stuff to craft i guess.

>>719161153
Even if goodwill, they still need to make money

Not sure if it's interesting or not

the dedication they've shown to improving the game is really great. too bad it's just boring as fuck though

>>719158857 (OP)
Did they actually delivered on all the stuff they promised before release?

>>719160645
the tutorial is the worst, slowest part. by the time you have hyperdrive and access to the main hub, the game throws 3 main quests at you and there's a million things to do

>All this talk about how many updates NMS got
>Try it out
>Nothing to do except hop to different colored planets to see different colored hills and plants

Did I accidentally download the release version or am I getting memed on? This game looks like the definition of wide as an ocean and shallow as a puddle.

>>719159105
yes. no. that's okay, way too much shit to be expected to keep up on all of it

>>719159534
hostile alien creatures sure are way more rare than they once were

>>719161281
>quite recently
it was announced like 3 yrs ago already

>>719162045
A lot of people don't say it or realize it but the only reason they can make so many updates is because the models, animations and shit are so basic. Gas planets was hyped. You know what gas planets actually are? Regular planets with storms on them. And half their updates are just making their shitty features into basic features, like settlements.

It gets sadder because when they actually do walkable ship interiors, that's what they consider their biggest and hardest update. Sean wouldn't shut up about how hard this was. A feature Starfield had day one.

>>719162045
>can name different colored planets and their inhabitants dumb names for anyone to see

>>719158857 (OP)
Sounds comfy. I never cared about the big freighter mechanics, but I loved collecting ships might have to check this out. I will probably drop it right away though once I remember how all of the new mechanics are five minutes worth of content stretched into 10 hours of dragging mats around a menu

>>719162474
>A feature Starfield had day one.
'day one' of starfield has been a decade long, then

I have a maxed out staff, starship and exosuit.
Anything fun to do?

>>719162692
Don't matter. How long did NMS players have to wait for this? 9 years. 9 years playing a game where you couldn't even roam your ship.

>>719162474
shartfield still doesn't have seemless ground to space without loading screens which was in NMS day one

>>719162474
The only other game that does smooth transition from earth to space is star citizen.
If you can't do that you're a fucking shit game by default and the whole fantasy and immersion is broken.

>>719158857 (OP)
this will be awesome in vr

>>719162881
>look at every game with seamless ground to space
>NMS with different colored planets that are just one hazard plus blue plant, red plant, yellow plant

At this point seamless ground to space is a red flag.

As one of the three people who actually likes Starfield I'm not even mad. True and full space exploration is a pipe dream genre still. Total WIP. It's why all these games feel like betas. It's why some of them are still betas. The impossible content necessary to make this work and the sacrifices each feature has to make is insane. You want seamless? Enjoy low quality planets that have nothing on them or are just a slapped together asset junkyard. Want a lot of aliens to kill? Enjoy almost none of them having unique stats or attacks. Want stuff to do? It's going to have be 90% random procgen quests and 10% uninteresting main quests.

>>719163509
Fuck off Todd

>Multiplayer shit and different colors again

Ok so it's like a dress up game.

I don't even care about lies or broken promises. What's there in the game is disspointing and tiresome after first several hours.

I was tempted to describe NMS as a sandbox but people forget that literal sandboxes have sand and sand has all kinds of shit you can do with it. NMS is just a bunch of boring progression lines with a dull procgen setting. You will never have a "bucket over the npc" head moment or redstone fuckery. It's a sandbox the same way Terraria is "open world".

How fast does it take you to reach 100m units

even though this is not really the thread for it ...

post yfw you didn't fall for Scam Shitizen.

>>719164394
I never buy early access or beta anything. I know this genre of space exploration is a fucking pipedream and any basic knowledge of game development is a sufficient warning of what SC was always going to be.

>>719159026
Define depth in the context of games.
I assume you can't.
Because games can't have depth.

>>719164145
>>719164023
>>719163723
I thought about buying it, is that gameplay from the release really the same to this day?
Just mindless mining rocks and eventually shooting shit?

>>719162796
when did they put staves in the game?
I should check it out again.
been a while.

>>719164793
yes
the gameplay loop is literally the same, the only difference is what you can put your resources towards

Do planets actually have interesting points of interest to explore?
Are derelict freighters actually interesting?
Does base building actual practical purposes now?
There answer to all three of these is no. The game still fucking sucks. Add some actual meaningful content instead of bullshit fluff designed to hide the fact that the core gameplay is ultimately garbage

>>719164793
They had a few updates so that the drones you shoot aren't as boring, but they still suck and have no depth. For a game about galactic exploration, the earlier updates were about base buildings. They then added bigger ships and more stuff to the planets. But youre doing the same shit. Shoot rock with laser. But now youre doing it with a pet alien!

>>719164394
I spent 100 bucks on it in 2013. I think I missed my chance to sell my account since the hame is currently imploding. Im okay with the $100 though since I've had plenty of 'fun' in the last 12 years.>>719164343

>>719164793
There are more side activities now and random events to spice things up but at its core it's the some boring game. You can disable grind by choosing Creative Mode but it only exposes how shallow the game is.

>>719158857 (OP)
nah, I played this game on release day and it was shit

>>719158857 (OP)
With no man's sky and starfield I'm spoiled with amazing innovative space games. Happy to see passionate devs keep delivering.

>>719164793
None of that has changed. All these updates have added stuff on top of it to do but that's going to be a big part of what you do. The tutorial is almost the exact same as day one. Everything still requires fuel, which is what forces you to keep lasering and picking up flowers. It's all about getting these resources to then do something basic like make food to feed a creature and then mount it. Or make better pulse engine modifications. Or build another floor to your house. Surface combat is still horrible. Ship combat is serviceable but there's no depth and it's not hard to take on a sentinel cruiser ship very early on with zero worries. The aliens are retarded, you'll quickly notice and feel the samey design of each planet. To me the game is best played as an asset library you're physically checking out, a garbage bin you feel curious rummaging through.

>>719158857 (OP)
They have my attention, among the many many ways Starfield disappointed me ship customization and in particular interior customization was probably the biggest one, it was the thing I was most excited for, I will grant that it was cool how you could stand up from your seat in space and battles and shit still happened around you but it sounds like this has the same thing so totally replaces Starfield there as well with the added bonus of autopilot over some actual flight distance

>>719163509
Dont worry anon, I love starfield too. it's one of the best space games ever made and I'm hyped for the upcoming DLC for it.

>>719165298
I know better than to genuinely discuss enjoying Starfield on /v/. Only time this place had anything positive to say was when they thought there was an underage companion they could fuck in the game. Starfield-chan they called her.

>>719162881
That's starfields one saving grace, it's not so bad in NMS but in a more slightly grounded game with Starfield we see why that's a good thing by looking at Elite Dangerous

>>719158857 (OP)
wide as the ocean, deep as a puddle, miss me with that shit

>>719164992
Funny thing about the base building update is just how pointless it is. You get a freighter early on that can basically do everything a base can do plus it's actually mobile. You really don't have any real incentive to stay on any one planet for longer than 20 minutes tops. Sure there's points of interests but they all consist of the same handful of two room buildings repeated over and over again. You're generally just going to land, mine some resources, then fuck off back into space, maybe use a few of those translation stones, and use map nav points to go to a few points of interest before fucking off back to space. Hell, you don't even have much incentive to use exo-vehicles because getting around in your ship is faster and less janky.

>>719165597
That's what killed me when the game came out. People were begging for the landing sequences from ED. Then someone posted a video comparing ED to Starfield and after seeing the 8 minute process of seeing a planet and finally being on it it was total silence. I think now most people agree it would be nice as an option but it's clear that the planets have to be PS2 quality in terms of content to make it work at all.

>>719159105
There is only the base game, no in game shop or microtransactions.
What they have done is incredible. But and it is a big ol' Jamaican chocolate BUTT, the game is still inventory management; unlock broken slots in your suit, on your tool, and your ship and other vehicles, and expand your maximum number of slots therein. That is basically what the real gameplay is.
For that you must gather resources, craft and fly around and all that.
It is pretty fun in a casual comfy way though

>>719162045
That's true but its width is a good thing if it's what you're looking for. I got a good hundred hours of entertainment out of it just because I was in the mood for roaming the galaxy, I wanted more uncharted worlds from Mass Effect but didn't want to replay that and here I got what I wanted. I know some people treat it like a live service game you HAVE to play for thousands of hours and deplete every bit of content possible, that would get extremely boring. It's not a life sim game. I just used it to scratch an itch I had at the moment, did most of the stuff that's available, did some expedition with a friend and then put the game away for now.

>>719165698
NMS somehow made planets one of the most boring pieces of content possible. Each planet feels like a curious trip down the international aisle at a grocery store. You feel like you're going to find some neat shit but then you realize it's fucking candy, taco sauce and curry. Maybe one cool thing here or there but not enough to keep you interested. Pop in, pop out. Next aisle.

>>719165962
most planets in this universe are inherently boring by default

>>719166223
What does that have to do with NMS? NMS makes up aliens and plants and biomes to fill the planets. The problem is what they make up and how you interact with it is boring.

>>719166223
That's a piss poor excuse, pretty much the same excuse Bethesda made in defense of how dull and lifelesd Starfield was. Ironic given how NMS shills are constantly comparing it to Starfield.

>>719165859
I love most sandbox games, I love exploring and base building and looting. This game manages to suck out all the fun by making it all procedurally generated content.

>>719166634
Ever landed on a planet and saw a deer head goat ass pig body chimera called Fuloximoppolimgo? Ever scan 16 variations of the same rock? How about doing that 852 more times on a thousand worlds? That's the adventure that awaits you in NMS.

>>719159354
It's probably from that League of Legends garbage that people can't shut up about

>>719166223
Most planets in this universe with kill you instantly.

>>719161845
I mean, this IS the base problem. There's so much content, but it's so heavily recycled in the actual gameplay loop, and at the end of the day it's still not very fun. The shame of it is they're just a few small tweaks from it being awesome. Just being able to properly re-map the controls could make such a huge difference in starship dogfights because I could make it feel like ace combat immediately. The FOV on the starships is ASS, i can barely see out of the cockpit, the render distance on planet is ass, so I can't see anything on the ground from my ship unless I'm pointed straight down and constantly colliding with the ground. The starships are awkward to pilot and they don't have to be. They've added so much core content, but there's no actual variety. For example, every pirate dreadnaught encounter is identical; how hard would it be to make a few additional models and to randomize the position of the dreadnaught relative to the civ fleet? So much of the core is there, you can do ALL the things you want to do in a space game but it's superficial because it's all the same. You warp to a new system, land on the planet with the icon, pop up the scanner, walk 345u towards the target, put three items from the target into your inventory, provide three items to the target from your inventory, return to mission NPC. It's so bizarre that the game is fully procedurally generated with literally billions of possible iterations and simultaneously you start to recognize every single asset as being heavily recycled. Luckily, it's cheap.

>>719160485
lmfao this is next level delusion. they have to know by now that the majority of fans they have left are the biggest of whales neck deep in the sunk cost fallacy, right? the only thing a star citizen or squadron release date announcement will do is show how many people they have driven away with this embezzlement scheme.

Wdym there is open world multiplayer
It's just that the universe has 18 quintillion planets so you won't find many players just by randomly exploring (it has happened before tho)
You could always join a multiplayer hub system and engage in multiplayer there

I understand that the core gameplay is still the same liquid diarrhea shit as it was ten years ago, but holy shit do I want to give it another try.

I don't disagree when people call it shallow, but I think it's fun. It's not for everyone but if you know what you're getting into it's a good time. Out of all the space games on the market today only Starmade gave me this much enjoyment, and that game is abandoned by now.

NMS doesn't seem to have ever reduced their price or go over 60% sales, so maybe enough money trickles in to keep them afloat.

Kek, literally a flying commie block.

>>719165698
It's insane to me that there's so much effort put into exocrafts and they're completely useless in the current game. I think the problem is that yes
>>719165962
The planets feel boring, I want to get off planet almost as soon as I land. I've heard that launch fuel used to be way more difficult to acquire, which probably made exocrafts useful for getting around. The problem is that the procedurally generated planets are not exocraft friendly, there's too much shit in the way of driving so it's slow as fuck and they always get stuck. There's arguably a whole subset of untouched gameplay specially since there's some support for building race tracks.
Weirdly enough, if they made launch resources scarce enough and spaced out the plants and rocks enough that you could actually drive, base building and exocraft usage would probably rejoin the meta. I think maybe part of why the game feels samey is that fuel is too cheap. You shouldn't be seeing every planet all at once and popping into a new space station every 5 minutes. Fast travel ruins a lot of games, and you actually miss a lot of content because you rip past it. If you were stuck in one system until you established a power grid so you could efficiently manufacture hyperdrive fuel, the game would probably be a bit more satisfying. Almost all of the game's content can be experienced in a small interconnected star cluster with a central system that you would consistently go back to for fuel, and the main mission would actually take time because you would have to re-establish in a new system when you went through a portal. Can you imagine how much more complex the game would be if your ship didn't just come with you every time you went through a portal? At a point quality of life features incentivize you to skip the game.

Which one's the scam game? They arr rook same

>>719169596
Starfield.

>>719169435
And alternatives for common resources. I understand all the fuel types need to be available but when I go to a world marked as Barren and Abandoned, I shouldn't see the same three colored plants scattered everywhere. Having variation and having the traveling be harder with more gameplay systems attached to it would help immensely.

>>719158857 (OP)
Why does the ship look almost like the one you get in Starfield?

>>719158857 (OP)
Cool they're still updating it. However, I'll never get the obsession with the game. You funneled really time consuming progression mechanics into a game with nothing fucking happening, and it still looks like complete shit even after whatever upgrades they did last year. Hope their new game is good since they have all this tech to use.

To be fair you have to have a pretty high IQ to enjoy this game to the fullest

Same as always

I'm still pissed about hearing they were adding things like encountering derelicts in space and raiding them as part of missions, fighting what's inside, and then apparently the actual content of it is less than nothing. I was hoping at the least to get a basic reusable mission structure like Warframe, or if they were actually good, having something as great as the Wrecks in Barotrauma, but no. It's just a feature to put on the back of the box that doesn't actually do anything.

Nice try but you know it's more true of Sean. He's still beating his fanbase with promises he can't keep like:
>Sean Murray says the Earth-sized planet in Light No Fire will have 'real oceans' that players will need 'large boats and crews' to cross
Dimes to Donuts those "real oceans" will be just deep lakes like in NMS with a handfull of proc-gen critters and plants you can just fly over with your ship... I mean Dragon mount like in NMS. No chance it'll be Black Flag but in the NMS engine

>>719165464
Well, it's a shit game. What do you expect?

>>719173093
Go to the Ungdella VI system. Go to the large gas giant called Mulep Li. At night a barbed tongue devil alien called Zedliono shows up and pins you down and mines your anal cavities for lofty gold. Zedliono is thorough. Rub Nygorian grease along your rimhole and butter your ass. Otherwise you feel godless agony.

>Do the same boring shit again but in a slightly different way and there's a few more bars to fill, checklists to check, tickboxes to tick
i already have a job thank you, the game sucked day 1 and it sucks now, you're not fooling me

>>719169435
>you actually miss a lot of content because you rip past it.
Part of the real problem is you've got no incentive not to rip past a lot of the content. All the points of interests are just so boring. What's this? A derelict building? Oh wait, it only consists of two rooms with a bunch of junk and a terminal I can interact with to get some lore and a paltry amount of nanite clusters. Also I've seen that same exact building six million times now.
What's this? A manufacturing facility for sentinels with sentinels flying around it that'll turn hostile as soon as I blow the door down? Oh wait it only consists of like 3 rooms with nothing but junk in them and a terminal I can interact with to solve a simple puzzle. Also I've seen this same exact building six million times already and solved the same puzzle just as many times. Also the sentinels stop giving a shit if I blow the door down and then go hide in a hole in the ground for a moment until my NMS equivalent of GTA's wanted level drops then I can just do that and then waltz in without them actually giving a fuck.
Basically nothing on the planets warrants extensive exploration. If they'd actually add shit like complex structures and derelict buildings with actual danger it would go a long way towards fixing the game's core issues but they're ultimately too lazy to do that.
Same kind of goes for derelict freighters. They build it up like you're exploring some super deadly procedurally generated ship but ultimately they just consist of a simple linear path and absolutely nothing in them poses any threat.

>>719173506
Chode suckers like you really frustrate me.

>>719173641

They're basically a symbol of status. They look sleek, they're expensive, and there's exclusive clubs centered around them full of snobs with more money than they know what to do with

what the fuck

They should've scrapped the "realistic" setting early into production and shifted to Mass Effect style world.

>>719167002
It is
And it's not garbage, season 1 is extremely good (season 2 is OK at best)

>>719158857 (OP)
Do they have proper ship interiors for all the ships?
If not then I simply don't care.

>>719176310
The game literally works in VR. How can it work without interiors?

im waiting for the game to be 'finished' before replaying it. last time i played it was like 4 or 5 years ago. also is there a way to get all the season pass exclusive items? i heard with a save editor but how easy is it to do?

>>719176649
It will most likely never be finished because the technical part of the updates is based on their new game. They can just release mirror updates for both games if they want to

Woah how amazing, and interesting too
In this digital space game what can we do?
Hey that's a good question, and it's up to you!
In this digital space game there's only three things to do!
Wow look a green planet
Empty buildings!
Leave the planet, hey this fun!
Wow look a brown planet
Empty buildings!
Leave the planet, hey this is fun!
Wow look a blue planet
Empty buildings!
Leave the planet, hey this is fun!
Nothing.
Empty buildings!
Leave the planet, hey this is fun!
Nothing.

free
sean made so much money in one year that he never has to charge for another game, ever

>>719161503
what tier of gpu do you need to run this at stable 90 fps?

I got it for free years ago and dropped it after like 10 hours. I got bored quickly after getting to the second planet and just seeing the same shit to collect. Maybe it's not fair to drop it that early and I need to give it a fair chance after all these updates, though. However I also see that no one on my Steam friends list has over 100 hours in the game, it's just hard to assume it's anything spectacular even now.

>>719167395
its like that giant sims 1 house at the top of the hill

>>719158857 (OP)
Why do they keep adding all this meaningless shit to the game when the ships still feel like they fell out of a university students first unity project, the on foot exploration and combat feels even worse. This might be the most polished turd in videogame history

>>719159105
It's free but it's all shit.

At this point NMS is just a testing ground for Light No Fire.

God, I really fucking hope that game will be good.

I tried NMS, but I'm not a fan of survival crafting and the procedurally generated planets feel so fucking soulless.

>>719176649
very easy, i remember quickly doing it to get the Normandy in my fleet along with whatever rewards there were from expedition & streams or whatever

>>719178739
Depends on the resolution you set the game at. On my 4080 at medium settings and 3000x3000 per eye on most planets I hover around 80fps

The flight model and space combat in NMS are still god awful. As Freespace 2 enjoyer I just can't force myself to play it. I would take at least level of 88 Flak (freelancer mode) but not this.

>>719179874
damn, even with framegen?

>>719180053
If you're talking about retroprojection then I never use it except for MSFS because it's badly supported on PC games

>>719160683
None of this is exciting once you remember there's nothing to do in space, flying your ship feels shit and combat is even worse.

>>719165240
You don't really have to farm mats anymore. You can literally just trade for everything. If you want to focus entirely on freighter shit and missions you can. It's a viable option. I think it's boring as fuck, but you can do it.

>>719180168
I mean regular nvidia frame generation tech, does it not work in vr?

>>719158857 (OP)
>Star Citizen
???

>>719180295
Ah no this doesn't work. We've got our own framegen tech but it's more about interpolating between real frames

>>719172807
Have fun swimming in your 1 million miles of puddle.

>>719180050
Have they seriously never expressed any desire to improve it? It's baffling that they put 10 years of continuous effort into the game while never touching the shit that actually matters.

did they ever make a hardcore survival mode or something that adds any degree of urgency/danger to the game? Last I played it felt like a virtual open house tour for a whole universe.

>>719167395
Is this a Factorio reference

>>719180826
no but I hope they do.
Procedurally generated enemies seem like a no brainer.
We have predators but they aren't dangerous enough

>>719180826
there's been a permadeath mode for a few years now, even custom world setting to make it even harder(or easier)
but the core is still the same.
you're still more liable to die to some zip glitch than an enemy killing you.

>>719180826
You just reminded me of Starbound, nah I'm kidding, fuck Starbound. I was thinking about Astroneer, it was a neat game in early access, but they pulled out the same trick before releasing 1.0 and removed every single urgency mechanic from the game and now it's just a casual boring sandbox for the housewives.

>>719180620
The main audience doesn't care I suppose.

>>719168412

What is that? Why is it using broken Cyrillic?

>>719183094
Exactly. I know it will be shit but it still looks so tempting.

those niggas still keep updating the game

lol lmao even kek even

>>719184913

They're making a new game and using the same engine for it, so every time they update a feature in the new game they throw it in this game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdkt2rDKnAE

I really like the concept of the game and travelling across planets seamlessly without menus like starfield
but it's a huge wasted potential, all these years of updates and the core gameplay is still the same, you just laser rocks to build upgrades to laser rocks in other planets

>>719163590
no, not different colored ship. different classes and size of ship with different functionality.
And one of the earliest things you can build in a base is a teleporter which allows you to access it from any other teleporter in the universe

>>719184913
and yet they still havent fixed the fucking base gameplay being garbage

>>719187795
They haven't figured out anything gameplay related.

>>719187795

That's not the biggest problem the game has.

The problem is that the game experience isn't visceral. You may get attacked by sentinels, and there may be specific worlds that you can taken to which has tense fights, but the whole point of having a big universe to explore is that you find the horrors out there on your own, that they surprise you.

That doesn't mean remove the scripted battles that you can go to through the hub, but have some procedural and rewarding boss fights out on the worlds to seek out, scan for and engage with.

>>719160683
NMS devs can't keep shitting on Starfield like this.

NO NO NO NO, I WILL RAPE YOU BITCH, STOP REDEEMING NO MANS SKY, BUY SAARFIELD!!!1!

>>719183216
>Why is it using broken Cyrillic?
Style

>>719169435
Maybe they should add shit to actually do on the planets other than farming the stuff needed to get the fuck off of it.
