>No Mans Sky just copy pasted Starfield then made it good
Its official, NMS is the ultimate space game.

SAAR, REDEEM THE STARFILED, I WILL LOSE MY JOB

What did they copy

>>719206785 (OP)
It's the ultimate space sim.
It still never figured out the "game" part.

>>719206879
Walkable ship interiors, fully customizable on the inside and outside, zero g space suit flying. Its literally like Starfields ship customization but better in every way.

>>719206860
Are you a Paki? No white person thinks about Indians this much.

>>719206894
Truthfully most video games are just novelty simulators with poor or nonexistent game design.

is there a point to all of it yet? that was my biggest ick about it.
like cool i can
>build this sub and go in the ocean to.......scan more plants
>build this ship and fly to this new planet to......scan more rocks
>make this decked out gun to.....mine more resources

what is the game loop?

>made it good
So it's no longer about going into recolored planets to shoot rocks?

>>719208572
Okay, I guess you're just retarded. No worries.

>>719206785 (OP)
i appreciate that but the game runs like complete utter dogshit since the worlds update, and i have no idea how to fix it
my base is suddenly unplayable
fuck you sean you jebena retardirana pizda

>>719208249
Nobody brings Pakis but Jets

>>719208496
For me I just play the expedition quests when they're up since they have real goals and collecting/making rare ships if I feel like playing outside of that time frame. Other than that I mostly agree it's a lot of half baked ideas thrown together and I don't get how people can play hundreds of hours single player after doing the stories.

>>719208943
Yeah, we got it, you're a Paki. Now stop shitting up the board.

But can I get a qt alien wife?

>>719206785 (OP)
i appreciate how much this game has been changed/updated/reworked/etc. but at some point they should take all the lessons they learned and just make nms2

>>719206785 (OP)
Starfield is still the better game because it's an actual RPG over the shoot rocks gameplay they never improved upon in NMS. Good on the devs for updating the game though.

>>719209028
Coping hard today, isn't it? Rajesh?

>>719209256
I'd rather have a good/above average rock shooter than an absolute, bottom of the barrel rpg.

>>719209256
the resource collection feels too constraining. at the very least you should be able to do quests that instantly reward you with materials to warp to new worlds.

>>719209375
Starfield is a god tier RPG though. Excellent role playing systems while having some of the space parts suffer.

>>719209256
>it's an actual RPG
You don't know what an RPG actually looks like.

You need therapy for your obsession you mentally ill retard. How the fuck is a supposed white man letting Indians live rent free in his head? Fucking embarrassing permavirgin behavior.

>>719206785 (OP)
>then made it good
No they didn't. They just added more filler bullshit. They've done nothing to make planets actually interesting explore. They've done nothing to make combat fun. They've done nothing to balance exocraft so that there's a reason to use them to get them around. They've done nothing to give you any reason to build a planetside base instead of just using your freighter which serves every purpose a planetside base does except mobile. They've added nothing meaningful as far as points of interests go. They've done nothing to make derelict freighters actually challenging and fun to explore. Combat still sucks cock despite their attempts to "fix" it.
This happens every time the devs throw out some half assed update. They just add meaningless fluff without doing anything to address the actual issues with the game and then retards like you eat it up while covering your ears and screaming "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" when anyone points it out.
Now's the part where you ditch this thread to make a new one, try to samefag and scream about how awesome the update is in order to bury my post, or just reply with "tl;dr" because you can't come up with any justifications for them ignoring the numerous issues with the core gameplay. Take your pick, it happens every time they release an update and it's always plays out the same.

NTA, but he is not wrong. You can fuck off and be an explorer which is the base game gameplay loop before updates. Dive into caves and find dinosaur bones as an archeologist. Be a humble space Jew and buy low in one system and sell high in another. Be a different kind of space Jew and be a landlord to a bunch of goyim alien settlements. Be a space pirate and have a squadron of bros you attack and loot freighters with. There are a lot of dumb(to me) but very fleshed out systems now that let you RP as different space professions

Its a good game if you just want something pretty with lots of directions to go in, nothing actually 'matters' in a manner of speaking.

It is as mindless as Minecraft, but more directionless than Terraria for example.

If you like "make your own fun" games it will be a VERY fun game. Genuinely the best space simulator ever made. If you just play the story you'll probably be done in 4 hours.

Just proving my point. The game sucks but you'll still insist it doesn't suck even though you can't actually justify everything that sucks about it.
>>719210117
The fact that they keep comparing it to Starfield like it's some massive competition is kind of hilarious. It's well known that Starfield is a steaming pile of shit. Same goes for NMS, it's just a pile of shit. Yet every time Hello adds another log to that pile of shit the retards who fall for their bullshit feel the need to run up to everyone screaming about how they've got to check out this pile of shit and how much cooler it is then that other pile of shit.

>>719210805
You'll be waiting till the game comes out then. Those two things will be last for sure.

I mean that applies to all the other big space games as well. Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Starfield, No Man's Sky. It's all the same kind of shit from a different flavor of asshole, competing to be the prettiest shit in the shitpile.

>>719206785 (OP)
One of my problems with No Man's Sky is that it's really ugly. The ships, spacesuits, aliens, space, planets, water, terrain, everything looks ugly. I get it's proc gen and all, but still. I play Starsector sometimes, and despite that game being only 2D and limited in perspective it's far more pretty.

As soon as it told me I had to farm ship parts on planets I noped the fuck out of the game.
>>719208549
You have to visit planets to get ship parts.
>>719210112
NMS is actually fun compared to Elite Dangerous which is barely even a fun game

You can do this in NMS, as of the Outlaws update

Every point you listed as things you can RP as in Saarfield you can also do in NMS. The only thing NMS is missing is combat encounters with humanoid NPCs on foot, and maybe RPG leveling if that's something you even really care about (you shouldn't, because Bethesda doesn't and makes it suck in their new games. Sentinels exist for ground-based combat, but they don't scratch the same itch as NPCs in outposts with loot to find.

There's no real reason to ever play Shartfield, because everything else in NMS is an objective improvement.

>>719209878
>he says, as if he doesn't come here every day anyway

>>719208496
Yeah there's all sorts of combat vs sentinels stuff to gear your loadout for and a more fleshed out storyline. The expeditions are still exactly as you described though and the exclusive cosmetic rewards for that sweet NMS clout aren't worth it.

>>719212806
>Sentinels exist for ground-based combat,
Except fighting sentinels is just really tedious, primarily due to a combination of the drones constantly healing other sentinels and the fact that the game uses a wanted system that causes them to basically spawn endlessly until you either max out the wanted level and kill the final wave or hide in a hole until they just fuck off.

Difficulty sliders and creative mode have been around for several years now and retards are still complaining about having to shoot at rocks.

>>719206894
Well, to be fair, it markets itself as Space Sim not a Space Game.

>>719213420
>take away the core mechanic of the game
congrats it went from shit to mid. still not gonna play it.

>>719213495
And you're still here replying.
Go back and cry in the corner and shit yourself.

>>719213574
you're out here fuming over any form of criticism. the harsh reality is that it is tedious to play because it puts up unfun barriers to do any kind of exploration or travel, which is already boring as is. of all the criticism starfield got it was smart enough to not make it a full on chore to warp to places, even if those places were desolate at times.

Everytime I try to play this when a new update happens I start a new run and get disgusted by the stupid ai voice. Is there a way to change it?

>>719213738
>tedious to play because it puts up unfun barriers to do any kind of exploration or travel
Default progression is slow, that is true. But then, tinkering with the difficulty sliders means that I still get the need to explore and gather, but instead of something taking 15 minutes, now it's only 5 minutes so progression is much smoother, especially considering the amount of content they've been adding throughout the years (though I'd argue that quite a few of them are not worth experiencing, like the last Beacon update).
>Starfield
I feel like they're not even in the same ballpark. I've always thought of NMS as space Minecraft, and Starfield as just another Bethesda RPG in a space setting.

>>719213890
Yes

>>719213890
>>719214195
Yes. They've added that option in the last update. Check your settings.

>>719212617
NMS is a space exploration survival game.

>>719210805
>>719210743
>>719210686
Amusingly there was news, they tucked it in the end of the NMS update video. Boats are confirmed in light no fires and they use the same building mechanics as NMS, which means you can build any ship you want and use it as a base/fill it with your friends (if you have any lol)

>>719212617
You bitch about something that becomes a non-issue after you leave the first planet

>>719214118
Starfield was supposed to be more like a survival crafting sim where'd harvest your own fuel and build your own space ship parts but those features, along with super cruise, got scrapped. It ended up being just another Bethesda game but in space

>>719213574
The core gameplay consists of going to planets to dig rocks to go to planets to dig more rocks to go to planets to dig more rocks. You're telling him to remove the core aspect of the game. What meaningful gameplay do you have left once you remove that? It sure as shit isn't exploring planets because there's absolutely nothing interesting to explore. Points of interests on planets generally just consist of nothing but 1-3 room structures with nothing of real interest inside, just junk, a handful of nanites, and maybe a mediocre upgrade module. The only exceptions being crashed freighters which use the same exact design so once you've seen one you've seen them all as well as crashed ships since they present an opportunity to get a new ship as long as you don't mind fetching a bunch of shit to repair them. It sure as shit isn't exploring derelicts because they just consist of linear corridors with sleep inducing threats, plus you can only do them once a day unless you want to shell out a shit ton of credits for an additional nav coordinate. It sure as shit isn't space combat because that shit's a joke with how simplistic it is and is even a bigger joke by the fact that you can just repair your shields at any time by just popping some of the hundreds if not thousands of sodium you're constantly swimming in.
Keep crying and pretending the game's fixed while sucking Sean's cock though.

>>719206785 (OP)
The only way to make NMS better is to completely rehaul the menu UI, it's always been a fucking nightmare.

No Man's Sky is an amazing game but some people are still absolutely butthurt about it.

>>719214382
Starfield was meant to have actual survival mechanics like being able to run out of fuel when you were going to the uninhabited parts of the universe. It would've given a purpose to building bases.

>>719213890
You can turn it off or switch it to a male voice. What they really need to do is add an option to reduce or turn off all the notifications in the bottom right corner.

It took you how long to figure out that Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen and No Mans Sky are all the same thing? Space is just boring empty nothingness. And generic scifi (i.e. every space game ever) is always going to be shit.

You fags always say "OMG IMAGINE A WHOLE GALAXY AND PLANETS AND STUFF ON THEM AND MINING AND CRAFTING AND BOUNTY HUNTING AND WARS AND AND AND" then you get it and cry that its all shallow and boring. No shit.

>>719214740

It worked because it was novel, not because it was good. Everything novel has a gimmick level of attention grabbing to it.

>>719214940
>not because it was good
No, it still holds up just fine. Like any game if there's no effort put into the game world it's going to be shit.

>>719214415
People have different tastes. Do you like Minecraft? If you don't then I understand why you wouldn't like this game.

>>719214982
It does not, you just have nostalgia

>>719215112
Nope. Played it just a month ago with the HD mod. It's got issues sure, but as far as games go it's a really polished experience.

>>719215202
WOW LASERS AND sPACE SHIpPSS SSOS FUCKING KGGOOOOL!!!

>>719215383
You okay?

>>719214931
>Just flying between planets is awesome, no other game comes close
So not only did you not buy it, you never even played it. Flying between planets literally just consists angling your ship towards the planet and then holding down space to go FTL until you get there. You never actually fly between planet because it'd take ages to actually do so normally and almost every square foot of space is littered with asteroids you would either need to shoot or fly around.
In other words you haven't played the game, you don't know anything about the game, hell you've probably never seen gameplay footage of the game but you're insisting it's awesome because of some mental image you've built up in your head. Either that or you're just getting paid to say it's an awesome game even though you don't play it. I really hope it's the latter since that'd at least be somewhat understandable since a man's gotta eat after all.

>>719214698
Isn't that more of a game design issue than setting issue?

>>719215479
Just land on any planet and you'll understand, fool. You haven't even played it since it came out and you're still crying about it.

>>719215508
It's more because the kind of people that make space games are autists obsessed with math systems (IE procgen garbage and scale) than making interesting stories, levels, and games.

>>719215630
Underspace is good but I can count the number of fantasy themed space games on one hand.

>>719214740
I wish the game had better combat AI. They just joust each other majority of the time. Still a hell of a light show when you got 200+ ships camping a gate.

you go to space station and build the new ship types. THere are blue teleporters on the left and you can just build them, quite easily

I played starfield for the first time last weekend for 10 hours and I was thoroughly unimpressed. It's a lot worse than this board says it is. Also tried the star wars genesis modpack and it doesn't really make it suck less, the core gameplay loop is so annoying and involves way too much UI shit and fast traveling. You will never get one fully fleshed out story or questline on a single planet.
>>719215630
Actually unsettling, I hate it. Looks cool.

>>719216759
Technically not since you zone from interior of ship to exterior of ship as opposed to Star Citizen being seamless.

But ships are modular which Star Citizen doesn't have.

>>719210004
I play in VR so I don't have these problems you listed. I have to say this is one of the smoothest performing games I have played and the level of interactivity is decent.

>>719215630
Okay do you fight it or is it just a setpiece

>>719215696
Funny thing is it feels like NMS tries to do the same shit as Underspace with some of the space encounters (i.e. bizarre and slightly unsettling shit encountered in space) like the asteroid larva, stellar intelligence, etc.
The problem is they're just so creatively bankrupt and lazy that they do almost nothing with them. What should be awe inspiring phenomena and creatures that either make you want to shit your pants or investigate further are reduced to mundane random encounters barely worth a glance that you quickly forget about

>>719212617
The FIRST upgrade you get is to make it so that regenerates automatically.

>>719219208
I swear it copied it at this point because you didn't start to see the weird leviathans and space storms until that game came out.

How are you supposed to meet up with random people on planets?

Is this game coop? Exploration sounds fun but no clue if this will deliver.

>>719220896
It's pretty much 80% exploring random planets & finding weird stuff to see/screen shot

>>719219874
Settle down there Sean, I know you're upset LNF will suck at launch but I'm sure you'll sucker a few people into thinking it'll be fixed down the road.

>>719220896
Yes, co-op, you can crew a ship together or fly your own little ships. You can build bases with a modular base building system and harvest resources, set up farms, etc. or fight pirates and shit. It's neat.

Co-op in NMS is janky. Some things like planet weather are not synced so you could be in a thunderstorm while your friends are not while being next to each other.
This may apply to other things like resources, animals or enemies, but my experience in co-op is short.

>>719217025
This shit is so creepy and unsettling. How can anyone ship a game looking like this?

About to purchase on Steam, is there a way to play this game with like 2x resource gain and still participate in the multiplayer or no, the resource gathering grind is the only complaint I constantly hear about it so I thought I'd just go in with a higher gain if I can without screwing the experience

Yes

I'm simply having a blast

>>719223704
it has a lot of difficulty knobs to tweak.

though playing on default difficulty you'll become effectively invincible and have 100% self sustainability in about 30 hours, less if you know what you're doing

Speaking of. If I play the Expedition event thats about to happen, can I then change the settings after it puts me in a normal save?

>>719220896
One of the big things about this update is that coop is now more viable. Before you both had your own ships and had to follow each other, now they can just stay on your custom vehicle.

You will still be the only owner of it, and they will still have their own ship, but they can travel with you everywhere.

>>719224471
the only setting you can't change is permadeath mode. you have to start with that toggled. everything else can be swapped at any time without penalty

>>719223793
Oh good shit, thanks

>>719219208
That looks like garbage and is ironically boring and unimaginative as shit

Sounds like someone needs to go ride on a procgen penis monster

How do I start building my ship? do I need to do the "jump between systems a couple of times" until I get a mission?

When's the expedition starting?

I mean I don't think I've seen space monsters walking through the aether Gaunter O'Dimm style before, so I would say it's pretty creative.

>>719226268
>Elite Dangerous
This game is my Spore. Whenever I see it I want to play it, I look up what changed, see nothing was fixed, and get mad at its wasted potential.

It IS the ultimate space game. The ships/sound/immersion is godlike, nothing comes close. Then the game itself is the biggest wet fart NOTHINGBURGER that ever existed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeNKepH2ut4
nothing came close than Captain Blood.

>>719206785 (OP)
I played it one year ago.
Is it still about landing on a planet, seeing dumb animals and mining to build stuff?

>>719206785 (OP)
huh?
starfield was the one copying no man's sky, but half assing it and saying there's a bethesda main quest (as if that's a selling point and people play bethesda games for the main quest)

>>719206981
Starfield's ship builder is a bit better minus the ladder placement

>>719210004
all of this is true but since this is /v/eddit they wont like hearing it

>>719226525
I would argue not, because NMS lets you place pieces inside other pieces, its far less restrictive therefore.

>>719225191
Lol, unmodded nms I guess. Or this

>>719226268
It's what I've been doing, but as >719226367 said, the gameplay isn't much fun, and you can't walk around ship interiors yet.

That's Subverse.

causing people to complain*
The main reason I enjoy starfield's ship builder is the graphics really. The ships look stunning with CE2's global illumination. Copefully the next update lets you do shit with them

NMS is too cartoony, needs to be a game like this but more like Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen in aesthetic.

>>719206785 (OP)
starsector is

>>719223395
it always had gigantic freighters
this update introduces "corvettes" which are bigger personal ships

>>719212617
pretty sure ur pic is before the 9 years of updates

Toddsisters, they're laughing at us again...

so nothing you retarded shill

And the diplomacy update look promising.

Saarfield shills must be utterly buck broken at this point
Also Sean mogs the fuck out of little Toady

Can't fit a vehicle inside? laaame

>>719228532
Even better, in NMS you can now open up your ship, and just jump out in the vacuum of space just for shits and giggle

>>719228285
Stay mad Star Scammer

>>719227741
Honestly, give me these graphics but with all the features you would ever want and im happy.

>>719228580
Not *yet

>>719228580
It'd be difficult to justify given you can pull an entire mech out of your ass now

For years: Starfield have nothing good!
Now: Look how good this game is for stealing from Starfield!

>>719206785 (OP)
Too bad the artstyle and music still suck.
And that the planets don't orbit their star nor is the star an actual physical object in the game (because NMS players were too stupid for it so they had to remove it).

Not to mention the fact that NMS has even less POI than Starfield, if we are going to compare them.

>>719214269
sad that the exploration sucks ass, even more than in Starfield.

No Man's Sky was always better than Saarfield for one reason: you can do actual comfy space trucking with a podcast in the background in No Man's Sky, and you can manipulate star systems economies to profitmaxx
Not to mention in No Man's Sky you actually fly your ship
I remember trying out a random delivery mission in Starfield, and it was the most underwhelming shit I had ever seen in a space game

>>719229026
I never saw much criticism of the shipbuilder- only that it was pointless because all you were ultimately doing was customising your loading screens.

>>719229204
In No Man's Sky I can land on gas giants (even though this makes no sense whatsoever)
That alone makes NMS a better space exploration game

>>719209210
>i appreciate how much this game has been changed/updated/reworked/etc. but at some point they should take all the lessons they learned and just make nms2
What're you saying actually, are you retarded or something

>>719206785 (OP)
Is there a point to the game now instead of just looking at machine generated soulless shit and gathering things? Like actual quests, characters, story, challenge, combat with mechanical depth... you know, just stuff that could make a game even remotely fun. Anything like that?

>>719210004
>They've done nothing to make planets actually interesting explore.

Sounds like you're describing Elite Dangerous. The ship piloting in NMS has no depth to it past just holding down a button and your ship piloting itself.

Let me fix that for you

>>719229602
Never said No Man's Sky was realistic or anything
Actually I like that it's casual, Elite Dangerous is too much of a drab second job type of game

>>719223704
If you have to ask you'll probably not have fun.

>>719229285
>even though this makes no sense whatsoever

instantly interest lost. I want to explore space, not a fantasy game disguised as a space game.

I really wish there was a realistic space game with good exploration.

There are many more ways to make money in NMS, but space trucking is the most straightforward way to go about it

>>719229726
lol I don't care what some retards on Reddit say. There is no war, just my opinion and your opinion.

Do you do anything interesting in this game now, or is it still just mine for materials to fly to a new planet to mine for materials to fly to a new planet to mine for materials.

every mechanic is too simple and shallow
prove me wrong I'll wait

>>719229820
way to not understand what I meant at all. Other space games at least try to be realistic with their system simulation. NMS just makes some small static balls in space, colors them with crayons and calls it a day.

Have a nice day at the daycare.

i was literally so close to boughting Saarfailed because of ship interiors but that game fucking sucks in general, especially because its a fucking loading simulator but I love building my ships and being able to walk in them and customize them and then Sean comes with this fucking BANGER HOLY SHIT

when I want to spend my day shooting rocks I always turn to NMS

>>719208496
its an exploration game mainly but yeah it deffo needs a massive combat overhaul
would love if they actually made it an endless diablo/destiny/borderlands-like where you have randomly generated "dungeons" with bosses that drop loot/gear with random affixes that you can endlessly grind and endlessly power up

>>719230465
>no one has to prove shit to you
yes, they have to

>>719230591
World bosses would be so fucking rad

>>719230634
You can already find kaiju sized hostile insects if I recall, they added that in one of the Worlds update

Looks like No Mans Sky is still not quite scratching that itch if the resentment over Starfield is still going strong

What's the next step of his master plan?
More alien races you can ally with or fight against? Galactic war system? Planet/space-station conquering system?
Honestly I don't see what else based Sean can add at this point, the game already does everything and now we can properly build ships and walk in them

>>719230728
yeah but they die in like 5 shots if you're geared up

>>719230634
they fucking would, but they need to fix combat, like a complete overhaul of it, better movement, better gunplay, ideally something like Destiny 2 would fit perfectly in NMS and then add world bosses, dungeons, loot to grind, fuck it add even PVP, maybe even matchmaking and server browser for some 5v5 or 10v10, now that i think about it they could fucking make a Battlefield/Planetside type of shit in NMS, it would literally be a perfect game for it, but they are too small of a team for something like that though sadly

>Why is every mechanic a tacked gimmick
Maybe because it's easier to update the game that way?
Look at Elite or Star Citizen, tons of really complex systems, and the games get updated at such a slow pace, because everytime you want to add something or overhaul something, that means reworking everything else, including all of the really complex stuff, and that takes too much time and money clearly
Meanwhile NMS goes for a simpler/casual approach to space games, and this is why they can infinitely keep on updating the game at a really fast pace and churn out game/engine changing updates without it breaking the fucking game apart

>>719231151
They've somehow avoided destructive feature creep and somehow become the most consumer friendly studio in modern times, I think we'll see a lot more cool shit from them. NMS is basically an MMO with free servers and patches, they've taken that 300m budget and used it about as intelligently as I've ever seen a studio do it.

>Played a few months ago

trvke

>>719231402
yeah thats because they actually make games out of passion and not purely for profit and they are also smart about it

>>719231404
there is none. If NMS was so good, people would be praising, or playing it, it instead of shitting on other space games.

did they ever add stuff like dungeon crawls to this game? like cave systems or underground facilities or such that you could stumble upon and explore/loot the shit out of?
Honestly if NMS had it I would probably never have bothered with Starfield
especially since I found out recently it has full VR support

>>719232062
The closest there is to this, are derelict freighters
Basically abandoned/destroyed freighter in space which you can explore like a dungeon to get loot and shit, pretty spooky

Taking serious "Millennium Falcon" cues here.

>>719206785 (OP)

Back when Starfield launched, NMS was already beyond that CreationEngine slop
Just being able to seamlessly enter/exit planets atmosphere for instance

>build a corvette
>try to land on a frigate
>get sent to a landing spot in space
>step off the ship
>fall off in space and die
cool update

>>719232128
I would have hoped they'd add something similar for planetside exploration, or expanded the derelicts to cover things like space stations
shitty as starfield is coming across an abandoned outpost and exploring it was cool

>>719232432

You can also stumble upon "abandoned" star systems, in which the space station will be abandoned and derelict too
But not really dungeons like derelict freighters

this

nms is the most disappointing game i have ever played and it's irritating to see them add all this crap to it without fixing the underlying issue that the game is genuinely soulless and boring.
nothing you do matters. everything is already named, already discovered, same copy pasted assets in every planet, same world and creaturegens over and over, like even though they added more animals and animal parts every world spawns the same handful of critter types that all do the same thing. it's not like you can land on a fucked up evil looking planet and encounter like a burer from stalker that attacks you psychically or some shit, it's literally just rick and morty tier spacecows and spacebugs a thousand different ways.

>>719229869
What a stupid thing to say, you think other planets are different? Rhetorical you're retarded lmao.

>>719233908
>everything is already named, already discovered, same copy pasted assets in every planet
Lmao, you've never played NMS

>>719233726
when shit like that happens to me i just tend to start a new save and build everything from scratch, once i remember how to play i then remember exploits as well and make a ton of money to get back or just load back into the previous save

>>719230591
>procgen
>exploration

I tried playing NMS once and there's like, no gameplay, no reason to go anywhere, what the fuck

>>719234218
exactly, because unlike Saarfailed the procgen in NMS is actually very varied and colorful and fun and its fun to explore and see all kinds of different shit
Saarfailed is very bland and not very creative in its procgen + with a ton of loading screens it kills the immersion immediately
out of all the space games ive played (ED, X4, Saarfailed, Scam Citizen) NMS has by far the most fun exploration

If you can design your own ships now, what is the purpose of these legendary rare ships with specific looks?

>>719233908
>nothing you do matters
That's just space games. People need to figure out that what they REALLY want is GTA based in a Star Wars like setting. Hit up Coruscant to buy/sell contraband, buy a shitty motel or if you're wealthy buy a highrise luxury apartment. Get in a gunfight with the police running/driving through the scifi streets killing pedestrians and droid cops as your wanted level increases to where clones (or Old Republic equivalent) start chasing you, get in your spaceship and get in a dogfight in the sky/planet's atmosphere before jumping into hyperspace to go have adventures on another planet. Coruscant command will now shoot you down on site so you can't enter the planet unless you have connections or know of backdoors to get in. The point of the game isn't "accept job to kill 2 random fighters in space", it's "man I wanna kidnap wookies on Kashyyyk and sell them into slavery on Tatooine"

>>719234354
I'm pretty sure you can't build an organic ship, so there's that

>>719234372
>That's just space games.
wrong
elite dangerous has actual exploration of worlds that are actually unique, i can land on a billion of the same-looking rock in E:D and still never actually see the same surface twice. there's weird shit to discover like black holes and neutron stars, actual alien threats, pvp if you want, etc. on the other hand NMS always feels like the same planet with a different skin every time, and despite having a bunch of npcs and bright colors everywhere feels so lonely and cold because it's all this saccharine fakeness that doesn't really work in a space game imo. it's TOO sci-fi and that means nothing is actually new or interesting.

>>719234128
I'm not sure this is a game I want to start from scratch. Maybe once I finish the base storyline.

>>719234547
>elite dangerous has actual exploration of worlds that are actually unique
Pfthahahah. PFTHAHAHAHAHAH.

Oh fucking WOW, yeah anon, landing on a empty fucking rock to find ONE or maybe even TWO generic plants that you scan once, then fly over a bit, scan again, then fly over a bit again to scan a THIRD time is AMAZING gameplay.

>there's weird shit to discover like black holes and neutron stars
This is a ONE time only gimmick, that has NO impact on your gameplay. Along with aliens that got fucking REMOVED except for a tiny fraction of them in a dead corner.

>>719234257
did you play in 2016?
there is quests to do
tho, if you just stay around doing nothing instead of exploring you will get nothing too

I'm glad to be a Space Rangers 2 fag.

>>719233009
This is exactly what I was going to make

>>719234257
this is what i'm talking about
you're not even "in" a galaxy it's just a fucking infinite cloud of randomly on-launch generated "star systems" the planets of which neither orbit their star or each other. there is literally no point to go anywhere or do anything. nothing you do in the game matters at all. it's just a sandbox space to exist in.

>>719210004
Thank you
I really want to like this game, and in the end I don't hate it, but it has absolutly no depth whatsoever. So many systems, but mostly no reasons to engage with them.

>>719234596
lets see you do a backflip off a crater edge then faggot
ED is a tony hawk game
NMS is that razor scooter game for ps1

Gonna recreate this once I get home

The more I look at it, the more I'm happy with Space Engine.

>>719234727
>but mostly no reasons to engage with them.
Not a single space game has any reason to engage with any mechanics.

that's not x4 though, new big patch soon btw

>>719234819
not true

>>719229285
>I can land on gas giants
No you can't Sean. You can land on regular planets that has 1:1 identical behavior to any other planet except they have storms.

>>719230865
I'm hoping NPC aliens getting AI to act and fight on-foot, so you can take your frigate squadrons crew with you on the planets. And then pirate alien enemies roaming the planets instead of only randomly teleporting to you in space.

>>719234856
>badly flying to get rocks to sell
so, the same as every other space game?

>>719223892
Just fucking block. Imagine being such a weirdo attention seeker.

>>719234583
once you beat the game once or twice you realize how insignificant new start really is
and as i said, you can start a fresh save just to get back into it and the load back into your old save once you have shit figured out

>>719234856
Whats fucking hilarious about this is that core mining is now dogshit in comparison to laser mining. Which also means there is no reason to ever do it. And then you ask yourself "Why am I laser mining" "To get credits" "Why" "To get... ships" "To do what..." "To get, more credits?"

Then you uninstall Elite and go shitpost on a forum that "This game is wasted potential"

>>719223704
>>719229675
I've been having fun and played for about 4 hours now, got a question though, the game is obviously encouraging me to move towards the middle of the galaxy as I hyperdrive between nodes, but also wants me to craft with my base, if I go back to my base like 4 hyperjumps back, how do I easily get back to where I am now? Does the game expect you to keep making bases every 3-4 galaxies as "checkpoints"? Bit confused, be so much easier if all your crafting could be done on your ship

>>719234350
>colorful=fun
retard.

The planets in No Trans Sky are all literally the same planet except with a different childish color palette

>>719234596
>This is a ONE time only gimmick, that has NO impact on your gameplay.
frame shift drive boosting has a significant effect on gameplay
also black holes are cool

>>719234960
You can craft teleporters. I think you can also craft them on your custom ship too.

>>719234981
>frame shift drive boosting has a significant effect on gameplay
No it fucking doesn't you disingenuous faggot. The "Gameplay" here is that the game wastes 60s of your life per jump per sector its a fucking joke.

>>719234973
Saaaar okay saaar whatever you say, i will not redeem
you never played NMS

>>719234960
>Does the game expect you to keep making bases every 3-4 galaxies as "checkpoints"?
yes
there are teleports you can install in your base to warp between them but good fucking luck remembering what base is where with all the fucking idiotic face-to-keyboard planet names

I play a few hours of every update until I realize theres nothing I want to do. The infinite cycle

16... 16... bzzt... 16...

>>719234596
At least the exploration in ED isn't go to planet, mine rock, next planet, mine rock, next planet, mine rock.

What makes exobiology in Elite more fun than No Trans Sky is that plants are actually rare and unique. Not to mention that Elite has actually big mountains and craters instead of the kiddie shit going on in NMS.

>>719231739
Omg it's the heckin falconerino, take my updoots.

>>719235189
die miserable faggot

>>719234960
dont listen to >>719235036 this retard
no, the game doesnt expect you to craft bases everywhere, you can place teleporters and you can name/rename your bases to whatever you like
you can also get a freight/capital ship which is basically a floating base on which you can also place teleporter and they are actually better for jumping from galaxy to galaxy as they have longer range and planetary scanners that scan the entire system with a single button
but in general no, you dont have to craft bases everywhere, i have one main base which i put on a comfy green planet and a capital ship i use for traversing the galaxy and i teleport between the two, you can also teleport to every space station you visited

>>719235075
>LNF comes out

>>719235027
I have over 100 hours in NMS, most of it spent outpost building. Too bad the rest of the game fucking sucked. The most as wide as and ocean, as deep as a puddlest game ever.

>>719235018
mad because bad
thought space was supposed to be boring and desolate why are you bitching about having to actually fly to places?

>>719234909
>>719234956
blowing stuff up is fun
getting paid huge money to go to ass end of nowhere and blow stuff up then truck it back is more fun than anything in nms

>"Why am I laser mining" "To get credits" "Why" "To get... ships" "To do what..." "To get, more credits?"

you upgrade your ship parts constantly and swap out equipment for different roles or have different craft for that purpose you dumb fucking jew. mad becuz bad indeed

>>719235160
>At least the exploration in ED
Is fucking nothing but spamming UI elements at other UI elements.
>that plants are actually rare and unique.
Holy fucking shit you are so disingenuous. There is a fucking website you can follow to find all the plants that pay out and get Elite in a couple days.
>Not to mention that Elite has actually big mountains and craters instead of the kiddie shit going on in NMS.
What the fuck are you even talking about now, NMS has mountains, it has more types of terrain than the whole of Elite combined.

You're a sunk cost HOTAS boomer who hasn't played any real space game in his entire life. Go make your wife cum for the first time in her life instead of being so absolutely fucking deluded to think Elite has anything on NMS, Star Citizen or ANY other space game at all.

>>719235265
>The most as wide as and ocean, as deep as a puddlest game ever.
thats fine, but explain to me what (YOU) would add to it to add depth?

>>719235270
>thought space was supposed to be boring and desolate why are you bitching about having to actually fly to places?
Gee faggot, why would people complain that boring as shit loading screens are boring as shit? Who could guess.

>>719235293
he has never played NMS, stop replying to him, based on everything he said its pretty fucking clear that he hasnt touched it and is just shitting on the game due to autism

>>719235270
>you upgrade your ship parts constantly and swap out equipment for different roles or have different craft for that purpose you dumb fucking jew. mad becuz bad indeed
Pfthahah, no you fucking dont. You go find any engineering youtube video for this months grind which you do for an hour then your ship is done. Then you're back to nothing but pointing your ship at a circle to jump fifty sectors to do the same shit again.

>>719235215
don't listen to this retard

you have no physical way of knowing what base is where and you can't rename or sort them unless you physically go there and rename them. not that it matters because the "galaxy" is a formless cloud of stars and the center is entirely arbitrary so there's really no reason not to just jump straight to the center ...except that if you do you have to play the whole fucking game over again in a "new" randomly generated galaxy.
nms shills do not actually play the game

>>719235215
>you can also teleport to every space station you visited
Ah okay there we go, so those are the "checkpoints" to resume your journey to the centre, thanks

>Wide as an ocean deep as a puddle
We know you are a jeet already, no need to confirm it

>The state of Elite
Ignore the boomer dads, they don't actually play video games

for the "there's nothing to do" crowd, what would need to be added to satisfy you? genuinely interested in what you think would improve it to your satisfaction.

>>719206981
too bad that doesn't fix the fact that all the gameplay comes down to refilling a series of endlessly depleting nag meters

what happens when you get to the center?

>>719209449
This is bait.

>>719235412
Not entirely related but I want Helldivers 2 but with space ships. Let me pick a ship, load it out, and run quick 30 minute missions with people. Different mission types but I would imagine the most obvious type would be a transport mission where you have:
1. One guy is the hauler, who has to avoid enemies and fly around hazards
2. Recon/Support role
3. A couple of combat pilots

Then after 30m, mission over, get xp/credits, upgrade/buy parts, design your ship/ect and go again.

Space is boring. Its why NMS/Elite/Star Citizen don't work. The boring traveling between places sucks, its pointless, its not fun and never will be. Put me straight into the actual situations you want to be in.

>>719235293
being called a boomer is the highest compliment one can get in today's age of tiktok brained zoomers.

>spamming UI elements at other UI elements
learn to read, retard. You've probably never read a book with no pictures.

>there is a fucking website
for anything. You don't have to use it. There's creative mode for NMS that ruins the entire point of the game.

>NMS has mountains
the biggest planets in NMS are smaller in than some mountains in ED. They're like 75 miles in diameter, not that you'd know what that word means.

>>719228312
Nice try helloshill, we all know there's no segs in NMS.

>>719235430
>too bad that doesn't fix the fact that all the gameplay comes down to refilling a series of endlessly depleting nag meters
All Space games are either filling nag filters, or upgrading X+1 to X+2 to do the exact same thing you just did; prove me wrong.

You've just cracked onto the magic words that cause all space fags to seethe.

There is no solution. Space is a boring setting for a video game. The best space games are not even space games, they're submarine simulators with fantasy/scifi monsters.

Everything in Elite is a loading screen, there is no gameplay.

>makes a game about space exploration
>space is full of fornite style vibrant colours instead of being dark and relaxing like on x3 or stellaris
I was filtered by that

i rage quit this game when they released the worlds update that removed all of the bioluminescent flora from the tropical paradise-fungus planet i managed to find in that galaxy that is 66% desolate/dead/cold/volcanic worlds.

logged in to check out the worlds update and found that my wonderful, 0.5%> spawn chance planet was just green-brown mud with some trees and no foliage. never logged back in since

>>719235596
>There is no solution. Space is a boring setting for a video game.
absolutely not, space is fun, the main thing about space games is exploration, you do that part well and you already completed 50% of the job
now 2nd and more complicated part is adding other stuff
good combat is very vital, both space combat and on-foot gunplay, you can have shit like bounty hunting and chasing bounties across space, but they actually need to be fun and challenging and not just reach the target and thats it
ECONOMICS, a huge part in space games, you do shit like X4 where you add an insanely detailed and dynamic economy simulation and you will have hours of fun with it (if you are into that)
actually good "jobs" shit like mining, ED has that one type of mining where you have to put probes or some shit thats very dynamic and actually a ton of fun, dont remember what its called as its been years since i last played ED, add transport jobs, where you transport people/goods through space
theres so fucking much you can add, its literally limitless
you can add planetary and inter planetary warfare
each system or each planet can have factions and wars and territory control, kinda like Planetside 2 but on a grander scale
all of this is possible but would cost insane amount of money and require incredibly competent and passionate devs to develop
so ideally Scam Citizen money + passionate NMS devs and you'd probably have this

>>719235579
>>719235601

I'm not gonna design your game for you for free, Sean.

With this update, I would connect it to the piracy update so you could board other ships through EVA and get actual combat gameplay.

I don't want to. I just wanted to relax my eyes, turn off my brain and wander through the dark space without a destination and find some space stations, battle ships and factions in war not going to boring planets to shoot rocks. It wasn't the game for me

>>719235591
>one of the best space games ever made
it literally cannot be a space game, and not even close to best due to it being a loading screen simulator, if it had no loading screen and you could physically land on planets and explore planets without loading screens it probably would be there as one of the best but that alone kills any sort of immersion of it being a space game

its vehicles have no inertial physics and drive exactly the same in low gravity as they do in earth gravity (badly) there are no interesting places to drive them or challenging terrain to navigate. it's just faster walking with an object kill radius, not an actual vehicle.

Nothing because crafting-survival games are just shit by design, what space dads want is mount and blade in space, I want something like X4 or Starsector but better.

>>719238814
it's insane
playing it is like a fever dream, you're trapped in a game with all this "stuff" and nothing to actually do with any of it. even though you can manually terraform planets and build bases and see some interesting stuff there's nothing to actually do with any of it. it's just there. like there is a whole upgrade system for guns and spacecraft you barely ever use, none of the research or discovery you do ever begets anything new or contibutes to a whole, it's just "wow you found planet dsfargeg nobody has ever been here before have credits" and you get down there and there's a fucking trade hub and buildings and npcs flying around like it's been inhabited the whole fucking time

It just feels empty.
Planets are barren places where all you can do is jog around and shoot laser at minerals or deal with baddie drones.
Outposts are all the same.
Hubs are large halls with the same stalls.
People are all faceless robots or ugly frogs.

Apologize now now NOW

>DUDE! DESIGN YOUR OWN SHIP LMAO!
>have to aquire parts first
Again. Again with this shit! Sean! For fucks sake, when will you learn? Open build menu, slap shit together, press done, if you have enough moolah - build the ship, if you don't - store yhe design. But NO! Buy parts that occupy precious inventory space! Just KNOW how many particular parts you might wanna use! For crying out loud, fucking Shartfield got it right. Come on!
Expedition when?

>>719238908
that map is not the world's greatest rendition of the moon unfortunately

If you actually play the story and understand the lore on even a basic surface level, there's nothing contradictory about any of this. The korvax, gek and vykeen aren't real. They're literally in-universe npc simulations being spawned to populate areas you discover.

>>719210004
He spoke the truth

>>719239994
wow that's extra fucking retarded
so the entire game is irrelevant because the universe you play in is all just a big game in and of itself, none of the characters or races or languages or events are actually real or matter at all, and the devs unironically use this bullshit ass metanarrative as an excuse to have lazy incongruent npc spawns?
are you actually fucking kidding? please tell me you're trolling.
