Guys. I'm sorry but I like it.

I know you all think its shit. But I dunno.. I really like it.
It's a very fun game, people just like to shit post.
It does have it's flaws. I've put probably 30 hours into since launch and have just started to get bored with it. It feels like a sandbox with the coolest toys ever in it, but the toys don't do much and you can't do much with them and there's only like five repeating toys in a sandbox a square mile big.
But it is a marvel of gaming and an incredibly relaxing and fun when you're in the right mood.
I have to agree, I do really like it, but I kind of wish the delay was like 6 months instead of 2. It would of given them more time to flesh shit out a bit more like the alien factions, crafting, add more animal/plant assets and most importantly ironed out a bunch of bugs that should never of been in it
Get like half a tab of lsd, put 65daysofstatic's no man's sky album on and you'll be in the best mood to play
I like it too
you don't have to hate or love it, videogames are not black and white
i really like it too
none of my friends want to get it because of all of the controversy, which sucks. no one to really talk to about the game
i don't really care. when you're in the mood for it, it's sucha great game
I also think it is pretty enjoyable to just fly around and scan things.
The only thing is I wish the port wasn't horseshit, I can play for like 2 hours and then it starts to bog down to sub 20 fps until I restart it.
Also, grab the LowFlight mod so you can actually fly your ship properly on planets, it makes a world of difference.
If they improved the generation quality, specially the ayy, and made a free play mode without survival bullshit, it would be a great relaxing game.
But it is held back by many flaws, most of which could have been adverted. That is the main reason people are pissed. Flaws that could been avoided.
>It's a very fun game, people just like to shit post.
plus they developers didn't implement a bunch of things they said there would be in the game and thats coming from someone who likes the game and put 100 hours in it.
Getting a little further in the planets have progressively gotten more varied. Last planet I went to it was an ocean planet with tiny islands scattered and it was gorgeous with temperate climates. no animals though and the resources were scarce effectively making it a useless planet. But was cool for the sheer difference.
The one before that was Chernobyl the planet being super duper irradiated with really bad radiation storms. Like... so bad your hazard protection would be out in 20 seconds. Had to constantly dig holes to avoid the constant storms. At the same time it had a ton of really rare minerals and great for mining + the fauna discovery was quite high.
thought the comment is nice then enlarged the pic. kek.
also: feels good to have an i7 and a gtx 1070 and 16gigs of ram and an ssd.
Sorry, but when I play NMS I feel myself slowly dying. I rather waste my limited time with something better.
I love finding the hell wacky ayys, but I just want more combinations
>It's a very fun game, people just like to shit post.
Not for me, pretty much returned it after playing 1 hour and 15 mins.
>>varying environments that get more and more surreal the further you go to the center
I thought that was one of the main debunked facts? It's okay if you like it but you don't have to lie about it.
the variables become unlocked. It's not fake. Basically the variables are relatively stringent and become more and more varied as you get to the center.
I thought the yellow/red/green/blue stars were what changed the variables not the distance from the centre? Or is it both?
I love finding hazardous planets like that, but I wish the game would let me actually get stuck on them. Make plutonium and thamium hard to find, so it's actually a challenge to fuel my ship and make it possible to be stranded on a hostile planet and have to survive. I feel like they made the game way too casual-proof.
No and I don't know.
I'm about 160,000 ly from the center and my warp drive can only take me about 30 ly at a time and I have the Theta drive, which is the best one. Black holes send me perpendicular, but not that much closer to the center. Does the game really expect to make little skips toward the center or am I missing something?
mfw neo v shills harder than reddit at this point. how far you guys have fallen.
Then what the hell is the point of making a theta warp drive if they make no difference?
>i pretend to be an oldfuck v user and you are a new v user because youre honest about liking a video game not everyone likes
typical neo v comment
Holy shit the samefagg
I'm having the same 'issue' (if you can call it that).
potential spoiler about black holes:
I think completing the Atlas path gives you access to the map of black holes such that you can navigate your way to the centre
>Multiple opinions differing from yours
>samefag
Hey...
grow up.
Oooohhhhh... well shit.
>26 posts
>14 posters
there's clearly some samefagging
Not sure about this - I think I read something like this somewhere, but quickly close because of potential spoilers.
So, does anyone else not have a day/night cycle? It's literally always daytime for me on every planet.
Pirated version? The day/night cycles I've been seeing is something along the lines of 15 minutes.
>people can't have different opinons than me!
>they just can't! must be samefag
yeah uh, not quite. try again
ONLY 1 POST ALLOWED FROM EACH USER.
POST.
MOVE ON.
DO NOT REPLY.
It's okay user. You're allowed to be a pleb.
Just not here. Get the fuck out.
>what is a response
I've been making a path for the center instead of following the Atlas because the Atlas always takes me somewhere else. Maybe I'll start following that guy from now on.
you don't you shilling sack of shit
>grow up.
>he said, while he posts on /vee/
Never post that again, hypocrite.
Nah ps4. I did however play a bit of 1.00 to get around a bug and I had it before then
Might be worth switching it around a bit. I've been freely exploring first, then bumped into Atlas stations more, and now I'm just jumping 500 ly-jumps to green systems towards the centre (still need that damned last drive upgrade for blue stars).
The environments dont get different the further you go to the center. It changes based on the color of star system you warp to.
>ITT: Sean Murray shilling as hard as he possibly can
How can you not know how trivial the Atlas quest or getting to the center is by now? Completing the atlas does fuck all besides revealing more black holes, and getting to the center just throws you into another galaxy and forces you to start over from the beginning.
Sean, I get it, you want people to love your game, your little baby. Hell, maybe if you update it and give us more to do/an actual ending that rewards players, instead of just resetting the grind, maybe they actually will like it.
But, at the state it's in now, it's an overpriced, low-quality survival game, with admittedly good sound design and aesthetics, but no real depth, besides a fuckload of stars to gawk at.
Any idea if there's a way to screen a planet for mineral deposits before you land? Been needing nickel for next warp drive for days now
Stop shilling
Get nickel from asteroids. Fly around and take pot shots at bigger asteroids, they usually contain Gold, Nickel, Copper, Iron or Aluminum (?).
Check some of the large asteroids in space. I once found nickel, aluminium and copper in a single solar system and a fair amount too
okay thanks guys
I'm sure it would be really fun to play while stoned.
>maybe if you update it and give us more to do/an actual ending that rewards players
Sean is on record saying that conent updates don't happen until the games glitches and crashes are fixed. On PS4 something like 86% of the crashes and glitches are fixed.
And he is also on record saying that he may charge for some updates.
As DLC.
I'll be fine if he releases them for free, and can bring this game out of the god-awful controversial mess it's in at the moment, though I'm not sure he'll ever get anybody's trust back ever again.
But fuck me, if he charges for any of it, he's gonna plunge his little pet project into a whole new wave of hatred.
I want to like this game. Hell, I still play it, even though I know it all amounts to literally nothing. I want to see what we were promised in the trailers, what Sean lied out his ass about.
I want to see huge galactic faction wars, and giant crashed freighters, and animals that do more than just walk around aimlessly, and fucking MULTIPLAYER.
And a legitimate ending would be nice too. Something worth all the trouble.
But as of now, he deserves the shit he's getting, and no amount of shilling is gonna dig him out of it.
>even though I know it all amounts to literally nothing
It's a videogame. They don't tend to amount to anything at all, that's not really why people do this.
Move deeper in for more minerals to pop up on planets. I literally had no aluminum for the first few stars. Then after 2-3 atlas stops i just went and stopped to get materials for atlas passes and aluminum everywhere with asteroids filled with copper. Now im pretty much +1,2,3,4 on every upgrade. Only +5 is the caster burst fire but it sucks compared to the railgun upgrade to laser.
...
>It's a videogame. They don't tend to amount to anything at all, that's not really why people do this.
People do play for varying reasons, sure. But do you remember when Minecraft first made waves on the internet? People were struggling to call it a game, more like a toybox, because games typically have some sort of goal or overarching objective. You can BEAT a game. You can't beat No Man's Sky. Getting to the center does nothing more than give you another center to get to. And another. And another.
People play games like Dark Souls for the reward of overcoming a hefty challenge. They play multiplayer games to compete against other players. People play games to either beat them, or to beat other players.
Survival games are, of course, a category of their own. Like No Man's Sky, they typically don't have an end. But, most of those games have multiplayer, and are only held up because of the communities formed by players.
So, No Man's Sky is a stagnant, single-player survival game with no end, and no payoff. There is literally NO REASON for anybody to get invested in this game. No reward. No fun/exciting interactions between players.
>But what about the pretty planets
Pallet swaps and mix-and-match creatures get pretty stale after only a few hours of gameplay. I've seen so many planets with the same/similar plants and animals, so many oceans with the same seaweed, so many grassy fields, so many mountains, so many barren wastes, the list goes on and on and on.
Please, tell me then, what reason is there to play this never-ending grindfest? Tell me why, you think, people play videogames?
I fucking beg you, give me a real reason to actually enjoy this game. After all I hoped and dreamed for, after all the lies, after all the disappointment, give me something to cling to.
>the assets from the trailers are still in the game files
>but not placed on any of the planets
>portal from the trailer is all smoke and mirrors, doesn't even have collision
the game is still bullshit
let me know when they release the tools so I can put freighters and fighters in low orbit myself and make my own sick trailers for a game that doesn't exist
You are an incredibly close minded person.
>Tell me why, you think, people play videogames?
For many, many different reasons. You think the only thing that makes a game a game is the ability to beat it? That's ridiculous. You play a game. As long as you are interacting with it and having fun, it's a game.
Yeah, it could be better. But what it is right now is enjoyable for some people. If you don't like it, move on. Go enjoy something more to your taste. You crybaby "no mans lie" types are just as bad as us fan boys.
>people liked valve's wormhole clicker
>people hate this game of wormholes
People literally don't give a shit what they like, apparently.
Fuck. I was just on this site and forgot the name of it.
Lets see if you're still playing it in two weeks.
My brother got this game, said it was amazing after like two days then said it was shit
its all placed on some planets, you just have to find it
this is the most JUST post I've ever read
no, it isn't
don't get your hopes up
Honestly, looking back at some of the posts here, you have a point. People can like the game. Hell, I want to like the game, and even stated that a few times in my previous arguments.
But, there's liking a game, and then there's shilling a game.
Sure, you can discuss things like how to get certain minerals/ect like a few of the people are doing in this thread. But saying the same "I really like this game, it's not perfect, but people are too buttmad about it" in five posts in a row...that's just a bit too obvious.
Then there's blatantly ignoring the games flaws altogether.
Call me cynical, but after all the lies and bullshit, I find it hard to see any good from this game, or from Seam Murray.
But, by all means, go play. Have a blast. Just lay off the shilling, yeah?
A pile of shit.
literally nobody is shilling man.
First 5 posts are clearly shills.
Get the fuck out of here sean.
>Positive opinion
>SHUT UP SHILL FAGGOT
After seeing what's in the center of the galaxy, I think this may be one of my favorite games ever.
That ending did things to me that I haven't experienced in a long time.
>Supporting lies, and bullshitting devs
>cheapening the games industry
>Positive opinion
Top kek
>Everyone who doesn't think this shitty game is great is shitposting
>Positive opinion
If you can really only find those 3 trivial reasons for liking this pile of steaming indie shit, I'm convinced you're just trying to stave off feelings of buyer's remorse. That or you really do have complete shit taste.
But yeah, shill thread, nothing else to see here.
Sup Forums screams "SHILL" every time a positive comment is made on any game.
Why the fuck should I believe you sourpuss faggots?
>Varying environments?
There are like 12 different planets and all subsequent planets mix and match elements from each of those other planets. Hardly "varying", imo
I launch this game when I get home to relax. I put about an hour into then jump into another game once I feel like playing a game.
This app is only good for destressing while listening to music. Not much else. Good thing I pirated.
>should never of been in it
What?
I went into it with no expectations at all and without knowing anything about it other than it has procedurally generated planets.
It was ok for the time it took me to farm for 48/48/24 upgrade slots but then I've never touched it again because there was nothing else to do.
I can understand why people who followed all the hype would hate it and get mad though.
tl;dr it was worth a pirate
