I'm 50 hours into this game and I still feel like I have no fricking idea what I'm doing.
I feel such a disconnect, there's no immersion.
The same thing happened with Cyberpunk 2077.
I have no idea how far into the main story quest I am. I've only completed one faction's questline, and the "map" is so fricking confusing that I've no idea how to wrap my head around knowing where I have and haven't been.

Neon felt more cyberpunk than 2077 did.
go to main world hub cities
do quests
that's it.
You can waste time with ships, outposts, and getting money but this all gets wiped on newgame+ so it's not worth getting too invested into each run.
>save at unity moment
>one save goes through, other save turns back
>turnback save builds giant fleet of ships and outposts, finish sidequests and RP if so inclined
>other save rushes NG after NG to see cool universes and build their power levels and shit until they're jet li in the One
that's how i'm playing it
>all gets wiped on newgame+ so it's not worth getting too invested into each run
I just stopped. I finished the main quest pretty much first then rushed NG+ and then stopped at NG++ where I don't do the MQ at all. Instead I just "RP" as some random dude who does his thing. Like I'm playing an alternate start mod for FO4.
>and the "map" is so fricking confusing that I've no idea how to wrap my head around knowing where I have and haven't been.
I never noticed if they actually explained it but in the galaxy map, glowing yellow star systems = one you've been too, non-glowing yellow ones = ones you can reach but haven't been, red ones = ones that you need to reach connecting systems before you can reach them
identifying planets you've been to is much more annoying, having to look for signs of them being surveyed or scanned or some pre-explored landing zone by clicking each one individually
Cool story.
Maybe you should trade that PS5 in and build a pc ?
i spent 150+ hours in the game, beat it, did ng+ and beat a ng+ run, but then restarted from scratch now that i know what the game fully is, and im playing more immersively and slow paced and enjoying myself a lot more
get mods to fix a lot of shit, and have fun slowly exploring.
the worst aspect of the game is the exploration of planets, because you're on foot literally running 800 to 1000 meters from point to point with nothing in between. no way to park your ship at each spot or fly around and park at POIs, no mount to speed between points of interest. it was a giant step back from even oblivion
Yeah this game definitely needs to add some kind of ground vehicle in the DLC because running 1000m to a landmark that may or may not be what you're looking for isn't great
It's an RPG. You're supposed to fight slimes and collect potions along the way to the dungeon. Here you fight plants and collect rocks along the way to the abandoned base. Buy Gran Turismo if you want a driving game.
>collect rocks
I’d rather come across bandits or a hidden cave but I guess rock collecting can be fun, ya boring sod 😉
Im about 105 hours into my first run. Still need to finish the free star collective and the last ryujin mission and the main quest Just did some exploring of random worlds to get some of the survey quests I picked up ages ago off my list. That shit is awful if you don't have amp and runners rush to speed to the boring landmarks
>and the "map" is so fricking confusing that I've no idea how to wrap my head around knowing where I have and haven't been.
you may be a woman op
nah he's right it's impossible to remember where you have or haven't been or where certain places are unless you write it all down or something
I didn't beat it yet but I'm pretty sure joining Constellation/Sarah and doing the quest's with their blue logo are the main quest.
I can't believe you just fast travel everywhere. Game fricking sucks.
It's just slop, everything is as soulless half-baked, and sterile as it can possibly be. It's like everything in the game had to be approved by a panel of HR roasties before it made it in. It's the most "corporate" game I've ever played, in the worst sense.
It blows my mind how anyone continued to play it after seeing "New Atlanta" demonic putrid black infested city. Ugly city designs all copy pasted.
First vehicle mod better be a discount mako
>vehicles
would never work with the terrain/trees/rocks. would have to be something that flies.
Hammerhead ripoff would work
Reskin the fo4 powerarmor but you just walk really fast
thats because there is nothing to do
Are you just mindlessly exploring planets?
Well dont. It is pretty pointless.
Stick to the cities and towns.
The main quest is very chill and not urgent. It starts picking up after a few artifacts.
Bethesda heard all the complaints about Skyrim and Fallout 4 having huge player urgency and so they toned it down.
Who was complaining about Skyrim? It was universally loved
It's too reliant on clunky menu navigation to be immersive. It's like a 5/10 game. Skyrim if they took away the exploration.
Exploring and adventuring in a fantasy setting (like Skyrim for a direct comparison) is fundamentally different because it excites that part of human nature that enjoys rustic environments, ancient mysterious ruins and so on... there's an immediate satisfaction in it, even if halfassed.
Space settings on the other hand scratch a different itch. It's more about data crunching. "what kind of planet is this" "what kind of life does it support, if any" "how many plants in this system", shuttling cargo and visiting space stations and so on is a more cold and calculated experience. It's closer to crunching numbers and stuff like that. And because of that it ends up being "boring" much faster. Once you land on planet X and extract ore Y for the (n+1)th time what's the point? even the "lore" is flimsy and not worth talking about.
It’s not like they couldn’t have put caves, ancient alien ruins, ship wreckages etc on planets. There’s literally just nothing
8 FRICKING YEARS
What a wothless company
8 years in development, I wanted to play a space rpg.
I compromised. I played fallout 4 in space instead.
The problem is that the game has no continuity and they broke the classic exploration formula.
"See that mountain, you can climb it" doesn't work when you're fast traveling everywhere. Go back and play Skyrim or any other Bethesda game, but at the beginning unlock all map markers and exclusively fast travel everywhere. It feels like an MBA consultant looked at the Bethesda formula and made a hideous simulacra. On paper it has the same features; you do in fact see mountains and are able to climb them. However it completely misses the point and lacks all the charm of exploration previous games from Bethesda had.
you cant fast travel everywhere. certain hand crafted locations appear from space on the planet, you land at or near those, you can do that fyi without entering menus and just using the ship scanner. once youre down there other nearby locations you have to run to
sure locations you have visited you can just instantly port to without even being in your ship
if you go somewhere new you have to fly and enter orbit first before landing
you're supposed to install sex mods to repopulate the universe with loose argonians starving for some human dick
It's soulless, procgen goyslop
90% of the locations are handcrafted.
The problem is they didn't make enough locations, they aren't pre-generated but they're reused enough to be noticeable after a couple hours in
you are a lying Black person shill
>The same thing happened with Cyberpunk 2077.
Actually for me CP77 became a whole the more I played. The disconnect in it was just the state of affairs at such a large ghetto as NC.
In SF I feel like there are random features put into the game with exactly zero QA that ensures that they have some kind of connection or feature parity.
It's like a gamejam PoC just a bit larger.
I am going to play some more in a bit, take a break from MK1 until later today.
Because is a Le Realistic Sandbox Space Game now that is 70 Dollars
>Ganker can't play rpg without quests markers even redditors are better at playing games than Ganker
It's over
Did you notice pic related?
I feel so bad for snoys, they can't play this game so they have to shitpost and larp online until it gets forgotten.
Goyslop. I'll stick to Elden R
Who is the Elden R?
I am Elden R.
Is this an Elden R thread now?
For all its flaws, and the bullshit progression that comes with open woeld games, I love Elden R. Specially playing it coop. I loved exploring the map during week 1 when nobody new whats up, bit now its just fun to grind with a bud. Elden R <3
please tell me you can craft med packs
>I have no idea how far into the main story quest I am.
And it's a bad thing ? This is a sandbox RPG, you're supposed to frick around in it and do things as you stumble upon. It was the same with every previous Bethesda game. The space setting doesn't even make it more complex, it just has more loading screens.
Cyberpunk isn't the same at all. You're way more connected to the city and what you're doing in it and Keanu constantly reminds you that you have important things to do.
It took me about 24 hours to beat it even with a few sidequests thrown in there. Wasn't really worth the time it took.
?
I watched this video and then I decided to join every faction immediately
that's been giving me stuff to do constantly
