No, it's an example of gamers being extremely forgetful and overly forgiving. The game still sucks.
>being this much of a woman
Lol
This game still fricking sucks, just accept it.
Ok, troony. No matter how much you hold grudges on a fricking videogame like a woman, you will never be a woman.
Literally read the thread, you autist, everyone is saying the game sucks. You're just trying to derail it by turning it into a /misc/ shithole.
I was on your side until you started bringing convenient Boogeymen into it
Anyone with an image like this saved is unabashedly a cancerous poltard who should frick off
ywn have sex
ywnbaw
in an age where game devs would rather not develop their game to run better and simple blame your hardware and demand you upgrade to the greatest shit to get barely good frame, yes. Most devs would have just worked on something else.
>bad game gets updates
>it's now bad game with more features
Amazing redemption arc
It's still a boring as frick walking simulator
game still shitty, i regret buying it at a cdkey site and now i can't refund it
>redemption arc because muh reddit youtuber said so!
no
I like it.
I'm looking forward to having a better permanent base in my freighter.
>everyone wants exploration improvements since it's an exploration game
>lolnope it's more irrelevant stuff with freighters/frigates
Pandering to reddit was the biggest mistake the devs made, these gays just want to roleplay like they're in star trek instead of bothering with planetary exploration. I want to like this game, it does a handful of things that are cool and aren't really done in any other game, but the core gameplay (the planetary exploration) has suffered with few improvements for far too long.
The only hope is that the rumored 'massive' 4.0 update could actually address exploration again.
it's more irrelevant stuff with freighters/frigates
>Pandering to reddit was the biggest mistake the devs made, these gays just want to roleplay like they're in star trek instead of bothering with planetary exploration.
Damn, sounds almost identical to Elite Dangerous.
It's not quite as bad as the situation with Elite Dangerous, but frustrating nonetheless.
It's good. I like the deep lore and most of the main quests. It would be massively improved if instead of a shitty survival game, it was more like death stranding. Play into the environmental hazards, massive proc gen world and its strength as a walking simulator.
Also get rid of basebuilding quests. Holy frick. Every time I think about revisiting the game, I remember the endless slog I have to sit through just to get my foot in the door and it's like no fricking thanks man. I don't want to play that shit.
You can ignore the base building from the get-go. I played it quite late so that was all in when I started and I thought it was necessary, bored the shit out of me. Turns out you can just tell it to get fricked immediately. All you need is your ship up and running.
has he publically apologised for lying about multiplayer and then saying nothing for months when his lie was revealed within hours of launch?
it has multiplayer now
I think it's admirable that they've continued to improve it, even if I still don't like it
No. It’s still a shit game. Doesn’t matter what israelitetubers/redditors say
I recently picked this up in the last steam sale. I almost refunded it immediately, but decided to stick with it. I now have over 100 hours in it. It does a lot of stuff right, but the UI/UX design is atrocious to the point of ruining the entire game. I wish that had been what they fixed in the update, but freighters were also pretty bland.
The game starts out really shit with an annoyingly drawn-out tutorial, when it opens up it's fun for a while, but then late-game content is poor. Overall, a mixed bag of a game/ It has huge potential, it could one day be an amazing game, however I'm not sure it'll ever get there. There's many fundamental flaws with the game as well which are not easy to address by this point without pissing off a lot of people one way or another (and the devs are clearly trying to pander to every demographic), the result is a disjointed mess.
>economy is fricked beyond belief, Units are worthless
>story is contradictory to the multiplayer and the anomaly/nexus
>most features are extremely shallow but they keep adding more
>one of the worst crafting systems in any survival game
>resource-gathering has seen little improvement, you still just hold a button down to mine things
I don't understand why they refuse to improve the core gameplay (exploring planets, gathering resources from planets, crafting/refining resources for profit), these are the fundamental things you do regularly in the game yet they have been given the least improvement and are arguably broken in the current state (especially the economy system), it's baffling.
There's a good game in there somewhere, they just need to stop adding random crap and focus on the core gameplay.
>economy is fricked beyond belief, Units are worthless
Units are just an early game gate.
>story is contradictory to the multiplayer and the anomaly/nexus
It's not. it talk about exactly how there are multiple galaxies with multiple players and how it is all a simulation with the anomaly at as a hub.
>most features are extremely shallow but they keep adding more
On release I would have agreed with you but it is better now and devs adding features is good not bad.
>one of the worst crafting systems in any survival game.
Play more games. There is much worse and at least nms streamlines most of it through inventory as crafting machine are not necessary.
-gathering has seen little improvement, you still just hold a button down to mine things
Wrong. There is farming, digging, trading and almost every crafting game is one button mining
You clearly either never played the game for more than an hour or are just spouting the common meme about the game on release.
>There is much worse
Congratulations, Sean
>Units are just an early game gate.
That you can overcome within an hour, tops. The economy is legitimately broken, it is trivial to crash the economy of a spacestation to get insane cash very quickly.
>It's not. it talk about exactly how there are multiple galaxies with multiple players
Admittedly, I didn't finish the main story as I lost interest halfway through but it didn't make much sense to play story missions with other players, some of them the objectives outright didn't work if you were in a party.
> devs adding features is good not bad.
I don't fully agree with this sentiment, there is such a thing as a bad feature or lack of focus on a project. This game lacks focus, it has for a while, the updates this year have been an improvement compared to previous ones though - there needs to be more focus on improving existing features, rather than adding new half-assed features that amount to barely 20 minutes worth of gameplay.
>Play more games. There is much worse
Such as? NMS's is the worst out of the games I've played, a lot of that is down to the poor UI design and the tedium of using refiners (and, yes, I'm including the portable refiner in that)
>Wrong.
I was referring to the mining specifically, I should've been clearer. Mining has seen little change, imo there should be varying tiers of mining upgrades instead of only the 'advanced' upgrade that has been the case for many years. Additional tools for gathering specific resources yourself also should be expanded upon, it's an exploration game yet most of the game's systems funnel you into idly gathering resources in the background rather than you actively harvesting them yourself in various ways. This results in the moment-to-moment gameplay on a planet being really poor.
I have played around 40 hours of the game so far.
i played 48 hours of it. its as wide as an ocean as shallow as a puddle. it has an absolutely massive amount of content but not much of it is very engaging for long.
I bought it on release and refunded it.
Bought it again during steam sale and have already clocked 60 hours. Its exploration/crafting/base building busy work. But it is satisfying when you have a nice base, nice ship, nice freighter, nice settlement or even just pissing around exploring. New update really shitted up my freighter though. But being able to portal everywhere really improved quality of life.
It's still an empty shitty crafting game but now it has MP yaaaaaaaaas
>but now it has MP
It had multiplayer like 5 years ago
You're fricking moronic, OP is talking about the game being patched after release
'redemption arc' implies something gradual, i.e. not fixed from the first major update fricking years ago.
Also, I don't think the game is fully redeemed anyway so not sure why you're mad.
>Also, I don't think the game is fully redeemed anyway
Weasel words to try and present the game as better than it is while still fitting in with disliking it
The game is utter shit. A 1/10 a best
It's like a 4/10, the epitome of mediocrity.
It can be fun for a while, but all its features are extremely shallow. Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.
it's not fun so no
go back
>muh reddit
Everyone on Ganker originally came from reddit except really really oldgays(larpers). Who doesn't use reddit as this point?
Why do redditors think everyone on the internet uses reddit?
GO BACK
>Everyone on Ganker originally came from reddit
M8 are you mental?
It's just pathetic at this point. No one can honestly tell me they have more productive conversations on Ganker than reddit. You can actually have a threaded discussion about some topic on reddit. On Ganker it's tough as balls to keep a conversation on topic with how erratic the reply system is so everything devolves into juvenile bants and react images. It's funny 10% of the time, and obnoxious the other 90%.
Oh and the board catalog fills up with actual porn and seething about black people. You see more SJW talking points on Ganker than actual SJW forums because chancels will let absolutely anything live in their head rent free. The inferiority complex could not be more transparent.
Its still a single randomized planet isolated from everything masked with a shitty loading screen when you go from one to another.
So no, its still shit, doesn't blow a cake candle to space engine
this game has the worst opening ive ever seen. its first few hours are so fricking boring and tedious. just let me explore jesus christ
The new update looks pretty sick. I've always found freighters to be not much more than mobile parking garages, but now they actually seem interesting.
>version 3.94
they're just dragging things out as long as they can before version 4.0, aren't they?
Integer updates must be big and meaningful, like Beyond.
They're clearly stalling from releasing 4.0, which only makes me wonder what the frick could possibly be in it.
It was a bit of the game sucking balls and not delivering on promises and a bit of everyone not realizing they didn't want to play an endless terrain simulator until after they played it and blamed Hello Games for it.
>Lie and release a shit game
>Give free shits to appease morons
It just revealed how little the consumers care. Fricking hell this industry needs to die or something to set things right.
Very few people kept the game if they bought it at launch, most got refunds.
People buying it now are buying it with the expectations that it has what the game currently advertises itself to have.
I think the game is mediocre in its current state, but to claim that people can't like it now is rather ridiculous.
Sony pumped them up for a full release when they were just going to release is as Early access. I remember watching the presentation and the dev seemed unsure of the games release.
Nah. Final Fantasy XIV holds that crown.
I don't know of any other example where the company said "No, this is not a good enough game for our flagship series. Burn it all down and start over." and then actually did it.
The first and only appropriate post itt
it's still shit.
I pirated it maybe 2 years ago, liked it a lot, it ran well on my PC despite me having a shitty 1060 3gb. I then made the mistake of wasting 50 dollars on the legit game to do the Reddit thing of ‘supporting’ le devs (as well as play with my friend online), but then the game’s performance just tanked for whatever reason and now it’s sitting in my library never able to get refunded. Safe to say I’ll never do some shit like that again
I played it for the first time last month and had abysmal performance until I changed some windows setting that suddenly made the game run smoothly. It has something to do with your CPU rather than your GPU, especially if you have an older CPU. That said, not tried the new update so maybe they patched this issue now.
No? It's still one of the worst games I have ever played and I check it out every update
Will 4.0 finally fix the game?
Starfield will fix it
>no seamless takeoff and reentry
Sad!
>cutscene to leave planets
so close yet so far
>No flight outside of a planet's orbit
OHNONONONONO
New update corrupted most people's freighters lmfao
I put in like 15 hours last week
But man I just reached a point where I couldn't be bothered to deal with the UI
moving around stuff, jumping from system to system, harvesting and organizing shit take so much fricking time
I'm having the same gripes. I had dropped it a while ago for that after 2 hours and been trying it again recently, but why is inventory so fricking limited? I'm discouraged from exploring because I have way too much shit to carry and store.
I know that I can apparently use extra ships and shit but that sounds really inconvenient, not sure I really like the fantasy of being an explorer with a whole swarm of cargo ships. Speaking of, do you get to explore planets that don't constantly have ships flying over it with a space station close to it? Kinda ruins the initial fantasy I had of finding a nice lonely planet to build my dream base on.
>I know that I can apparently use extra ships and shit but that sounds really inconvenient
man you don't know the half of it, it's so fricking inconvenient
>Speaking of, do you get to explore planets that don't constantly have ships flying over it with a space station close to it?
yeah after the 5th fricking planet it gets fricking tiresome
"you're the first to discover this planet!"
meanwhile 10 fricking armadas flying overhead
frick outta here
Damn
I wanted to explore planets with my ship and build a nice home base, but it's starting to feel like the game won't scratch that itch.
I think FFXIV might be better -- they took the whole shit down while they worked on it and re-released a game that wound up being pretty okay.
NMS is decent for a few hours, but it quickly gets repetitive.
>not a single woman in the entire game
based devs
>we're going to fix it we promise!
so you're going to turn a tech demo into an actual game with dynamic exploration, interesting space mechanics, and mediocre at best combat?
>lol no it's now a collectathon tech demo
I enjoyed it for about 30 hours. It's worth maybe 5 dollars
>30 hours of enjoyable gameplay is worth $5
???
It is.
Game never promised to be space sim at all. And despite all shallow mechanics, horrible flight model, NMS is still getting updates for free. Meanwhile one particular company killed their own space game.
>updates for free
they aren't free if you paid for the game.
what
all updates are the devs trying to repair their reputation. If you bought the game, you paid for all those updates. They aren't free. They are created out of good will, they're created because they fricked up when promoting the game.
They have no reason to updated game after first updates - first promises. Not even talking about how "reputation" doesn't mean shit in game industry. Other space game not only didn't deliver 80% of promises, but pulled out season pass shit, expansions and no content
I thought about playing it recently because of a big patch but half the mods I had didn't work and didn't want to play without them
no
it's not even good, it's just busywork
anyone who says the game is 'fixed' is lying, a shill, or a simpleton
>greatest redemption arc
not even close shill
it's at least not overlord's saying 'let them eat cake'
it's more like liar gets caught and eventually relatively satisfies their claims so they don't have to cut and run and never make money again
I bought it, started on Hard mode, got killed within 3 minutes because I spawned on a radioactive planet or some shit, started again, another planet that had hazards and I died immediately, again, radioactivity and death, uninstalled.
NMS is too hardcore. Try phone games.
>hard mode is hard
in other news, water is wet
Game needs to be 99% lifeless rocks so find lush worlds is actually exciting and requires exploration. There is no incentive to explore inthis game since everything you need is is so evenly and abundantly distributed.
Exploration is meme. Especially in video game. People just don't know what they want since this "exploration" thing is vague feeling.
Crafting, building in hostile environment are creating the feeling of home.
>Exploration is meme
Especially in video game
POI distribution needs a major overhaul, as well as improvement to planet generation is sorely needed (rivers, waterfalls, proper valleys and more distinct landmass variation within a planet), I hear some people request different biomes per planet, but I think that would have to be very rare if implemented. Rather, I think planets should have terrain variation regardless of if they have other biome types present - at the moment, planets can have gradual height increasing as you travel around, and bodies of water can gradually transition into a full ocean, but that's about it. It'd be a lot better if you could go from flat fields into a full-on mountainous region within the same planet, which isn't currently possible afaik. Proper overhanging cliffs are also not really possible with the current generator.
Agree wholeheartedly.
There is a decent amount of content in total (in terms of different stuff to do), but each of those things is so shallow that you're barely spending an hour on each one before having done everything you'd want to with them. Base building can be more of a timesink if you care for it, I guess? There's little reason to bother with it, though.
>Exploration is meme. Especially in video game
NMS is literally an exploration game. That's the intent, anyway, they've done a rather poor job of facilitating the exploration of the game though (see first paragraph)
>There's little reason to bother with it, though.
i found there was little reason to bother with anything. i was lucky enough to get enough credits to buy a perfect a perfect s class fighter, and even luckier to have one spawn. i bought it, and combat didnt change at all, i just had more capacity to grind for units in my ship. combat was still a case of hold S and spam lasers until the enemy shield was gone, and then fire one rocket to finish them.
base building was the same. hold lmb to farm, build a base, farm more to build more to farm more to build more, holding lmb all the while
Yup, most of the game's mechanics are shallow as frick.
Even after some updates and technical improvements, the combat is extremely shallow in the game. Flight model is crap as well.
I get that those are "not the focus" in an exploration game, but then at the same time where are the exploration updates??
why do people like crafting shit so much? its so boring and pointless. i dont see how the game is "improved" if thats mostly what they add
skyrim anon
>it's terrible on release since it's a walking and gathering simulator without any real objective; none of the increasingly more interesting biomes, crazy monsters and unfolding mysteries that they initially promised; all the planets felt like "been there, done that" after 5 hours of play; no gameplay systems to make it interesting since the combat and trading and interacting with other species were all shallow as frick
>they literally did nothing but just add even more shit to collect and craft while leaving ALL the real issues completely untouched
>this is somehow redemption
I hate zoomers so fricking much it's unreal.
>muh zoomers
>need real objective just to play game
Zoom-zoom.
but without skinner box mechanics, how are we supposed to have fun in modern video games?
>mfw cutting out the mutiplayer from the switch version
it can be patched in later on right.......?
I wouldn't count on it.
Doubt the game will run well on switch either considering it's not that well optimized in general and the switch is, well, the switch.
seeing NMS mainly makes me wish for Spore 2
we got a couple of planet games but not all that much agency. of course that is the hard part so I am not holding my breath.
this game looks so pretty, wish it was actually fun to play
