>still can't design or even recolour your ship
lame
Is this worth on sale?
You can get it for 10 bucks on some sales so sure, when you get bored you come back every few months
frick off moron
it's not even worth $10
Ok then pirate it.
No, it’s worse than any Bethesda game somehow. There’s literally frick all to do even with all these updates.
>wow you can now ride animals
>wow you can now build bases
>wow you can now have robots
>wow you can now have freight ships
>wow you can now have alien ships
Okay, what do you do with all of that?
>uh, uh, player joy! More play time!
Base gameplay loop fricking sucks that’s why, it’s worse than Minecraft. If you listen to the goober shill that orbits these threads you’re in for a treat, he’ll try to downplay all this shit and say there’s a lot more to do now.
Btw Starshills will try to convince you otherwise but their game is really only slightly better than No Man’s Sky, the only thing it’s got going for it are actual combat mechanics and a story that they put one iota of effort into.
lol bethesda games have like 1/5 of that if even
you walk 10 minutes any direction in a bethesda and youll find more depth than the entirety of NMS. its so so ludicrously shallow you can go hours playing without finding something that felt like it was designed by a human to be engaging or fun.
kek suuuuure
>he doesn't have friends to frick around in NMS
What a sad state of Bethesda drones
I did dumbass, I even played it in VR, it’s still trash and a complete waste of time, not once did I feel like I gained anything memorable from it
>bethdrones
Lmao, kek even
nta, but what can you really do with friends in NMS? I'm not being a c**t, I'm genuinely asking as I really enjoy the minecraft-style freedom of making autistic bases on different planets and such, but when a buddy of mine asks, I can't really come up with a justification for him to buy it, as he mostly likes to play co-op shit.
everything you can do normally? like there's no content you can't play in coop
i haven't yet bothered but if you are not forced to play on max difficulty it should be easy as dying in this game normally is very hard
>everything you can do normally? like there's no content
This much is true, there is no content.
>NMS has ground vehicles and seamlessly going from space to planet
>Starfield doesn't even have this
ON ON OPN O NO NON O NO NON O NO N ONO
>YEAH I'M A FAN OF SANDBOX GAMES DON'T HIT ON ME FILTHY CASUALS
>sees actual sandbox game
>muh player enjoy
moron
I keep hoping they'll add some improvements to exploration which used to be the whole appeal of the game but instead they just keep adding random feature islands that sound epic to redditors
Their last galactic regeneration was in 2017 iirc, that was also their big exploration, biome & story update. We haven't gotten something like that ever since.
>Base gameplay loop fricking sucks that’s why, it’s worse than Minecraft
Better than minecraft but not by much
>Better than minecraft
How?
No, really, how?
>Play minecraft
>Break tree
>Break rock
>break iron rock
>break diamond rock
>break lava rock
And that's it, vanilla minecraft is shallow as frick
That hasn't been the minecraft progression for at least the past 5 years. It's all about villager trade halls and various exploity farms.
>Game is so shit people have to abuse the system to get anything out of it
I stand by my point
Yeah, and in NMS the common cheese is to crash the market of a space station, or alternatively setup autominers for endless nanites. Don't act like NMS' progression is any better at all, in fact I'd argue it's worse.
NMS is shit for as many reasons as there are planets in the game but at least there's a tiny bit more to it than breaking rocks, like breaking rocks and having a spaceship. Or breaking rocks and fighting stuff. Or breaking rocks and building a base by crafting new items. Or breakings rocks to break more rocks!
Yea NMS is so awful I can't defend it, but mincraft is just about breaking rocks forever, the animals suck, moving suck, the food system is fricking awful. Even the mining and crafting part fricking suck.
I ain't gonna pretend minecraft is much better but aspects of it do have some more depth compared to NMS (which lacks really any depth at all), for example as I said earlier in mc the metagame is to make villager trading halls and even though they're a big cheese (that apparently the devs want to nerf), they do require some knowledge of mechanics to work via a zombie-villager curing loop setup - typically built using minecart tracks. Come to think of it, NMS would honestly benefit from ripping off how redstone works, functional logic gates and other contraptions could help add some depth and functionality to the otherwise mostly pointless builds (and occasional shallow farms) that people make. Yes, I'm aware there's already electricity in NMS but it's half-baked at best with very few practical uses outside autominers and powering portals. Just look at some of the autistic insanity people make with minecraft redstone compared to NMS's electrical wiring.
>used the term "gameplay loop"
immediately disregarded your opinion
jealous bethesda dev spotted
>mine rock to fuel ship
>uh oh suit ran out of fuel!
>mine rock to fuel suit
>mine more rock to fuel ship
>fly somewhere else
>ship is out of fuel!
Every time there is a new feature, partaking in them revolves around this process. Except you need to mine even more resources for any new mechanic
The game is for people with brains that have creativity flare and imagination and can create there own fun.
If your brainless idiot who needs mummy to make your fun for you then this game is not for you.
Still feels like spore all over after all these years.
The planets are just so damn plain and boring.
Yes, but you REALLY have to like what NMS or you'll easily hate it. IT does not appeal to most people.
NMS is nothing you moron, it's an MMO for autists where you do nothing but grind.
>As big as the multiplayer aspect is
you can coop with your moronic friends and do nothing isn't a big aspect
Maybe some people like having a game with very little direction, it is a sandbox after all anon. I agree it's as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle, but each update the puddle gets just a little deeper. Really, they made their good will back years ago when Internet Historian dropped that video, they could have packed it up then and there and made Joe Danger Revengeance or whatever but they kept on. I personally can't hate on them for that, at least they're trying which is more than be said for a lot of devs.
if you can pick it up super cheap and you're in the mood for some comfy space exploration then yeah. I'm not going to say its some great redemption arc like some but i come back to the game every once in a while to check out the new updates, and the "lone wanderer in a near-empty universe" vibe gives me a feel that i can't really describe but i enjoy
i got bored after 20 hours, this was after most of the updates had already come out
Honestly, no. I've had this trash shit since launch and every few years I somehow manage to convince myself a new update may have finally changed it for the better. Fire it up, grind the fricking boring as hell systems to see something new, and then I regret wasting my time on shallow boring empty repetitive garbage yet again. It is completely empty and what you do on the first planet is what you do on the last.
its minecraft in space. If you want that it's a decently relaxing exploration game that gets repetetive eventually but by the time you get to that point you'll have done and seen a lot of stuff.
The 7 year hate boner people have for this game is just laughable though. Games can actually improve it turns out. Yes Sean was an absolute charlatan when the game came out and I was one of the people who shit on it too but i'm not an emotionally immature child and can change my opinion when the game improves and it did.
>Sean was an absolute charlatan when the game came out
both parties are at fault - Sean for lying too hard and biting way more than he can chew and snoy for forcing a single digit dev team to release a game way too prematurely instead of helping with something else other than marketing
though the game was at least fixed so the only ones seething about it are morons and people who try to pl;ay the game clearly not made for them
>who try to play the game clearly not made for them
but the game was made for me. it was always advertised as a chill exploration experience where the focus was on discovering cool new planets, the original reason to progress to the center was because planets were supposed to get more varied closer to the center (which still isn't a thing and never will be because they refuse to touch planet generation except in that one update that actually made the generation worse). they put so little effort into variety that the second you see a planet is toxic/snowy/desert you know exactly what it will look like before you even land
they only pivoted into making it a basebuilding survival game after they gave up on doing anything with the procgen, which sucks because there's 5000 basebuilding survival game and 0 procgen exploration games
>which still isn't a thing and never will be because they refuse to touch planet generation except in that one update that actually made the generation worse
This is because it will destroy basebuilding. The last timw they changed the procedual generation it caused thousands of people to mald and mass downvote the game on the steam store
NMS has over 256 galaxies (since, technically, negative galaxy values work but are not accessible without hacking) with the vast majority of players only having a base in galaxy 1 (Euclid), surely it is feasible that they could introduce new terrain only to unexplored galaxies?
Probably they'd need to reengineer their backend, but that's possible.
I figure there must be some technical reason that they haven't done it yet, since planet gen improvements are by far the most requested feature yet they keep ignoring it.
It's like playing paradox games or Total war. It's going to be non-functional at release but where else am I going to invade France with Tiger tanks or paint the map Lithuania red?
it is very worth it but you have to shoot rocks with a laser for 40 hours before it gets good
by this point you will be addicted to mining rocks and everything the game does will be good
absolute kino in vr
If you like Minecraft and can "make your own adventure" with a little imagination, then yes, the game's worth it.
If you need a game that tells you what to do and lead you by the hand, then no the game's not worth it.
I like minecraft yet still don't like no man's sky
Can you frick aliens now?
Literally who fricking cares at this point? Starfield is like 10 days away
>he cares about Bethesda's games
Guess which one of these game lets you go from planet to planet while piloting your ship and not giving you a loading screen traveling from planet to planet
If that feature is such a big deal why does no one care about NMS, star citizen or elite dangerous?
No man sky sold 10 million copies so.......
I wonder why... the marketing for the game was out the fricking roof.
That feature is neat... for the first 5 times or so, after a while you start using portals, there's literally no reason to go around a big empty void for 10 minutes every time.
No one cares about it because it's a pointless feature.
Notice how it’s only ponies who hate Starfield?
>Guess which one of these game lets you go from planet to planet while piloting your ship and not giving you a loading screen traveling from planet to planet
I'll take the one that actually has things to do on the planets
>See that mountain over their? You can climb it, on foot, and nothing will be there either.
>Literally who fricking cares at this point? Starfield is like 10 days away
I like that they keep updating this.
I'm waiting for an update that emphasizes lore and 4x gameplay. If I can get to the level where I have an empire or entire civilization (and interact with it). Perfect game. Stellaris with and FPS mode. Glorious.
>4x gameplay
I really don't see this happening. NMS has always been about your personal journey.
>I like that they keep updating this.
moron
still better than this shit
This is the kind of delusion you should only be seeing BEFORE game launches. Are you so moronic to think NMS could be transformed into a 4X? Get grounded in reality
can you frick robots now?
THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO DO
>still can't fully customize your main player ship
It's like they don't want me to play ever again
what's the point? there is nothing to do
I want to like this game but the endgame and general gameplay loop needs to be changed
>Game about exploring
>Updates turn it into a game about building a base in one spot and hunkering down
The game wasn’t about anything because contrary to the advertising at launch you couldn’t do frick all other than shoot a laser at a rock
the original game was about exploring it was just very simple
I liked this idea. What made me stop is the bugs, the lack of precision to place items, or terraform. The performances for big base is trash, the fricking solar panels playing loop sound because the game can't load them properly. The game can't even load the terrain geometry properly so friends will get stuck in front of rocks spawning in your corridors.
>Game about your 20s
>after failure and disappointment sets in it's about being in your 30s
No it isn't, numb nuts. You can have portals to wherever the frick right there in your base and on your freighter.
>giant worm comes out of the ground
Scamming a Citizen already quaking in their gold dipped boots
Is there any difference between a pirated copy or legit one? Is netplay worth it?
yes. game is dirt cheap and getting all the updates and netplay is worth paying 10$
You get the updates if you pirate doe
no besides the expeditions that are limited time and nothing but grind
frick off
they made bank when it first released and the updates can be done in a week by a student
>they made bank when it first released and the updates can be done in a week by a student
Do people really think this is how game development works
From what I remember, it's quite extensive. The netplay hub is most likely accessible even online, since it has a lot things important to the gameplay and story, but you don't get to participate in the expedition events. This only matters if you care about said events, though, since, as far as I'm aware, all the rewards are purely cosmetic stuff.
As big as the multiplayer aspect is, i don't actually use it often. I guess if you have friends who often play the game and you like meeting random people whenever you feel like it then yeah, but otherwise don't bother.
From where do they get the money to do this many updates? I like it but I don't believe the games sells this many copies to profit while giving more free content every few months
you could pay a pajeet $100 for an update, that's how primitive they are
Their entire careers and business relies on them resurrecting the corpse. If they had just abandoned it no one would ever trust them with anything again. Also, all 4chin's whining about unfulfilled promises, only acts as free advertising to normies who buy it in droves and don't care about 'we still haven't got...'
There's mods to run the expeditions offline.
I assume they subcontract on other projects and this one is their portfolio and ambition game.
I wanted to like this game but it's so fricking boring once you've spent like 20 minutes doing every different activity
>release update at the same date as AC6
>expedition soon
motherfrickers
i know the expedition can be done in an evening or two unless they timegate it again but they couldn't pick a worse time
I'll give the game another try after I get tired of Armored Core.
I like the atmosphere and vibe of this game, I always boot it up every few months just to fly around before getting bored again.
>still the same 5 planet types all over
I just gotta congratulate them for keeping up with updates, hope ciberbug does this too
This game really shows that you can polish a turd and people will eat it. Impressive.
Switch bros we won
Thabks lisa su fsr2 is a godsend
still no multiplayer because of huge hardware issue for some reason
i'm surprised it even runs at all it was semi unplayable on ps4
Just bought a physical copy last month for switch. Glad I decided to wait on the Echoes update before diving in fresh. Going to be a trip on the small handheld.
Thats pretty cool stuff.
Ironic.
>Thabks lisa su fsr2 is a godsend
Funny, the Switch uses an NVIDIA GPU.
how does this even run on switch?
with 480p, 20fps and PS2 graphics
Nah it is just on low settings the graphics are honestly a bit similar to the steam deck. Though the Steam Deck runs it at 45 fps with a lot of dips on standard low settings.
>still no actual multiplayer mod
I bought 2 copies each, it's alright my little brother thinks the games cooler then Minecraft just because you can visit different planets
Why game sale discount is still 50% on Steam?
I want to buy it, but with like 75% discount at very least
I keep waiting for years already, what the frick is wrong with them
there's no dlc/microtransactions so I guess the plan is to never make it dirt cheap
I may be wrong but I recall Sean saying many years ago that the game will never have an official discount higher than 50%, ever.
same reason why it's still 60$ despite never being worth that price. because of all the """FREE""" updates. sounds like DSP lol
I started a new file the other day, its more fun that it was on launch for sure.
How should I go about getting a new ship? Save up money and buy one off an NPC, fix one I find, or quest related shit? I found a broken sentinel interceptor yesterday, but some of the parts i needed to fix it seem to be glitched, the enemies i need to kill for it never appeared. I also heard about a living ship, is that any good?
Getting a shitton of money and buying an S class ship belonging to npcs you can find in rich systems is way easier than finding crashed S class ships and repairing them. If you want a living ship then there's a questline for that, forgot how it happens but they're pretty great ships. Just know that these use different upgrades from mechanical ships. Not that it matters too much, you can summon several ships whenever you want.
OK, then I'll start stacking units again. Last time i played was like 5 years ago, and I saved up a shit load and bought a good ship with lots of space, but now the inventory seems a lot easier to manage so I'll probably focus on making it a warship. Is there really still no way to customize ships? I could've swore i read something about ship editing on a freighter, or was that just customizing its interior?
Sadly there's no exterior customization, only interior.
wow, that blows. i've seen a lot of really cool ships that didnt exist when i first started in the nexus last few days, all kinds of shapes and shit. here i was getting ideas about what to make, now i know i just need to sit and wait for one i like. This was my last one, i think i can do a lot better
You can do a lot better, but it will take some tries.
Best of luck anon
The game design is that you find a cool ship you like. You have to go to the frigging Reddit and look around to see if someone else has found a nice one, then you have to camp the station and see if you can get it at high enough rank.
there's a pretty good website where you can select what parts you want on a ship and it'll check to see if any exist and what system. It's how I got this.
https://nmsge.com/
forgot to link it
How should I go about getting a new ship? Save up money and buy one off an NPC, fix one I find, or quest related shit?
whichever suits your fancy, finding ships is always worth it because you can have up to...6 or so? so you can find a ship even if it's shit and sell it so you can either buy a new one or upgrade one you found
> I found a broken sentinel interceptor yesterday, but some of the parts i needed to fix it seem to be glitched, the enemies i need to kill for it never appeared.
those are bogus, it's better to not engage with em early on
I also heard about a living ship, is that any good?
it's a flying potato, if you like ugly ships then sure
>How should I go about getting a new ship?
find a decent interceptor or sell crap ones until you can afford a S rank solar then park your ass on pirate world trading hub and wait until it appears
>the enemies i need to kill for it never appeared
big spider bot things are in every encounter once you hit 3+ encounter level and while drill things are rare they are not that rare and shown on scanner
>I also heard about a living ship, is that any good?
no the quest is timegate central and you need frickton on nanites to evolve enough tech
btw look up how to get S rank freighters on youtube so you don't waste your freebie like a moron and have to grind 250 million
Do i have to repair ships fully in order to be able to sell them? Fixing ships used to take fricking ages so I havent bothered with any that I've seen yet, been focusing on getting a good gun/suit and a stable base to work from.
I also turned down the first freighter i rescued from pirates because it had a small cargo hold - but mostly because it was manned by filthy Vy'keen
You don't sell ships, you take them to a station to deconstruct and sell the parts. I think you need only the launch mechanism and thruster engine repaired to get them to a station.
Best way to get ships is talk to the cartographer on a station, closest guy to the base telepor. Buy Distress coordinates from him. They lead either to a crashed freighter, an NPC with a broken ship or an abandoned wreck you can fix up.
Okay, thanks for the advice. Just turned it on now, gonna look for the new robots and shit, will screencap what you said for future use
>Do i have to repair ships fully in order to be able to sell them?
No you only need to repair the bare minimum so it becomes mobile, ignore or strip the rest. Interceptors don't even have broken parts and are stupidly expensive
>I also turned down the first freighter i rescued from pirates
you need to do that anyway because the second offer is guaranteed capital so all you have to do is find the one you like and savescum it
>How do i get money
Pump chlorine like it's 1943 and crash the market like it's 1929
Why haven't they abandoned this game?
I guess Hello Games still sees a lot of value in it, perhaps as a standalone IP.
Its shocking there's not a single microtransaction in the game. I assume the money they make from selling the game itself covers the project costs somehow.
The team doesn't go for Infinite Growth, I bet, so they can comfortably live off the initial and ongoing sales. Never let your company go publicly traded.
It's what happens when a developer wants to genuinely add more to their game and not milk players of their money
They make enough money from this and joe danger to do whatever they want, and what they want it seems is to keep updating this, also that puzzle game they released a few years ago.
it's their passion project
sometimes things are done because people want to do so
10
Million
Copies
And the updates are basically glorified ads
cho s
>still no multibiome planets
>exactly the same structures and points of interest everywhere
They really really need to mix up the planet generation, there so little incentive to explore other systems since there's nothing actually unique to find
>destroy components in tactical space battle
holy frick I'm loading up NMS today just to feel like I'm playing mid-00's battlefront 2
So, this is on 50% sale right now. Should I get it?
sure
a lot of people find it shallow but might as well do the main questlines at least
I'm going in blind, any tips without too many spoilers?
Look for a hole ASAP, kill plants, then do what the game tells you to
Do story mode it unlocks a ton of shit for free
Except ignore the game's recommendations when base building step comes out and only build on lush planet. Avoid building the base on toxic planets at all costs they are dreary as frick and you will hate yourself
launch thruster auto charger is very helpful for exploration
>get a few scanner upgrades
>now get 30k units everytime i scan a new rock or plant
holy shit, new ship here i come - here i was mining gold like an ass for a few days
When you get 3 S rank scanners you will get half a million per creature. Never grind mats for money
What kind of freighter setup should i go for, im at that stage in the game where im considering getting one
Still waiting on that planet update, fricking when
show your starship
Been using it for about 6 years
i always found that design to be kind of goofy
lmao the game makes really fricked up screenshots with dlss, made a better one
yeah it's fricking stupid the in-game photo mode takes the screenshot at the lower internal resolution before it applies the temporal scaling like what the frick.
I love these flying gaming PCs
Mine's the one on the right.
The game runs like shit for me and I don't know why.
It was fine a couple years ago and now it just lags when I walk around on a planet.
Check if you got a shitty upscaling on.
Did they make proc gen for planets more interesting yet or can I go back to sleep? All these bells and whistles are pointless, I just want fun exploration.
>they're STILL updating NMS
Have they changed the boring ass core gameplay loop and extremely slow start yet?
>extremely slow start
that's the most fun part of the game
I'll pirate it as always, play for like 2 hours because these updates don't actually add anything of substance then leave it for the next update in a few months.
whoa cool! maybe release your shitty game when it's finished next time! (there will be no next time)
They already made 10 million copies salty fricker
just loaded it up on psvr2. started a new game and was instantly met with a purple planet and weird cows awkwardly walking on their back legs. turned it off.
is there any way to make it stop going into fricking letter box mode every time i do something? frick milestones, let me play the game
No, in fact it will do that even more for other reasons besides milestones and you can never turn it off
There was a mod to disable that, probably not updated for Echoes yet.
hellogames is the AA version of a rag-tag roguelike dev team that never stops updating their game
fricks sake all my mods broke with this update, my base is floating 100m in the sky now 🙁
How many of you made it to the center in Permadeath?
That's cool an all but I just cant give a singular frick about about games with no humans it.
I don't care about bug eye xenoBlack person needing 30 rods or the oppression of robots on planet frickall-B981.
I desperately want a game that is an expanded version of the frigate manager. I would put a thousand hours into just that.
The only space game I care about is star citizen.
how many years development hell now
Realistically from 2015 until now is serious development, before then they didn't even have the staff needed to make consistent progress.
>First contact with the Autophage is them trying to hijack your ship with a computer virus
If that's how they say "hello" they must be bad news
>still doesn't look as good as initial reveal
it's 100% shit
should I buy it for the online shit? any "fun" stuff to do if I am a lone rapist?
online is just coop.
Depends on how much grind you can stomach.
I personally get a lot more mileage out of the game with some simple mods that make mining instant (Frick having to stare at a rock for 10 seconds just to get shit from it) and stuff like inventory stack expansions so it's not as much back and forth and inventory juggling.
Basically cutting out the gruntwork and focusing more on the exploration or building aspect of the game. Because in vanilla there's a shitload of gruntwork.
But without the grunt work there's not enough game.
>grinding
lol, just use a save editor. You can even use it to get all multiplayer rewards including from past events
> C H O S
>it's another update that adds more irrelevant side content instead of improving the actual game
>people will see there's an update and go OMG LE WHOLESOME 100 REDEMPTION ARC even though the game still sucks
imagine if they spent even half the dev time they used on making basebuilding parts and FOMO cosmetic rewards on making planets not all look identical
or the galaxy being completely and utterly lifeless. the most pointless, soulless, lifeless game of all time.
One of the few games Ive ever used a trainer in. Its just SO much grinding, like a fricking korean MMO
We have robots at home
These robits are different. Haven't gotten far in the quest yet, but since they live on Dissonant Worlds, I'm assuming they came from the World of Glass.
Best way to make money is still stealing boatloads of illegal goods, right?
Is the start of the autophage questline bugged? been warping all around with 4 different save files and none of them get the start to trigger
Conan exiles but without any thrill or danger lmao.
>trailer prominently shows taking off from ground and flying into space
Kek, are they flexing on Todd here? The timing and focus seems intentional.
tbqh nearly all NMS update trailers show this since it is the best technical feat of the game.
>see that planet? you can fly there (but for real)
Except it's not real simulated space either. The planets are super close together and you can't manually fly between systems
>manually fly between systems
Meaning what? You can warp wherever you like.
By bringing up a menu, you can't just point yourself in a random direction and hit light speed to who knows where.
>manually fly between systems
That seems to be rare in 3D space games
Seen 2D ones that let you do that
Ahhh what a time to be alive, watching the Bethesda-drones unable to compute why their game won't be successful while the rest of us NMS enjoyers are getting another quality, FREE update
You're kinda coping and seething if you think Starfield isn't going to be successful...
I'm going to buy it for the coom mods
Like with everything Bethesda releases, the community will make it a success, it will be your guys who enhance the game to the point of it being playable. Call it coping if you want but starfield is nothing without you fans making the improvements the game needed to begin with....but aren't you tired of doing all that work for nothing? I know I would be
>work for nothing
The fun we as gamers have is not nothing.
so it's fun making the mods? mods that should've been already Implemented features in the game but have no been relegated to a fan mod that can be adsorbed, used and claimed by the company you made it for? erasing your involvement entirely. I wonder how long fallout 76 was fun for until Bethesda got off their asses and fixed it for you making it playable, how many months after release did it take for that to happen?
As a spacechud, I enjoy NMS for what it is but I also have high hopes for Starfield. NMS is very light on a lot of parts of the 'space explorer fantasy'. The ships are basically single-seat fighter jets. Starfield lets you fly bigger ships with interiors.
I enjoy Minecraft. Modded Minecraft.
>copies name from Eve
>copies robot idea from Deep Rock
lol
games too easy
gameplay loop sucks balls
wasted 100 hours getting the best ships just to have them and realized there was no point at all.
all I remember doing is shooting up cargo ships and stealing shit to sell in the next system for gorillions of cash so I could buy anything
the derelict thing was bugged on launch so was able to max out my frigate's upgrades instantly instead of grinding for an extra 10000 hours. Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. Derelicts were ass anyway. Way too easy
yeah, I'm sure starfields permadeath mode will offer more of a challenge....
I'm hoping so
at the very least combat will be more fun and offer more of a challenge
>new update
>comments are all heckin wholesome because of all the updates

Nobody plays for the gameplay, they play for the basebuilding and exploration. Though, they have at least attempted to improve the dogshit gameplay recently.

I enjoyed NMS for like 70h but I gotta say these last updates are weak as frick and won't be able to compete with what Starfield got to offer. NMS devs need to put in ten times the effort in content if they don't want their game to finally die for good.
they're working on a new game (as yet unannounced), so updates are winding down as I suspect whatever ambitious new title they're working on is taking most dev resources.
>what Starfield got to offer.
even weak updates are better than literal nothing
