I remember when this game was a dumpster fire. Is it actually a video game now?
Yeah. Kind of.
Some people have already given their take, so I'll add to it:
The game has a couple of hours of actual, fun content. After those couple of hours you'll start to notice that everything is the same. Oh sure, the creatures and plants are made of different parts, but that's as far as the differences go. Every planet has the exact same pattern, every system has a space station with the exact same functions, so eventually it really feels like exploration doesn't matter. Which kinda sucks for a game that's supposed to be about exploration.
I've always said that exploration would've been far more impactful if the universe of No Man's Sky had just a bit more realism in it. This would mean most planets would be frozen iceballs or low atmosphere dustballs with no life on them. This would make discovering a planet with life on it quite momentous. It would also eliminate the problem of quickly finding out all life on every planet is exactly the same.
I might try this again when I get home
I've played through the game a few times and am at it again in VR. A good use of the $60 I probably spent for it.
Playing this on the playstation vr2 is mind blowing.
Do you guys do anything other than to pile on to shit on this game? Shit on Star Citizen? Shit on buying anything ever? Shit on Sean Murray and how naive he just was and you would just do such a better job right?
Thought this would be a cool place to talk about games. How do you not have any awareness that [removed for civility]
Makes sense though since Linux is [bad word] at running games unless you have a Steam Deck.
