No Man's Sky - Part 2 - 1 thread down, 17,999,999,999,999,999,999 to go

[XX]

What No Man's Sky is is something that has never been done before.

It's not even the first space game to use procedural generation.

You guys are hilarious.

What No Man's Sky is is something that has never been done before. What some people seemed to think No Man's Sky was going to be is something completely impossible at this point in time.

Lol wut.

I thought this was a AAA title with all the hype it was getting. $60 for a shallow indie game? Ridiculous.

This game is better than your favorite game

This thread isn't at all what SniperHF promised when he was talking about a new no mans sky thread. He blatantly lied, most of what he promised is not present.

I'm posting this from mobile because when I opened the thread on my computer the browser crashed.

Anyway, what's the point of having a thread with 1,000 posts if they're all the same, with slight variations? You know all the posts are just going to be about how great the game is or how much the game sucks. Where's the variation there? Why should I bother checking in on new posts when they're just going to recap what's already been said.

Sniper is a liar and I'll be ashamed with you all if we allow #HFGeek to get away with this.

Well, I mean, it's certainly not an innovative game like Call of Duty 16 Modern Warfare 8 Black Ops 4 Special Edition.

You can't trot out gun play as a "featured video" and then say "well what were you expecting?" if the gun play is bad.

After watching that video I wondered why they highlighted it at all, because it looked really meh and kind of a tacked on element of it.

I understand what you're saying. CoD is trash, EA NHL series is trash. This is the problem with the gaming industry. Little innovation for a big price, and unfortunately, a lot of people will eat it up. However, innovation by itself doesn't necessarily make a game great either. NMS is ambitious and the concept is great, but the final product is not; especially not for the price of 60 dollars. I'd buy it for $20, sure. More than I can say for CoD or a lot of other AAA garbage out there.

Really enjoying this game thus far. But this made me legit LOL.

 

[Beef Invictus]

That's amazing

Ok that actually made me laugh.

But seriously, I love this game. I can understand how it may not be for everyone. I just very much enjoy the exploring aspect of the game (which in my opinion was the original intent of the game, and not all the other expectations people had, for whatever reason).

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah that was pretty great. The world's are definitely more sparsely populated with wild life than originally shown I think that's something that could and if could, should, be patched.

 

[Saskatoon]

I personally had my expectations in check with this game. I posted something on an IGN or Kotaku or Polygon article on the game the other day about how the potential for this game is huge as long as they continue to patch and build on the foundation they've laid out.

Someone responded that this game should have been as it is now, but with Call of Duty FPS combat and Mass Effect story.

That is why so many people are so venomous towards this game. They had totally unrealistic expectations as to what this game is.

Totally agree...don't understand how people expected 10 people to create two AAA titles in one (plus all the work they did with procedural generation).

I am having a blast with the game though. Not sure how common it is but I have already found 3 systems discovered by other people and I'm not too deep into the galaxy yet. I am having a hard time jumping over systems but my inventory is getting full of Warp cells so I should probably jump really deep then build up again.

Just found the Sac Venom motherload on a planet I decided to land on. They are literally everywhere and are selling for 26k a pop. Only thing that sucks is I only have space for a few of them so I keep having to trade them in every time I collect 5 or so. Plus the sentinels attact every time. But yeah, I'll be making a boatload of units on this planet.

 

[Teezax]

Haven't encountered anything that was already discovered yet. Been to 3 different star systems thus far. Also, a tip, not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread but the sigma,theta etc. plans stack, and have more benefits if placed adjacent to each other in the inventory. FYI

 

[weastern bias]

I found a planet that has huge boulders made of gold all over the place

I mined them for a couple hours straight and was able to get a new ship and still have a million units left over

 

[Emperoreddy]

They could but Sean was honest that most of the worlds wouldn't be garden worlds and finding big things would be rare.

#GOAT post my friend. Just lock the thread now. It's down hill from here.

I found a planet the other day inhabited by T-Rexes with antlers, and flippers for tails.

LOL

I'm enjoying the game, but this legit made me laugh out loud.

 

[Clode]

Has been crashing a lot for me the last few times i've played

Crashed 3 times in an hour for me last night

 

[Natey]

Runs fantastic on the 1060

Ran into some flying fish today.

^ Nice!

But yeah, I'll be making a boatload of units on this planet.

What I do is bold but simple. I pick up three and then bolt until their attacks stop hitting me. Then I keep farming sacs and they still have their attention on me, but they chase me too slowly and are too far to hit me. So I farm every single one I see and then keep moving to keep the Sentinels away

I have about 70 slots now and about 50 of them are free so I make a killing on venom sac planets, but I moved on from my last system. It was getting a little repetitive and I wanted to see new things. I left the system with about 13 million units. If I keep saving I can either eventually buy a 40-50 inventory ship or just find one crashed. Either way, I'm getting close to the point where I'll have so much inventory that I can freely explore the game almost at will with only the occasional mining breaks. And from there be able to attack random ships for their cargo.

I prefer farming albumen pearls since they spawn in cave networks. I just find a cave entrance, check to make sure it doesn't end after 10ft then just start running through it picking up pearls since Sentinels rarely enter caves.
