No Man's Sky

Yeah, definitely not an AAA game. But for a modern game it does feel extremely small. Procedural generation will do that.

Hopefully they continue to add content. I got the game after watching streams for a bit, will start playing Friday night and binge it a bit. I played the heck out of minecraft, hope this is as robust a few years down the road. It can be fleshed out more I agree.

I tested this out some more since you got me curious, and I haven't been attacked one time since I moved all of my valuables from ship to suit inventory.

That'd be great if the relative value of your cargo is mathed up vs. the relative power of your weapons/defenses before it hits a threshold that pirates are excited about. I mean simple in terms of how we think, but to just be a generic auto-sort deal as an interesting sublayer to the gameplay in that area. Would probably include factors like faction standings, nearness to the "center" etc.

Can't wait to not be at work to give it a go.

How are the OCD/Ultra-completionists handling this game? I feel like NMS would cause them to have a nervous breakdown followed by an aneurysm.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying this. It's simultaneously relaxing and exciting. But I can completely understand why your typical Call of Duty slackjaw would think this is the worst game ever created; there's minimal hand-holding, clear direction or visceral action.

The idea of putting my mark on a tiny corner of an almost limitless galaxy is very satisfying. I know some people don't give a shit about naming things, but I'm enthralled with finding planets, flora and fauna that nobody else has seen before and giving them weirdly appropriate names. Hopefully someday they'll integrate a notification system that lets you know if another player stumbles across your claimed discoveries.

I have given up trying to 100% scan any planet with flying animals. Honestly, fuck them. Half of my milestones are completed and I have the final "Galileo" milestone rank but only 3 planets fully scanned. The funny part is that none of the 3 had any animals and were 100% by default.

Knowing that you can't do it all is comforting in the sense that I don't feel compelled to finish a planet if it's 90% garbage (hostile environment, angry animals, evil robots). However if it's resource heavy I will grab some expensive shit and then peace out to the next one.

Not every planet is a fun one to explore and if you don't like it, you can just say "Fuck this gay Earth."

No Man’s Sky removes the tyranny of having to see it all

It's a welcome change to not have artificial goals necessarily like exploring 100% of the planet you're on, etc. I'm definitely somebody who is an achievement whore / completionist in games so it's going to be interesting just.. forcing myself to let things go, lol

Just pre-ordered this based on Hodj hype. Your reputation is on the line.

DRM free from GOG and you guys still going to pay AAA price for an indie game?

Just picked this up? Anything I need to know before I start?

Dont use the bonus ship (if you got it) before you done the missions to repair the original one on the first planet. Can screw up/delay shit.

Already saw stuff about that. Just bought the generic digital copy. Though the game keeps crashing at the beginning as its flying through the stars.
