Meh...I'm sure it's still NMS. Feels so empty and boring anytime I've trying to replay after getting screwed over with buying this game after I was lied too.
Won't be trying this new sticker or whatever new thing they are working on. No thanks.
I kind of feel you on this. I can build amazing things, find cool ships, kit out my freighter, and all that lovely stuff but theres no point to it. Theres no evil empire to fight, no galaxy to save, no dungeons to raid. Its a great sandbox, but not a lot of reason to be in it after a while.
It's basically space Minecraft. Not all people like that kind of game.
Significantly less fulfilling than Minecraft, as you have limitations on build area and terraforming simply resets after a number of days.
Yeah, I'm glad they put the work in and I've gotten a lot of hours, but...certain things about the game seem broken by design. I just don't feel like buying a more expensive ship is letting me do things that I couldn't do without it. So personally I'm looking forward to their next game, and seeing what they do with all the lessons they've learned here. But I'm probably done with NMS.
What would be really cool would be if they made a companion game that took the work you do in NMS and ported that character into a combat game.
Yes I also cling to the past and never update my views or thinking on things.
Try reading while you do that....
Sort of goes against the whole point!
Like if you'd read the news and updates about NMS you'd see they fixed most of the complaints and made a great game, and all for free.
The fuck are you smoking...
I don't give rats ass what the 'news' says about this game, or any game. That's the damn reason this game was sold on lies in the first place. Bullshit news. I make my own opinion based on actually doing the thing. I replayed (the words you still didn't read) and made the opinion that it's still a boring crappy game that makes me want my money back still.
The point is, the game is boring and has nothing to do. Why bother getting bigger ships. There's literally no point. Gameplay is not fun in any way and I will not force myself to get enjoyment out because that clearly defeats the point of enjoyment.
The only good thing this game and Sean 'give me my money back' Murray did, was make me not trust any developer until I get their full game for free and test it on my own time and finding out where the company is full of shit and lying to its userbase.
Ah, so it has nothing to do with NMS then, it's just you don't like the sandbox genre. That's fair.
The developer has pretty much delivered on what they promised at this stage.
You're basically saying you bought an RPG and you don't like that it has a levelling system. Bit different.
A mile wide, but inches deep.
Inch, singular I would argue. I don't think there's any gameplay mechanic here that can't be mastered in 2 minutes (artificial grind notwithstanding).
