I honestly cannot fathom how would you could possibly think that no man's sky is a better game by far.
No Man Sky's is a good engine / tech demo to build a game on, but it's barely a game.
Ground combat suck, space combat sucks, the story is just random notes tucked away with zero interesting characters or character development.
It's basically just grinding it out to fly around and scan a bunch of plants that look identical but have a slightly different name.
I thought this way back when i first played it. But I've been spending the lasts days playing and it got so much better.
The environments are no longer the same everywhere, sure you will find matching planets but they don't all look like asteroids with hair anymore. Minerals dont stick out of the ground anymore. And underground caves exists.
The multiplayer aspect got better too (or so i hear, didn't get to try it yet).
The stories are more engaging with specific npc's interacting with you.
Never thought space combat sucked? It's not to the level of Elite Dangerous, but it's somewhat entertaining, and accomplishes what need to be done imo.
It's an MMORPG so of course you have grinding, and for my current playthrough it isn't boring yet. I've got a minecraft vibe, where you upgrade gear and ammass items for future uses.
love that you can get pets now and use them for more than simply have around, I got some kind of panther yesterday, was able to mount some guns to it and now it helps me in combat (kinda tedious to use idk if i fully figured it out yet, but sometimes the companion won't attack).
All that and i only started playing, there's the whole frigate thing, and also settlements to protect. I'm told you can have some kind of fleet to send on missions, and i'm certain there's other huge content i'm missing that i dont know of yet.
Did they fix the hitboxes? The robot dogs and flytraps meleeing me from 5 meters away was really annoying when I played the game
Seems so, i haven't encountered this issue (and i got attacked a decent amount)
