The update's fine, but it went from a 4/10 to 6/10. It sure as hell isn't worth $60 or even $30 yet. I'd guess that it won't be "good game" material until the fifth content update at least.

>>387090730
Only at the current state do I think it MIGHT be worth checking out, for $20 MAX. Then I remember that dirty lying cunt Sean Murray and no I will never give him money.

Pirate it, try to get to the main storyline, and if you're still bored even with the new campaign, delete it. The core is still hard to have fun with.

I'm suprised they didn't fire Sean. Seems like it was mostly his fault that they ended up talking it up so much. Should've used a public speaker with actual self control.

wait, I thought it was just fleshing out the original "campaign"
is there like 2 endings now or something?

It's still a boring grindfest.

>>387097387
It never had a campaign. You just visited Atlas stations, and if you kept enough Atlas stones or whatever they were you got a different text box than if you didn't have them.

Now it's added missions and story stuff.

>>387097561
Wasn't there some sort of center of the universe even in the original?

>>387090604
Based and white

Can I own large ships and walk around in them and fiddle with the systems? This is literally all I care about.

>>387097690
Yes, but there's nothing there. The center is the same as any other place, and when you got there your "reward" was being teleported to an identical galaxy with a different name. There wasn't a campaign or anything really to give context as to why a player would travel there, other than every player thinking there would be something interesting there. And there wasn't.

>>387097892
Apparently you can outright purchase freighters and just use them as your ship. At least, it was an option when I landed in one but I didn't have enough money

They were banking on the image of 'indie dev' for the game. It was bad enough that they were pushing it out with a price similar to AAA games with way more content, I guess they didn't want to damage that image even more by giving it a full AAA marketing stunt.

What didn't you like about the game at first? If the core gameplay of mining to get resources to get upgrades to get more resources to get more upgrades turned you off, then there's no difference now. If you were turned off by not being able to build a base, see multiplayer orbs, have freighters and not enough alien races, then maybe you'll have fun now.

You need to let go, anon.

>>387117017
>What didn't you like about the game at first?
I didn't really dislike anything about it. I just had the suspicion that there would be no sense of progression as I played. Like resources just built up to more resources that did literally nothing to impact the world around me.

Is space combat at least good? Can I be a pirate or protect caravans, something interesting? Or is this literally a somehow more bare bones Elite Dangerous?

>>387117337
There's certainly missions, and yes you can be a space-asshole but be prepared to have sentinels chase your ass.
I haven't gotten around to Elite Dangerous because of the stupid always online thing. Did they fuck it up?

>>387117337
>literally a somehow more bare bones Elite Dangerous?
That's exactly what it is. They've added a main storyline and faction missions now but it's all still barebones and only serves to get you to the centre as usual. Nothing's different, there's just more things added on if you want a distraction.

>restart required for changing ANY graphical setting
What the fuck is this? The 90s?

>>387117478
>Did they fuck it up?
No, there just isn't much to do if you don't like exploring the majority of the time. When you are playing it's in short bursts, but typically you're going to be on auto-pilot with your screen lowered browsing the net or something until you arrive at your destination or get pulled out of super drive. Good for passing the time, but doesn't offer much excitement.

>>387117581
I'd say it's more akin to X-lite with the recent patches. You can even have your own freighter which serves as a mobile base.

>game released a year ago

>>387106368
try making a netcode for a 18 quintillion planets, its still in early stages, they're probably going to expand the multiplayer in the future, adding character models, more interaction who knows.

>>387118238
Why do faggots want this to be an MMO so bad? There's plenty of other space sims that do that and do it much better because they were designed around it. NMS was designed around single player. Even footman himself said that, albiet after lying about multi.

>>387106249
star citizen is not even a game yet.

I think it'll be worth buying when it's on sale for <10 shekels. Nah fuck that I'm pirating it but free is even too much.

>>387098396
fuck I played the foundation update with the freaighters and base building, i did farming for about 3 hours and got a max ship, gun and suit and a freighter with 15mil left.
Playing it now, the farming has been nerfed, there are these massive full space star destroyer freighters but they cost 150-200mil
I should have stuck with the game and farmed infinite money. As it is not there is a lot of work to get rich and they have added new classes of ships making my ship obsolete.
I need 500mil+ to max everything out.

How does this game run like ass at 4k while looking like this? I've played much better looking games at better performance at 4k.

>>387118541

>>387117017
>mining to get resources to get upgrades to get more resources to get more upgrades
game changes once you are fully upgraded. It's pure exploration and trading. Base building if you like too.
This new story mode is a change of flow, though i have gone to only 3 different systems following the story, 1 being through a stargate, where in the sandbox I would travel back and forth many systems

>>387119081
>It's pure exploration and trading
And what's the end goal of this? That's like saying GTA games become pure exploration when you finish all the main missions and side content. You're essentially just roaming around a free roam environment. Discovering new planets don't lead anywhere, it's merely for the sake of it. That's fine on its own but you should make it clear that there isn't an end goal.

>>387119224
You literally described every space sim. There's still a storyline and ending, but exploration and trading make up most of the meat.

>>387118767
The game is only 4000mb so the asset quality isn't much but there's tons of simulation going on so it bogs the performance gone.

>>387118767
Do you have 1.31?

>>387119224
>ike saying GTA games become pure exploration when you finish all the main missions and side content
well It does. I used to just play GTA, drive around go on crime sprees, make my own fun.
If you need a quest marker and objective to have fun in a game you shouldn't really be playing vidya.

I like NMS, I liked it since day 1, even though it was basically early access and had many faults.
It doesn't hold your hand at all, you are free to do whatever you want from the get go with a universe sized.
Essentially though the game is an exploration game.

>>387119674
Like I said, the problem isn't the game turning into a purely free roaming exploration game, it's that that fact isn't made clear to people asking about the game. When you've reached the end of your upgrades, you lose the point of gathering resources and money. While GTA has a lot of NPCs to interact with and handcrafted locales to explore, NMS doesn't. You'll be doing the same things you've been doing all game only without the resource gathering portion of it. And like I said, that's fine, just communicate it better when you say it. There's no need to deflect, I already said that it's fine to not have an end goal. And unfortunately, you're not free to do anything you want. You're free to explore whatever you want. You're unable to build space stations and toy around with the in-game economy, you're unable to be embroiled in a faction and play around with it, you're unable to build a Death Star and become a space menace that everyone goes after, etc. You're free to explore whichever planet in whichever direction you want, get there and either gather resources or explore it to find more resources, alien sites in order to learn new words or shelters/freighters in order to find more resources, money or new blueprints (which you won't find when you've reached the max upgrades). If you find that fun, then the game is for you. If not, look elsewhere. The game isn't a case of 'do anything' despite what enthusiastic fans are saying. It's an 'explore anything' game.

>>387120145
It happens regardless. Doesn't matter whether I cap it at 60, 30, 90 or whatever. The screen tearing happens all the time both in borderless and fullscreen.

Fucking how does this game possibly have fanbois white knighting it? Do people just feel more special for declaring their love for things that are especially shitty?

>>387120349

I bought the game as a omfy space exploration game and that is what I got.
You don't actually need to mine for resources after maxing your upgrades as there is nothing to do with them, but if you want to trde, base build, have resources to give for words, then farming is necessary.
You could actually just stay in space, shooting asteroids gives you all the mats you need.

>>387120725
Let amend my previous statement then. You're free to explore any planet you want or forgo that entire mechanic and just stay in space, exploring any portion of space that you want. The key thing to note is that it's all about exploration. Base building can be done but, again, there's no other mechanic built into it. You don't need to fend off attackers or are able to unlock a new portion of gameplay that would otherwise be unavailable. You build a base using the small variety of fabs you have, then you can use it to farm plants which in turn gives you resources. The whole game is merely space engine lite with gameplay mechanics. If that's the game you're looking for, you'll have a fun time with NMS. If you're looking for a 4X game with planet landing, you won't find it here. This is a casual exploration game and I don't mean that offensively. It doesn't have the depth of the X games in any of the mechanics and if you go into it looking for that, you'll be disappointed. If you just want to walk around exploring procedurally generated planets, you'll be satisfied.

You.

Yes, you.

The one screaming, "There's no multiplayer!" and "Sean Murray lied to us!" and other slurs I dare not mention. Tread lightly.

You are one. We are hundreds, thousands. Millions. You aren't just IN the minority; you ARE the minority.

I don't feel awkward or anxious playing No Man's Sky around others, and your words don't affect me. Many others, however, are coming out of their shells for the first time in their lives.

This is the first time many are enjoying the beautiful world that has been procedurally generated for us - and it IS beautiful. Incredibly so. DON'T ruin this for them. We No Man's Sky fans may have our differences, but we will not hesitate to come to the aid of our fellow explorers, especially against someone who so virulently slurs that which has brought us all together.

Don't take this the wrong way. I don't hate you. I don't fear you.

I pity you.

I'm sorry that you feel this way towards us. I'm sorry that No Man's Sky is such a bane to your existence. And I'm sorry that you are missing out on such a wonderful experience. Mostly, though, I'm sorry that you feel the need to go around and publicly chastise and berate others. I'm sorry that, to ensure your own validity, you need to make others feel invalid.

I'm sorry that your self-worth is so infinitesimally miniscule that you have to make others feel less-than-human, at least in your own denatured mind, just to feel whole. I am truly sorry that day-in and day-out you have to put up with your worthless, meaningless, Shakespearean tragedy of a life.

I ask you politely to cease your unnecessary cries for attention, and instead invite you to join our ranks. Uninstall Call of Duty, start up No Man's Sky, and breathe in the splendour and the amazement of your first planet, and then, maybe, just maybe, you'll see what you've been so hopelessly searching for this whole time.

Space sims like (the never gonna come out) star citizen are too much bs for me. I'm not even into sci fi and I prefer to play a multitude of vidya than spend an eternity on 1.

My only real gripe with NMS s that the stars/sun's are skyboxes and each system is a procedural cell. I was under the impression before release that it was an entire procedurally generated universe.
