What are your thoughts of this awesome upcoming game?
-
It's a wait and see for me sadly. It looks interesting as a concept, but from what I've seen the procedurally generated worlds look a bit plain. There doesn't seem to be much drive behind your objective or much to actually do then collect resources world to world.
-
It seems like a fun concept. The game map will be huge and the largest of any other. I just think the graphics don't look as great as they should and there seems to be no storyline whatsoever.
-
I think I'll enjoy it. It's definitely not the kind of game that everyone will be into, in spite of the high awareness and hype surrounding it. I think the kind of people who will enjoy it the most will be people who are motivated to engage in 'extracurricular' activities surrounding it. Streaming, blogging, taking part in forum discussions, taking screenshots of interesting creatures and locations and sharing them. I'm hoping that the creatures will have interesting behaviors and there will be some sort of emergent behaviors that result from different animal species interacting with each other.
I expect that it's almost like a sim game and a lot of the enjoyment of it will be coming from how each player imagines their own role in the universe. People who are expecting a very curated and guided experience with a standard plot will feel that it's aimless.

I predict that it will be another Pokémon Snap clone.

Have you ever played a PS3 game called Afrika? It was a game about taking pictures of animals and putting them in an atlas/journal. Just like Pokémon Snap.
-
I played Afrika and it did not involve shooting spaceships. It was more of a nature game. I have never played Pokemon Snap, but I imagine it was also not as violent as No Man's Sky will be. Of course, I could be wrong since I have yet to play Pokemon Snap or No Man's Sky.
-
Afrika is not violent unless you piss off the animals by getting too close to them. Pokémon Snap is a rail shooter.

a rail "shooter"..nice

Looks dope. Though endless survival games arent my thing. Most I had fun with was terraria

Isn't Terraria just a knock off of Minecraft and Super Mario Bros.?

I'd say more minecraft and... castlevania and maybe a bit of wonderboy? The equipments in the game are really unique.
-
So now that leaked copies and stuff have come out. How do you feel about the fact that the AI is stupid and that most planets do have some sort of minor life on it?
Also seems that the developer went back on their word and allowed people to travel to the center of their galaxy within 10 hours of gameplay.

Do not want.

Nice spoilers bro.
You can finish Morrowind in less than an hour. Should you though?

I finished Batman: Arkham City in less than two hours. With Batman: Arkham Asylum, it took me months.
I think if No Man's Sky has a quintillion planets, then it would take more than a lifetime. I just wonder if the same type of similar animals will be generated on each planet or if they will all be unique. I will definitely play this game.
-
After seeing this in action and what the devs are going to provide in content, I'm actually quite interested now. Seems like the sort of game I'll just jump into every now and then.

I fired it up last night on PC. I did have a couple of crashes early on, but after a short while it seemed to be running fine. My first impression is that it's a really satisfying experience. In a lot of ways it's the fulfillment of a dream of space games that I've had since I was a little kid. Just the ability to be on a planet, then take off, orbit the planet, fly to another planet through space, and then land anywhere you want to and explore. In that sense it's what I thought Destiny was going to be like when I first heard it described. Unfortunately, space travel in Destiny ended up simply being a menu/loading screen. This is the real deal and it's just immensely fun and gratifying in that sense. The crafting aspect is a bit more prominent than I was expecting, and although I'm not usually into that kind of thing, I was able to pick up how to do it quickly.
I'm not sure if everyone's starting planet is like this, but on mine there's a radiation factor that is continually causing my shields to be damaged, so that has added some urgency to my actions and I can't just stand around for hours marveling at every single plant and animal. When I scan something off in the distance, I have to think about how long it will take to get there and back and if I'll be able to do it in the time that I have before I need to repair my shields and life support devices. It's not hugely stressful, but it is something that needs to be accounted for. Even with scanning, there's a good amount of exploration and looking around that needs to be done, so the flow of the game is something that you have to be patient about. Clambering through the landscape and carefully looking around reminds me of Fallout 3 in a good way, without the option to fast travel, so it's got a heightened emphasis on survival.
Basically I just got to the point where I repaired my ship and took off, and then orbited the planet for a while looking at it. I am excited about the game and I anticipate that my playing style will be taking it slow, probably only playing for a couple of nights each week. I think the game allows for that more laid-back approach, but I could also see people playing it for many hours each night and being way into that.
By the way, I'm avoiding spoilers so if anyone wants to talk about some important secrets or whatnot, please use the spoiler tag.

So it is worth buying then?

I feel like it's worth it to me. The game itself is so vast that I think if you are on the fence, you can certainly wait for a sale and you will still probably have a completely unique experience of finding worlds that no one else has found.
