There's so much potential with a few updates that could make the game amazing imo. Give it a traditional fps controls, add a lot more aggressive creatures, aliens, pirates

agreed

if you were exploring newly discovered planets in reality, it would at the same time be both wondrous and fucking terrifying. if I swim on a new planet I should have to worry about giant aggressive sea creatures inhabiting it and eating me for lunch

adding a greater fear element would make it much more interesting. from what I've read, pirates are the only real threat currently

Fallout 4 also needs that fear factor from the sea. Maybe game designers just don't know how to program for that?

I wouldn't compare it to destiny, closest thing it has to it is the inventory system and how you navigate it.. slowly.

It also has many other hallmark features of Destiny such as the ability to shoot guns and planets.

I watched a LP and the menu reminded me of Destiny (The boxes and colors just seemed familiar), but thats literally where it ended for me lol, thought of it more like Minecraft in space... all it needs to do now is give me the option of setting up a Base on a planet I can call home, and actually add Multiplayer like they goddamn advertised for the remote chance I could see someone... and I'd love it.

Frankly a game like this is 800x better if you could play with friends, not having that option hurts it for me but I'll probably still get it.

Total Biscuit was having significant lags and hitching problems with his PC stream just now. CohhCarnage is playing on Twitch and his stream is going fine. Seems hit and miss?

[Karbuncle]

Guess I should just get this on PS4...

[Krandor]

Assuming they fix the performance problems, PC would 100% be the way to go solely for being able to adjust FoV

[Salodin]

I say it's like Destiny because you get the freedom to roam at your leisure, with a vehicle, where the biggest reason to do so is to grind away and upgrade your loot. At least Destiny had a "story" though; I'm not even sure if this game's protagonist is even human.

Game runs fine for me on an i5 with R9 380 and 8GB of RAM. Total Biscuit is an insufferable human being, you couldn't pay me to watch his stream. Game does have some performance problems when flying above ground, it's nearly impossible for me to kill a simple sentinel ship because of lag/input delay (wrestling over the auto-pilot that wants to exit atmosphere is also annoying). Even still, it was fun to attempt to dogfight around this crazy canyon-filled planet, then bust out the atmosphere and proceed to enjoy some space combat.

My first 4-5 hours of the game have been great. I do wish that the planets were more barren than I have seen so far on my first 4 planets and a moon. The creature variety is okay with me too, but with each planet containing 5-10 creatures, I know that it will start to be less interesting as time goes on. I can see myself getting a ton of reply value out of this just for the sake of discovering crazy animal mutations and landscapes.

Animals have been aggressive towards me ever since I left my starter planet, but I don't feel like I would ever die to those unless I'm getting tag-teamed by multiple sentinels. Does damage scale with the size of the animal? I was going to test out this large fish-tail-rex with long flappy arms, but I didn't want to lose all my stuff.

One thing I am super confused about in general is we're heading towards the center of our GALAXY, but the Sean always said the point of the game was to go to the center of the UNIVERSE and that they put something interesting at the center of the universe. People are getting to the center of their galaxies and its just a new game plus basically and the way it seems there is no real sense of direction to guide you towards the center of the universe or give you a general sense of distance from it… Personally when I originally saw all the interviews I got super excited thinking this would be a game I'd play over he next 20 years or something and get to the center of the universe but like I said theres nothing telling me where that is…or what kind of progress I am making so its not what he promised I think.

This is besides the glitchy mess that is both PS4 and PC. I don't really think they thought about player enjoyment either because the inventory system is just … Maybe it will come later but they wanted to create and experience almost like being in a sci-fi novel I don't see why we can't make our own guns/ships or even upgrade what we start with if we invest in them enough.

Also did everyone start in the Euclid galaxy? if this is so how did they honestly expect people not to run into each other the first day. Seeing a few streams i keep seeing they are in the same galaxy i started in..

[TheDirtyHobo]

Acquired a copy, nearly vomited about 20 seconds in between the stuttering, the low framerate, and the stretched image quality from not starting at the right resolution. Chased a few Nidorinos around my starting planet (which had floating islands? didn't realize those were a thing). Ran around collecting shit for half an hour, alt tabbed out to respond to a skype message, and the game crashed.

The hooks seem like they're solid enough, but I'm going to wait a few months until $30 or less to buy it. That should give them some time to fix the PC version, too, hopefully.

I think you greatly underestimate how large a galaxy is...

Even then though, by now you'd see someone report running across someone else since yeah it's pretty large, but damn near everyone I know/seen/watched stream is always starting there, so if there truly was any kind of multiplayer, we'd have some hints of it beyond that one reddit post I think..or kotaku...either/or.

[Tyrath]

Posted this earlier, there was a reddit thread on launch day about how 2 people were standing on top of one another in location but couldn't see each other. Don't know if theres been any updates to that.

FPS Stutter Fix that's going around:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTh...dible_fps_fix/

Worked for a friend, try it out and see how much mileage you get out of it.

[Krandor]

Idk why people are over analyzing the multiplayer thing at this point. HG lied, move on with life.

[Boyiee]

The sticker covering up the multiplayer on the box is my favorite part.

[SamanosukeShiva]

I let the sentinel alert got to lv5 and they sent a giant gundam/pacific rim looking robot after me lol
