I'm still weirdly looking forward to seeing how 1.0 pans out. Some of the dumber things I didn't like sound like they are going away, like single-biome planets and the weird tier system. I should probably get checked for a concussion.

I think this is what grimcreaper's talking about, even though it's anal vore and not cockvore as he claimed

Anyway, uh, Starbound. Starbound taught me that it is entirely possible to have played a game for hours and hours and still not like it. Those few hours of play time every update, checking to see if the game is good yet, really add up. The next time I see a negative review with 100+ hours played, I'll try to remember this

I just really love the concept, and the story is a cool mystery thing. Managing a ship, exploring with a crew. The combat is super atrocious. I guess I spoke too freely, it's not a good game, but I liked it, and I could forgive the weak systems for the things that were excellent about it.

it's basically what the space parts of Starbound should be. It feels like someone just forked from what they were doing for Starbound. I don't know if that's the case, but the ships, ship upgrades, space combat, and story all feels cohesive, and then planetside felt unfinished, like that was actually supposed to be starbound.

I agree with you and at least Interstellaria is a finished game as well, unlike Starbound. It just wasn't my cup of tea and that's fine.

In actual game news I've been keeping my eye on the nightlies and they sure picked a weird time to actual start making weapons unique and fun-looking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkBlIMgnhWM

Like take a look at this. Some of the swords animate! They have unique effects other than "this one does extra lightning damage, this one can shoot a wave"! This dude's other recent videos show off some cool stuff like a crossbow with multiple ammo types you can switch on the fly, guns that shoot a bunch of tentacles out, etc.

Yeah this update was more about giving people tools for making adventure maps.

I did take the opportunity to start up again and I beat the final boss this time, then he dropped a dolphin so I used that to beat him on expert mode and get a fancy eyeball that lights up my surroundings. :toot:

No one's cherry picking anything, someone posted another game's update going "this update's good! this is how it should be done!" but it's actually a pretty uninteresting update. It's not like we're going down the list of hotfixes on the Terraria Wiki to find one that's unimpressive, it's literally the one that just got brought up.

It's actually a really interesting update if you're into custom maps or building elaborate machines. What was once a gigantic area of carefully crafted bug abuse is now a stack of 3 (or more if you like polyadic logic) blocks.

Can you do stuff like spawn bosses for boss fights and lock areas off until they're dead? That's like the one thing stopping me from making a terraria adventure map, all the shenanigans you have to go through to try to control the player's experience in a really hard to control sandbox.

You can more easily automate blocking off exits but I think you still have to resort to asking them not to dig.

A boring Terraria update is better than every Starbound update though.

Yeah, you think it's gonna be kinda like Terraria where it takes a bit of a time investment before you've mined enough iron, built some houses, or whatever and get to start doing cool stuff. But then you notice that you've spent 3 times as long on that stage as you would have in Terraria and start to realize that this is the entire game.

Terraria was really good at rewarding your grinding with cool new equipment/enemies/biomes. I guess Starbound technically does this but there's barely any difference between one stage of content and the next. The gameplay is also kind of slow and floaty and all around a bit of a drag, and it's gotten worse as the game has gotten "closer to release".
