Heres the faq The game wont ever be the fantasy you secretly want it to be. Get high, go around and see proc gen planets and animals and plants. Build your base however you want.

GTA is doing what is probably their last big update tomorrow but I’ll give this a few days to let the first impressions come out and probably grab this on Xbox by the weekend unless something horrible has happened as it had me kinda interested in getting a PS4 until everything was terrible as I remembered Elite from when I,was a kid but found the reboot a bit hard to get into, this kind of looked like Elite light.

I beat Subnautica, albeit on Easy because Food and Thirst meters can suck it, and I liked that it had a plot and ultimate goal. This did mean that the world was handcrafted with no RNG so replays would be samey. The real sins of that game was the pop-in, the atrocious land-controls and graphics on the two islands, and the cumbersome inventory management. Also the last act of the story was just two scavenger hunts which is take it or leave it. If NMS gets a price-drop and the NEXT update is well received I'd take it, and I do hope the game is fleshed out enough to merit exploring. Joseph Anderson said two years ago that the only point of farming materials is to upgrade your tools to get better at farming materials, so I'm wary if the game is still a monotone grind. At least there's grass.

/\/\ it is just an empty grind and it wont ever change, but there is creative mode to ignore the grind completely.

It’s been mentioned but I want a way to capture and keep animals. They’re easy to feed and we can build bases; why can’t we also build pens to keep our penis deer and dogcows in? I also want fishing. I want fishing in every drat game I play but especially this one.

Survival to me just seems obnoxious. Increased resource costs across the board, increased hazard intensity, and a more annoying death penalty. I'm sure some people like the challenge and risk but I just want to see the new content and play with friends.

It's still just space exploration and base building, just now with 4 friends and random people along for the ride. It's not going to be EVE Online but there's communities that all go to one part of space thanks in part to a portal system. You can chose to follow the story to head to the center of the universe. Following the story allows you to select from one of four new procgen seeds (Same as before, more extreme, more earth like planets, abandoned.) Just reaching the center advances the seed by one (to the same as before universe.) The end message of the story is nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Now watch out for the whip fern.

It's kinda fun to escape the first planet but then after that it's just a pain in the rear end.

So are they ever going to have barren or actually untouched planets? Because being a 'planet explorer' really gets ruined when every planet has the same outpost with 3-4 NPCs in it.

While we’re talking about barren planets, how about black space for once? All the multicolor space clouds lose their wow factor when there is never a black backdrop to compare them against.

https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Biome_-_Deadquote:Low-atmosphere worlds with an Dead biome are characterized by a complete lack of flora and fauna. They have rocky and dusty surfaces and are comparable to some real life airless terrestrial bodies like Mars or the Moon. Some worlds have an atmosphere while others don't. These worlds tend to have higher amounts of resources compared to other biomes. Bring sufficient Power Gels and Thamium9 when exploring these worlds, as they increase the strain on Life Support.

I've played plenty of Survival on NMS and yeah it's a needless gind on anything crafting (I think it's a flat 3x multiplier on all costs) and you use up all your fuel to launch so landing epsecially early on is a huge loving risk if you land and surprise the planet is a hellhole and there's no fuel nearby. That said, survival at the start is actually a fun challenge as you try to repair your poo poo. Making trips miles away to find enough resources while also avoiding the elements or hostile creature is a really experience. Getting off the planet is this really rewarding thing that takes a few hours (to do it safely) and I appreciate survival for that. Unfortunately the oppressive fuel and crafting cost really limited how much exploring and base building you could get away with unless you sank A TON of time into grinding materials. I still manage to carve out enough of a base to set up a farm to make money, it just took a lot more time.

I've been enjoying survival, because the increased hazards make exploring some planets more risky, but I wish there was a way to toggle which survival options you want. The fact that taking off uses up all of the fuel in your launch thrusters seriously discourages exploration, which seems counter-intuitive for this game, but if you make sure to recharge the thrusters as soon as you take off you won't be stuck anywhere. I also will sometimes carve up gold deposits for cash, so money isn't really much of an issue for me, and I use the cash to buy plutonium from space stations instead of farming it myself(though I do collect it where I see it when exploring). Before I had all of this figured out, I got stuck on a planet with frenzied sentinels, and I had very little life support when I had gotten out of my ship, so when I died, I had to run around trying to collect enough thamium to recharge my life support, and enough plutonium to lift off, all while being chased by sentinels. Eventually it got too frustrating and I had to load an earlier save, which I'm glad was an option. If I could play Survival mode without the increased resource costs, or Normal mode with increased planetary hazards, that would be a sweet spot for me.

the planet gen looks way better in that preview, he flies towards a blue and orange planet and that's actually what it is when he lands on it. I also like the fact that the game can now spawn decently sized flora. I'm pretty excited for this update, I always felt that NMS (after all the previous updates) was like 90% of the way there, and this might tip it to being the game I originally wanted when it came out which was essentially just a space exploration game with crazy good procgen.

precision posted:The clouds look almost too good if that makes sense. clouds are absolutely the dopest thing shown from Next so far, which is funny because Sean’s magical cloud tech was one of the first things promised after launch and could reasonably called vaporware (heh) after it failed to appear in a year of subsequent updates. (in fact, clouds were completely broken on PS4 when Atlas Rises launched, and if memory serves it wasn’t until the last patch pre-hibernation that they finally got fixed) the subreddit has already gone through a whole loop of (1) being amazed at the clouds (2) seeing a brief leaked clip and panicking that the clouds in the trailer were faked (3) rationalizing that the leaked copy is running on an OG xbox one without the launch day patch, and also the clouds might be different on this planet (4) begging for and receiving a clip of only the clouds, proving they’re real as hell and not bullshit. so here is a minute of some nice clouds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2gTYZBXnvA
