Except that Metroid controls are good. Most of the problems present in combat could be solved by removing the slow backwards walk. I'm astounded that anyone played with that for any length of time and declared it a good feature.

May I introduce you to the average Starbound player.

Been over a year since I tried out Starbound. Looks like they got rid of all the pickaxes and just went with the Matter Manipulator as your default tool for all occasions, huh? I can't complain, keeping track of a billion picks was annoying.

Hahaha no.

It's really open-ended and beyond a certain point you just kinda contentedly wander the galaxy exploring and making weird food and collecting interesting things. It's relaxing and a good way to unwind.

How do you say this with a straight face.

Surely this will make this game good, I can feel it.

The breaking teleporter thing is pretty loving stupid, but I can see where magma is coming from. If you just put down your teleporters and then leave them when they are - a trivial task to accomplish - then you'll never even notice there's a problem.

It's like they gave you guys a button that, if pressed, will make a robot kick you in the dick. You could just not press the loving button and stick it in a cabinet somewhere out of sight, but instead all you guys are getting worked up about how much it's gonna suck when you inevitably can't hold back and press the button, knowing full well what will happen when you do, because getting worked up and being reactionary internet shitposters is the entire reason you are in this thread to being with.

Yes, it's pointless and lovely to create a feature that only harms you, and they never should have made it, but getting worked up about how life should be is retarded. Sometimes you just gotta accept that things will be flawed, so if a flaw is an easily avoidable one, then just don't engage with it, and you'll be a much happier person.

(dear magmarashi: that's why they can't let it go, they don't want to. they're trying as hard as they can to be as upset as possible, for mad comedy yo. admittedly, it ain't hard)

I missed you.

I just saw the new update. Is Starbound worth playing yet, and do they still have the stupid bosses as gateways on the tech tree?

Keep asking yourself these questions and soon you will find your answer.

Cool running joke but hey do you think it's possible to like one thing without having to poo poo on another thing at the same time or is appreciation a zero-sum commodity and Terraria can only be good if you compare it to Starbound which you hate?

I find it funny personally.
