You don't revisit systems because whether you are on the atlas path or heading to the center of the galaxy you're always moving forward. It is a space hobo simulator. Your ship is your home, which I think is really where they should have put some attention; ship building, ship customization, but no, you just wait until you find a better ship you can afford and jump into that like a space hermit crab.

If you started out in a space RV and got to upgrade it then I might actually be interested in this game.

If only there were a game out there where you could play with other people, buy or build your own base/spaceship and have your friends be the crew on that spaceship and also the game is a first person shooter with seamless transitions between spaceflight and planet exploration.

I would pay thousands of dollars for a game like that.

i'd play the hell out of a game like that but i'd still just pay up to $60 one time fee for it

there's no incentive to make a really complex game like that that is really multiple games wrapped into one unified concept though when they could just make a grindy addictive pay-per-month or whatever game instead at a fraction of the cost and risk

The Japanese only play mobile games now. All the devs are just pandering to western audiences.

Restart Steam, it's out.

A bunch of people are making fun of it because the download is only 2.5 gigs. The actual size is 6.7. Still pretty small for a modern game but the size of the download just means that they actually bothered to compress it well.

Lol if you buy NMS on Steam rather than GOG dot com. Actually lol if you buy any game on steam that's available on GOG.

I got a refund and used the money to get 2 large pepperoni pizzas, a 6 pack of decent beer, and an indy game that I'll probably never play.

Most exciting thing in this game is finding a wrecked spaceship with more inventory spaces. Biggest monster I've seen is about a bit smaller than a carno from ark. Also I got free gun because the testicles mouth monster wanted me to buy it's smuggled goods using iron oxide

Hey OP I bought bonmans Sky

I did you a favor by not buying it for you, it loving sucks so bad

I spawned in a planet full of drones with a broken starship and I kept dying until my mining beam stopped firing

Game sucks

By contrast, doom 2016 is amazing and you punch demons in the face, so buy that instead

The only reason I didn't preorder (I have 116 hours on elite dangerous, I don't mind flying around empty space), is that I remember Spore, and saw that this game leaned really, really heavily on procedural generation like Spore did. I may still get this game once it's cheaper, which will be soon by the sound of things.
