I've been wanting to buy No Man's Sky but the build-up for it was a bit sketchy and it might not live up to its hype.

I still want to believe because it looks like minecraft...but with SPACESHIIIIIPS!

it should have been telling that, when the devs started their livestream the other day, they kept getting distracted and just farming asteroids

they then admitted they routinely get in trouble in the office for only shooting asteroids all day

i suspect its because thats the most interesting thing to do in the game

So far what I'm getting from reading No Man's Sky's FAQs and watching the trailers is that the player character is not a sexy female cyborg with a phat rear end and high heels. Also, it's not possible to interact with other players even though that's something players in Minecraft have been able to do for nearly a decade?
I think I'll pass.

Actually the dev was upfront and honest but that didn't stop everybody from convincing themselves this game was going to be something completely different and awesome.

I think the whole point of this game would be for it to have multiplayer and the fact that it lacks that is a huge letdown.

the only interesting thing you can do in this game is discover new planets and animals and name them all "clown fart" idk why you would spend $60 on this

Also, no base building? That's the only thing that makes Minecraft even slightly worthwhile. Without that it seems like the whole game is just combat/exploration oriented Minecraft.

They should have called this game "No tits, no base building, no multiplayer man's sky."

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.

Wow, this looks like a really badly designed game. You shouldn't buy it at release or preorder it.

You could shoot at each other and form trade leagues and stuff and get into gang rumbles like Eve online.

Normally I hate multiplayer but in sandbox/crafting games, having other people see what you've built is a huge motivator.

I used to enjoy Minecraft a lot but after like the tenth time I built a totally boss fortress and filled it with treasures, I realized it was all pointless without someone to share it with.

base building doesn't really fit with the game because you never really revisit systems, and black holes are one way so in a lot of cases you can't visit a previous system even if you wanted to. could use some titties though.

You don't revisit systems because you don't have a cool base there to come back to. In its present state NMS is just a space hobo simulator.

In its ideal form, NMS would be something more akin to a 3D Starbound where players share a persistent universe and there are awesome space battles (something Starbound sorely lacks)

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.
