No Man's Sky

[CMH]

Re: No Man's Sky

This, basically. I got a baseline idea of what to expect from what the devs said pre-release, and just went on media blackout (including this thread) so as not to let others' opinions of what the game should be influence me.

As such, I wasn't disappointed with what I got.

Right.

There was definitely a moment where I looked at a planet and thought, "would be really cool if there was a living, breathing metropolis here."

But there isn't. And I knew that from basically day one when they said there wouldn't be cities.

So if I'm going to pay for this game and get upset there aren't cities in it, that's on me. No one told me there would be so I'm not going to rant about it because I started the game up and confirmed there weren't any cities.

Re: No Man's Sky

I'm not sure, it seems to just keep expanding. the last slot I got cost 230K seems to go up by 10K for every slot.

found slot 37, it opened up another row, so at least can go up to 42. I'm going to try and hold off on getting more and get a new ship. I've never going to get it cause i keep spending my money.

Re: No Man's Sky

But the game is exactly what the devs said it would be.

So I'm definitely not disappointed because I didn't assume things that I wanted. I got exactly what was promised.

It does seem the complaints are from people saying, "I didn't expect this" or "I didn't know what kind of game it was."

That's the gamers fault.

They said it would have cooperation and interaction between players, and after 2 years giving vague explanations about the game, they started talking that you could possibly find another player but it would be improbable.



But ok, the game is what it is, and there's nothing changing it. Those who like it will keep liking it, those who don't like will not play, and in the end, i just hope that people (consumers and devs) start thinking about how bad hype can be.



NMS has a great art style, great soundtrack and i really like its color palette. I can't deny it, and i shouldn't.

Sorry for the rookie question, but how do I upgrade to more slots in my suit?

You may find the link helpful. It gives you tips and a quick snapshot of what the game is all about.

You’ll likely want to upgrade your suit as soon as possible, as things feel pretty cramped right off the bat. The best way to do this is by exploring planets (look for green questions marks) for drop sites and crashed ships, talking to aliens, and buying upgrades from the galactic trade network. If you spot suit upgrades for sale, these are arguably one of the best uses for your currency during the early part of the game. You’ll spend less time micro-managing your inventory, though the price increases every time you buy a slot.

Best thing about this game is it's a nice break from my other games played, where you don't know what you'll see and where your going to next. Knowing how passionate the devs are, I'm sure that we will be seeing new contents down the road.

<i>Haven't experienced any system crashes (knock on wood). Not saying there aren't any either.</i>

My score = 8

Re: No Man's Sky

If you guys didn't see, Gamespot gave it a 7 and it was a very good and in depth review. I personally would give it a solid 8. But I think 7 is a fair score.

Work the next 4 nights so I'll be itching badly to get back into this.
Game is not perfect but really is fun.

Re: No Man's Sky

Here's what 8 hours have gotten me so far, I'm done for the day w/ board game night and some family stuff going on.

Spent the entire day today on one planet w/ mean sentinels, which qualifies as extreme conditions I believe.

Re: No Man's Sky

My score is incomplete because I've just been exploring to be honest. I've been having fun but I know I've only really scratched the surface. If you put a gun to my head and made me give it a score, I'd say 7 or 8 out of 10 right now

On various planets you can find "Drop Pods" which contain suit upgrades. You do have to pay for most of them, and the cost increases with each subsequent suit upgrade, so be sure to have some units on you.

Re: No Man's Sky

This game is what the suspend feature on PS4 was designed for. It's so pick up and play friendly. So nice to be able to turn on and be right were I left off very quickly compared to loading from scratch. Since there's no rush or push as far as missions it let's me hop in for 20 minutes to check out a couple questions markers, or gather some resources, scan some flora/fauna, jump to another planet, etc. And then suspend for an hour or whatever till I get another block of time.

Unlike most games where I feel I've got to spend an hour at least on a quest or level etc.

I found them a lot of times by searching for "Shelter" at the signal scanners you repair with a bypass chip. Once you know what the pods look like you can fly around a planet over its question marks and spot them from the air.

Re: No Man's Sky

This is the reason I tend to avoid OS because I read things like this and it can get in my head and make me think the same way about a game. Right now about 5 or 6 hours in I'm loving it and I very well may end up agreeing with this sentiment...I certainly am more prone to it if I read this a bit.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, no doubt, and I am not saying you shouldn't post it here or anything, I'm just saying that this is actually why I avoid game threads until I form my own opinion.

For example , I've got about 100 hours in Far Cry and I've never yet visited that thread but I'd bet if I do I'd see a lot of reasons to hate the game and may never have kept playing it if I had..

Re: No Man's Sky

Heh, I've killed 70 sentinels on one planet. I don't know why I assumed...

Spoiler

... that there was only one kind of sentinel!

Spoiler

at 3 'stars' they were sending cougar-sized ground sentinel(s) at me with beam weapons!!!

Ran into a planet and saw what I assumed was a scannable rock formation but it wouldn't scan, got closer and

Spoiler

it sent up a big tentacle with a glowing ball at the end. Strange. Got closer thinking it was probably going to attack, but no I got closer and it gave me a promt so I did it and it gave me a graviton orb. Interesting. then I got attacked by one of the panther things and two little drones. Does it every time I take one of those orbs. Worth it though, they are worth about the same as the vortex cubes.

In other news, **** this thing

just a foot and a half across and it flew. Only way I saw it was looking around with the scanner for the red dots unscanned animals have. You literally couldn't see them without the scanner.

Re: No Man's Sky

Yeah I think one of the cool things about this game is you can really play at your own pace and really not feel forced one way or another

I can't decide if I wanna use my money on a better ship or continue upgrading exosuit
