Hardcore Gamer: Even though No Man’s Sky is out in the wild, the biggest question surrounding Hello Games’ ambitious survival title is still alive and well. Everyone and their mother seems to be wondering whether or not No Man’s Sky has the legs to be the type of game that players put hundreds and hundreds of hours into. At the end of the day, this is going to come down to the amount of planetary variance in this procedural universe.
Hello Everyone!
Today, we are very excited to introduce the Aquarius Update!
This latest expansion to No Man’s Sky is free to download for existing players, and introduces something that felt like the perfect complement to the new water introduced in WORLDS PART I – fishing!
If you've been on the fence over which space sim to pick, here's why No Man's Sky's Expedition 14 is a better choice than Starfield.
Lifeless planets, repetitive dialogue, and constant inventory organization are just a few things No Man's Sky players wish were better.
the opposite: too much life as far as i'm concernd. similar to real space, finding lifeforms should be absolute rarity. if let's say they made life-hubs and the rest is empty 99% of the time, i wouldn't mind.
I started this again but then after 5 ish hours I realized it’s the same game still. That’s on me, I recognize it’s good but not my cup of tea. Awesome to see the devs supporting it and I’ll check out their next game for sure because there’s something here!
The problem I have is the environments arent interesting and varied enough to carry it when exploration and discovery are supposed to be the selling points. The game is a million miles wide and an inch deep. And frankly, the game needs more planetary combat besides sentinels and hostile wildlife. I'm not saying it needs to be Destiny, but there needs to be a middle ground between this game and that game.
Only the dumb people are complaining about a game that simulates reality. Please take up another genre of gaming where you're more equipped to speak on and enjoy. Most people don't deserve opinions. Why not play the inferior Starfield?
I'm really hoping there next game has missions and things to do and considering it's on one planet then perhaps it will.
That's one of my biggest gripes with the game. Been to 20+ planets and the terrain has mostly just changed color but nothing much more or exciting.
Oh man, the number of dislikes here will be awesome, but there, I'll say it: This game is a big letdown for me. Don't get me wrong, I know the game is about exploring at all, but after visiting a lot of planets, I ended up by feeling that I was just in some creature model generator with random background. It sounds obvious, I know, but I was expecting a bit more of interactivity. I mean, carnivorous, herbivorous, insects, they're all the same. And you just feed'em or kill'em. In the lucky moment you find more than one species in the same planet, they dont interact at all.
I'm not a game developer, but come on. Spore, a really old game at least had predators, chain foods. I think the size of this game is also it's biggest enemy. Personally, I'd prefer it to be the size of a solar system like ours: 8-9 planets. Explore it all, generate a new one. Everyone of a really big size, with various lifeforms, and proper behavior for every animal, more than appearance and movement. A winged tiger? Let it chase, I don't know, snakecows. Let it food their children. Also, the planets on NMS... yeah, there are some variants, but after a long time they feel like color swaps. Maybe add some climate changes, storms, sand storms, clouds... also, in NMS the planet itself doesn't affect life. It affects your status, but then you find a planet with 100x gravity... populated by deer leg creatures. It just doesn't make sense.
It was ok and... exciting at first, but after a while it has become more of a showcase of weird animals with random background, that just doesn't feel alive at all.
Sorry about the bad english.
