I finally picked this up after hearing about the game's redemption arc, and I can safely say that this game is just...too much. (2024)

"my review of this game is that I'm too much of a moron to comprehend complex mechanics :("

Yeah I've felt the same. It's just too much

>complexity
It's as deep as a puddle.

NMS is to complexity as Starfield is to innovation
in other words
your opinion is reddit

can i pirate this sh*t? if so, am i missing out on a lot of content if i play it offline? is it always-online dogsh*t?
i asked this in like 2 or 3 NMS threads before and never got an answer

When's the expedition community objective gonna be over.
I'm tired of BIOLOGICAL HORROR DETECTED every two minutes. I just want the flamethrower.

>gather resource to craft something
guys this game is to hard

After dying and losing tons of items, j gave up. I'm not spending 5 hours collecting

I ran out of things to do after a week
>procedural generation
>yet every "unique" encounter is identical to the last and there are only like 5 types of them

No Man's Sky will never be good.

I wanted to play as a space pirate but this game actively punishes you for playing as anything other than a moron space explorer. I don’t give a frick about exploring planets and researching fauna, I want to invade people and plunder their bases/ships.

so, I've done all the major quests and what now?

I feel the exact same man, i bought the game two weeks ago. I expected a chill exploration game but it's literally just minecraft in space. I absolutely cannot be fricked learning all of these recipes.

It's not complex, that's what makes it comfy for me personally. I play it when I am too tired to engage with anything else and just listen to podcasts or something. Every new feature is a variation of the same thing, and you were really meant to be enjoying them as they came out instead of having it all dumped on you at once

I agree you need an iq of alteast 140 to play this game,Like how do i even open the menu? where are the quest markers? like ayo lilbro you really be tinking that i want to read sh*t? u think i want to learn sh*t? hall nah homie i want the game to play it self likke an epic cinamatic movie. developers need to learn that they need to appeal to the wide auidence not the incel auiduince to make good games.

I'm playing both NMS and X4 Foundations right now. I like X4 more because the universe feels lived in, faction wars and events that are relevant to the universe that you can either engage in or observe. NMS may have some good variety but the overworld is quite vacant.

This games gameplay loop is so dull even after the updates.
