Seems like a huge oversight that there are not land vehicles, walking / running is getting miserable.

Not to mention some goofy physics based land vehicle shenanigans would be fun.

sprint then press L1 and X at the same time and then hold X to get around really quickly

It boggles my mind how many people are making a big deal over the "can't see other players" thing. It's like the pre-order cancelled meme came to life and went serious.

Yeah, pretty much what I said on the last page. I'm just so bummed about the amount of hate for such a trivial thing. Especially one that's not definitive. There could have been a number of factors why it didn't work as intended, but jumping to the conclusion that he was lying the whole time and wishing them financial ruin is so completely unnecessary.

Though a big part of me thinks that the people outraged that this doesn't work, are the people who were against this game to begin with, and therefore shouldn't give a shit.
 
I really do like the landscapes in this game. I've only seen screenshots, so I don't know if they get old after a while while playing the game, but I find the aesthetic very pleasing.
 
The game is already amazing! It is what it is and I love what it is :P
BUT can you imagine the potential updates this can have? Is this just the start? I hope so.

I've had 3 warp crashes now.

The worst part is when you load the game after the crash, it used one of your warp fuels.

Ugh.

Thankfully never happened to me. I stopped trying to warp jump after my 30th crash in a row, trying different solar systems. Guess I have to wait for a patch.

Photos of hello games during development show land vehicle concept art. Agreed completely, need land based vehicles.

Yeah, I mean I'm not asking for fast travel points at all, but seeing a waypoint and it telling you it's going to take 9 mins to get there is just not fun at all. I know after you get your ship going you can use it but it's still kinda frustrating and clunky.

I just found a planet that was COVERED in these green Venus fly trap things that I could open, and had a big pearl inside worth 27,500 units. I'm talking like 20-30 of them within 30 seconds of my ship. Sentinels would go to level 3 when I grabbed one so I had to be quick, but filled up all my slots and did about 3 runs back to the space station to sell them.

Also I have a lot of negative criticisms of the game when I'm not playing it, but as soon as I start playing I forget it all and lose myself in it for hours.
Click to expand...

Yep, this is exactly me. I can see everyone elses negatives and can see how the game could be so much better but once I fire it up I lose myself in the cosmos.
 
i'm super into this game. everyone at work has been asking me what it's like and today i'm saying it's like far cry primal in space - but without humans or a story and with a strong focus on crafting and survival on 18 quintillion planets. if you're a completionist who likes to go to every icon on an assassin's creed map, this game will satisfy you infinitely. i spent hours yesterday on one planet - scanning plants and animals and uploading them for credits, going to outposts and collecting resources and upgrades, learning new alien words, exploring and surviving and not caring how far i went from my ship now that i learned how to call it to an outpost. i haven't figured out how to make a warp drive and get beyond my initial group of planets, but i like this type of game where you start off not knowing much, and there is a lot to learn, with tips to read about online and youtubes. i feel like a nerdy scientist explorer which i never imagined would be so cool

What can I say. I've heard people say this several times. The times I've heard them have been when I've been right ontop of a cave system. Might happen inside caves, too. It's just like in Minecraft.
Click to expand...

Yeah but still, the shape of the tunnels don't look natural at all, as logical as your way of thinking is, it's also logical to think that those tunnels were made by some other life form. I choose worms but it could be other aliens or whatever.
The good thing is that it's almost impossible for the game to answer lots of stuff so your own theory can live and be real to you.

I've heard that repeatedly using beacons to discover colonial outposts may eventually yield the blueprint but it's down to rng. Other than that the only choice is to start over. I totally feel you though, I'm in the same boat. Currently scouring a planet for colonial outposts to no luck yet.

You won't find it like that. Best bet is to find a crashed ship and swap for it. Fixed my no hyperdrive issue and got all the quests after.
 
I hate how the sensitivity works in this game. If i look diagonal the view shoots way fast but if i look sideways it takes me 3 seconds to do a 180.

I was never super hyped for this because I never thought it was going to be as amazing as people expected. Between procedural generation and the vast scope of the in-game universe, there were clearly going to be limitations on what we were going to see in-game.

There is a difference between criticizing real problems and not picky criticizing for the sake of confirming an already held negative bias. And I think the "it's not for them" defense is often directed at people who are clearly feeling the latter.

It's a weird thing that presents itself in video game discussion that we, as fans, tend to gravitate towards extremes. Either a game is BEST GAME EVER or it's 0/10 shit sux lol. So legitimate criticisms are often times met with immediate dismissal because people are assuming others discussing the game must fall into the latter category if there is any criticism at all.

I can maybe understand a few people being disappointed by the whole multiplayer thing but Sean Murray really tried to steer people away from thinking it was intended to be played multiplayer anyway as that is not the focus at all.

And, sure, the game doesn't have perfect graphics (such as having AA issues and pop-in on the PS4 version) but they really are honestly no big deal at all and don't bother me in the least.

But this game that Sean Murray and his company made pretty much does exactly what they said it would. At least it isn't crashing on me during game play (except for it crashing twice when getting into the main menu before loading the game but no problems during actual play), and I don't know what its frame rate is but the game runs smoothly, I think the game is beautiful, I like the gameplay a lot, and, like I said, they are doing what they said they would with this game.

I really think that many people that were disappointed with this game really honestly just don't get it and had extremely high - probably unrealistic - expectations. I think Hello Games ended up doing exactly what they advertised and I have not been disappointed at all - in fact, I am having even more fun with it than I thought I would.

Just don't feel that I am playing the same game that these critics and some people are deriding - makes no sense to me.

I have been playing - and following - computer/video games my whole life and I think this game is one of the greatest things to have ever happened. I just cannot believe I *literally* have an entire *universe* at my disposal. Sure - it is an incredibly shallow universe, but, and maybe I'm just showing my 40-ish age here, every single second I spend playing this game I am in absolute constant amazement at what Hello Games has accomplished and that I can really just hop into a spaceship and literally fly anywhere in a virtual universe that is practically as big as our own. In fact, if you count up the number of probably habitable planets in our real known universe, the one in No Man's Sky actually has a larger number I'm sure.

Obviously, I am loving this gem of a game... :)

You might have some good loot on you.

Time to upgrade your ships weapons.

I feel like I'm still a noob, though. It's my second jump and I only have like 350,000
units. Trying to upgrade to a better ship! The hostile ships had these huge laser beams that killed me in like two shots and they could easily outmaneuver me.
 
OK all adult shit done.

Time to sit in front of NMS all day.

If you get a warning for hostiles, sometimes you can quickly warp away.

Yeah, I feel like the acceleration on the right stick is a little weird sometimes. One of the reasons I'm still likely going to switch over to PC tomorrow, aside from the general graphics bump.
 
What's the best path to follow? Center? Atlas? or my own?

Also why should I keep my
Atlast stones?
I don't have any but I've seen that advice

I was thinking about it right before bed last night. I'm not disappointed in what we got out of the gate at all. But if the game follows a Minecraft-like development trajectory, so does my playtime systematically approach infinity.

anyone else still getting it ?

Most of the time, yeah.

Not sure of the downsides/if I should really be worried about it though. I haven't really been naming anything, and I still get money for uploading discoveries so...?

Traveling without your ship definitely needs some sort of boost or ease of travel. I mean I love exploring on foot but it takes forever to get anywhere, and using 25% of my fuel just to take a 5 second flight seems wasteful. I already have one sprint upgrade installed on my suit to make it easier, but it still could use improvement.

Started heading to a planets atmosphere only to be attacked by 3 hostile ships and die. FML.

I got scanned by hostiles as I was traversing between a planet and a moon, so I just noped out of there with my hyperdrive. I think I'm gonna make it mandatory to never go into space without at least one hyperdrive jump in the can so I can easily escape if needs be.

I'm not noticing the weirdness. But I bumped up the sensitivity to 100 early on and it felt much better. It's still not super sensitive, feels normal to me now.

Also, yes I've had the online services down most of the time.

Got a bugged distress beacon last night. As I fly closer to it, the time to reach it goes down, but then starts to increase, so I can never reach it.
Click to expand...

Hmm, the one time i tried to approach one of those, that's what happened to me. And then i got wrecked by hostiles. Assumed it was a trap and have been avoiding them like the plauge since then...
 
I would buy the shit out of any DLC they release for this game.

I think I've already spent more hours on this game than I do with most $60 games I buy, and it feels like I've only just scratched the surface of this game.

The first patch notes indicated this, so I'm very pumped. Pilotable freighters and ability to build bases is something I certainly never imagined or expected to do in this game, but lo and behold, it's coming.

Shhhh, he did say future updates would be free... let it be so.

I know what you mean. ;)

I don't mind using the ship for short jaunts now I have it up and running, but everywhere I have visited has had plutonium to power my engines, some places had loads of it, other barren planets still had clumps every now and then. Are you finding a lack of fuel at all?

This did worry my as I thought I maybe got lucky with a plentiful starter planet/s.
 
This new planet has bases and aliens everywhere. Been learning a lot of new words. Plenty of resources. No creatures though, and sentinels are quite bitchy.

Really liking this game. I don't see myself finishing it, but sure getting on every few days (for a few hours) to explore around and see what's new out there.
 
PushingButtons said:
So I deleted my save and restarted last night and didn't use the pre-order ship. What a difference that made. I got the hyperdrive blueprints and I'm more or less set. The next task on my agenda after work is to get the warp cell going.
Click to expand...

what's wrong with the preorder ship? I'm using it, no problems.
 
So uh, don't park you ship near Heredium....

I parked next to it last night and as I was trying to fly away, the Heredium block trapped my ship (twice) and I had to clear the huge block out out so I could get away from it. This was after I had to repair my ship (twice). And when I did eventually take off, my ship basically warped out of the planet and back into space in a flash.

The good news from this is that I got a lot of Heredium, which I was in need of, so it was a trade off...I guess.

It's not a trap, the distress beacon is asking you to beat those hostiles.
I was confused to but then saw pirates attacking huge ships and realized it was asking me to help those huge ships out.

Most likely on the other side of the planet. Fly to it through space.

In terms of hyperdrives: I have a feeling HG will issue a patch that fixes the recipe. Fortunately new ships have the hyperdrive, but not having the recipe is a bit concerning for me.
 
The Utopian planet I never want to leave. So lush and full of resources:

It's surrounded by beauty everywhere with clear lakes and high mountain tops. As I sit high in the mountains looking in the stars:

I imagine the base building will be fairly basic. But I'm hoping the base has a huge inventory and you can send resources to base like you can with your ship. If you can install a Galactic terminal then that would be perfect

That plus a vehicle would be awesome.
