Anyone know how to open the steel reinforced doors? I've been running into them on every outpost on this planet :/ I even have an upgraded laser!

Weapons- no mining. Your strongest gun gun.

Seems like there should be a way to hack them too but I guess not?

tfw you completely purge your inventory on the galactic trade network, get back to the surface and have to smack plutonium with your gun because you're out of laser
 
Been lucky to have no crashes I guess (been playing since 2 hours before PSN launch) Still on first planet besides quickly visiting another one.
 
that 5 mins turned into a half hour very quickly. need to crash. after work tomorrow I am gold for 24 hours :D

edit btw took some getting used to but I pretty much love the space controls even with my basic ship. It's arcadey but tight and satisfying on the whole. I just had my first taste of dogfighting and loved it, definitely going to be doing a ton on this character once I get a decent ship.
 
playing with an Asian version (SEA) of the game (Chinese /English), everything is fine but in one menu there is at the bottom a text flashing "connecting to online services". Are the server down or am I the only one who can't upload his discovery?
 
Woke up at 6 to start playing, the next thing I know, it's 8 and I forgot to wake up my daughter to take her to kindergarten :-(

Loving the game, it is magnificent, and I see myself spending soooo much time with it.
(Of course, it helps that I enjoying wandering around, exploring and learning new things)

My first (and only so far) planet is OK, slightly toxic, slightly hot, but luckily all the animals so far are very friendly, mini-brontosaurus looking creatures.
- Found a monolith, learned my first foreign word, and increased favorable standing with Klingons or whoever.
- Found some more landmarks, ship parts, etc.
- Explored for a while, I am not leaving until I find all 7 important discoveries, 3/7 so far.
- Renamed system and planet, but decided to not rename flora and fauna, it would take forever.
- Upgraded my suit, almost fixed my ship. I still need Heridium, know where it is, but I'm visiting other areas on the way.
- Bunch of crates need some Atlas Pass V1.1 - still haven't figured out what that is

My main complaint:
- Inventory slots - already filled them all up, and now I have to juggle items already. Pretty soon, I will have to start dumping unneeded items (but am afraid they might be needed later). I have some elements that serve no purpose (for now).

Also: Multitool - I upgraded it, then realized I now have a gun instead of a mining tool, couldn't figure out if I can swap between modes, so I dismantled the gun. I know it can be swapped, I need to study it more. It would have been helpful if they gave me a tip.

Also, I started the game mining some iron and other ore, and all of a sudden two sentinels shiw up and start shooting at me. I managed to escape and hide, they didn't pursue me, but now I am constantly checking to see if they are near. I thought they only come if I kill the animals, but I guess not.

All in all, a few minor complaints aside (I'd pay earth money to have more inventory slots), I love the game. Overwatch, get lost.
10/10.

Triangle D:
 
I'm reading the room and I think this may be an unpopular opinion, but I almost can't believe how boring this game is.

I started the game by walking around and finding ingredients in a neverending computer generated landscape. I had to walk close to 10 minutes to get heredium then walk back. Nothing interesting ever happens except for being attacked by drones that have way too many hitpoints and fire bullets at you that you can't seem to dodge. There's nothing to the combat but trying to aim as quickly as you can.

I fixed my ship and went into space and it's just more collecting shit. I don't feel like the universe is vast, I feel like the universe is bland and pointless and just a bunch of crap generated by math, perhaps because it's just a bunch of crap being generated by math. It's so boring.

Haven't purchased the game yet, but I think you can dodge with R1 + Left Analog Stick. You can also use your jetpack while dodging forward to increase your running speed (might make the 10 minute walks faster!).

There are Pods on the planets that allow you to get more inventory space, first one is free. Then it increases by 10k each time after that.

I can name plenty of games but I'm sure you know that

Some of you need to stop with this imaginary hype that keeps being brought up
Click to expand...

You probably could, maybe I should have said the most hyped game that I've followed.

Come on, the hype wasn't imaginary.

Bottomline, if you love crafting, survival elements, resource collection and exploring different locales then, I am sure you'll love the game and it'll give you a ton of playtime.

Personally, and this is just my personal opinion, yours may differ, I think the longevity is questionable, what I've seen so far (on my own playtime, and on the numerous streams) doesn't necessarily give me huge drive to push on, I pretty much know what I am going to find, more weird plants copy and pasted across another planet, more resources to collect, more samey blueprints with minimal stat increases, more 'lego-brick' creatures, there isn't much of a game here, for me.
 
icespide said:
wait. you can teleport your ship to waypoints you've discovered? how do you do that?
Click to expand...

There's specific machinery that lets you call your ship. Not all outposts have it. It's a ridged-reddish/blackish, thick sort of half-pillar.

At trading stations, any of the little screens next to the landing pads can call your ship

You need a bypass chip for both actions

Yep. If ever there was a thread destined to be a hot mess, that one was it.

It is a pretty slow-paced game, especially in the beginning. Plus there's the ever-present randomness factor; some people will start on lush planets with abundant resources, and some will begin on hazardous barren rocks. Sounds like you were toward the latter end of that scale. Once you can first travel off-world and find better planets, things quickly get better.
 
What are people defining as 'longevity'?

I see this concern a lot, but no-one ever qualifies what they view as an example time.

For example, I'll happily sink 25-35 hours into a Creed game, and have clocked well over 500hrs in Driveclub, but I consider both to have longevity & offer good value entertainment.

So if I get as much time out of this as I have something like GTA (~50hours) I'll be more than happy...but then I remember playing the original version of Elite every night for at least a couple of hours for about 6 months, so I'm more than likely to be entertained by NMS.
 
Are the green items with little bits of lore just to be read and then sold as high as you can find? I guess nobody would know yet if they do anything else...
 
The game is awesome, couldn't stop for 4 hours (i usually don't play that much). The feeling of being absolutely lost in the immensity is something i don't recall experiencing ever in a game like that.

I started in a cold planet with few rare animals, then i went to a "tropical" moon with weirder animal and then the planet of that moon with astonishing looks: wide, very wide horizon of reddish flying piece of land and copper mine. I called it "agent copper" if anyone of you stumble upon it one day... Amazing.

Really a nice surprise since i entered in the hype only a week ago.

Amazing work, it's unbelievable that only 3 people made this. It's a huge and creative slap in the face of those uninspired AAA games that we see too often. Kudos Hello Games <3

I think part of the reason I find this game so boring is raw cynicism. I'm seeing behind the curtain. I don't feel like I'm a speck in a vast universe at all. I just feel like I'm inside of a computer algorithm as it barfs shit up according to various rules, quite possibly because that's exactly what's happening.

In my personal opinion it means how long the game can hold my attention, I personally think the gameplay mechanics are too simplistic to hold my attention for long, I think so much focus has been put on the massive amount of planets and different flora and fauna, that the rest of the game is diluted because of it.

For me, I'll go as far as to say that is not a 'game' but an 'experiance'

Anybody managed to scan the flying creature (like birds?)
Click to expand...

You have to keep it steady on them while zoomed in. Takes a bit of luck, and it helps to be as high up as you can. I think it's a bit too hard to get a scan on small-to-medium sized flying things, hopefully they can make that a little easier in a future update. Big things like the 30 foot flying eels I ran into scan right away.
 
this is not mine, but bloody hell

So, I guess they have moved past the day one patch, and entered new uncharted waters.
Anyway, I have the game, and I like it, so I have no need for reviews anymore anyway.
Click to expand...
Yes now Jim sterling is s god of all reviews(just like they ignored the 8/10,they ignore all the other positive previews) but enough about that
 
For anyone who played pre patch.

Once you started again did you end up in the same system?

I seem to end up in the euclid system no matter how many times I delete my save game.

It could be say, by some, that God/Nature (according to your beliefs) would work, in some way, procedurally. If you make the leap of faith that the world you're witnessing are possible, the game become magic.

But i totally understand that it's not for everyone. I really love exploration so for me it's just perfect.

I feel you, but I think saying there isn't a "game" there is disingenuous considering you lay out the actual game in the above paragraph. Not enjoying the mechanics is fine, but saying it isn't a game is wrong.

I haven't played it and maybe I'll feel the same but there is a game there whether you enjoy it or not.
