Title: No Man's Sky
Post by: Himu on June 09, 2014, 11:12:01 PM
Game of the show for me. Inventive, emphasis on exploration, colorful art assets and color scheme, unique settings, unique premise. It's everything I've been wanting from the new systems.

Will get on PC.

It looks pretty cool, yeah. I was definitely hyped on the trailer.

Would like to see actual concrete gameplay though.

Looks interesting. It's a very bright vision of space.  I like the space exploration bit and it looks to be online. Curious to see what other "goals" there are besides exploration. As in, why chase down or shoot those other ships?

I'm getting Spore vibes from this game.

It definitely COULD go either way. It could suck ass or kick ass.

i hope it realizes its full potential, and don't feel like skyrim where every place looks the same

Is it just an exploration-based game or is there any risk/reward gameplay?

I think it could go either way... I am getting a lot of Endless Ocean vibes with the new locations/monsters discovered, which is fucking awesome

I think having animals/locations be "discovered by" other players is a mistake. It will pretty much ruin immersion to come across an antelope discovered by B4LLZD33P420 or whatever

Were people really that genuinely excited about No Man's Sky last year? Because what they showed off this year at E3 was just atrocious. Dull, copy-pasta worlds with a couple of minor things to tool around with, endless repeated across an entire galaxy. You can trade! And fight! And...uhh...explore! You can do all those things and more! Maybe.

A year later and this is what they show off:

The guy comes across like a college student desperately trying to BS his way through a class presentation even though he knows he doesn't have anything.

Honestly the seemlessness of it impressed me. EVE makes you load so often it might as well be a 360 Bethesda game.

It helps that there's hardly anything that actually needs to be loaded in.

Yeah. The potential is cool but they haven't actually showed anything that approximates actual fun gameplay. We'll see.

It's probably not a great idea to hype up an almost infinite universe then. It's not so much that they haven't showed a ton to do. They haven't really shown what you do at all. Other than visiting planets and seeing shit.

There still may be an amazing game here. They just haven't shown any of it yet really beyond isn't this cool premises.
