Planning on buying this for PC but the horrible FoV puts me off. Have they said anything about that being adjustable?
Isaiah Fisher
Yes it's adjustable on PC.
Ryan Hall
so why do ps4 players have to suffer
Charles Lee
So I'm playing currently, just left my starting planet, and the next hearest planet is 2 hours away, does anyone know how to speed up space travel short of buying a newer ship with faster engines? So far so good desu, I'm enjoying waltzing around collecting shit and checking out the crazy sights.
Chase Howard
NOPE
Isaac Price
because allowing too much graphics customization on console can lead to having bad performance, which consoles aren't supposed to have.
Zachary Long
>general reported
Kevin Roberts
but i mean doesn't the whole planet start rendering as you enter it
Levi Clark
to add to this, the only graphical thing so far thats a bit annoying is the asteroid pop in distance when you are in space. It about the only thing that takes away from the experience so far
Nathaniel Mitchell
This, and i wouldnt really call it "suffering". Im only 5hrs in but so far im excited. I cant wait to get back on and explore. this work day is gonna drag.
Oliver Thompson
>Heridium >Only way I've noticed so far to obtain it is to murder the local wildlife >Need it to get off of the hellblasted poison shithole that the game started me on
So is there an alternative method to getting this stuff or am I stuck triggering Space PETA for now?
Joshua Murphy
Its in those dark purpleish column/monoliths. They arent on evey planet but ive seen them on most ive been to. You can also buy it from a space station.
Lincoln Howard
Cont...
Once you get craft recipies for antimatter,electron vapor, and suspension fluid you can make your own hyperdrive fuel and the game really opens up.. was able to get with 5 hrs of play.
Evan Brooks
Do planets have biomes?
John Johnson
They need to overhaul the planet generation algorithm. The game would be great if they just did that
William Ward
Unfortunately not. This is the only thing that keeps me from buying the game. Lets hope they do an update and add poles, rivers and oceans in the future
John Jones
Isn't this game out yet?
Lucas Cruz
I've been wandering around reachable areas from my ship for about a half hour. Found a monolith that taught me "Give" in xeno language and some outposts that look like they were abandoned in a fucking hurry.
Not a single piece of heridium was discovered but I've been finding metric fucktons of gold, iron, and platinum. Only realized I could get Heridium from creatures after killing a carnivorous bug that tried to eat me.
Gabriel Hughes
ps4 only
Jaxson Jones
not for pc
Connor Murphy
Only on ps4 Wait for 12th
Oliver Gonzalez
What a shame, we've yet to see some good planets in any of these games.
Robert Robinson
>/nsmg/ Good job, bud.
Elijah Hughes
How many times has your guys' game froze/crashed? One freeze and one crash here. Been playing about 3-4 hours total.
Isaac Rogers
none at all yet, about 2 hrs in. Super comfy and smooth so far
Jacob Wilson
crashes on warp like 1/5 times, and once when I was fighting a sentry.
Kevin Torres
So what's the consensus on this game? With the lack of detail I assumed this game would be like a multiplayer space exploration game where each computer/console generates its own part of the universe and it contributes to a server which stores the entire universe.
Joshua Carter
>Started on a beautiful green and red world full of plants, animals and every kind of resource. >Glowing mushrooms light up at night and guide me to caves. >All the animals are grazers. >Heridium high rise blocks everywhere.
Who /blessed/ here?
I don't even want to leave.
Matthew Green
Have you tried warping to another planet yet? That's when it crashed on me.
Alexander Bailey
Do the planets vegetation get more exiting? All the pictures i have seen from in-game makes the planets seem pretty empty and barren to me.
Nolan Thompson
Once the modders get a hold of this, we're inevitably going to see some goatsee or naked bimbo species soon.
Ayden Wilson
With the pulse drive? Yeah, been to two planets and the space station so far, haven't tried leaving the solar system yet. Where the fuck do I get warp cells?
Xavier Wood
Not me famalam, I started on a toxic wasteland.
Gabriel Cooper
Aren't oceans in?
Luke Lee
you just have to find a good planet. looks for weather wet flora high
Jack Long
So is this game actually good? I mean exploring is neat but for me it usually gets boring quite fast. I like progression, resource gathering and upgrading and shit.
it's a super pretty minecraft in space without the building.
Nathaniel Ross
Provided they are adding things that weren't supposed to be in the core gameplay like base building its highly possible for a future terrain overhaul.
Jaxson Sullivan
I remember watching a video of Sean saying that it was theoretically possible for two buddies to agree to head in a certain direction with the intention of meeting up.
He said it'd take weeks and weeks but that's it was possible, and also said something like "Even if they make it to the same planet, one would have to say 'Okay, I'm on this planet and I'm on a mountain, where are you?'"
Does anybody remember watching that? I cba to find it.
In any case, the beardy fucker lied. If it is not possible to see other plays within the game, he lied. He should've stated that from the outset.
With all of the hype NMS had it seems like Hello Games had an opportunity to release one of the seminal games of the decade, yet they have deliberately avoided almost every feature which would have made their game a popular hit.
One has to ask, why the fuck did they do that? I would've waited an extra YEAR for this game if they would've just added a basebuilding/furniture type thing so I can make my planets comfy.
tl;dr NMS confirmed for monumental flop. Butthurt pandemic.
Noah Young
Pic?
Landon James
Is it Friday yet?
Brandon Barnes
I'm actually kinda sad that there isn't any coop function, i would love to explore all that space with a buddy.
I hope they add that in the future, i might actually buy it then.
Aiden Davis
>no online multiplayer >cursory level pcg algorithm akin to zones in diablo >generic minecraft gameplay without the building that made minecraft fun >no civilizations Why did we get so excited about this game again?
Nicholas Rivera
good thing I didn't preorder this
wew lads
Jaxon Green
Trying.
I keep getting an error when I try to upload the screenshot to twitter to transfer it.
Aiden Rodriguez
none, been playing 12+ hours buy em from space station
Adam Perry
The only thing which peaked my interest in the game was the possibility of eventually meeting somebody.
I mean, I thought that if all players were in the same universe, and we'd all be heading to the centre of the universe, by the time lots of folks made it there the, other plays would abound.
Sean Murray is such a sneaky little fucker. He waited until yesterday to clarify explicitly that the game has no multiplayer despite having said in the past that it was possible. What an asshat.
Grayson Taylor
bought it on console since console players tend to have better communities and my pc isn't that good (three year old core i5, two year old midrange GPU)
did i fuck up?
Bentley Richardson
Not sure about this but certain planets may have a high proportion of water and therefore oceans. It was mentioned in the 1.03 patch notes they increased variation on sea beds so thats probably true. However what I was saying is that if a planet has valleys with an ocassional lake or sea it will have so along all the planet insteadof having a non-uniform terrain generation.
Hudson Howard
What do
Noah Cook
>"tend to have better communities" >there is no community based element in NMS
Seems like you did, sir.
Jaxson Hughes
stand back
Cooper Rodriguez
reach in, faggot
Thomas Kelly
PC version will have AA and a FoV slider. I'm upgrading my GTX660 soon so I have no worries
Sebastian Cooper
What GPU exactly?
Oliver Sanders
the other question is, is it a shitty pc port? since it was console focused from the start
Aaron Wilson
Kinda an asshole move yeah. I was also under the impression that we could potentially meet another person, i was actually sort of interested by that fact alone.
Well now i'm glad i didn't pre-order.
Lucas Wilson
All of this stuff annoys me too. Why is all of this stuff text-based? Like, it is 2016, and this is supposed to be a full price console title.
Can't we see the lava? Can't we have a little half-assed animation of you reaching in or backing away? Or would this have constituted some actual work for the devs?
Seriously pathetic. What were they thinking?
Michael Harris
Radeon HD 7850
Lucas Flores
I reached in and it almost killed me.
Juan Smith
Reach in, you know you want too.
Ayden Roberts
>get reminded of this game from some tweets >remember the awesome trailer >oh boy, fucks yes, it's out >go on tpb >nothing >what's going on here >check wikipedia >pc version not out for a few days
Fucking shit. At least it's on gog so it won't take any time to get cracked. Hopefully someone will upload it.
Henry Davis
>tfw you're UK and game isn't out tomorrow >tfw pre-ordered a month ago but someone who pre-ordered last week go there's today >tfw
Jayden Adams
Yeah that's below the minimum requirements, so unless you planned on upgrading your GPU any time soon, you were better off with the PS4 version.
Jacob Green
>Sean Murray is such a sneaky little fucker. He waited until yesterday to clarify explicitly that the game has no multiplayer despite having said in the past that it was possible. What an asshat. It's not like it's sold as "singleplayer" on Steam or anywhere else,or that the most quoted article about multiplayer is especially titled "stop thinking of nms as a mmo"
Jose Foster
>Glowing pits of life everywhere.
I don't want to leave my home planet ;_;
Caleb Nguyen
No matter how hard you beat them over the head with these facts, they will literally never understand. Trust me, I've tried.
William White
torrent when
Brandon Gray
there's nothing out here except stillbirths and giant teddy bears.
Logan Thomas
I literally watched a video in which Sean Murray is playing the game and describing how it would be >theoretically possible for two players to eventually meet each other, and see each other.
So like, why would he say that? Is that not intentionally misleading?
Mason Morgan
below minimum? yikes the worst part is i can't put any newer GPU on here (i think) without upgrading the mobo and if i upgrade the mobo i have to upgrade the cpu because there are no newer mobos with this chipset (lga 1155)
that "gotta replace everything" feel
Sebastian Thompson
>One has to ask, why the fuck did they do that?
Because that sort of game can't exist on current hardware. But hyping one up is easy as shit in the currently completely insular video games market. No matter what, people will be forced to accept it, because "trolling" is the new word for dissent.
>people who want you to buy things have zero reason to care about you, they just want you to buy the thing so they get paid. Therefor everything they say is probably a lie meant to get you to pay them. They are not your friend.
Are you this new to video games? Of course they lied. They lied just as much as Chris Roberts has.
Jonathan Phillips
did you read the fucking patch notes? 1.03 states that it added a function to make it easier to find other people by scanning peoples previously visited systems.
Noah Butler
>charging 59.99€ for an indie game
Hahahaha. Good one m8. What the fuck are they thinking?
Kayden Russell
So what does easier mean? Will i actually get to see another player?
Lucas Johnson
60 fucking dollars lel
Lucas Ortiz
yeah, otherwise why the hell would they even add that function. its even stated that you can find other people in steam and ps store
Levi Davis
... But :(
I remember when gaming was fun, and all of my hopes & more were delivered unto me with each new wonderful installment.
I want to go back to 2006 and play The Shivering Isles and be a bibby 12 year old again.
Samuel Wright
>If we tell them nothing, they will make their own hype.
>then when the game is nothing, we can then deflect criticism and look artsy by saying something like "They only dislike it because of expectations they themselves made"
It's brilliant in how easy it is to con gamers out of their money. Why does everyone keep pinning all their hopes on a messiah of developers? Weren't you around for the Molyneux and Spore years?
Charles Young
pcie 3.0 x16 is still the standard.( graphics card slot on your mobo) if your processor is a K (i5 2500K?) model it should last you a couple years aswell. Get a radeon RX480/70 if you plan on sticking with a 1080p monitor, just check your PSU
Joseph Richardson
they could've done that but it'd be a lot more work for a lot less content. What's better, 100 text based events like this or 10 animated events?
Jackson Taylor
For the record, I actually really liked Spore.
I think it is a lot better than NMS.
Might re-install and make master-race ass-faced aliens.
Leo Ward
>gaming was fun >when i was 12
Ignorance is bliss. The older you get, the more you see the world for what it really is.
Jaxon James
This game, design-wise, is just 3D Starbound/Terraria without any building mechanics.
That's why all the areas are huge and sparsely populated. That's why it all feels procedural and fake.
apparently all you need to get suckers to buy your shitty game is to put on an act with "passion"
jesus why are people so easily impressed
Jacob Johnson
>but it'd be a lot more work Oh blimey! WORK?! You absolute madman! Why would they wanna put work in there! It is all generated! 19 quintrillion planets! So many contents! Wow! They would have to make so many contents to fill all those planets with things that actually matter.
Anthony Collins
Where does it say that? source please. Getting some real mixed messages about this game.
Benjamin Clark
How about 100 animated events?
Owen Torres
oh that's a relief, i can do it piece by piece the cpu is a core i5 i3750k ivy bridge, bought it in 2012
why would a gtx970 be bad for 1080p? or do you mean it's sort of a waste on 1080p and needs 4k
Tyler Walker
It doesn't explicitly said that. Read it again. It says that they added a function to scan systems that other people have discovered and increase the chance of collision. It's being ambiguous on what 'collision' means, if it means find another already discovered planets or find other people.
Cooper Clark
>die >greeted by a doctor who fan's idea of a good science fiction quote
Man, this game is for fags.
Kevin Taylor
This game, man. I barely thought it would live up to the hype, let alone exceed it. I've been playing for four hours straight across only two systems and about five planets/moons, and it has been absolutely and utterly humbling. My breath is being taken away at every turn. I just drowned trying desperately to make my way out of a dark underwater cave on a cold, lonely, massive planet, with ominous growling startling me from far across some rocky, eroded mountains against the backdrop of a massive dark blue system. Earlier I was marveling at a herd of grazing antelope-like creatures on a little yellow paradise of a moon with a pink sky. Creatures were screeching in the distance and tinkling piano chords played in the background. I very much appreciate the technical and leveling aspects such as mining and trading, but most of all, this game has been an extremely emotional experience for me so far. I could barely pull myself away from my first system once I acquired the warp cell. No matter what I'm looking at, I have this excitement and this wonder and frustration that I am inevitably missing so much. I have never, EVER felt this lost. Space just beckons, wordlessly. What a beautiful, beautiful, titanic game. I have no words. Enjoy, everyone. And thank you, Sean and Hello Games. Jeez Louise.
Levi Fisher
Because they don't know how humans actually work because people don't talk to each other anymore.
So they base their narrative on the movies invented to give context to the worthless events in our lives.
