No Man's Sky general. SPAAAAACE edition.
Out right now for PS4, PC release on Friday the 12th.
>What is this game?
A relaxing procedurally generated space exploration game with some combat and trading.
>What do you do in the game?
From the HG website, no-mans-sky.com
>Is there multiplayer?
For instance overnight we hit 10 million species discovered in NMS... that's more than has been discovered on earth. WHAT IS GOING ON!!!
1st for small ships with lotsa slots.
2nd for torrent when
xrd for Atlas.
>Tfw same ship with less slots
Wooow.
I once had the same NPC land on two separate landing pads at the same time. Same ship. Same inventory of goods for sale, though each was separate, ie If I bought out the stock of Power gel at one the other one still had some gel in stock.
But one ship had 21 slots and the other ship had 17. It's just RNG how many slots they get. Keep trying!
I felt kinda bad ditching the Pre order ship for the Tallwing. Mines got 20 slots for 606k.
How many slots can a ship have max?
28 is the highest I've seen. Although freighters are coming soon apparently. So definitely more in those.
I've seen one with 33
Wait what? Freighters?
It's on their website. Base building and freighters in future updates.
I'm guessing by freighters they mean those big fuckin ships that stop in front of you in space.
I found a planet where there are caves filled with Pearls. Not only that but I found a settlement with a trading post right next to a giant cave. Each run I make nets me 300k and runs are about 5 minutes long or a bit longer.
Has anyone else been in a space fight yet?
Responded to a distress call and ended up getting raped by a 25 man squadron.
this game certainly needs building to some extent. it would be amazing to leave behind awesome structures on planets for others to find (and destroy if they wish)
Can people stop saying "every planet". Just because you haven't seen any mountains doesn't mean they don't exist. The planets are randomized, the ones in your area happen to not have them.
I fucking wish. I just keep raiding platinum deposits. Not the worst way to make a living
guys i've been flying towards the sun for 6 hours. when i run out of fuel, i shoot some rocks and keep going. will i ever reach the sun? i'm too far from the planets to turn back and I don't have any warp fuel.
I have seen a lot of gameplay and shots and not a single one had any great mountains or large canyons. Mountains aren't exactly that rare.
All I want is a Space Engineers with servers that aren't shit.
I just want to fucking raid ships and be a lone pilot floating my freighter around in the outer rim. Or maybe RP as a shady used ship salesman on an asteroid.
Is it too much to ask for? Just a basic building space sim that could handle more than 8 players (or at least TWO).
Well you'd need multiplayer for that so...
So is this just another shit survival game? I just want to explore cool shit, not have to deal with fending for my life every 10 seconds so I can't even enjoy anything.
can't other players come across planets you've discovered?
There is no eating or thirst
Godspeed, you son of a bitch.
Not really.
No eating or thirst but you have to recharge life support systems quite often which gets annoying extremely fast. Add it to the list of shit that either needs changed or a way to disable.
i swear, it doesn't even look like it's getting any closer and the cursor for the space station and planets from the last system i was in have vanished, so, I'm basically directionless, except aiming towards the sun. I think I ruined the game.
It pretty much is, yeah.
Sure, but there's life support and hazard protection, so you still need a steady stream of resources. Functionally it's identical.
Sean said it was possible to drive from one solar system to another. That means you're not stuck in that solar system. Maybe the sun is that far away and that fucking huge?
well... I'll let you know if I get anywhere. i guess i could always just kill myself.
You should be able to reload your last save in the options menu.
You seriously still believe that?
i guess that's probably a good idea. kinda sucks though. i really wanted to see what happens when you hit the sun, but i think they're pulling an "infinite stairs" on me, like Super Mario 64 or some shit.
>tfw you can hold more than your ship.
The sun is more than likely just an entity in a plane that you can't reach, much like a skybox. Apply the same to space around you, so no you can't reach other stars by just flying. If someone posts a video showing otherwise I'd love to see it but seriously
>trusting anything Sean says
The fact he can't tell the truth is what made me cancel my preorder.
Are pirated copies going to be able to upload and download discoveries to/from the server?
Not really sure. Does anyone know what happens if you try playing the game normally on PS4 while being disconnected completely from the internet?
Can modders just hack the game to find out what lies at the center of the universe?
This game fucking blows
I wanted to ride a buggy to climb on space mountains, fly between space canyons along with winged aliens
This is just all flat and slow, I can't even fly the planets surface like in the trailer
>I can't even fly the planets surface like in the trailer
I've seen this tossed around a lot but no one explains. What happens if you try to skim the ground? Does it autoland?
>Sean said
And he wouldn't lie to us wouldn't he?
I just want to discover shit without shelling out 60 fucking dollars.
Maybe when I goes to pc. But on console is going to be a bit hard.
Invisible wall nudges you back in the air
No, it pushes you up. Space controls suck and the game does it's best to make sure you don't hit ANYTHING. In fact, the ship will sometimes just straight launch you to space.
haha it's literally Spore
Can't hit the ground. Invisible walls and shit. Press a button to autoland, can't even do that manually. Triple A $60 game my ass
The Arstechnica preview video had a canyon. Enough fall damage to take half the players health. Whether its deep enough for you is another matter.
arstechnica.com
A minute in.
>He wants to play video games, but doesn't want to pay.
Wow, senpai.
Seriously? I guess that removes any interest I had.
user I want you to be honest with me here.
How old are you and do you think this game is legit worth $60?
>no ship customization
This is a bigger travesty than no multiplayer. We have to rely on NPC aliens to have good taste.
It's honestly really strange that it's not in, given all the ships are made from a handful of interchangeable parts anyway. Why not let the player swap those parts out?
pic related
While nice, I was expecting something bigger. Hell, I'm not even sure I'd call that a canyon. That's more like a small ravine. I do still like the caves though.
So buy not buy?
Are these trade items simply for that, trading in for units?
Yeah pretty much. Sometimes you'll find an NPC that wants a specific item as well.
Steam sale.
Just buy Spengies
It's on GOG so just pirate it.
Fuck, I just started and I have full inventory.
Do you get more later on, like a storage that isn't your suit or ship?
Wait until they add in the features it's supposed to have
Hey guys, what is the Hyperdrive recipe again?
Dynamic Resonator and some other shit, I can't remember...
50% discount or more before you even consider buying.
Nope, just suit and ship. You can upgrade your suit to 48 slots. To upgrade your ship you have to find/buy a new one. Remember your ship can hold twice as many materials in 1 stack as you can in your suit.
aim for $40 and under
pretty solid game but it has a lot of problems
That doesn't mean you should pirate it.
Just wait for the game to get a 50% price cut. It'll even have more content by then.
The problem with no man's sky is that procedural generation is inherently boring.
"Oh look, it's that same type of wing I've seen on a dozen other forms of life, but this time they're blue wings." Repeat ad nauseam.
If everything's different, it's all exactly the fucking same.
Did you ever get bored playing Bloodborne? Of course not. Every setting is unique but it's also handcrafted. Sure, mobs are repeated here and there but not so much that you groan at the sight of them.
Game sucks. Wish it was cooler. I like the colors of deep space tho.
most planets are boring as hell but every now and then I find a really cool one I spend like 5-6 hours on exploring
Or you could just pirate it and then buy it when the price hits an acceptable level if you like it.
I don't know if procedural generation is boring or the lack of multiplayer and base building.
Any idea what it means if two ship units have a highlighted red outline.
>no launch thruster fuel
>no plutonium in sight
>highly radiated planet
>sentinel outside looks angry
>severe weather warning
help
Matching parts are touching and they get a bonus. You should be trying to get all of your parts matching on all of your devices.
>cold planet
>get inside when cold bar is low
>hot planet
>get inside when hot bar is low
>water planet
>go up when breath bar is slow
>toxic planet
>get inside when toxic bar is low
>radiated planet
>get inside when radiation bar is low
>escort mission planet
>get inside when fingerless glove meter is low
Am I missing any other strategies to combat the dynamic weather patterns?
Come find me on my planet and I'll show you dope multiplayer strats
How old are you that $60 is that hard to come by? or what poor life choices have left your pockets more lint filled than a fat mans belly button? If you think the game is shit, then don't even worry about it plain an simple.
>Or you could just pirate it
ITT: (Man) Child gets upset people can actually make money, and used his GBP on tendies.
t. middle class white suburban kid whose parents paid for college
Fuck, I was really hoping for some place to dump all these elements.
Why are women so fucking stupid?
Wait for base building.
I wish this game explained how to do shit better.
If that blows her mind, tell her two players found each other on a stream on the first day
You can't take the sky from me!
looks like a wyvern
Tell her about Space Engine.
Where the fuck do I find Zinc somewhere that isn't these stupid yellow flowers? I swear it the hardest part of making warp fuel.
...
...
this game looks nice, but from what i understand you just
>land on planet
>explore and gather stuff
>leave
>repeat
is there anything else?
you can do some trade or try and pirate.
Please god tell me there's some sort of trick to getting animals to spawn. I have spent the last 6 hours looking for the last fucking critter on this god-forsaken moon and I had found the first 7 in like, five minutes.
>He thinks this is an argument
>I want it, I like it but I dont wanna pay it
>It has things I like and would b satisfied doing but I dont think its worth it
Better question is, how old are that you think the world works to please you?
Try different biomes or time of day
I'm not the user you're replying to. I bought this game on steam for convenience sake, but I'm also going to pirate the GoG version so I have a back up copy.
so, are species you find completely unique? and if you name them, they are named that for anyone else who finds them?
Yes.
You bought the game though, that man is literally saying that he shouldn't pay for a product that he himself said he would enjoy
>the games ending is literally just new game plus
wow I paid 60 dollars for this shit?
Not only did I pay for it, I paid the equivalent of $65USD in my countries monopoly money.
