No Man's Sky

Oh shit really? I'll be pirating it day one. I can't wait to see how bad it is and for all the salt to flow when people realized they wasted $60 on a piece of shit shovelware.

I still can't believe they're charging $60 for this. Not even Jonathan Blow was that arrogant.

Why are these still here?

Do we even know what you do in this game yet?

OH MY GOD, YOU CAN'T JUST ASK THAT

I am looking forward to finding out what you actually do in it.

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING

Nice

ANYTHING?!

It's basically minecraft in space without the building, and as soon as you leave atmo literally every change you made to the planet is gone.

wow, that's pretty shit

...

Holy shit it's even worse than I thought.

They originally said
And then they walked that back to
>the really big things you do on a planet will be seen by other players in their games
And now it's

You may also notice that the guy is walking around really slowly, and that's not just to slow down the amount of content we're seeing, but because whenever he starts to walk fast, the framerate fucking TANKS and you can see stuttering.

This is going to be another Spore isn't it?

I just wanted to build a giant skyscraper sized effigy to my dick and I can't even do that?

I'm sorry user, but no one will ever see your dick but you.

Well I suppose if you dick around in space for a while then claim a planet to yourself you could lose your space ship in the ocean and go native.

you forgot about your mom

this game might actually be worth something after all

I wanted to to band together with a bunch of anons and go on a Black Crusade and make the galaxy burn.
Never ever.

Oh, and the only "changes" that remain are the ability to name the starbound-tier planets and monsters the random generator shits out, but there will be a word filter, so no "offensive" names.

I think this has the potential to be far more disastrous. Take a look at the Steam forum or the comments section on any video, and you're going to get some serious Star Shitizen vibes from how fanatically loyal and invested the community is to this game's success. Because they've shown so little of what the game really is, people can project what they want it to be, which is the biggest fucking recipe for disappointment possible.

It's going to be delicious.

No. You can blow holes in the world a'la Red Faction, but no building, and as was said, as soon as you leave the planet, all terrain changes revert.

THE DEV WOULD HATE YOU! FOR ASKING THAT!

;^)

you can do something better shape a planet like your dick

WAIT, WHAT? THAT'S BULLSHIT, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK literally no fun allowed

delete this

They've said that currently you can destroy terrain in ways where you or your ship can get stuck, and they classify that as a "bug that needs to be fixed", so expect terrain destruction to be limited in some way, such as a layer of impenetrable bedrock past a certain depth, so it's highly unlikely you'll be able to make a dick shaped planet, even if you decided to stay there exclusively so the terrain gen wouldn't be rolled back.

There are a surprising amount of no fun allowed mechanics that appear to be designed to funnel the player into a very limited amount of "developer sanctioned" ways to interact with the world.

hello?

No thanks, OP.

Well, that's the only way it ever could have worked. I mean there are so many planets.

I'm sure that will work, other languages will probably simply pass through the filter, just like all 'H1tl3r dindus'

Dark Souls 2 has a surprisingly comprehensive world filter in many languages. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought in something like that for this.

...

I don't get retards like you. So what, if someone makes multiple posts he's a shill and if he only makes one post he's also a shill?

Why are they even doing it? Do gamers actually care?

What did spore have that was bad? I remember I played it and had fun.

Broken promises.
You also might be brain damaged

it's what it could have been, not what it was

No, but the non-gamer normalfag crowd this is being marketed to does. Can you imagine the media backlash that would occur if those non-gamers were forced to see creatures or planets with offensive/triggering names?

Yes :^)

Why is there so much hype around randomly generated games? They all seem to be the same shit after a while, and they're nowhere near as good as a well designed level.

yes shill you have to make a moderate amount of posts :^)

Well for one thing, it's the first videogame in which you can play as a homosexual person. It's pretty revolutionary.

Weeeeell… I did, maybe… could have sort of pirate it…

It was hyped like Evolve?

...

Jesus fucking christ you could land a C130 in the nostrils at 3:50

Oh, so that's what this video is? Cool.

I mean I didn't mention OP being a shill, I just though he was shitposting.

I pre-ordered both but I'm primarily gonna play it on ps4. I have a $6000 gaming pc but just prefer consoles because they have much nicer graphics.

...

People paid money to invest in this.

As in, professionals who think they're knowledgeable and informed about what they do, who control quite a lot of money, thought this was a good idea.

And then people preordered it.

Indeed it is. mod.gib.me/darksouls2/ngword/english.txt

I can imagine them putting some interns in a room and tasking them to come up with the most ridiculous word filter imaginable, some of the entries are fucking hilarious.

Despite all of that being 100% true, I bet that it's still going to be a massive commercial success.

So not only is there nothing to do in the game, but it is piss poor technically. All hail modern AAA.

What do you think the game industry is now?

It's a bait and switch pre-order scheme. Buying games post-launch doesn't matter anymore, it is the pre-order and the attached season pass that counts now.

So it's a 3D version of Starbound where nothing you do matters.

So it's a walking simulator. In space.

When will you learn.

Since it's being demoed on the bbstation, I think it's safe to say that it'll probably run fine on upper-mid range PCs from 4 years ago, but you're right, the performance is very poor for the visual fidelity shown.

They've said that if the game sells well, and continues to sell well post-release that they want to add more features to the game, possibly including the ability to build, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. The current game that is being delivered looks like it could be fun to pirate and kill a few hours with, just flying around and shooting shit until you get too many GTA wanted stars and get your shitpussy gaped by the no-fun-allowed police.

Think less walking simulator, and more unfinished early access "survival" in space.

joshandjayshow.com/nomansskybeta/
perfect prediction of the game

Does this game even have a story?
If so why don't we spoil for everyone like the Boston Salt Party?

So you just wander around doing fuck all for no reason?

You know, it's shit as a game, but becomes pretty neat if you look at it as a tech demo. The scale of that shit is incredible as is the fact that there are no loading screens, it's just brought down by the fact that there's fuck all to do. They should make the changes the player makes permanent and sell it as an… asset of sorts to other game devs, who could then, for example, populate the universe with various factions and have interstellar warfare with the players trying to tip the war in a faction's favour, maybe model the galaxy into Milky Way and set it into the Mass Effect or Warhammer 40k or whatever futuristic universe… that sort of thing, while these faggots would just keep on trying to refine the procedural generation, engine upgrades, etc. It could bring in the age of MMOs where this kind of shit is the basis, and not some Star Citizen pipe dream. Really, this could be made into an great game, and it pisses me the off that these faggots will probably never realise it.

Wow. That's literally DLC blackmail. This is the future of the gaming industry, isn't it? Jesus Christ; I'm fucking done.

No. But the devs keep acting all coy about some great mysterious treasure that awaits players at the center of the universe, we could hack the game after it launches and spoil the surprise for everyone.

The "story" is largely told through lore items scattered around the universe that you can find, and through interactions with NPCs with the end goal being for the player to discover what's at the center of the universe.

I'm sure it'll be spoiled day 1 (or sooner, if they give out review copies that aren't limited), so don't worry, a legendary amount of asspain is incoming.

Just think, all of that could come to fruition with modding tools Disclaimer: There will be no modding tools

It's really no different from the whole "Buy this shit game and maybe we'll release that non-shit game that you actually want :^)" thing publishers have been doing for a while.
Oh I think the future has far more cancerous practices in store for us.

I hope everyone now understands why season passes are a thing now. Fellow Goys! We need to finance DLC now, no matter how poor the game was, otherwise we won't ever be able to have the full experience.

I don't think you can actually mod an MMO without setting up your own separate servers and all, no?

You can do graphics and UI mods at least. You can set up servers too, like the Nostralius guys did, but that is a lot of work and not likely for a game that seems to be tanking.

The only confirmed connectivity is the name syncing for creatures and planets.

Since they've given so little information, players have gone pretty fucking crazy with speculation, even going so far as to say you can meet other players in the universe, but "it'll just be super rare because of how big it is".

There is no recent confirmation of that, and they've confirmed that you can play it offline, so I think it's safe to say there will be no player interaction at all.

...

If everything was retained, couldn't people go full scorched earth and destroy all the planets they come across? Wouldn't that ruin it for other players?

Thats sounds fun actually.

Is there even going to be an offline mode for this game?

there's billions and billions of planets, it wouldnt ruin shit

At one point they had mulled over the idea of allowing you to go full 14/88 and exterminate entire species on a planet, and claimed that from a technical standpoint it wouldn't even be difficult to implement, but they said that it just didn't make sense from a practical gameplay standpoint because of how massive the planets (and the internal cave systems) were.

I cant wait for the shills, I thought this shit was some indie piece of garbage but its actually AAA.

Everybody is talking about how much of a disappointment is going to be. Join the fun.

I don't understand this. What kind of game are they even making? Isn't the POINT of a sandbox game to remove all possible limitations? Shoehorning in a "story" that limits the player's options is nobody's idea of a good thing.

They think people enjoy JUST exploring and not doing anything else that isn't exploring.

By the way, how SJW are the devs? I know they are really far up their own asses but chugging the kool aid would be the cherry on top

It's a tranny. So pretty leftist/mentally ill.

I'd like some satisfacts to snack on here…

A sandbox game with few limitations needs a lot of content to keep the player entertained. By adding constraints, you can have comparatively little content, and gently (or in this case, not so gently) guide the player through "sanctioned" means of play, which will in theory result in a better play experience.

Imagine you have sparsely furnished mansion you wish to show off at a home and garden expo. It's truly massive, but each room only has one piece of furniture. Instead of spending all that time and money furnishing it, you close off 70% of the rooms and pull the furniture from those and use it all to furnish the remaining 30%. You then make sure that each person is given a guided tour, and not allowed to wander into those unfurnished areas.

That's how you can look at most modern sandbox/survival games. From the outside, they look huge; but once you're inside, you immediately begin to see the constraints and lack of content.

I got you covered, friendo.

Shit, didnt know about the tranny. All I remember is a nu-male

you'd be awesome feature fuck the species you come across I would pay for a game like that

It's also a rare unicorn of the species, a woman believing she is a man.

dude take a break from the bong for a bit

it's gonna disappoint
and on the off-chance it doesn't it's still overpriced

...

I'm considering just telling people that I don't play video games.

the mentally handicapped.
people that put their hand on a hot oven more than once.

Funny story about No Man's Sky.

they said that the universe is so big that 99.9% of planets will never get visited, and each planet is fucking massive - just walking around it would take hours and hours. From what they've shown I'm inclined to believe them. YOu wouldn't ruin anything.

They should have just implemented it anyway. Who cares if nobody accomplishes it, when it's easy to implement? Just the fact that you COULD do it would make a lot of players spend time trying to do it.

There is no story, though

I think that's the main problem of their 'vision'. They don't seem to know what is actually fun in games. Exploring CAN be fun if there's something to go along with it, and if the world is handcrafted and interesting. Exploring a boring, procedurally generated world just for the sake of exploring sounds like it'll become extremely boring after just an hour, two at most.

Imagine how fucking great this could be if they pulled their heads out of their asses, though. For example:
and so on.

Or people who've never heard of Spore

Be more specific, you just described most of Burgerstan.

...

I like how they think they are being clever.

When SPORE ruined the center of the universe for all man kind.

Not this time.

The Caliphate of Cuckistan. How fitting.

I doubt they'll actually put whatever it is on the client, unless you're referring to actually hacking into their servers in which case you can feel free to try but I'd rather risk jail over something that makes money or does great good for the world, and I'm sure anyone who is competent at that sort of thing would say the same.

wew, to have friends that autistic you must be one hell of a faggot.

I kinda hope you beat him black and blue after that

If you are going to hate something hate it for things that are actually true.

That's what everyone here mostly do, at least the old guys
When asked, you don't like them, when being talked about the new shit coming out you slowly reveal the power level to the point the other guy just says "but you said you didn't like video games" and you just reply "those aren't video games"
That was teached back in the day in banter/funposting threads, it always works to irritate the fellow guy and to stop them talking
Unless they say "what are video games for you then", that's another story but i haven't found anyone with interest/balls to do it

...

well that one was labeled 2014 and that was well before the refund policy

...

It certainly LOOKS neat, but there's a whole lot of miscommunication from the devs to really expect more than a single play space Minecraft.

20 dollars? Sure. 60? Get the fuck out.

I take it back, then
The whole Anglosphere is getting massively pozzed, what the hell

The only reason steam offers refunds is because of EU law

Why do people think minecraft all the fucking time? Its not even that, you cant craft shit except for the 3-4 items needed for spaceflight

I just want people to hate things correctly user. Hyperbole just make us look like a bunch of bleeding vagina redditors.

Everyone knows this.

They've spent the past 200 years fucking over every other Western nation, is it any surprise?

It would be great if videogames weren't such a normalfag thing these days that you're expected to play some in some regards, even if they're mobile shit.
And you end up being the "weird" guy all over again.

I basically use "minecraft" as a catch-all term for "procedurally generated survival game with lazy developers." Mostly because I'm lazy.

Nope

You are one year too late, this place is half redditors

Sounds like a lot more effort than creating procedurally generated planet with random shit and different color palettes and selling each copy for 60 bucks pre-dlc because

...

Its just that ive seen it used too many times when it comes to nogaemlie, it makes the game look less barebones than it is and it might sucker people into buying it just because they think they can dick around like in minecraft

If the game has no spoilers why don't we make our own?
Fake spoilers work great. I told a friend Rachel is the final boss in Ninja Gaiden: Black and he went through the whole game being upset at me. If we did this on a large scale we'd have the Boston Salt Party, but we plant the salt.

trips confirm Galaxy Salt Party happening

I see what you mean, I haven't played Minecraft since the alpha so I'm not particularly sure how content rich it is now.

Don't worry user, once No Man's Sky comes out we'll be using its name as the catch-all term.

...

Well everyone here anyway. Can't speak for the whole world.

I can't quit you just yet user.

That's a woman, user. She's still a faggot though. Also webm tangentially related :^)

That's mighty intolerant, user. You better shape up and cut out that wrong-think because you're on the wrong side of history.

Mostly this:
It gets the point across.

Minecraft is pretty fucking barebones though. The difference is that it's easily modded. Imagine how shitty and dead it would be without mods.

Piss off, it's not even impressive tech demo since all the loading is being done in the background and there frankly speaking isn't all that much to even load to start with due to how content poor the game is.

Ah yeah, the good old days.

I convinced my roomate that the killing school life of Danganronpa was fanfiction created by Hifumi and the photos of your classmates together was him breaking the 4th wall, still would have been a better ending than DR2's

this shit is fun, anyone have any ideas on what to do for it?

I'd fake a teaser for No Man's Sky 2, or some kind of DLC. That way everyone finds out that it's pointless, and the fact that they spent $60 on it would make them angry. Kinda like that cube game and Godus, but you're paying for it.
There's even precedent for it, with Life is Strange accidentally leaking the whole story in a text file, and Destiny players glitching into DLC areas during the alpha.

Boy I sure do love terrible optimization, poor gameplay, bugs everywhere, awful netcode, and useless updates

Keen must pay you nicely to shill

...
