Yeah we were fed this line with Elite Dangerous as well and the game is BORING AS FUCK. There have to be adequate SYSTEMS in PLACE to ALLOW that, which NMS seems completely lacking.
E:D is a good call - it gets similar complaints, which I find completely unwarranted. If you find it BORING AS FUCK that`s okay, but you`re probably playing the wrong game.
As for the lack of SYSTEMS, well, that comment could be on point back in 2014 - I was also similarly skeptical back then. However in the last year they have shown a FUCKTON OF SYSTEMS relating to trade-exploration-survival-aliens-combat-so on and ignoring that is just lame.
These systems might be messed up and flawed and the game might suck, but at this moment in time you do not know this. However again - if you`re looking for different experience, a la Mass Effect, it`s just not a game for you. Move on, save energy, hate Trump

Urban Dictionary says that Guffin means to choke on a penis so, to be fair, that isn't something I really need. I need that even less than an item that only serves to drive the plot forward ... whatever that may be called.
But hey, it's much easier to pretend doubters are idiots who need their hands held and that I'm clever in comparison, even if I do confuse MacGuffins and oral sex. Who hasn't?
Is it as easy as carefully scanning a post to find something completely unrelated to the topic, but what you can use to show how clever`n edgy you are in comparison? If so, 5/5 buddy - even if you`re shooting blanks (sometimes I just get bored of cliched syntax)
Shame you have nothing to say about the game, but that`s a bit higher hanging fruit, so it`s fully understandable. And please, spare me the "doubters" high horseplay - it`s just a good ole hatewagon here, set off by codewords indie/SONY/hype/procgen and so on. True doubters would respect the facts and kept an open mind until the release, not engage in "There Can Be Only One! (Gameplay Style)" circlejerk. |

Said it was a great game if you just want to have a few beers and fly/walk around looking at stuff but there isn't really anything to do per se, at least nothing that means anything. Which is what I thought it'd be.
Bias confirmation is a powerful trip.
It`s quite sad to see that majority (at least judging by comments here) of once-leading in innovation PC gaming community are locked in a baseless hate exercise, which stands against all the previous achievements. Funny times, huh.
But, well, whatever. To those who are still on the fence and/or confused by the naysaying barrage, let`s dispel few of the more thirsty/dumbass claims:
- there is actually a point/ending to a game - if you really need this sort of Guffin and don`t just enjoy roleplaying/creating your own stories in an infinite sandbox, which to me is the major selling point here. The goal is to reach the center of the universe. What`s there? Who knows, and, why should we know? I mean, would you like to know the ending to a game you`re just about to play?
-comparisons to "minecrafts" are ridiculous: this is an actual game with bazillion gameplay systems, Minecraft has a "game" mode but is more of a digital Lego where you just build stuff. Here you need to do things in order to survive and go further: just like in any normal game.
-this is mainly single player OFFLINE game. Online component is just charting the galaxy and possibility of meeting other players. It`s also completely OPTIONAL.
-things you won`t find in here: Miranda`s ass and million-polygon Z-tesselated LMFASSAO+ spaceship, corridors/invisible walls, hand-holding "tell me a story Mommy" plot, autopilot "no need to think, you`ll progress anyway" gameplay. Sorry! There`s plenty of other titles that do that sort of thing though. |

It'd blow my mind if Musk could deliver some of this mind-blowing tech at prices most normal mortals could afford.
I thought that was pare of the "plan"? Introduce the tech in premium models in order to fund bringing it to more economical choices to come. I'd say he's well on the road towards achieving that.
I`ll believe that when his operation stops teetering on edge of bankruptcy and becomes a healthy business.
And oh, admitting that the Libertarian Code is a pile of BS and that he would be nowhere without government grants would be nice too |

PR people...where`s Bill Hicks when you need him? Though I suppose writers are also responsible for this mess.
It`s wrong on multiple levels: "X Lives Matter" became mostly a snarky joke for people who oppose BLM, so really a poor choice. But even if it`s supposed to be a deep and thoughtful allegory of modern problems it is anything but - just a typical PR BS conjured in between fat coke lines.
And digging his hole even deeper by pretending it`s a "coincidence" is just laughable. Unless they think such controversy is actually good marketing... |

Gfx very basic. New studio, release date in few months, only 2 campaigns - red flags aplenty, looks more of a quick cash in with upcoming zillion DLCs than a serious W40K game.
Hopefully I`m wrong, Battlefleet was pretty cool... |

Folks will be tuning in to the Olympics to simply believe it's actually happening in Rio. It's like slowing down at an accident to have a look.
Really? Somehow they managed to get through World Cup without one.
It`s true that Olympics etc are usually an unwanted pox promoted only by politicians and people standing to make big bucks out of it, but that Brasil-hate is just load of BS, especially coming from `Muricans.

Yes, it`s a bit of a dick move on the devs part, but it`s also pretty common. There`s heaps of games on GOG and Humble that don`t even get updated downloads once devs get on Steam. Quite sad really.
The game itself however is incredibly exciting and fresh. Finally somebody trying something new re: controls, combat & physics. Hopefully they will finish it some day since it`s a very ambitious undertaking.

It really cracks me up that the game which is basically Elite/Pirates! of this generation - you know, titles that helped defined true PC gaming - is one of the most vilified.
These games also had no McGuffin waiting at the end - and yet back then people knew how to appreciate this kind of gameplay. Now, comedy experts like Ozomodan/Rhett/... manage to write it off based on words "procedural generation" and because some guy on Reddit said so. Meanwhile others report that "it`s possible to get to the Galaxy center in 30 hrs!" Man, do you really need to complete a game that hard?
Well, each to its own, I guess. Lol. The good news - for me, and others - are that 3 games out of the top 5 here are procedurally generated. One, Rimworld is already a masterpiece, NMS has a great chance to also be described as such. Behold, the procgen Apocalypse! |

Amazing news. PSP still is an emulator paradise and Vita is of course much more powerful, so more systems will hopefully run in 1:1 quality.
Though I still think PSP Lite is just perfect, size-wise. |

Yeah for pre-chaser's, that might be the only sales No Man's Sky gets. Cutter wrote on Jul 31, 2016, 12:49:
Really? No Man's Florp is #1?
I`m really looking forward to the mental gymnastics the Boo Camp will have to go through to produce some excuses when this game refuses to flop (something that looks more and more likely every day).
What`s it gonna be lads? Gimme a taste already |

It will be most likely one of the better AAA releases this year, but still... Original DE was released 15 years ago and had a groundbreaking design where you controlled the story through gameplay, had freedom of approach, etc. And all you get after all this time is slightly dumbed down (no leaning)/sexed up (takedowns) version of the original.
