I don't play computer games much, but back when I was a teen there was Elite and it was great. Now there's No Man's Sky coming out and I really want to play it

quote:

Five minutes into No Man's Sky and I have discovered a new planet, shot an innocent unicorn-lizard creature — literally the first sign of life I had seen — and angered a fleet of space police drones.

Let me back up first. I’m at a suite overlooking the Los Angeles Convention Center meeting with Sean Murray, Managing Director for No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games. No Man's Sky is a space exploration game that promises to support 18 quintillion procedurally-generated worlds (that's 18 trailed by 18 zeros), each of which are massive, colorful planets covered in various climates and procedurally-generated creatures. The ultimate "goal," if you need an incentive, is to explore your way to the very center of the universe. It’s a very ambitious project, especially given that the entirety of Hello Games is less than a dozen people.

yeah this game is totally going to live up to its own hype and it will be a fantastic, rich, rewarding experience. It will succeed where all other procedural games have failed because the sky will be pink sometimes.

yeah. this game is spore 2 basically. i want to like it. its looks interesting, but i have a feeling its gonna be a glitchy mess that doesn't deliver what it promises at all. every pseudo intellectual "critic" will love it anyway.

I put this on my Steam wishlist ages ago, and I want it to be great, but the more I look at it, the more worried I get, and the better I feel about putting it on my wishlist instead of like, actually pre-ordering it.

when regular gamers don't like it because it's an elaborate tech demo instead of an actual game, will the hipster games press label them primarily as misogynists or transphobes?

Spore 2.0 will disappoint, no doubt about it. Might be fun for a few hours but it's going to get real boring, real fast going to different randomly generated planets that are a slightly different neon color with long neck dinosaurs instead of long neck dino robots. Looks like a dope as gently caress tech demo but I can't see it working as a game you would want to sink time into.

op I tried to learn more as this sounds really interesting but that video you posted is loving terrible. the guy can't make a loving point to save his life, and the narrative is wandering all over the place. he somehow made a 10 minute video feel both rush and slow at the same time. jesus loving christ give me like a picture and 2 sentences telling me why I should give a poo poo instead of linking this terrible video, come on man, meet me halfway here with your lovely thread

The orange planet with mountains is cool but the purple ocean planet is cool too and it has whales with legs meanwhile the grey sand planet with penisbots is where you get the powerup and win the game

you know op that was a bit harsh, you did link to another lovely verge article that gave me a wholly incomplete picture of some nerd jerking himself off over his own cleverness which I read and makes it seem like this game is way too good to be true

so what's bullshit about it?
