They don't. They use an expletive filter but I doubt gay will be in there considering the whole Xbox thing. I don't know about punctuation though, so it might have to be PLANET GAY SO WHAT

I was super excited for this game when I saw the first video. Shooting animals? Cool. Exploring planets? Neat. Naming things after genitalia? Fun! Taking off into space? Awesome! Space Battles? Double Awesome!

Then I found out that there's no building. Huh, I thought that was the main reason people played games like this. Then they mentioned that there was no multiplayer. gently caress, why? Then I found out that each planet reverts back to how it was after you leave. gently caress you.

I thought the game was about exploring and every once in a long long while bumping into evidence that another player was there, and also being able to leave your own mark. If the only mark I can leave is being one of the 100% of people who name everything "Dickbutt" then what the gently caress. I want to carve a massive penis obelisk out of the biggest stone I can find, so that years down the road some child and his mother will stumble across this and she will beat him senseless for having seen genitals.

I'll keep an eye on the game, if it ever goes on sale for $20 then I'll absolutely buy it for nights when I'm too drunk or stoned to play something competitive. Maybe if the consensus is that the game is absolutely amazing I'll shell out the $60, but I can't imagine that happening.

you have some strange ideas man

you have eighteen billion billion earth sized planets to explore and you want to revisit one spot on one of them? you feel like you should be able to make a mark, on all that? you think a child will luck into even being on the same planet as your rock penis let alone the same patch of land, despite the odds of them spontaneously teleporting through quantum effects into your bathroom would be higher?

this game seems heavily inspired by elite and so I assume the primary form of combat is failing to rotate your ship correctly when you're trying to dock with a rotating space station and exploding into fiery wreckage

I have it on good authority that once you get to the galactic core your body gets transformed by alien technology into a gigantic Planet Eater Spaceworm as big as a sun and every time you eat a planet you grow. if you can wrap another player in your hellish spaceworm plasma tube they explode and if they're playing in vr their view spins so rapidly they puke all over their couch. at the upper right of the screen is a counter reading "trillions of life forms massacred" and every time you massacre another trillion your spaceworm does the macarena

As far as I know there is multiplayer, and it would evolve as time progresses. Marks you make on the planet you discover and your starting planet, I thought, remained there. There's a video of them discussing possibly finding and exploring another player's "base". Every undiscovered planet is a seed, and when discovered it becomes the world you see and you can make marks that remain though it's improbable anyone else will run across them.

Every player has a guide to the center of the galaxy, in a universe with an unknown number of galaxies. It would only make sense that you could travel to other galaxies at that point. There is no end game.

You can upload planet coordinates to the Atlas which will allow friends to travel there if they are in the same galaxy, indicating to me that the center is your commerce hub, where people move in between galaxies. So player/player interaction is possible.

Unless everything I've seen and read is a lie, even wikipedia.

i expect this game will be about as interesting as those Mandelbrot set infinite zoom fractals. amusing for 10-20min then fairly repetitive. "oh wow, another weird squiggly shape that no human has ever seen before, how fascinating" :rolleyes:

alright goons, let me explain to you how what's-his-name explained how the game works (while drunk as gently caress :cheers:)

based on a video that ign (aka sean murray's dick sucker) posted, :nms: is a game where in order to progress to the center of the gay-laxy (which is pretty loving BIG :btroll:) you must upgrade your ship. In order to upgrade your ship, you have to get certain resources. In order to get these very specific resources, you must locate these resources on generated planets that may or may not contain them, or complete quests for aliens which will require you to understand the alien's language which requires quests of learning the specific language which can be acquired via various structures on planets. you can also break into various buildings and steal resources (which may be part of said quest) or steal it via being a space pirate or whatever. It's not really dependent on getting it minecraft-style. maybe if you suck a couple alien dicks you might be able to progress, though he hasn't said.

you get to name animals in which other players may or may not see. It no doubt depends on the number of players that enter the game. multiplayer is limited to the boundaries that dark souls/bloodborne and journey's style of multiplayer has, which really isn't multiplayer. generating animal names and instances of other players appearing but not interacting with is pretty easy to do on servers compared to stuff like MMOs.

basically this is a procedurally generated advanced sporecraft game with some generated creatures (which are really there for appearance/danger/personal ego for naming them peniscockdongs) in the artistic style of famous science fiction book cover artist Chris Foss. those robot motherfuckers are there just to make things hard.

apparently planets become more complex as you progress and approach the center of galaxy(universe? too lazy to do the math but I've heard both) where you reach a planet rendered as a goatse sphere only to discover that the core of the planet contains a dick pic that sean murray sent to his only love of his life as a teenager which he continues to obsess about to this day.


basically you need to be at the least slightly austistic, or stoned on marijuana in order to enjoy this game

I need space crystals to get my ship moving to warp speed. But I'll need a tractor axe to dig for the crystals. But I'll need to learn how to speak Meepzorp to communicate with an alien to find a diamandium ore deposit to build the tractor axe. But I must locate the codex to learn the language. And I'll need to level up my language skills first.

Each procedurally generated pink planet has a 1% chance of having a codex on it. Darn, this the 36th planet I've flown to in this system -- another blue one.
