Heres the faq

The game wont ever be the fantasy you secretly want it to be. Get high, go around and see proc gen planets and animals and plants. Build your base however you want. The nms sky peeps on here seem incredibly weird sometimes because it seems to me like you are clinging to some delusional poo poo that you understand to some degree is delusional but you refuse to let go.

With weed being legal now in Canada come September I'm going to take advantage of free build mode to chill and explore.

I love the possibility to keep around old ships and the fact you have to repair your scavenged ships to unlock the extra slots, but holy poo poo the costs in materials.

I am not a fan of the fact that now the game just spawns multi tools which cost a couple of millions.

I mean you can get modules that give 5000% profit on discoveries. Pretty easy to visit a couple of planets and have that much money.

Found a planet that was incandescent. Really enjoying this game now compared to when I last played it. I think a big part of it is the goals and the better planet generation.

The VR inventory interface sounds really good. You can drag and drop from your wrist with holograms to move things around. Sounds way better than the current mouse based system, especially for VR.

Lmao its obvious that guy has never tried VR because while its implementation isnt perfect yet the one thing undeniable about it is how insane it is and everyone whos actually experienced REAL vr would agree it isnt a gimmick. Like theres issues with VR but what that poster keeps bringing up is exactly what people who havent actually tried it say.
That being said i dont have high expectations for this games implementation, especially with only having a psvr. The game can barely run on a ps4 already and they will have to give it a significant fidelity hit to get it non nausea inducing. On top of that the psvr isnt very high res to begin with, but maybe theyll make it work.

I've owned a Vive and now a Rift and yeah, PC VR is the real deal. But things like the cord get in the way and lower resolution. Once those things are gone I could see myself spending a lot of time in a game like NMS exploring things.

This game is really good and I enjoy the hell out of it, except for when I actually play it. When I actually sit down to play I get bored within minutes and frustrated with myself because I can see fun right there on the screen, I just can't reach it.

It's a slow build up to where it isn't as much of a grind, which is why I prefer free build mode. VR should add a lot to the experience and interaction within the game. At least I hope it does.

For those interested, there is some new 65dos music. New album coming this fall and also new music monthly if you subscribe on bandcamp from various projects they've been doing over the last couple of years.

Ideally I’d like a mix of creative mode, but still have the option of danger/sentinels in it.

I want all the recipes and blueprints off the start and I just need to mine for the stuff.

I'm definitely going to be playing in creative mode when I do VR though.

Every time I open a storage container and see the arbitrary 5 slots instead of anything symmetrical like 9 or even 12, I feel a little more dead inside. Giant cube container. Game where inventories are clearly arranged in grids. 5 slots in the container...

Yeah, there should be multiple sizes of storage and that largest one should have tons of slots and stacking of thousands of items.

Wishful thinking wishlist of the Hello Games product No Man's Sky:

1. Black Space sometimes.
2. Ability to capture animals to pen them in and what not.
3. Star systems with actual orbital physics.
4. Better Space Combat for Spacing.
5. Minigames inside stations.
6. Black Space sometimes.


That is all.

I want darker nights and caves. Also ray/pathtracing lighting.

the rift s just came out today, but i want to try it first because even Palmer Luckey, the dude who started it, said that he can't even use it comfortable because of it's non-adjustable IPD.

I've got a big ol' head, so i'm a little worried.

People with IPD of 170 have said it was fine for them.

I'm at 64mm so basically the middle of the sweet spot, so I'm not worried about it personally. I'm not sure he even tried the thing, he was just going off the raw numbers and past experience.

Of course they changed my arrival date from today, with tracking number, to Friday now, so I have to wait.

There is a limit to the distance you can perceive in VR, beyond a certain point there's less parallax than the distance between pixels so there's no depth effect and your eyes focus to infinity. Stations in space will probably be well beyond that point so it might not even look weird.

I think what I'm most looking forward to in VR is landing on a freighter, especially the wide battleship ones. Least, the way your ship spins around on every landing pad :barf:

Your brain expects that sort of movement and accepts it as long as you are sitting down I find. It's why you can fly in a plane in VR and be fine. But start spinning around like that standing and you will get sick.

The sense of scale is really going to make exploration more enjoyable. The size of creatures, plants, planets, and caves will really add to the enjoyment of the game in VR.

That station or whatever it was they flew through seems new. Had a portal in it as well. Maybe it's a new capital ship you can get?

Really hyped for the VR update. I've been wanting it since the game first was announced. Can't believe it's actually happening.

I'm OK with stack increase for mined materials. The other stuff you generally just sell off anyway. I end up with 10 slots of carbon or other materials which annoys me. This update removes that problem.

Now I need to figure out why steam vr keeps freezing on me when I use my rift-s. Didn't happen with my rift. Looking forward to enjoying exploration and scale of the planets.
