Isn't the game's universe randomly generated and had nearly infinite worlds since launch? 🤨

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

It adds more complexity and distinction between planets, at least.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, there's still quadrillions of planets unexplored. This is just icing on the cake I guess?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"we added more shit nobody will ever see!"

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well that's good, I was just getting close to running out of the old planets.

Kind of wild they keep going.

[–] barkingspiders@infosec.pub 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

if all it takes to keep a developer improving their game is to hype it to the moon and then turn it into a meme when it releases then maybe we should do that more often /s

forreal forreal though these game devs are the shit and I'm grateful for all the work they keep putting into this

[–] alphabethunter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

All it takes is people with a vision.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And a willingness to lie out your ass and fraudulently market for years

I thought we Internet rabble had decreed "no mans sky is good now". Am i behind the times? Do i need go find my pitchfork?

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm in the minority that doesn't support fraud 🤷‍♂️ I don't care how much time and effort they put into the game after stealing millions of dollars

[–] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I respect that.

Can anyone recommend a decent space sim? I’ve talked myself in and out of buying No Man’s Sky a dozen times, and all this shade will probably remove it from my wishlist.

[–] Saganaki@lemmy.one 3 points 1 day ago

Not really a sim, but def a fan of space games. Void Crew has been great.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

Depending on what you want, Freespace 2 and all its mods/updates are still excellent. Wing Commander Saga is a standalone game based on it of remarkable quality.

Honestly I think it is time they put NMS to bed and focus on their upcoming title, LNF.

They have added so much over the years, and I understand as their first project they are probably incredibly attached to it, but lately it has been feeling like diminishing returns on updates.

What good are a bunch of new planets gonna do when they still all basically look and interact the same as every other planet?

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They have added new planet types and civilisations. Indont play the game but its being heavily praised all day that theybhave greatly expanded with gas giants, full water planets and lost/failed civilisations. Sounds fairly impactful.

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I do play the game and I can say from experience it isn't.
