Title: No Man's Sky
Post by: sleestak on August 10, 2016, 04:05:24 PM
Any of you guys playing this?  Fucking cool as shit and perfect for an old dork that can't even come close to competing in your average FPS.

Totally tripped out at every level but pretty fun in a way I've not experience playing a game.  I've read reviews that call it boring but I think it's just a bit cerebral for the average gamer.

Yes!  Asked for this and got for my birthday last night, been enjoying the reviews, seems like something I would like.

Stuff that will perplex you but not a spoiler... you won't get an "atlaspass" early in the game and that's by design. 

It will make sense when you play.

Got aboot 20hrs into this, starting to get repetitive already, wasn't even gonna p/u this game, not sold on the graphics,
but after righteous gameplay w/Witcher/Fallout there's fuckall out there I'm interested in. (eagerly awaiting Mafia III however).

I find the inventory structure complete fucking horshit, I found a new ship (don't spend ur million$$ on ships btw, you can find
and fix them on the planets for zero $$$)...easy upgrades for the MUCH needed inventory space.

...but since my gameplay - I'll file this under "get bonged-out--stoned and zen explore the worlds" to kill some time.
Music sounds pretty cool, woulda loved more moog/heavy synth-analogue/Hawkwind vibes though. I mean it's fucking space!!

So far - 5/graviton balls outta 10 on this puppy.

I don't play new video games a lot and this has sucked me in multiple nights for multople hours. Hell I just got lost in a cave for the last hour and enjoyed it. Found some weird metals and shit.

Perry, you play yet?
