Definitely will be picking this up after all the goodwill they built with NMS.

Just gotta wait 5+ years for the initial release to be playable. And it will be on sale by then!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

I can't wait for the "something to do" update

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Well… maybe after half a year of extra time 😆

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I totally agree! I'm looking forward to it!

They've done a really good job with NMS post-launch and I hope they'll be able handle the launch of this better, but I think I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

From what I read it was was mostly Sony pushing for an early launch. Maybe that won't happen this time :)

Sounds like it could potentially be a great game to play with friends. I just hope there's actually something to DO. Bosses to fight, things to craft, a goal to reach.

I would love the Valheim/Minecraft aproach, not just a fancy walking-game.

I like how the little splash screen/logo in the article is extremely similar to the ominous geometric shape logo NMS has. They really want you to know this is coming from the same people lol

It sounds like they turned all those AI generated "80s Dark Fantasy Minecraft" posts into a legit game

procedurally generated open world that is apparently Earth-like in both geography and scale

which I am going to characterise as Fable meets Microsoft Flight Simulator

i just weed a little

considering the games studio, the world is going to be dead and empty, borning+tedious to explore beyond an initial "wow so purdy" and the gameplay loop is going to be designed by someone who has no idea what fun is. hello games fundamentally has no idea how to design a good game, all the updates in the world can't fix that. NMS is about as complex as candy crush, except the grind isn't fun.

It's sad because it could have been such a great game.

Given this we can assume their third game will be called "___ ___ NO"

Hmmmm.... a very tempting pre-order 🤔

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I didn’t hate NMS when it came out, I bought it release day but I didn’t watch all the pre release stuff and thought it was expensive for what it was.

Definitely was great to see the work they put in over the years on that, they’ve got my trust at least (but I’m still not pre ordering!)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah they made a really great game in the end. I bought it a couple years after release and loved it. I will be drooling over this one too but will be waiting for post release reviews.
