Easy to find materials. Being able to just grow stuff easily and make money easily...makes the game easier. It gives you the money to buy better ships and multi tools. It means you can travel further, faster. Doesn't that remove some of that isolation?
Yeah, because before you didn't know if a system was occupied until you entered it...? There is no difference.
This is objectively not true. It cost fuel to call a ship. Fuel you can use to walk around the planet. I tested this out last year. You can travel quite some distance and back on 400 fuel.
Unless you use those portals or give your position to other people, how does it make everything feel small?
I'm one of your subscribers. I loved the video where you took a stroll around your planet. What you loved then, it's still there.
It was my favourite game, up there with TLOU. I loved the emptiness, the 'not knowing' and the simplicity of moving through the galaxy, but then they added things like having to find materials to open stuff, having to feed growing trays for the farm, filled the galaxy with lots of information to make sure we could never feel alone again, and turned the dog fights into nothing more than an arcade game with busy work and unnecessary visuals. So I stepped out

Glad I waited for the Xbox One version. Looking forward to playing it.
how do we know 16?4 players? Well, we know it's going to be 16, so it's bound to be more.
It requires more bandwidth and processing to handle 4 detailed characters doing more than floating around as light. So i can easily see them making some Co-op mode at 4 players.Right now each solar system instance is capped at 16 players at a time.
Whether that changes or not is unknown.

Thanks to the update, up to 16 players can now exist together in the same space. Fellow pilots will appear as floating blue orbs moving about the terrain, and proximity-based voice chat will allow players to plan their next jump together. That's pretty much it, but Hello Games calls it "an important first step into the world of synchronous co-op in No Man's Sky."
Different focus, yes. But they aren't orders of magnitude different.
How is NMS these days? I didn't feel compelled to buy it in 2016 but I know it has been updated. Worth a playthrough now?
might as well wait for the update, which is supposed to be big. Its good now though, but i expect they are treating this more like a re-launch.How is NMS these days? I didn't feel compelled to buy it in 2016 but I know it has been updated. Worth a playthrough now?
2000 hours? Horrible game, huh?After over 2000 hours of playing this game and the last abysmal update, this game is dead to me. Hello Games sold out. It's a triumph for the moaners and weak supporters.
Some random speculation.
4 dots = 4 player?
Someone said there was an ambient mode hidden in the games code? Floating orbs that kind of look like the orbs on the player models on the boxart?
Wonder if they are gonna pull an 'out now' at E3 MS press conference, and how that relates with the patch. You would think they might want to get the patch out earlier to test better the bugs for a proper console launch.
You can get more than 16 animals running around on screen at a time, so 16 players shouldn't be a problem. And for all that's happened over the last few years, it's not a good idea to make a very specific statement of 16 palyer coop and then not back that up. Especially when it was originally only supposed to be a few people.It requires more bandwidth and processing to handle 4 detailed characters doing more than floating around as light. So i can easily see them making some Co-op mode at 4 players.
Wait and see what the next update is like .
I dislike that they're putting mulitplayer in but I'm sure there will be other updates.
So Elite is the game for you, not for me. I bought Elite after hearing so much praise about it, and how it was a much better game than No Man's Sky, but I was supremely turned off by just about everything the game had to offer. I found it overly complex for the sake of being overly complex, and way too simmy than the more relaxed nature of No Man's Sky and it's take on space exploration. Wandering around on planets, finding new creatures and materials and lore and beautiful vistas is exactly what I, personally, wanted from a space exploration game. The art style is also very appealing to me, and I spent way too much time just taking screenshots of all of the things I found. When they added a photo mode in one of the updates, that was icing on the cake. Flying different ships is cool, but Elite just wasn't for me. I wouldn't say it's better or worse than NMS and vice versa, just that NMS tickled the right buttons for me in comparison. I can totally get why someone would be in love with Elite and NMS, and for very different reasons. Not every game is going to be for everybody. Gamers need to understand that, and learn to live with it. There are a ton of games that people adore that just don't interest me (like Overwatch, or Fortnite; fun games, addicting games, but not for me; although I did play Fortnite for a few weeks before becoming disinterested). I understand that those games aren't for me, and just move on to the stuff that is.
I think Elite and No Man's Sky are two vastly different games, with some similarities by virtue of them being in a similar blanket genre (Space Exploration). It's the little bits and pieces that really set them apart from one another, and what fans of both dig. Some people are able to enjoy both games, some one game over the other. Nothing wrong with that, I think.
This core of people you refer to are a minority and dont represent all of them. I enjoyed the game from the start and enjoyed the updates. Many of the most prolific YT guys that are obsessed with the game enjoyed the updates. So unofrtunatley for you, HG needs to ensure the continued success of their game by satisfying the most amount of people.
Folks can like NMS! For me, Elite scratched the space itch, not NMS.
Of course nothing wrong with that! Both can coexist. Glad you liked NMS, I didn't hate it, but Elite clicked with me right away (even though its stupidly complicated in some aspects).
I couldn't take my warp drive breaking after the third time in a row after a black hole jump. Drove me insane.
I don't care bout those fuckers. I want mah planets with RANGS!!!!!!
It's been nearly TWO years
I need to get back into this game, haven't played it since before Atlas Rising.
I'm not sure where Hello Games is headed with the development of the game though. The last few updates plus the original game seem to suggest a big focus on surface survival gameplay. The original game felt like The Long Dark with space ships, and updates added elements from Minecraft and other survival games like base building, while probably not focusing quite as much on space, economy, and dog fighting. That stuff seemingly has been improved, but probably won't ever be anywhere near what's in Elite, and that's partially intentional, as NMS is supposed to be the arcade game to Elite's simulator.
I guess what I originally wanted out of NMS was something like a more casual version of Frontier Elite II with more developed surface gameplay. NMS basically is that now, but maybe I just didn't sense enough Elite in the game. Maybe I'm still disappointed that planets don't revolve, orbit, or otherwise act like planetary systems (which for me would just enhance the sense of immersion). Maybe I wanted the planet surfaces themselves to feel less random in terms of how content is spread out on them, but again, I haven't played since before the last major update. What I ultimately want might be a middle ground somewhere between Elite and NMS.
Seriously, I got bored wandering around a shitty planet after an hourWow you played it for 2000 hours and you didn't like it?
I played for maybe 5 hrs and said it's not for me, I knew it was gonna be not great but I thought maybe my wife would like it. Coop could make me consider getting it again
Probably some time next month. Hopefully.

Damn straight. and its awesome.
If you mainly care about space ships, dog fighting, trading, or other economy gameplay, play Elite.
