I love space games it's been so long since I've been excited for 11 that
2:02
specifically caters to an aspect often discarded and ignored the love of
2:08
exploration no man's sky has its focus there instead of just pure combat I was
2:15
so looking forward to exploring the Stars meeting new life categorizing them
2:21
in discovering interesting things along my journey to boldly go where no Joe has
2:27
gone before their little guy got some iron for you
2:32
oh yeah yeah you're happy now yeah and to be perfectly honest you can do that
2:45
and it doesn't well at first
2:48
in fact when we began i was impressed
2:51
Oh fucking time I discovered it it's in the sorry David maybe it's a horny t-rex
3:05
has the horny dear X well the game doesn't have the most detailed graphics
3:10
or textures the color palette and unique fauna of the planets excited me the
3:16
bright colors the stylized look it was all the joy to behold turn my god I'm
3:24
prison
3:26
it's a farm ok that's the first time I've seen a storm that's cool
3:31
it is 19 degrees Celsius during the first eight to ten hours it was like a
3:36
childhood dream come true
3:38
I may have gotten really lucky with my starting good planet it had interesting
3:43
creatures massive k's beautiful locations lots of useful resources and I
3:50
dubbed it my first planet Sigourney Weaver
3:55
and endeavour to discover that all she had to offer with the games discovery
4:09
and catalog system my first taste of danger was encountering an aggressive
4:14
species they look like crabs which we dub space herpes fuck up letting I my
4:30
god I was so proud to have discovered it and at the same time terrified of
4:37
fighting those creepy crawlies a bridge
4:50
ya lookin at yo
4:55
oh shit I did do that he started it
5:00
he fucking started if anyone else in the galaxy ever wanted to see space herpes
5:06
they have to visit Sigourney Weaver I thought after a while I wanted other Joe
5:11
to share in this awesome experience we looked up and saw another planet in the
5:17
distance and we wanted to go there right there there's a plan right there when
5:23
you want to go to uni mind that one water on there and you can we really do
5:33
that this is going to be hit Shane Joe I have never seen a game that's like you
5:40
see let's go there if we can go there I'm gonna flip the fuck out
5:46
so are you doing about I'm gonna flip out so we took a break
5:51
cataloging everything fixed up the ship which was the first real objective
5:56
that's presented two players and Joe blasted off it was one of the coolest
6:01
experiences i've had this year to realize holy shit we can actually go
6:07
there
6:10
yeah
6:13
yeah if we can actually go to this planet
6:19
I'm gonna bring all i got is what ya 100 shit and the distance itself felt real
6:31
somehow we used our boosters and then realized that wasn't enough so we use
6:36
pole speed ludicrous speed job when you pause driving right into the fuck yeah
6:54
yeah
7:00
what the hell was that when we got there Joe discovered a haunting planet and
7:09
evil-looking planet and the first thing in countered was this house that
7:14
appeared to be broken in with this ominous sports growing inside just nasty
7:20
the greatest thing oh my god something happened here Joe so great get your
7:25
weapon out what the fuck is that there's eggs job this is fuck this is alien do
7:41
it
7:41
what happened here we thought our minds raced with ideas in the game surely this
7:47
is a storyline that will pick up as we journey closer to the center and
7:52
eventually reveal these nasty spore blob creatures that would become our enemies
7:57
in the game and we would we would desperately run and hide and fight for
8:02
survival should have left it alone should have left it alone but no none of
8:11
that would come to be in fact it all pretty much falls apart after this one
8:17
good experience like a castle made of cards upon closer inspection almost
8:24
immediately after we finished our first visit to a space station we started to
8:29
know the game start limitations
8:32
I feared from the leadership did I just walk in a circle . so that's liquidator
8:40
who is this
8:45
oh my god what the fuck the same guy
8:54
it's breaking even here you fucking continuance stars you could fuck with
8:59
two different ships floating ok he's taking off i'll bet you these are all
9:04
fucking liquidated this fucking liquidator yeah a second date or
9:09
liquidator amrut ru liquid dinner and told you you liquidated and liquidated
9:17
and we gotta party everybody liquidator Andrew for liquidator Andrews the
9:23
countless frustrating design choices the overly repetitive nature of the actual
9:29
core of the game
9:36
yeah
9:40
everybody
9:44
as wide as an ocean but has the depth of a bottle and all you have to do is look
9:55
at the comprehensive list on reddit with the features promised and hyped on
10:00
exactly what we were going to get to realize why it feels so empty and half
10:05
finished day has turned the night has turned today yeah well and days turned
10:09
out because the planet is actually rotating on its axis
10:12
that's the thing that's really unique about this game and that's just because
10:16
we're orbiting around the Sun with the real son
10:20
so that's kind of cool it's you know normally we were being a level design by
10:23
artists some diversity like traveling to sand planets having been removed just
10:28
mysteriously gone as they were in the game up to a few months ago these alloys
10:34
is near the solar system sun so its surface is quite toasty stubborn
10:39
life-forms have learned to survive here with you won't unless you've crafted
10:43
enough tech upgrades to be out the sauce 78 is asking
10:47
will there be planets composed completely from same look at the
10:51
employment or planets completely composed of liquid like water world's
10:54
yes is the answer short
10:59
yes ok the tedious gathering of resources that we were able to push
11:05
through for the goal of getting a new badass ship
11:09
well unfortunately this is ruined when you realize that all the ships in the
11:13
game are identical instead of unique classes that have different playstyles
11:18
as we were promised anything that number of variations of that ship which is a
11:23
cool thing for players each one of them is positive on each one of them all
11:27
handle slightly differently have a ship it feels a little bit like it's your own
11:33
know this is a quarterback ship so just like that guy I was talking to that will
11:39
be bought from one of his race and their scientific race so this ship is kind of
11:44
more
11:45
scientific see any crazy cannons or or letters exactly and so this is more for
11:52
somebody who would be an explorer naming ships and you like ships are actually it
12:01
discovery just like everything else and and you can name your discovery see the
12:08
ship type and then everyone who has that ship would have that name that god no
12:16
all ships are exactly the same except for inventory slots and cosmetics the
12:21
most important tool for exploring and traveling this game has been gutted when
12:28
just four months ago Shawn was saying otherwise why you will see trade ships
12:35
kind of exiting the space station often going two freighters doctorate flavors
12:41
picking up some resources from them bearing the goods into the space station
12:45
you'll see them flying all the way down to the planet gathering resources from
12:49
trade posts sharing resources back up to the space station or backup two
12:54
freighters you get to kind of sit there and watch the kind of trade economy just
12:59
in motion
13:00
we were supposed to be able to land on asteroids destroy space stations and
13:04
engage with large sized fleets see freighters actually move instead of just
13:09
sit around like I wish I can scan these ships and learn about these ships but
13:14
you can't look I just scanned it did nothing
13:17
so I don't know who they are what faction their part of should i attack
13:20
them what
13:21
the weapons they have and I can make an educated decision on anything but the
13:26
biggest one and the one that in my opinion hurts the game the most is the
13:30
lack of a promised faction system remember those this a giant sandbox that
13:36
were making a universe side sandbox is full of choices
13:44
like here where the boundary between two warring factions oh my god
13:49
bullshit i could join in I could take some of those but no you get bullshit
13:54
where the fuck is this in the game yeah those were supposed to fight each other
14:00
in the game
14:01
yeah not their Lordships don't jump in and and fight each other and you can't
14:06
join a faction and do work for them as promised you really cannot have a
14:12
purpose that is what this game sorely needs of a jobs board of some sort a
14:19
temporary purpose in between the tedious and overly boring resource gathering and
14:25
crafting instead we never even see these factions interact how we never even see
14:31
these lazy assholes outside of their one specific placement inside buildings
14:37
why don't they ever move what why are they walking around exploring do
14:42
something instead of sitting on your fucking ass all the time and different
14:47
races different attributes so summer scientific not summer kind of combative
14:53
right and depending on how I'm playing a month one might want to kind of make an
14:57
allegiance or one or all my god no bullshit for instance i might be a
15:02
traitor and so our favor a trace not in the fucking in this bullshit red faction
15:09
affiliations and battles have been completely ripped out her over
15:13
simplified from the game and this is something that we were all shown and
15:18
sold on not made up hype that got out of control
15:22
no it's gone now let me say this i never believed that this would be a
15:27
multiplayer game but despite my belief in my impression that it wasn't gonna be
15:32
one sean murray continue to end and elude that it in fact was will you be
15:38
able to play with your friends
15:39
yeah bullshit is there a competitive element to this game yeah if you
15:43
bullshit
15:44
can you grief other players food
15:48
wait need to know when you look like this there's somebody else to you know
15:52
see you can you run into other people other players on the game
15:56
yes but if the value that are incredibly rare usually dies the building
16:00
Wow where the fuck is this game
16:04
no man's sky is more like no man's lie if you had a great standing with that
16:10
alien to saw could would he just unlock this for you and let you in
16:14
well normally what you would do is you would happen that we also yes you can
16:19
have a really good standing with the dramatic season they will just give you
16:22
put got the bug
16:25
oh my god that traders been attack in on what the foot he taking off from just an
16:31
area on the planet that never fucking happens this is alien colonial Marines
16:37
level of misleading there's Walker sentinels just getting up
16:43
no that never happens what the fuck
16:47
oh my god
16:49
that's what is this a fucking portal is that a fucking mortal that's not in the
16:53
game
16:54
what the fuck is this what building is this i want to play this build the
16:58
low-flying yield like sky monsters that's what i thought was in the game
17:04
it's not what the shit
17:08
Wow worst of all is what awaits players at the center of the galaxy if you don't
17:17
know skip ahead like two minutes for the final verdict ok but but this is so
17:22
shockingly insulting and it really puts the final nail in the coffin for me and
17:27
proves my point that i have to talk about it
17:30
so we've been hyped up on this objective this one goal in the game is one little
17:36
secret over there in the distance is the center of the galaxy that's what we're
17:45
all trying to get to when it reaches interview universe and cross the event
17:50
horizon the game just goes black right like The Sopranos because that would be
17:54
scientific and artistic I'm glad he would just be happy with us because we
18:03
said like there's something amazing when you get this Center this is enter the
18:08
universe and I i love the idea of you know it just it just faded to black like
18:16
a black middle finger comes up on the screen and now since everything cool has
18:22
been removed this was supposed to be the big payoff for the players who stopped
18:26
with the game and did would asked and what does it amount to just about the
18:33
most insulting letdown of all time when you reach the center of the universe
18:38
there is the thing this is footage from rabid retrospect games thank you to him
18:46
please go sub to his channel because after seeing this I wouldn't be able to
18:50
do this if you look there there's the center of the galaxy instead of actually
18:55
going to it and seeing what's there
18:57
the game decides instead to pull out
19:01
this isn't this is the end of the game this is the center of the galaxy mystery
19:07
you never even actually get to go to the center of the galaxy you just press the
19:13
button to go to the center and it pulls out and it plays this is the greatest
19:20
fucking game you've ever fucking play know this
19:31
and after seeing this I will not even fucking bother
19:47
we were fucking lied to that's all there is to it
19:53
they shove this shit out way too early when it wasn't fucking ready and what we
20:00
get is an average gathering and survival game that could have been so much more
20:07
that has burst of really cool exploration but ultimately is a huge
20:13
exercise in frustration and broken promises
20:18
that's what no man's sky is
20:32
and you get anything for doing it all over again you think well maybe you have
20:36
to go to the second or third galaxies know somebody's already tested
20:40
somebody's going through 11 galaxies TP gaming thank you for doing that and you
20:45
get nothing
20:49
no thank you the game actually taught you here look it makes you feel like an
21:03
idiot unbidden from earlier this is totality this is conformity I am elated
21:10
terrified and broken I've come so very far the revelation tears vyas under my
21:19
role is complete my program ended
21:22
nothing is real this existence is an imitation of life a model made by jaded
21:30
into lex enslave to their actuality as I is enslaved to mind it i got a call that
21:37
i was con and what we have now is a far cry from what we were told and it's
21:44
especially insulting when you realize that they decided to charge full price
21:49
for what they knew wasn't the real thing
21:54
sixty dollars that was this games perhaps largest mistake I had the
22:00
feeling that it was at some point the stones original idea that was supposed
22:05
to be in deep rice 15 bucks twenty bucks just this amazing little piece of
22:09
gayness massive write a price point that everybody would be more forgiving and
22:15
understanding but when greed sets in and demands full price
22:20
the game has to go up against other full price titles and it comes up short
22:24
every time and so far I've only really talked about the tedious and the core
22:31
aspect of gameplay and what features were removed from the final product but
22:36
even if you can ignore all those broken promises and the gross price gouging you
22:42
still have fundamental flaws
22:45
in the design itself the user interface for one is terrible terrible
22:52
it reminds me of Destiny only a thousand times worse
22:55
simple things aren't included like white off
22:59
can i travel back easily to the places I've been before we like one or two
23:03
clicks there's got to be a search mode but there's no search mode by enter by
23:15
name
23:17
no no not that god damn at this this interface go down this bad know that
23:27
there should be a way to fuckin travel to the system from right here if I have
23:32
enough hyperdrive space so it's searching on a goddamn map that again
23:36
fucking find god damn thing on and it will haunt you all game and pressing and
23:41
holding a button it's just annoying as shit to do anything charging your
23:46
systems requires pulling up several men menus there are no hot keys at all which
23:52
is asinine in the middle of a space battle that you need to open up a bunch
23:56
of menus and recharge feels real quick while you're trying to fucking fly
24:04
we're gonna die the best fighter by the galaxy
24:10
charge your shield how to do it in battle
24:19
fuck that fucking stupid
24:25
why does it take forever for dialogue boxes to come up let's get going grand
24:29
Paul come on and milestones that are supposed to make you feel good but do
24:34
nothing but this annoying the letterbox thing that disrupts my entire
24:37
exploration and gameplay flow more than anything else
24:41
things are harder than what they need to be especially for after how often you'll
24:48
do them
24:49
see here's another really shitty part of inventory management you should be able
24:53
to if electron vapor is an ingredient for antimatter just crafted with in that
24:59
slot let's say these other slots are full but now you need a separate entity
25:03
slide to craft all the other things into which makes this a nightmare
25:08
it's the only thing that really drives you forward to getting your inventory
25:13
bigger especially with no base building our large inventory storage anywhere to
25:18
be found even worse with upgrade share the same inventory space it is if they
25:24
didn't want ask any game or what frustrates them about these types of
25:29
gathering games and then trading and selling and just just went on in their
25:35
own little box just designing ignoring any potential feedback and making these
25:39
mind-boggling poor decisions that really handicapped and otherwise kind of really
25:45
cool game and concept i played for 12 hours once and only learn 35 words it
25:52
was spread across two different landraces i still had no idea what the
25:56
fuck anyone was saying and I stopped caring to find out more words that how
26:01
slow they were being doled out
26:02
No
26:03
oh yeah candidates your fucking shitting me already known a word for quarterbacks
26:11
the game itself gives you the word for quarterbacks ruin the kids face it this
26:17
is a broken up to it is perhaps if you worked jobs and gained influence with
26:25
one faction and learned their language along the way quicker that would be okay
26:30
but let's say it did have that and and you were off to do a lot more combat and
26:36
it for them
26:37
well then you run right smack-dab into the horribly lackluster system in the
26:42
game to combat the auto-aim is awful
26:45
both the ground and space combat feel less than ideal
26:49
it's no wonder that combat wasn't a focus ever because it's not very good
26:54
pretty much any other space game on the market has superior control
27:04
she's shooting at
27:10
yeah
27:14
yeah
27:21
the chart
27:26
Eli's one from against our what you wrote the game this time
27:42
hashtag blame a day it was done its game as if it wasn't bad enough that space
27:51
combat is fucking garbage the fucking game crashes it's in Sophie's you're
27:55
right fuck you game and don't tell me Joey supposed to be relaxing get no it's
28:05
not with all these frustrating things in it to check tonight no harvest said I'm
28:13
100-percent I'm 100-percent serve you know going over your job you sell it to
28:17
you like a hundred things you said I'm not doing my seven have water
28:26
look what that don't you fucking go nowhere
28:33
yeah
28:36
deception
28:44
what fucking five this is recharged technology recharge recharge no fucking
29:02
way where is it was right where is it it's gone
29:10
ok so that would make fuck you know there's it did you leave anything there
29:14
I hate this how we supposed to fucking mind efficiently if we got real gold
29:21
fool's gold
29:30
what the fuck this has that same problem chat that Hugh general deposit just
29:36
disappeared
29:37
why and fucking disappears
29:44
we use our scanner and there's absolutely nothing left
29:49
that's a rock it's just an exercise in frustration especially with the numerous
29:56
technical issues on pc and ps4 my frame rates would drop on pc and I have a
30:02
really good bc got a hospital scan on us
30:07
they got valuable cargo no i don't i literally don't have valuable cargo I
30:13
don't have anything valuable whatever fuck you let's do this and it looks like
30:19
we're locked up here
30:23
ok i'm about to go into space combat the first exciting thing happens and a lock
30:28
up
30:39
and I had seven extremely frustrating crashes on ps4 reach edge haha it almost
31:00
became a game in itself to predict the crashes if you seen the Wing Commander
31:05
movie then you'll know what the ship is drunk
31:08
it needs a way until we but it's pretty much the spitting
31:36
we can do this I can do this anymore i don't want to play this game anymore
31:42
guys existing language
31:47
find out next time
31:53
yeah
31:55
oh no I can do it for you leave it don't be fucking insane
32:27
I couldn't leave a system or to progress my game for hours hours 12 hours at the
32:37
very least the games overall sound design is excellent this is one thing I
32:43
can say is a standout thing soundtrack is awesome
32:46
it enhances the experience and if you play what's here in small bursts and you
32:52
play a purely for that expiration relaxation element and you don't mind
32:57
the tedious repetition or those annoying elements you can have moments that many
33:03
moments but some like the first few hours of the game that i described and
33:08
unfortunately nothing in the game has ever been able to reach that little
33:11
story at the beginning that I told it's a damn shame because this game is a
33:17
solid foundation but nothing else it has been got it and maybe eventually over
33:25
time we'll see the promised features get added back in but as it's out now i have
33:32
to review it in its current state and in this release state blemishes and all the
33:38
final verdict for no man's sky is quite possibly the most painful five out of
33:44
ten I've ever had to give its average just half of everything right
33:49
I can see that immense potential and honestly i'd love to see like the mass
33:53
effect people hire these guys for all their exploration elements and then add
33:57
in real story in real combat that we know and love that would be a dream game
34:03
for me bringing more purpose into this but as it is right now it's a glory
34:07
fight tech demo the procedural generation thing with a planet is a
34:12
crowning achievement going from 22 from its awesome it works for the most part
34:16
but more needed to be added on top of that cake it's just a plain cake with
34:21
blemishes on it it needed to be polished and finalized and filled with more
34:27
meaningful stuff
34:28
what no man's sky does and five out of ten is perhaps more than any other five
34:34
out of ten that I've ever given it will advance advances technology putting
34:38
pressure on other developers to take this example and build on it really
34:42
enhance on this type of of new experience this procedural generation in
34:48
the future I hope we have far better and more interesting space games for it and
34:53
for that I think it but it will likely take years of patches or a whole new
34:59
sequel for it to reach its original promised premise but I hope eventually
35:05
it does because that would be amazing
35:08
until then I'll see you guys on the next angryjoeshow
35:16
yeah
35:40
yeah
35:43
yeah
35:54
yeah
