The only intention you have when you come into No Man Sky threads is to derail them.

My concern is it will be boring. The Spore comparison is spot on.

Then this thread is perfect for you.

Actually no that is just plain wrong. I came into this thread and fofered my say and concerns. Then you randomly popped up with:

This experiment worked perfectly.

And I wanted to question as to why you made two threads based on said experiment while also pointing out the part where you don't name names shows ill intent, toehrwise you'd be open and friendly to tell us who the experiments were aimed at, you still keep dodging that question and are now trying to make up reasons to get me banned (as if that wasn't obvious).

If you cannot answer my question then I'll have no choice but to assume you created those "experiments" out of ill intent towards some select people.

That isn't the case at all. I wouldn't want anyone to get banned for something as trivial as serial trolling. That would be far too harsh and I believe people can change.

the concept of the game is interesting and it looks fairly good. The fatal flaw could potentially be the game world SIZE. Its nice to have a giant galaxy to explore but when we hear from the developers that you might potentially NEVER come across another human player in the game, or for some extreme amount of time- that potentially ruins ALL of the best features of the game

people are excited for No Man's Sky for exploring- sure, but that's not the #1 interest for most. And even something like exploring I feel like a lot of players would much prefer to do that with friends. Jump online with your buddy and find and name a planet of your own to share or whatevs

when thinking of an open world exploration space game- I'm pretty sure the top things casual gamers are going to be exciting for are the space battles, space trade, organizations/clans, just screwing around and flying spaceships around with your buddies, being pirates, etc.

pretty much EVERYTHING I just mentioned are things that people would want to do with other human players

the concept of a game that inifinitely basically spawns planets and solar systems and galaxies is extremely flawed because people DONT want to be lost in space without other human players. They want a Guardian of the Galaxy or Star Wars experience where they can make their own world with other players.

I just think the game world size is the major flaw. There was huge opportunity here but using a system in which you can't even find your friends to fliy around in space with if you WANT is pretty silly

I think most people are extremely open and interesting in the concept of exploration and discovering things and not obsessed with the FPS angle- however if you have a game in which you have a big space world with potentially space battles (they've shown that in demos), space pirates, space trade, some level of multiplayer, etc.-  then why on Earth would you make it so difficult to meet up with other players?

having a giant auto generated universe is cool to some degree, to make you feel truly lost exploring in the middle of the universe- but why not have some feature where you can light speed teleport to some region hub to meet up with players?

I mean this is just the sort of game that seems PERFECT for multiplayer, clans, space battles, even exploring a planet with others and 'claiming' them to some degree

I guess I just find it absolutely bizarre that this game actually supposedly will allow multiplayer BUT its just the odds are you are very unlikely to find another player. eh. After flying around the galaxy for so long eventually it will grow tiresome to see the same NPC's and no other players

I usually vastly prefer single player games but the reality is that a space exploration game set in a giant open world certainly lends itself to the multiplayer experience

Are you, are you actually trying to threaten me?.

Why is it so hard to just answer the simple question, why are you avoiding it entirely?.

I think you underestimate the size of this game. Even if you WANTED to spend hours trying to find another player or your friend in this game it would be near impossible apparently.

that's a tinyyyyy bit excessive don't you think? I mean whats the point of allowing multiplayer at all if you're going to limit it to that degree? its strange.

it would be one thing if this were a cinematic game or had like a story- but it doesn't. generally open ended games like this sort of need some sort of direction by allowing players to interact with one another and create their own world or story.

and I will point this out- they could have made the game drastically smaller and it would still be a large enough universe for players to possibly be able to meet up with one another, but still be somewhat awkward to do so, to limit the odds of big battling clans distracting from the game experience

I mean its just seems odd, you're out exploring planet after planet and ya can't find your buddy in the game at all? blah

getting to the center of the universe in this game is implied of taking like foreverrrrrr by the devs. Finding other players will NOT be easy. I think some of you have ignored the devs repeatedly pointing out the scale of this auto generated universe and their repeated mentionings that you may NEVER come across another player.

I mean if you have to spend like 20 hours in game time getting to where your friend is what the hell is that?
