It's a Naruto version of the popular trollface meme.

It matters more then you know .

Yes, if your intention is to do (what I guess) your avatar represents.  If I understand the meaning as described to me.

Im saying a dev being honest matters more then you know and your trying to say that im bring a troll?. You really hurt my feelings .

My personal opinion of you has drastically improved near the end of this thread.  Not sure why you'd be sad about anything.

So apparently, steam is offering refunds for No Man's Sky even if you pass the 2 hour limit. So if anyone bought it on PC while going over the 2 hour mark and still isn't satisfied, you can still get a refund apparently.

Good. There's a large thread about it on GAF. People are saying even Sony gave them PSN refunds, which is shocking. But the more people who refund and show devs they can't lie about their games, the better.

thats fantastic, but what do you like about it? you didnt really answer my question. you knew nothing about it so you had zero expectations so is that your argument? you basically just said "I like the game because it is better than nothing." but what part of the game, what actual feature, makes it fun to play?

I just like it. Going to different planets, analyzing the different creatures that live on them, getting money for upgrades, and all that stuff. I'm intrigued by the backgrounds of the sentient species and very intrigued by what little story points I've encountered so far. I love the action moments when something goes wrong, because they feel so intense.

Essentially, I like the grindy gameplay enough to keep going and be interested in new places - but the game's most awesome thing to me is that, because it is mostly so empty and devoid of any interesting stuff, it just gets that much more interesting/intriguing/intense whenever something big happens.

I like it for the same reasons. The need for materials gives you just enough incentive to go down to the planets, yet it doesn't get in the way of enjoiying the game after the initial grind. And even that wasn't all that much trouble. I'm always excited to go down to the surface to see what I'll find this time. Not the alien structures, that's just gameplay furniture, but what landscapes and strange animals I'll encounter. Getting lost underground, do I keep following this cave that disappears underwater. Can I get on the top of that floating island with the jet pack and dive into the water below. How deep is this ocean, etc.

And yep, the background stories are quite nice. It's not about the blue print or little reward that comes after, the story bit is the real reward. I always look for ruins, abandoned structures and ancient monoliths.

It can get intense at times. Annoying pirates warp in, guess I'll shoot them, oops hit the trader, stars shooting me and the sentinels show up as well. Peacefully explore a cave then suddenly encounter a whole group of fast aggressive crab like creatures around the corner. 10 times more dangerous than sentinels.

I thought I had seen it all, then last night I encounter this strange looking crystal floating in space. I take screenshots, what the hell is it, someting special? I shoot it, turns out to be a simple copper resource. That's about the game in a nutshell, managing expectations lol.


Procedural exploration games is still a new genre. Give it time to see where it goes. NMS is already a vast improvement over exploring in Elite Dangerous. That started out with literally zero reason to explore. The worst rewards of anything in the game and nothing but system maps with a bunch of planet stats to find. (And hunting for pretty pictures ofcourse) It did have other things right that NMS should have picked up on. Your ship is the star, your base, your home. ED makes it a joy to fly different ships and puts a lot of strategy in how to configure the upgrades, weight vs distance. NMS it doesn't matter what ship you fly or how much crap you carry along.
Plus the sense of scale. I have no clue where I am in NMS in the soup with dots. Maybe that's intentional, always feeling lost.
