    Did you include the fuel port in the glovebox in case you need to install any Liquid Schwartz?

  Mile wide, inch deep. I’ve no doubt (as excited for this update as I am) that this will be the same.

  Basically they just add a framework for new features and then leaves it there without building it out.

    I’ve read “Mile wide, inch deep” often enough in this thread that feels less like a problem and more like a thought-terminating cliche to me.

    Is it a flaw to have a lot of smaller things you can do without them needing to be complete experiences themselves? They’re not trying to make a different game out of these expansions (except Light no Fire I guess lol), it’s still going to be NMS at the end of the day

    • thejoker954@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yes, it is a flaw. Because those “smaller things” are little more than virtual fidget spinners.

      They offer a few fleeting moments of novelty and thats pretty much it. They have little to no relevance to the gameplay loop or are opposed to the gameplay loop.

      I can “build” a settlement that does next to nothing and I can’t even design it the way I want.

      I can build a base that is practically lifeless, but I have to be carefull because terrain will respawn. Or base foundations float on top of terrain.

      And all the things I can build I’m lucky if theres 3 different skins I can choose from to try and make something “my own”.

      And then of course lets not forget about the near literal mile wide inch deep the games oceans are. Heres a submersible. We will force you to use it for a couple missions and then theres no real need or point to it. All the oceans are the same shallow boring experience.

      Here im being slightly facetious but only slightly :

      You’ve seen one ice planet? Guess what - you’ve seen them all.

      One glitch planet- you guessed it youve seen them all.

      Tropical planet - oh look this ones sky is a different color, but still the exact same type of tree as that other tropical planet 40k lightyears away.

        I’m not gonna respond to all of that but I will say:

        1. I think there’s a fundamental difference between something not being to your taste and something being flawed. This kinda just reads like you didn’t enjoy your experience. That’s fine, but that doesn’t make the product flawed
        2. a lot of the problems you mentioned have been improved on over the past few expansions
        3. fidget spinners are fun, idk why you have beef with them lol

  I love NMS for what it is. A sandbox. Some people don’t like playing in one. That’s fine.

  • malle_yeno@pawb.social ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Totally! Not for everyone and certainly doesn’t have to be.

    But I did hope that people who are making the leap from “I don’t like NMS” to “NMS isn’t good” would offer more to consider than the vibes not being there.

  I'll be honest with you for me personally I just don't have the patience for the game. I just want to build my ship with whatever parts are in the game and explore. that's it. I don't want to mine resources, I don't want to wait in some random station for some random ship to show up that MIGHT have the part I want. I don't want to do any of that.

  I barely made it out of the tutorial and forced my way through it.

  Nothing wrong with NMS but I didn't want to play it the way it made me play it. I just want to build in peace and explore.

  • malle_yeno@pawb.social ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    That’s fair! And for what it’s worth, the game now offers a creative mode that alleviates the need to mine resources if that’s not what you’re looking for. That might be what you want out of it?

    source

    • rozodru@piefed.social ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yeah I know but you still have to wait for ships to show up to get their parts right? unless they changed it you don't have access to ALL ship parts right off the bat in creative mode do you?

      source
  • Dvixen@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Fair enough. The creative modes are definitely worth considering, you can set build cost to zero, eliminating the waiting and farming. Survival aspects can also be tuned, so you can stand in storms and feel like a god.

  My wife bought me the game and for years I didn’t pick it up. Couple years ago I decided to finally give it a try.

  I’m on my third playthrough and am making a sea base for fishing and deep sea exploration. All commanded from the bridge of my dreadnought. I haven’t played in a couple months but am glad I get new things to do again. The amount of updates and changes absolutely amaze me.
