Comment on Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc?

  Your argument is that the game doesn’t fit its “space tropes”, but somehow that’s not you having different expectations than what it actually promised and delivered?

    I expect functional dogfights, not simulator like flight model, but something arcady in a space game with functional AI. How is that an unrealistic expectation?

      I don’t know exactly what you mean with “functional dogfights […] with functional AI”, but from the looks of it, it’s there already:

      There are also different factions in the game that the player can interact with and gain/lose reputation. According to the wiki, entertaining relationships with the in-game factions net the following benefits:

      • Availability of certain blueprints to purchase.
      • Faction specific dialogue options.
      • Possibility to start missions, which require a minimum faction standing.
      • High standing will grant the player aid at times when under attack by pirates.
      • Discounts on technology modules in Space Stations.

      Maybe it’s not as in-depth as you (and I) wish it was, but it’s there already.

        Here’s something about dogfight:

        Thanks for proving my point.
