Comment on No Man's Sky 10th anniversary Cosmos update is here, and that means orbital bases, space station ownership - and yes, you can finally fly to the sun

  Then go play Star Citizen and then come back and say how good THAT game is after almost 15 years years of “content updates”!

    I mean, unironically better? At least you can see interesting things when exploring, and dogfighting is so much better it’s barely comparable.

      The “gameplay loop” of the elevator broke and then my ship blew up for no fucking reason.

      The game breaking bugs outnumber the features.

      But Chris Roberts has another ship to sell you, so you pay $50 and eat it all up.

        As I said the game is not stable and I’m not the one who brought up this comparison.

        But I can tell you that I regret the ~20 I spent on NMS, and I don’t regret the ~35 I spent on SC over a decade ago.

        Just the dogfighting module alone was better than any half-hour slice of my time with NMS.

  I play NMS, and this comment made me laugh out loud.

    I’ve had so many enjoyable hours of playing NMS, and eventually it does get to a point where I’ve completed the current missions and I’ve done everything multiple times and it gets repetitive… and I stop playing it. Then they have a release, and it’s an exciting game again.

    I love that it’s still getting updates because it keeps me coming back. I can’t wait to check out this latest update!

    I’ve tried it multiple times over the years and getting fun out of the game is like squeezing blood from a stone. The core gameplay is a shallow grind, and almost all of the updates just bolt on other shallow systems onto that core. I legitimately cannot fathom what you enjoy about it unless you’re playing with friends which can make anything enjoyable.

      It’s far less typing to just say “I’m not the target audience for this game.”

        I am EXACTLY the target audience for this game. Space sims have been some of my favorite games since I played Wing Commander II. I was just as wowed by the initial trailer for NMS as anyone else. The game let us all down and I don’t think it deserves a pass for adding a bunch of boring activities to do in addition to the boring core gameplay.

  I love it. I play this with sto because this has all the stuff sto is missing and sto has the content this is missing.
