  if they turned the procedural generator at people, food, supplies and weapons instead of the landscapes… game would have been amazing

  the other problem was traveling, they needed to make travel a painful burden… because when it became a quick loading screen and you are there… omfg it ruins the stories the npc’s are trying to tell

  wtf you left your crew out here to die?! it took me 5 minutes to get here…

  Having a space game where every planet and every place in space is a super interesting stage feels so fake and wrong because space is not like that. If we go out into space and to other planets we will find way more boring then interesting (for the normal person) planets and locations between the planets out there then anything else. I love that Starfield is brave enough to show space more realistic even if that means boring.

  That’s why I don’t really get into No Man’s Sky, the space and planets feels manufactured.

    If the game had a proper navigation between planets and less loadings I think the game would not receive so much criticism. The procedural generated content is not good but is not awful.

      The game has proper navigation between planets, you gravjump because space even between planets are huge and nobody wants to travel multiple months in empty interplanetary space from planet A to planet B in the same system.

      And the loading screens well that is the price to have a engine that allows for large numbers of manipulatable and change objects. All other engines have less loading screens yes but their worlds and places are full of statics that look good but can’t be taken or manipulated in any way. And I am very happy to pay that price.

        The game has proper navigation between planets, you gravjump because space even between planets are huge and nobody wants to travel multiple hours, days, weeks or months (depending how close to the limit of C your story allows) in empty interplanetary space from planet A to planet B in the same system.

        The problem is how is presented, the loading screen play a role here too. If the gravjump was only the animation starting then you exiting without the black screen, or a more lengthy jump put you can move in your ship while the jump is happening the amount of loadings would not be so noticiable.

    Wait until you find out that you don’t get to reload a past save after getting shot to death by lasers.

      I don’t fully understand that comment, but game mechanics and world building are two very different things.
