Didn't take long*
The offending creature.

It looks like a neat idea and like the sort of thing I could sink a few hours into, but ultimately the price tag put me off. I'm not spendig £40 on a tech demo.

>>21856
I will buy it when it crashes to £6.

>>21859
This should go without saying for every single game on Steam.

Nice idea, mediocre execution, not worth the £50 it's selling for on consoles. Felt like I'd seen everything the game had to offer within 5 hours, just a very repetitive survival/resource mining game. Feels very much like a £20 indie game, but with an unfortunately high AAA price tag. Maybe if they keep adding stuff to it, it might end up feeling worth it. But as other people have said, it's a tech demo with very barebones gameplay.

>>21856
>>21861
Have you actually been discovering things? Have you been naming planets and species and so on?

Looks like an unfortunate victim of its own hype. I think it's the first game from that studio and it's a decent one at that, but for some reason a certain amount of people convinced themselves it would be a big enough deal to eclipse both Half-Lifes and make EVE: Online look kiddie's sandpit.

>>21864

I think people a) got overexcited about the generative malarkey and b) conflated it with Star Citizen, which may well make EVE look tiny and empty.

>>21865
Star Citizen is a scam mate.

And EVE fucking rocks.

>>21866>>21867

Go mine space rocks, Greedo!

>>21862
I've been naming stuff yea, the game gives things it's own fancy names like we give to every species of whatever, but you then can upload these so if others somehow come across your planet they see those names and can't b changed.
When you upload these discoveries you can either name them something else like Phil's mom or the like (There are some word filters though) or leave it as their generated name.

Elite : Dangerous has been out for yonks and offers the proper Space Bloke experience, for obvious reasons. Not sure why we're all bothered about anything else when we can be playing that already.

>>21870

Does Elite let you land on planets full of bonkers shit though? That's where the appeal of this one comes from, sadly it seems to miss the mark a bit.

I would love a game set in the Mass Effect universe, where you just nip about exploring different worlds, stopping off at various space stations to buy new guns from seedy alien mercenary types. That's what I loved the most about the first game, where you'd bomb about in your BigTrak and then OH SHIT SANDWORM and such.The lore made it all seem so alluring and mysterious, but they never capitalised on that potential.

>>21869
> There are some word filters
Ew. Just the usual ones or the politically correct too?

>>21872
What are you talking about, teenlad?

>>21872

I'm guessing all the usual jazz and the famous bad people in history list.

I think Mass Effect is the best spacey space space game so THERE!

Just noticed OP's image says 'Photon Cannon' on the top right. My car has those too, although we usually call them the 'headlights'.

>>21873
Hurts?

>>21876
You can shoot photon torpedos at aliens by chucking lightbulbs around in Tower Hamlets.

pretty much sums it up

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>21884

You forgot to capitalise, you thicky bastard.

That video does make a good case for why Americans caste well spoken Englishmen as villains though.

>>21885
Huh? Sean Murray isn't English...

>>21886
>I’m from Ireland originally but moved about a bit – including a few years in Australia growing up (apparently leaving me with a confused accent).

Yeah well he sounds English and that's good enough for filling the role of the Hollywood evil Englishman.

>>21887

Oh so he's got an excuse at least. I just heard it and assumed he's one of those geek-hipster wankers who talks to too many colonials on Skype and deliberately affects aspects of their accent in order to make his Youtube channel more appealing to a global audience.

>>21864
It's not their first game, they're the people behind Joe Danger, and a lot (most?) of them worked together at Criterion.

And a good chunk of (admittedly probably quite naive) people were convinced it would be a huge game changer, yes, but it wasn't all self-inflicted. The game was promoted in a ludicrous way. I have no idea what it was doing being showcased on late night American talk shows, for example.

Murray quite clearly was uncomfortable giving away details, but instead of doing the sensible thing and not talking about the game until he actually knew what he could say, he continued giving half answers and fanning the flames of unrealistic expectations. And outright stating falsehoods at some points. I'm sure he didn't intend to lie, but again, if you don't know what you can say because the finished product will be subject to changes, don't say anything.

I feel bad for him on some level. He undoubtedly wanted to make the game he hinted at as much as, if not more than, the people who now hate him wanted to play it.

Then again, he's probably making obscene amounts of cash from this, so also fuck him.

>>21887
Huh, you think so? Maybe the Irishness of his accent is only obvious if you're Irish.

>>21889
>the people behind Joe Danger
As if this means anything? I'd never heard of it before I clicked on Hello Games on Steam.

>>21890
It means that NMS isn't their first game.

>>21891
Then why did you mention the name as though we should have heard of it?

>>21892
Presumably he did it so you can verify his research.

>>21892
I don't know what you have or haven't heard and don't presume to tell anyone what video games they "should have" heard of, I mentioned the name of a game they worked on to show that NMS was not their first. Jesus.

>>21894
A game nobody has heard of? Why don't just make a post saying "I'm really smart me" next time, lad?

>>21893
Yeah, but then that should go "they also made a game called X" not "they're the people behind X".

>>21895
It's ok lad, nobody was insulting your intelligence by citing a game you haven't personally heard of. There's no need to really when you post like that and remove all doubt.

>>21896
That makes no difference.

>>21897
Mate, you are the one who is listing games nobody has ever heard of just to sound smart. Give it a rest.

>>21898
Yes it does, because it makes it sound like the game is famous.

>>21895
Again, I don't know what you have or haven't heard of. But you're right, inspector, I mentioned a platforming game to look "really smart" on an anonymous imageboard. That's me rumbled.

>>21899
No I'm not, better luck next time.

>>21900
I... I don't think it does. I understand that someone might read it that way but the way it's worded doesn't imply that to me. It's certainly not something worth arguing about like this.

>>21903
DON'T TELL ME WHAT IS OR ISN'T WORTH ARGUING ABOUT

>>21888
> geek-hipster
The fuck is that? What's the difference compared to the usual hipster?
Yes, I am genuinely interested.

>>21905

It's what I call the kind of geek who has a degree of success and popularity, and so styles themselves as a hip trendy media type rather than a plain old nerd with lots of Internet subscribers. Conversely it can also mean the kind of hipster who watches a lot of TBBT and plays Super Nintendo games in order to qualify as a geek. There's a lot of cross over between the hipster need to like uncool things in order to be cool, and the rise of trendy "geek culture" over the last few years.

Apologies if that wasn't immediately obvious, or is all in my head.

>>21906
Thanks and no apologies needed. Should've figured out myself but I'm a bit distant from these things nowadays.

Even works derived from the source material are boring.
