Default No Man's Sky

This game looks really cool. Anyone else going to be playing it?

Anyone else's heuristic automatically filter this out of long term memory and preclude clicking lank solely based on the game's title?

My thoughts exactly, not sure what it is about it. Too try-hard indie and pretentious

Oh I didn't even click the OP link. Here, best vid imo: No Man's Sky - All 5 Trailers (So Far)

It's basically a big-big sandbox with a lot of different elements. Probably the most famed mechanic is the transition from space to planet which looks done VERY well, though not the first to do it. Like even recently, Space Engineers included it when they release planets into the game, though it's more realism style and no quick ways through the atmosphere ^^

Yeah, eventually I will. Right now my desktop has 4gb of memory, and this game I read is at a req of 8gb. I'm done upgrading my desktop, ain't worth it, going to be replacing it soon. I'm hardly even using my desktop apart from work related stuff, I've been gaming on my slower laptop, which is about as powerful enough to run Skyrim at lowish settings.

I like what it's about, looks good, though it has been fairly hyped as an everything game by it's following. Like, it's not like EVE [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I've played EVE for years (emphasis on cov-ops and sub-cap combat), NMS looks a lot different in almost every way. Closest thing to EVE is the X3 series by Egosoft which is still a wonderful space sim.

But yeah might wait a bit, maybe six months or so and catch it on a steam sale. By then it will be better polished and deeper content.
<-- space sim fan for sure.

What I like about it is the dev team is pro-active. I'm super stoked to dive in.

I am definitely looking forward to it.

I just wish it had more options geared towards multiplayer. The last I have heard, even if you and a friend try to head towards each other it may be impossible to meet up depending on your starting locations because of the vastness of the universe.

I would like it if it let you choose where you start on the outer rim of the galaxy so you can start close to friends/family/guild and do the journey together.

I already play Elite Dangerous.
Waiting to see if Star citizen is going to be a piece of crap.

No room for No Mans Sky. They certainly have put a lot of money into marketing their game. Also nothing is like EVE other then EVE.

...apart from X3 and Endless Sky [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
But not like clones, no, but "like", very much compared to other space sims. And they don't have the multiplayer component that drives EVE. There is even an EVE mod pack for X3, for the ships.
