Thread: No Man's Sky
I've heard a few criticisms so far but also lots of good. Can anyone who has the game comment on these?

- Planets are different in terms of life and makeup and stuff but after seeing a few they start to get repetitive and unoriginal. Bound to happen when you make everything from the same bag of lego bricks. They push the aspect of how many planets there are pretty hard but 2^64 planets doesn't mean shit if they're similar enough to start looking the same bar a color palette change. Heard the game described as being "broad as an ocean but deep as a puddle".

- Game loop is repetitive and gets boring fast. That is, constantly having to get resources and stuff for your suit, multitool, ship. You can't just explore because these things have to always be considered and slow you down/hold you back.

- Nothing happens. Heard there isn't much story. Alien AI races don't do anything, don't interact with eachother. No wow moments.


I'll reserve my final judgement for a few days while people get into it more and I can hear how it plays on PC but if someone can comment on those things above I'd be really interested to get your views.
