MODERATORS
In F04 about 70% of my time is spent scraping piles (scrap all) of rubbish in my settlements.
Doesn't anyone in the post apocalyptics fucking sweep and recycle???
This game really shows how it COULD be. Totally fail with epic bad reviews. No giving up, putting year after year of free updates and content until the initial vision was approximated and reviews went to very positive.
I dunno if I could name another game that managed that in the last 3 decades.
Homeworld 3
Oh no wait that's the opposite...
Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 to A Realm Reborn.
Granted, expansions after that were sold, but still, that one update turned the game around and allowed it to turn a multi-million dollar failure into a multi-million dollar success.
..and still kicking. Right. That one too 😊
Forgot about that one. The beta was so bad I refused to play at original release.
Issue with that is I pre-order the game before release based on false information. Gave up playing after 6 months because it sucked. When they finally got it to what they initially promised. It became almost unplayable by the amount of grinding that had to be done to even earn enough to by a freighter. Again gave up playing. So now sits on my shelf part of my collection.
Oh almost forgot when they updated they corrupted my save file so I lost all the progress I made in that 6 months. So that pissed me off as well.
I mean you pre-ordered. You got what you deserve
I'm not gonna look up the picture but just pretend I posted the picture of makarov with the caption "remember no pre-orders"
Freighters aren't difficult to get now...
Tap for spoiler
They just straight up give you a freighter after 3 hyper jumps IIRC
And when you say now, it's been that way since about a year after the game was released.
Nothing is ever perfect, but would you have preferred they did nothing, ran with the money and pissed on you? Now they just managed to disappoint you more than once. Many others seem to be happy now. For free. While the vast majority of other companies wouldn't even bother SELLING you updates. Sure, they didn't manage to appease 100% of customers, but they really tried to make up for it. That should count for something, shouldn't it?
Sure does. Just not sure I can get back into this game.
Dude it's been a decade
So far i didn't even manage to get into this game once since release, so i hear you :-) But that was mostly issued on the whole procedural-generation-thing. To me it's just incredibly boring the moment I figured out the puzzle-pieces. But that's subjective and wouldn't affect my rating of this game.
The important thing for me is that they didn't just shrug and move on to something else. The devs take the issues and suggestions and work towards a better game each time. What other company has completely overhauled a game like this?
A lot of games have made things better with paid updates/expansions, but NMS really seems to be the only one where the free updates have fixed the game. Hell, there were jokes going around with the last big free update that people wanted to pay them more for all these free updates.
Yeah lol. I was pissed for purchasing early too. Back then, 3000 years ago. But now I would really be ready to buy a dlc goddammit 😁
They fucked up royally but stood up to it in the most honorable way possible.
10 years, I was a much different man when I first played this game. Part of my would like to forget the time and start fresh with all these updates.
I’ve started fresh a number of times with these updates and unfortunately what that does is just highlight how disparate and tacked-on many of them are. They do not make for a coherent, well integrated experience at all. I’m certain it’s a better experience to just be a long time player who logs back in for every update.
Every update I seem to hop back in, ogle and awe at the new content, and promptly stop playing within a couple days.
That makes sense to me.
So do it
You'd think by being ADHD I could do just that. But I feel like without a lobotomy I'll just have to live with disappointment.
:(
I remember feeling like I was scammed when this was very early development and even after initial release... bros really redeemed themselves.
They did for sure, and he's now careful about what he says which is smart. He learned a ton through that very public failure.
I'm looking forward to their next game.
Ive been thinking about buying this game for ages, but im just wondering if its gotten better from the original version which i believe was a total flop?
If you’re wondering if the game was made any deeper and more engaging then no. But they have added a great many new side activities to do. The game was built upon horizontally rather than vertically.
So if you had the game at launch and lived every second of it and just wanted more, you’ll be very happy.
If you had the game and launch and were let down by the lack of depth the game offered, you’ll won’t get much out of it today either.
The promise of the original game was never fulfilled but the game we now have is good in its own way.
Don’t expect “lone space adventure” and you’ll be ok. The game is a survival game at its core and requires you to gather materials . . . In space!
Some people (me) can’t stand games that are just well-disguised work, no matter how pretty.

If you like the style of gameplay, it is nothing like it's original launch state.
It's decent. Exploring and collecting different things and upgrading gear is kinda nifty. Late game stuff like settlements and fleets are time gated and annoying. Planetary vehicles confused the hell out of me. Building a vehicle pad and summoning it is much more effort than just using the literal spaceship I just parked. Combat feels... Bad honestly. There's a ton of weapon attachments but only like 2 feel viable but maybe that's just me.
I remember space travel feeling pretty good. It's not bullshit like starfield (where you load screen instead of actually taking off or landing) and not complex like elite dangerous (where entry has to be planned to land near your target), but a nice arcade-y feel with sick visuals.
If you can pick it up for 20 or 30 bucks I'd say it's worth if you're looking for a moderately chill game. There's a ton to discover but it gets samey after a while.
The motorbike can be fun, getting big jumps can be awesome, and you can explore caves easier. Other than that, yeah.

I bought it on release day and got bored quickly.
I picked it back up two years ago and I played all the way through to the end.
Now I don't have much to do but play the expeditions and hunt for my favorite ships.
Currently I'm spacing bases out across each galaxy. It's still quite fun, and if you didn't complete the main story I think it's worth the purchase.
It's basically a different game from the original. The gameplay loop is similar sure, but it doesn't even resemble the original.
Everything they said (lied) about being in the game at launch has now been in the game for a while, and they just keep going with new content. And always free.
