Starbound Megathread - Version 1.3.2

[Private McDoggy]

Just because someone has replayed the game doesn't mean it has replay value. And I sort of enjoyed my first playthrough on Upbeat Giraffe, but it felt empty and repetitive. Mine ore, make the next tier of identical items, visit differently-colored planet with differently-colored ore, repeat a couple times. How can replaying be any better? The only high points were the bosses, which are few and far between, spaced with filler, and they're the same every time.

My first statement still stands.

No it doesn't? People wanting to replay a game is more or less the definition of replayability.

Just because you can't find replay value in the game doesn't mean it has no replay value for anyone else

you're basically saying that reviews mean absolutely nothing because although you dont enjoy something someone else might

[Nal]

Wow, what an improvement.

i am mad
actually mad

Except I didn't say that at all

[Doughboy]

Except I didn't say that at all

"you saying the game has no replayability means nothing because other people might find it replayable"
"you saying the game is unenjoyable means nothing because other people might find it enjoyable"

[Private McDoggy]

"you saying the game has no replayability means nothing because other people might find it replayable"
"you saying the game is unenjoyable means nothing because other people might find it enjoyable"

Those are two completely different things.

[Doughboy]

Those are two completely different things.

both very much affect a persons view on a game and whether its seen as a bad game or not

[IkeTheGeneric]

Saying something has no replay value because you don't want to replay it doesn't really make any sense.

Replay value is literally how much people want to play the game again after beating it

Starbound's content ends in a few hours of raw gameplay. After you've seen everything, there's no reason to look for procedural generated content because you've already seen it all after seeing all the different world types

the developers, instead of developing raw gameplay, keep stuffing in empty content like collect-a-thon garbage and pointless, roundabout quests for the sake of quests

there's no meaningful content inbetween all the filler and it ends up being a good experience until you run out of things to see

I'm not denying that there isn't that much content in the game, but one person can't generalize for the entire playerbase in saying that there is no replay value.

Now if he would have said

...because at the moment it has no replay value for me...

I probably wouldn't have said anything at all

yes he can

thats called criticism

[Private McDoggy]

yes he can

thats called criticism

So his opinion is the opinion of the entire community?

[IkeTheGeneric]

So his opinion is the opinion of the entire community?

So far, yeah

general consensus is that starbound has no replay value
