i really want to buy this, but I regret so many $60 titles. It's not like that's a huge amount of money, but if I waste it on something I don't love I honestly feel really bad about it later. Like, I don't think I'm ever gonna get over Fallout 4.
Bethesda was talking about how Skyrim has infinite quests and stuff.
It's got nothing on No Man's Sky.
Uh, the difference would be that Skyrim's world was actually crafted with care and delicate work, not a machine. I would never tire of exploring Skyrim.
Skyrim doesn't have infinite quests, just a lot. I've played 400 hours and never beat the campaign
lmao. exploring is an objective in and of itself for a lot of people.
yea, when the world is hand-crafted to stay interesting. I've never seen a game where procedural generation maps were anything beyond eye-candy to examine between objectives. I don't think this game will hold up.
Like, they are putting way too much focus on exploration, because you will never make that insanely interesting after a few hours. The real focus needs to be on the actual quests and survival aspects of the game
if you want a game that's heavily based off Science Fiction, with a similar aspect of exploration, I'd recommend you try out Pulsar: Lost Colony. It's a co-op game (I've bought 3 copies of it so far) where you and 5 other people operate a pretty large starship. The ship is pretty complicated, though not as much as it should be--you can figure out pretty much every role in an hour. You can go to select locations on planets, that are prebuilt by devs, so they are all interesting and unique. The downside is that there's like, 40 of them.
but its' highly early access, and every update is huge and substantive, adding new planets, ships, modules, enemies, ect. I doubt it will ever be super-polished, but I think in time it will become extremely fun in it's complexity and depth.
