One of my finest moments 😂

Maybe.. I played it a long time ago when it was very early on. I thought about playing it again since the dlc came out but haven't gotten around to it yet.

@@Jamesoh ohh space age is not a drug, is crack²

Hopefully one day we can all become sponsored by redbull and we ascend to a greater existence

Thanks!😄Yeah I only hit 400 recently too. To be fair, there's probably lots of other underrated youtubers out there.

They're like a spooky Santa clause. They just don't bring the presents once a year 😌

Which name?

@@Jamesoh It's ChOrnobyl in Ukrainian

He creeped me out. He was up to something

It's what happens in life when you drink too many energy drinks. Life had to nerf them somehow

They'll get somebody to jump a motorbike over the powerplant

ChOrnobyl*

Unfortunately it can never compete with my chill guy though 😭

I see your point but terraria is still a better game than nms

In your opinion, I personally prefer the scope of no man’s sky

VR could be good. I've never played a VR game

@@Jamesoh I've tried it on PS VR. It was interesting for couple of hours, but then i've tried Ace Combat 7 on VR and never looked back.

BROTHER

Also if people ask me what rage bait is I'm sending em a link to this video lol.

What is a rage bait? But yeah, Minecraft is an old game from 2009 which is easily moddable so people can still find new ways to play it. The actual game for the time was pretty revolutionary and thankfully Microsoft haven't really ruined everything. I mean it's basically the gaming version of Lego. Nms is 7 years younger than it. It's been polished up and fixed a lot of issues it originally had in 2016 but it essentially has the same core gameplay loop which is pretty boring and unrewarding. It's a game which tries to do a lot, but fails to do any of it well. I just don't feel you get rewarded for your time spent in the game at all. The warp speed for space flight is still just a point and click on a galaxy map. I'm not sure how that's immersive. Games like Minecraft, subnautica, planet crafter actually feel like an exploration but in no man sky if you're just running to a waypoint or going to a galaxy which looks similar to one of the last few

Yeah I assumed the same thing. They've polished it up and made it shiny but the actual game has stayed the same and haven't really made any attempts to improve it.

Yes exactly. Imagine if they followed it up with an animals update where different planets have different eco systems and have predictors and prey. Carnivorous plants which are hidden and more like traps. Even tribe planets or advanced planets which see you as a scary alien You could even do a big factions update with large consequences on certain sections of a galaxy. It could even be multiplayer related so they're like real factions But it all mostly revolves around improving the core gameplay loop and combat. They also need to do something about the upgrades. I said something similar about the original cyberpunk, nobody wants an upgrade to be a tiny improvement. It should be a substantial change which is very noticeable. Sometimes less is more. Make them rarer, attach them to some fun activities. When you finally acquire the s upgrade it should be like ascending to godmode and it should equally be hard enough to acquire so the effort is rewarded. Like there's no real challenge and there's no substantial reward you get either. Give me a difficult and hard questline which is challenging and hard to accomplish. Don't just pad it out with distance or item requirements. Then at the end give me something crazy like a planet cracker where I can blow up a few planets for fun. There are trillions of them anyway. Let me build a giant space dungeon which people can raid in multiplayer. I put up a few items which are tempting and if they lose I get all of their raid equipment. Or you could make it a basic little mini game where you get something random. But you need powerful items which are rare. There are tonnes of ways to make a game fun. Some more feasible than others but I just doubt they'll ever do it for this game unfortunately

If you want a hook I'm sure you can go fishing in the game

@@Jamesoh so that's why they add fishing in the game.

Yeah planet crafter is a much nicer game. You have an overarching goal and get to see the planet terraform and change into something. It puts more of a focus on the survival aspect with oxygen, food and water. A very big thing is that there's no waypoints until you build a beacon so you can set a home. It not really an adventure if you just tag a place on the map and set a point. It just becomes a run to the waypoint simulator. Exploring offers different resources which helps you build up the planet and open up more parts. the game is a simple idea which was executed well. In contrast no man sky is kind of aimless in its goals and its gameplay feels that way too. They haven't really focused on any part of the game other than, lots and lots of similar planets. I couldn't find anything which stood out and got annoyed by the constant prompts and grinding for resources with little reward. Even the base building doesn't have that much freedom in it. It's actually pretty bad to use since you can't clip through objects in free camera mode and you need to use the clip to objects all of the time since it doesn't know how far away to place the object. It's pretty horrendous to be honest. I tried to make a fancy base with differing levels but because of how strict some of the walkways are, it wouldn't line up or even morph to join correctly. It's all so rigid I completely gave up and made a different base 🥲

I'm impressed at how much time you've saved yourself with that one simple trick. I could genuinely justify this game being called a time wasting simulator Unfortunately based on all the expansions and changes made, I don't think they're ever going to make the game more fun for me personally, so I'll probably never play it again

Yeah pretty much. When everybody was raving about the game, I imagined that they had changed a lot. But they didn't really. I was completely surprised at just how boring the core gameplay loop actually is and how long it takes to do everything. "You can do anything" as long as it only involves zapping rocks with a laser. "You can go anywhere" except it looks the same as the place you were just at. Even the survival aspect is just a tedious annoyance you need to fill up every now and again. Hard/survival mode just makes the game even more annoying to play. Even the base building is glorified Bethesda base building. They should give you a better UI to build and more freedom. You can't be that creative at all. Fighting is space fights are also basic and could be made to more exciting. You never really feel rewarded for spending your time in the game. That's what I meant when I said it was shallow. Every time I tried to find something fun to do, I just found how limited that part of the game was. They need to focus on something at least and make it fun and rewarding to do.

Yep it looks like it. I'll need to find myself a panic room 😂

@Jamesoh A nuclear bunker might be more ideal

I'm not sure if todd Howard will lend me one anymore 😭

Very true! I'm glad you provided the example. 😂 "everyone's entitled to an opinion, even if its dumb and stupid and dumb and wrong"

RUNNNNN they can't get you anymore !

Thank you for your insightful words Gavin

@@Jamesoh lol I read that in your accent and it's quite funny for no reason.

As it turns out a lot of people do find my accent funny. This Gavin guy is actually at the peak of the KZbin comment scene. What he says goes. He's like the old guy from Ratatouille. One day I'll get him to watch a video which reminds him of the good ol' days 🥲

Yeah there's nothing really wrong with liking the game it's just my opinion. Whatever floats your boat. Also how did you get sun in Wigan... It's November and dark at 4pm

I couldn't rightly say it's a very good game. I guess the idea of a good game is kind skewed these days because everything releases broken. But games working should be the baseline of a game and not make it a good game. They've fixed a lot of the issues they originally had but that doesn't make it a good game. What makes a game good is kind of subjective and is different for each person. Generally if the actual gameplay is fun or the game is compelling in some way you can say it's a good game. I did want to like it but I just couldn't find anything. So I can't call it good. Unfortunately I couldn't really get immersed into the world at all. They all feel so lifeless. You get the same loop of ships flying above, animals don't do anything. A lot of worlds look the same. I couldn't get the vibe going at all. I think a lot of open world games run into this issue a bit but no man sky is that big it takes it to another level. It's hard to compete with a hand crafted world which somebody has put time into creating. But if you're vibing keep vibing

You could even say the biggest and best. Just incredible. Everyone’s saying it, and they’re right, believe me. The review is the best you’ve ever seen, very smart, very sharp. He knows the games, he knows what people want, and frankly, nobody does it better. A total winner.

Thanks! It's a good job it's not a strong accent otherwise people wouldn't understand me. Id need to subtitle everything haha

Oh no I really played the game and hated it haha it's a pretty legitimate dislike for the game. Although it's only an opinion. The only reason I kept playing was because I thought it was supposed to become good later on which I later found was wrong. I'm actually normally pretty lenient on games, which shows how much I disliked this game. It's not really for views or subs because I don't have any in the first place 😂.

@@Jamesoh You may have legitimately hated the game, but you did fail to tell us why in a compelling or informative way. The OP is pretty accurate. I haven't played the game but you didn't provide any insight against buying it. You didn't like... that's all I learned here.

@apelike well if you played it you might have more of an idea on why I didn't like it 😂 I guess I didn't list it all since it would be too long and preachy Unfortunately you didn't but it's basically a monotonous grind which is essentially you zapping rocks with a laser to get materials in a generated backdrop which looks the same with a slightly different hue. The other parts are just running into an empty crash site or pressing e on a rock or box to get more resources The UI is very clunky, managing and crafting your inventory is unintuitive. They realised it was bad and added the quick craft feature instead of fixing the original UI The prompts are never ending and can't be turned off. It just keeps appearing for no reason. Let me at least stop them somehow. Base building is very basic and limited in terms of what you can build. It's like Bethesda base building but with a free flying camera. You don't feel like you're building anything unique. There are others to list but even this is getting long... Ultimately the game feels like it actively wastes your time and provides little to no rewards for your time spent. The gameplay is padded with boring monotonous tasks which are all far away. The progression is almost non existent and getting upgrades isn't some mind-blowing change it should be. It has all of the bad parts of an open world game and little of the good. Its a game made for people with unlimited time to waste.

@@Jamesoh Hey... much appreciated, you taking the time to elaborate! I've played "Empyrion" and I loved it and NMS always make me think of that game so I never saw a reason to get NMS, but I do watch these videos to get reasons to buy (or not) and I enjoy reading so you coming here and laying it out in more detail is appreciated and your handling of criticism is admirable. Keep up the good fight.

Yeah I just basically think there are better games people can spend their time playing it's only really my opinion. They can keep playing the game if they want to. It's not like I'm going to turn everything off haha

Yeah I'm not sure how you relax with the constant prompts popping up on the screen. They have tonnes of settings and don't let you disable them. People can like the game but in my opinion there are more relaxing and fun games to play instead

because you lack in iq

Yeah you're allowed to like the game. Just know that you don't have to play the game and can stop playing at any time.

Liked it more then Star citizen. It's a sandbox like minecraft, the vast majority of people won't have any fun playing it but it's still gonna be one of the most played game of all time.

I mean star citizen also looked like an overly ambitious game which was doomed to fail but I've never played it so I don't know. Yes it's a sandbox like Minecraft but that's where the similarities end 😂 Minecraft is probably one of the best games ever made and excels in every way. It actually focuses on building, adventure and survival. It doesn't need prompts or waypoints for adventure. The amount of creativity in building is amazing. The UI is pretty intuitive but needs some mods to help. Enemies are actually dangerous in the game. Redstone is just a crazy thing to add to a game too. Even x4 foundations isn't the best game in the world but it's a sandbox which focuses on the economy system and excelling in that area. I just can't see what no man sky does better than any other game It probably will have lots of people playing the game but the people who play it do seem to have a lot of time on their hands haha

Yeah I just wish they called it a busy work simulator so I'd know to avoid it. I've never played a game which felt like such a waste of time. I don't understand the appeal at all. It's not like the worlds are unique and the graphics aren't good enough for it to be a spectacle. The loop of finding rocks and shooting rocks gets old quick... I bet you could find a more interesting Minecraft space mod

don't tempt me with a good time brother
