23 Minutes of Reasons Why You Should Play No Man's Sky

[@christianking-ev4vj]

This game is Minecraft but in space. There is some fighting from the sky to the ground but not a ton. There is a ton of building and an unlimited amount of exploration just like Minecraft. Fun expeditions to do, different ships to collect, tons of missions. I personally really enjoy this game, especially after playing stressful games like Elden ring, sekiro, dark souls. This game is such a relaxing experience.

[@CoolKidCroc]

@@christianking-ev4vj it hits that niche for me as well, I spent over a thousand hours on Minecraft between Ps3 and Ps4 so I get it. The in game incentives along with it all being able to be unlocked through gameplay progress is a huge factor for me on why it’s so appealing.

[@jcreature11]

⁠@@mangoseed273way more. Minecraft is honestly poop compared lol

[@WhitieWu]

Once I started to build on my freighter, my love for the game really increased. One thing I highly recommend anyone purchase for their freight is the matter relay and the storage containers. Once installed on the freighter, and as long as your freighter is in the same system as you, you can send (or take) any item to/from it. It made item management SO much better.

I just got this game yesterday cause it was on a massive sale and I can’t stop playing it ❤ Absolutely fantastic. There’s so much mystery and magic in this space simulator. You always have so much to learn/discover/build/etc. I don’t know too much about the updates but the latest one (update 5.0) apparently is massive and changes the visuals a lot, so I’m happy that jumped on now. To infinity and beyond my brave explorers ❤

[@devanloll]

how’s the survival aspect, thinking about getting it before the sale ends

[@aceabenroth2245]

I've played countless hours of this game and the thrill of entering a brand new system and not knowing what to expect has still stuck with me. Plenty of games try to make exploration one of their core gameplay pillars and fail, this one does it the best.

Playing since Day 1, i have 2000+ Hours ingame with a lot new starts with every mayor update! You made a nice sum up here!

[@TheHipsterGamer]

Been playing this game since day 1. I have a squid ship and multitool from prior to the NEXT update with boosted stats that are very difficult to replicate with current assets in the game. To get the ship I had to look up coordinates to the Eidolon Hub system. For the multitool I had to trek across a planet in the exocraft 30 minutes each way to a settlement where the experimental multitool was located because I had to use a teleporter to get there, you couldn’t summon your ship on the other side of a portal. It’s called the imperfect mass stabilizer and still my main multitool to this day!

[@GlitchedVision]

one thing I will note though, unlike Minecraft where optimization can be the whole point of a game, making all the farms and the like, if you try that in NMS you'll get bored fast the moment you get it done. NMS is about the journey because the destination is a shallow kiddy pool full of disconnected and disjointed content islands that don't interact with each other very well. An example of this is back a couple years ago, they added pirate raids on planetary sites, including your base. Did they add base defenses to help you deal with the threats? nope, instead when one shows up you either have to hide in a hole so you don't get shot or jump in your ship and deal with it yourself. Companions are useless wastes of screen space that don't do anything and don't even get me started on how close to 0 the overall dps of your wing is, even with 4 wingmates... Oh, and that rare staff you gotta put 20+ hours into the game to get, yeah, don't bother unless you just like the way it looks because it's just like every other multitool, nothing special. These complaints being said up front, I'm currently playing through again from a fresh save because this game is just so pretty and chill that i can't seem to stay away lol... if you haven't played yet, you should and if you fell off, now's a nice time to come back because of the complete visual overhaul. My only overarching complaint though is that HG would rather focus on fomo and new shiny cosmetics than actually fixing the underlying systems that irritate long time players. Expeditions should be playable whenever people want, not just time limited events with rewards that are completely unobtainable any other way, but That's just a personal opinion from someone who thinks Diablo seasons are a waste of time lol... Edit: forgot to mention that settlements rarely give you anything useful, in fact I have a hilarious story about a time where i abandoned a settlement because they literally wanted to give me a pile of crap for helping them :D (that's what fecium is...)

[@clocked0]

"If you try that in NMS you'll get bored fast the moment you get it done" ...So just like Minecraft then, nothing's changed there.

[@FHT1883]

agreed, companions are cute but they should be able to do more things. settlements need a way to add more populace faster. settlements also need air and ground defense turrets that actually help you in combat.

[@tctt185_dg]

This game is the Space Sandbox that YOU MUST PLAY. True, it had a trashy launch that got reviewed bombed back in 2016, but with the frequent updates to the game in terms of content and quality additions, it REALLY is THE BEST Space game you'll need to play to appreciate it. And the cool thing is that there is NO Paid DLCs, all FREE Updates. That last bit became basically a meme at this point whenever Sean Murray releases an update. Everyone is now like "No Murray! We have money. Take it!", and he's like "Nope. It's FREE Update Day!" The community here is also solid too. Very chill and just having fun with the game. You can do basically anything. Explore Worlds, Complete Missions, Fight Monsters, Befriend new Companions, Make Cool Farms, and ESPECIALLY Fabricate Starships. You can even become a Haggler in the Anomaly with players around and just sit around. Sometimes you get gifted some stuff in your inventory. We as veteran players now that completed the Main Story Missions (which I HIGHLY Recommend doing if you haven't done it) have LOTS of stuff that we don't want and even maxed out inventory slots. Besides, feels good gifting to a player something that might help them out with whatever they're planning on doing. You can even do Missions with Players from The Nexus if you so wish. Note for those that are unsure. Units are Main Currency for Purchases from Shops. Nanites are for Technology Upgrades. Quicksilver is Nexus Exclusive stuff like cool capes, custom appearances, unique base parts, titles, and even little bobble heads. Man, I so want to get a little bobble head of Polo. I play pretty much as a Gek, they're adorable and I relate to them. Also, if you use Twitch often... keep an eye out for Twitch Drops and have it active. We have been getting these quite often lately and you can get some pretty good stuff. You pick them up from the Quicksilver robot guy near The Nexus right of the Expedition Terminal. That is also where you spend your Quicksilver at.

[@balintszeder6455]

The thing that would comvince me to play is story missions. Something star wars like would be amazing like you meet a friend and you go to other ships to steal but they catch you and there would be an ecaping part. Or big ships appear on the planet you live on becouse they want to take the planet but you and your team try to stop them or something.

I'm not too certain, often I just check on the settlement and it's always under attack haha

[@TabalugaDragon]

@@CoolKidCroc is your settlement on Aggressive Sentinel planet or a standard one?

[@jonathangebert3006]

All depends on where your settlement is located. If you're a planet with high sentinel activity, it's common to have a regular sentinel start attacking while you fight the purple ones, which will spawn more regulars. There's also one section of the LAYLAPS mission that has you take down a a sentinel mech so he may have been in the middle of that one.

[@FHT1883]

You can hack quicksilver into the game extremely easily. Game save editors. I don't think it's ok, but figured I'd mention since you said the only way is to spend time. I don't think it's against the rules either

Would be cool if that nice cape can be seen by your friends but sadly this bug has been running for 6 years straight smh the missions in nexus are the same since Luanch and once you seen 10 planets you have seen entire universe same for animals buldings and plants ..making exploration pointless ..base building is good but a hit or miss when trying to show a base to friends doesn't load or its over run by terrain

[@andreimoga2776]

So not to shit on everybody s experience because we all play different games and we play them for different reasons. However i think its important to mention or to specify that most of the stuff u talked about is collecting, building decour stuff and spaceships. I played this game for about 300 hours to collect spaceships. I was interested in designs and wanted the coolest looking ones. This happened in 2020. I came accross ur video cause I was interested what was new with the game and if they had brought in more elements to the game. And imma be honest, scanning plants and petting animals is fun for like the first couple planets or first couple hours. After that u start building and so on. After that u re practically done. I remember one of the reasons i stopped playing this game was the lack of activity. I already had spaceships, farmed resources, got money for said resources, and after a point its just staring at empty space and driving spaceships aimlessly. Cool with some music in the background and definitely relaxing. However I cannot recommend this game and its grind to everybody. For me personally (i know, sue me for having an opinion) this game was cool. It had exactly what I needed when I played it, it delivered, I sent screenshots to friends, i was happy. But seeing the same stuff after 4 years is a bit dissapointing. I expected to implement more game mechanics and gameplay maybe some action, more mining experience, more interaction with a faction or controlled area... anything. Instead now i look at this game and all I see is how im going to get bored again after 10 hours. Trigger alert this is my opinion.

Why can’t u recommend a game u played for 300 hours lmao

Stale, repetitive, and lifeless.

How can this game be so amazing if I can travel to multiple worlds in different galaxies and see almost the same flora and fauna with exactly the same features and the same sfx? I do want to love this game, but it almost always feels like I'm wandering around the same stage but encountering slightly different cardboard props....

[@princeywissy]

I don't see those as problems or things that detract from the life of the game. Obviously I would appreciate more fauna variety and I appreciate that they added some but it does - in no way at all - genuinely make the game less fun to play. I don't think it's repetitive I find many different things to do every time I play the game and the different ways that you can solve every problem makes it an interesting experience.

[@Whoooooo676]
