MORPHITE - No Man's Sky But Good

The game has a fox with a mustache, a stegosaurus, and a LOT of chunks!

Aren't you that guy? ... what's your name... the big one... the guy who speaks loudly and has a hard on for Randy Shitsford.

[@TheGodEmperorOfMankind_]

That British guy, right?

[@Ascyltos]

Nahhh, his name is Tim Furling, or something like that.

[@Kokopilau77]

It’s Angry Joe, right? He’s a “big guy” that’s always “angry.”

Is this chunks?

Well of course you don't recognize the fox, Jim. It's wearing a disguise!

[@Internet_Guy99]

No Man's Sky(steam) $59.99 Morphite(Steam) SPECIAL PROMOTION! Offer ends September 27 -15% $12.74 okay then

[@StewartHiggins]

I got NMS for ~$27CAD when it was on its SPECIAL PROMOTION not too long ago. NMS was worth that. This doesn't look like I'd be pleased if I'd spent the $14.44CAD.

[@Voodoo_S3]

and doesn't it just look like a $10 game

[@joegomes2725]

At least the developers of Morphite know how to properly judge the worth of their product when selling it to unknowing consumers.

[@Voodoo_S3]

That's debatable, I wouldn't pay over $10 for a NMS clone that has less features and worse graphics than NMS. I doubt morphite will be getting new features and support over a year after release. NMS's developed into a damn good game, but I guess it's not cool for critiques to revisit a game once its finished and is simply easier for them to mock and unfinished product at release. So from now lets judge every game on day 1 and before any possible fixes have been applied.

[@azurebookllet9216]

Morphite also runs on IOS, while NMS doesn't, so there's that. Also, whether or not NMS became a good game is far from settled. Here's a take from someone who did revisit it after the first two updates, but gave up before the third one: www.quora.com/Is-No-Mans-Sky-good-now/answer/Lu-Jes%C3%BAs

[@Red88Rex]

"I'm going down there to deal with the crabs" is not typically a sentence you want to hear yourself saying.

[@zanon__]

"The Mysterious of the Universe has yet to be solved..." ??? Shouldn't it be "mysteries" ?

[@ollieb9875]

Zanon you could just remove the "of the" I suppose too.. 😶

[@mytruepower2]

No. It should be "mystery." "The *mystery* of the Universe has yet to be solved."

[@ollieb9875]

mytruepower2 The mysterious universe is yet to be solved 🙃😁

[@mytruepower2]

If the universe is a puzzle of some sort, perhaps.

[@QuietWookie]

A quite fitting excerpt from a steam review of this game: " i have been too long chasing this fabled "NMS done right" and i have always come out empty handed... this is no exception, this is NOT like No Man's Sky AT ALL. [...] The opening of the game hints a lot about NMS... the ships, the space stations, the space traveling setting, even the drop pods look the same, and this about as similar as they get. -You can't fly your ship, just pick a solar system, and then planets/space stations from a menu, the ship will get you there and drop you off in a escape pod. -The planets are not planets, they are just walled and closed areas, with platforms, switches to press, creatures to kill, and loot to get, it's all pretty linear and completely different from the planets from NMS"

[@QuietWookie]

source: steamcommunity.com/id/dirak2012/recommended/661740/ (he does recommend the game though)

[@JimSterling]

Hahaha, oh man.

[@QuietWookie]

well the title is just so.... not fitting.

[@bigbirb1679]

Jim Sterling Shut your fat ass up you pale marshmallow looking fuck.

[@DeusMachina_EXE]

I say the closest thing you can get, if you don't mind it being 2D, is Starbound. Heck, with one of the more recent patches you can even visit other ships and debris fields. But it's like a mix of terraria and NMS.

[@DarknessPrevails]

Somebody had to do it. It's a shame it wasn't No Man's Sky. You know, the game that promised greatness but lied.

[@vaudevillain_2]

Not really lol

[@Aquadood23]

STOP BEING EVERYWHERE

[@TheFingledorf]

Whoa, I didn't expect to see you here. I like your stories/voice, I just wish there weren't so many repeats.

[@doommaker4000]

They are costantly updating it, apparently it is much, much better now.

[@KashouWannabe]

*If the PUBG devs and publishers had created No Man's Sky* "This game is copying us! How dare they make a space exploration game! We created that genre!! We own the rights to it, even on games that came out over 20 years before we were born!!!"

[@famoussession7426]

LeiFlux07 Not funny even if it's bs with what happened

[@ovalcircle2648]

The President virgin confirmed.

[@inanimatesum4945]

Uhhh you do realize the devs helped make the battle royale genre for two shitty games and decided to make their own full game which was good, and now we have Epic games(Hi-Rez 2) copying them to milk all that sweet bandwagon cash? They wouldn't have said anything if Epic Games had at least decided to do this about a year later to revive interest again instead of riding their dicks. Its literally the same shit with what happened with Paladins. Out of ideas? See what's getting the most hype and copy/paste a game together to milk it. All the controversy it starts causes more players to try it out instead of avoid it, and nowadays act like hipsters saying its totally cooler than the other games.

[@wixardo]

Chris You are braindead. Games aren't developed over night, both overwatch and paladins were in development at the same time. Neither games copied one another yet there are dumb sheep like you saying Paladins copied OW because OW is more popular. If Paladins ended up more popular then you'd be calling OW the copycats right now. Lmao what a joke.

[@KashouWannabe]

"Helped create the Battle Royale genre"? Erm, no. As a game mode, it predates PUBG by quite a number of years. There are several games and mods for games with BR in mind. (Take a look at one of SidAlphas recent videos for examples) And really all BR is is an open world Deathmatch, not exactly pushing the envelope. Maybe PUBG should go after ID Software for the DM mode in Doom and Quake?

[@adamriley2417]

Beautiful way to address your viewers Jim

[@lunasophia9002]

I have to admit that I laughed pretty hard at "just messing with you", which is more joy than NMS will ever bring me.

[@megsbud]

I've heard that, waiting for a sale to grab it still tho

[@rolhnschmidt8780]

Stop lying for them, we all know its a piece of shit game.

[@ImperatorZed]

If you want NMS done right (and get eye cancer) go play Noctis.

[@rolhnschmidt8780]

NMS Can never be perfectly decent, it will always be shit regardless of what updates and patches it gets. Now if the game was released as it was supposed to be with all the bells and whistles that was promised, than it would be at this point perfectly decent.

[@reloadpsi]

ConManliness Mate, there are people who praise Sonic 06, so you'll forgive us for taking it with a pinch of salt.

[@fleafriend]

"Oh boy, here I go scanning people again!"

[@david-spliso1928]

Now No Man's Sky is EXCELLENT 👌👍

[@Geoff69420]

I hope an update to this game introduces the Cornla Homunculus.

[@slendy9600]

xof49 thatd be a spicy brand deal for the devs

[@rosehess6239]

I got a lovely shiver down my spine watching this It feels more like a stylized Metroid Prime game, than No Man's Sky. Which is frankly a wonderful thing if you're making a space based exploration game.

[@azurebookllet9216]

It's also available on IOS.

[@RAFMnBgaming]

I was getting that too and i've never played Metroid Prime.

[@ollieb9875]

Robert Neville and Linux 😊😊😊

[@OptiJams]

I feel like space exploration games have a lot of potential. I've been playing starbound recently and I feel like other games that give us the freedom of exploring planets could give us a lot of variety. thanks for making me aware of this game, i'll check it out

[@fantabulisticous]

should have named your character CHUNKus!! *drops mic*

[@sonikmuff]

Where's all the promises of what it's gonna do?!?!?

[@boiledelephant]

It'll have factions, clans, massive multiplayer battles, fleets, character customization, skill tiers, hot Earl Grey tea coming out of the walls, the works. They're all in the next patch.

[@TheGodvszombies]

boiledelephant When is that next patch coming? It’s been 4 months so far.

[@deltaflash7889]

Pink Guy hes joking ffs

[@TheGodvszombies]

Tom Proctor Hahaha omg it’s so funny...haha Dude I wish I could understand your humour... haha 😒

[@AdeelTariq0]

That must be a new genre by now: No Man's Sky But Good

[@zimriel]

we already had that back in the 1980s. it was called 'starflight'. binary systems and electronic arts used a wormhole to go into the future, and when they played some hours of NMS they said to themselves, my god this is shit, let us get back to the 1980s right now and do it right so that nobody will dare make a spaceX game this shit again.

[@TheSocialGamer]

I appreciate the games you showcase on your channel. Some of the titles aren't even mentioned by the mainstream sites. I have purchased many titles based on game play footage you've presented on this very channel. Many thanks and wish you continued success on what ever endeavors you aim for.

[@ulasht1]

Love how it's a video about Morphite but KZbin algorythms has it advertised as no man's sky....

Man when you said you always sound sarcastic, you weren't kidding. I feel this art style lends exploring a weird varied universe

[@cpt.keaton]

I know people constantly shit on unity but this game (and other games like grow home) prove how the engine can be stylistically beautiful. The smoothness of polygons and lighting mixed with the use of bright colors has always been really appealing to me.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Cpt. Keaton People shit on Unity because they don't know that with game engines today, it's the graphical design of the game that determines the visuals. We're far beyond "engine limitations".

[@DBumple]

Woah. This takes so many things from metroid prime and it makes me so happy!!!

[@CarlSlime]

People in the comments need to stop praising NMS for what it is now. What kind of precedent is that going to set if a game takes over a fucking year to become even half of what it promised and you people just drink it up like a bunch of dehydrated dogs? Hey AAA games industry, if you give us a piece of shit glued together by lies and hype but you make it *eventually* somewhat resemble the thing we were promised, it's a-okay!

[@joegomes2725]

It just goes to show there's more than one sucker born every minute. Hello Games deserves .2% of a golf clap for actually developing content, at the most. People gave me hell over the fact that the "updates" are free and not paid for. Jesus fucking christ, the game is STILL $60 on Steam over a year later, a price tag that is very rare for *even AAA games to ask for*. Not only is their argument shit due to that content NOT being free, but content promised a year ago for being in the original launch, but their argument is shit because these fucking suckers would PAY FOR IT ANYWAY! With glee! With a fucking skip in their step, ready to scream at any criticism and show the world their passion for fucking stupid.

[@GmrLeon]

[@zoltanz288]

X'Elias of Rivia Um dude this is the norm now. Every game is like this. It comes out and its a buggy bare as bones pos and after a year or two it becomes what it was suposed to be.

[@ShamanEffect]

I agree, although I will give Hello Games some credit. They didn't just drop it and forget it. They continued to support it long after release, so that does tell me that they are at least trying to make it work. I may eventually decide to get it.

[@ShamanEffect]

...? Wait, sorry, did I miss something? I thought I said I probably would get around to it one day. Was the reply meant for me, or did KZbin tell me about a reply to someone else's comment? Sometimes their system confuses me.

[@kickingmagpie]

"You press F to change your weapon" No Jim, you press F to pay respects. Have you learned NOTHING all these years?! :D

[@Danbotology]

I don't like the names they give things in this game.

[@joshuagannon6566]

Liked for the fabulous mustachioed vulpine. More games need foxes in general, but to go the extra mile to give a fox a mustache is a sign of high game quality and effort.

[@Starman_Dx]

I REQUIRE MORE FOXES WITH MUSTACHES! Where do I insert chunks!?

[@marvellousm]

Should have called the video "A Fucking Fox With a Mustache" I like that this has some light Metroid Prime influences.

[@ask5118]

For what it's worth, Jim, NMS is actually decent after all the updates they've put out. There's a shell of multiplayer, and living on one planet is much easier now. Still doesn't excuse the botched launch, but just saying

[@BenneyR]

Plus they are going to keep working on it! The multiplayer it has is just the beginning and eventually we should end up getting full-fledged multiplayer.

[@B_Skizzle]

Exactly. It may not be great but it’s definitely pretty good.

[@averagesoul8256]

A S K the survival is super unbalanced without mods thus makin a chore to play

[@Tearonex]

It's too bad most people will continue to shit on NMS because of that botched launch...

[@RemixedVoice]

A S K I think it's by principle. People felt cheated and lied to when the game launched (and they were cheated and lied to), so they don't care if it's good now because they don't want to support developers who fuck consumers.

[@BoredOfThisSite]

"Don't take my chunks from me! My chunks are all I have!" Why has that had be laughing hard for the last 2 minutes straight?

[@cyjan3k823]

I like low poly And Disney kind graphic, i dont know like but for me it is better than this tryhard realistic one And I have good PC, i just like games like that.

[@blindbeholder9713]

This is more like Metroid Prime

[@blindbeholder9713]

Julian Salazar ... what. It is. It's got the scanning and the lock on aiming and the space travel is the same as 3.

[@trikky2.2]

Of course NMS caused this .... They just ran with something that was in the press and copied the idea but with low poly. Not going to buy it now, but will look out for some more game play just in case it is worth it. Somehow doubt it, but will wait and see :)

[@ColonelGoogy]

I think this might be the funniest video Jim has made so far.

[@Fenir8]

I find it intriguing the group of about 10 people who seem to be "patrolling" the comment section to make sure everyone knows "how great nms is now".. How a game that so thoroughly betrayed it's player base could inspire that "dedication" is amazing to watch, in a slow motion car wreck sort of way, lol (which is obviously the point of the video, thanks Jim XD). P.s. I assume this is your way to respond to what I can only guess must have been an influx of emails saying "OMG Jim have you looked at NMS recently!!? Update (whatever) is amazing and hello games did nothing wrong!!!11!!" After committing to not covering NMS any more.. So thanks for that, gave me a laugh :).

[@TheGreatRakatan]

NMS still isn't a good game. It just is more content in a shit game.

[@Wveth]

Hello Games doing the absolute least they can do after fucking everybody over is not cause for celebration or praise. They're doing the job obscenely late after lying through their teeth. That should lose them their damn jobs.

[@boxfetish]

Yep. Little brown-nosing sycophants. They love to slobber all over Sean Murray's junk. Repeatedly. Just sad. They are 100% the reason these scumbag developers continue to release broken garbage. Pro tip: Hello Games is doing the very least possible to try to make amends for their b.s.

[@Hey_Revolver]

Yeah Screw HG for making a huge mistake with their 1st ever major game, but support EA and Ubi for screwing us with every single game they make. HG is fixing the game but meh too late, coz redemption is a new word to me. Normies and casual intellect.

[@Evnyofdeath]

Point out where they said they support EA and Ubisoft.

[@Donovaneagle2098]

So Jim is the living embodyment of my sense of humor. I just realized that.

[@abyssmo8692]

Did you mean Starbound?

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

The game that was better in its alpha state?

[@Retrofire-47]

Starbounds a fucking masterpiece far as I'm concerned. Don't know what your talking about.

[@thaumly]

Ulysses it was alot more fun in early access

[@Retrofire-47]

+Thaums How though honest question?

[@thaumly]

Ulysses its weird, there was a dynamic temperature system with cold resistant armor (infantry set) that they removed, best of all was a lack of a story or outpost, although it was still a bit linear in its progression. It really just comes down to the fact that i could play the alpha anytime versus now where i feel like gouging my eyes out whenever i have to play through the story. Ive played through and beaten both the alpha and the full release and honestly if you were to ask me I had a lot more fun in alpha

[@MrDeothor]

"MORPHITE - No Man's Sky But Good" HAH you almost got me! lol

[@Warkind]

It really just looks like budget bin NMS.

[@Hey_Revolver]

Lol. Casual

[@sovietninja6865]

Ignorant much

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Deep'N'Dirty Max Payne 1 is absolute gold. That's a cowardly comparison.

[@DeusExMachina130]

What if I told you to some people first impressions are everything?

[@legion999]

Kieran V Not really comparable, but yeah, me too.

[@2HeadedHero]

While we were a little more divided on Morphite, it was overall a fairly well crafted experience despite running into some bugs and questionable UI choices - you can check out first impressions on our channel as well if you're curious to see how the Steam version operates. :D

[@blahblah7720]

This is funny because i just came back from playing this game..I shoot a mineral crystal with my gun and the game crashed lolz!

[@KingCalb]

Blahblah lol

[@philmysterious7176]

A+ chunk commentary. Chunk/10. Would chunk again.

[@illustriouschin]

I don't see how this is better than No Man's Sky when this is just the same thing only less.

[@bigbirb1679]

Gordon Chin Much less ambience as well.

[@bigbirb1679]

He’s just trying to get views from the title.

[@miloslajic4579]

Delivering on the small scope is usually more enjoyable and tighter experience, than under-delivering on a huge scope.

[@bigbirb1679]

Milos Lajic Opinion

[@fancyform]

Less is more in this case, it's not an endless mess of boring.

[@IrrationalBees]

I played this game about 3/4 if the way through, loving it the entire time, except for a few things. There were the the obvious bugs of exposed edges of the map, walls you can sometimes walk through, AI pathing, and other little quirks. But what really killed it for me I'm going to say this in the most spoiler-free way possible. I was carrying a plot item in front of my character then I fell in a pit to my death. When I respawned at the checkpoint, the plot item was no longer there, and there was no way left to continue the game.

[@joaopaulo-ms5it]

How is this better than no man's sky?

[@slendy9600]

joao paulo they delivered what they said they would

[@falconJB]

It costs $13, you spend a lot less time just sitting and waiting to get to the place you are going, there are more varied and interesting characters, upgrades, puzzles, worlds and creatures, and a better story.

[@flightlesschicken7769]

Foxes with mustaches, giant land crabs and Metroid Prime elements! Is there literally anything else you could want?

[@lookatmeloony]

This thing feels almost like No Man's Metroid Prime.

[@hellopants123]

I'm so glad this one's coming to the switch as well

[@dreammfyre]

What kind of noob game is this? Aiming is for Big Boys Only.

[@MarginalSC]

No Man's Sky would send casuals crying to their mommies. This is consolized NMS!

17:24 "so unfortunately coundn't scan that because it was kicking our ass" lmao.

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

Blows my motherfucking mind out the back of my skull when I see people still defending NMS. But then again people still defend Trump, so defending the indefensible has a market.

[@Vampshroom420]

This is why gaming is turning into shit. The people defending no mans sky are the problem. They are the reason AAA games now have microtransactions. They are the reason there are shady devs,ect,ect,ect.... I wont be a part of it. No mans sky will continue going down in history as the biggest flop of a game ever created and i REFUSE to let them come back from it.

[@Hey_Revolver]

HitchensImmortal You have to be a special kind of idiot for hating Hello Games for improving NMS "for free". Did gearbox do that to Alien Colonial Marines?

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

Thank you for reinforcing my point.

[@Hey_Revolver]

Its not as if HG abandoned tha game after taking your precious dollars. Yes there were devs who did that, and HG isnt one of em. Why are you so close minded as to even hating a dev team that tried and is even at the moment trying real hard to correct their mistakes? I too hate shady dev practices, but why not let this lone dev team get a pass since theyre the only ones really working their butts off to compensate for the awful release? Hating on and on is the reason peace can never be achieved. You are just blindly hating in general and think it is justifiable no matter the difference in circumstances.

[@Hey_Revolver]

A dev team tries to redeem themselves by fixing and adding things for free and still youre already pointing aaaah shady dev practices!! Like you know the real score. We are all together with trying to extinguish shady dev practices, but this mess HG was in clearly isnt a dark scheme. It was obviously a rookie mistake for an indie dev getting a huge spotlight a little to quickly. A shady practice would be, wrap NMS up and announce theyll be making NMS2 or release a DLC for 19.99. but no. They didnt ask for a single dime for free content and promised more. Still that is shady for you? Come on. Get off that hate bandwagon and think clearly.

[@ferret1warfair]

I’m glad you played this game Jim because I was thinking about buying it but I wasn’t sure

[@Exploited89]

Better than NMS? The only thing better is the quest system...the rest seems equally boring to me! And NMS one year later, with all the updates, is a lot better than before...

[@tljoshh]

I was just thinking this, it doesn't seem that different from NMS at all

[@TheGreatRakatan]

A lot better than "completely, mindnumbingly boring and woefully unfinished" is just "really boring and lacking in content.

[@Exploited89]

TheGreatRakatan Ahaha yeah... but still better than before :D

[@NafenX]

My shit is better when I eat healthier and balance my diet...It's still shit, though.

[@HaloInverse]

NMS actually _has_ a sidequest/mission system now, as well as a few fairly involved "main story threads" which can be progressed in sequence, in parallel, or ignored. It's fair to say that this game is _much_ better than NMS's _original_ release, but is merely parallel to NMS's _current_ state. Whether or not replacing open-world planets with linear maps is an _improvement_ is a matter of taste. Just goes to show how _sticky_ early bad impressions can be - much of NMS's current criticism is literally _a year out of date._ Granted, Sean Murray took some _excessive_ liberties with his description of the game prior to launch, but a lot of the originally "missing features" have been added to the game since then. It's starting to catch up to the PR fluff. Really, the 2016 release _should_ have been "Early Access/WIP", but that release model wasn't compatible with Sony's marketing for physical game media.

[@GrandNoble]

i don't typically like watching ppl play games, just looking for gameplay footage cuz i might buy on xbox right now. but i ended up watching the whole thing. pretty funny

[@XOLiD55]

Eh I'll still stick with Elite: Dangerous.

[@insertatitlehere13]

The idea of Jim as a space explorer impudently firing at flies with a plasma gun is perhaps one of the best mental images a game has ever given me.

[@Baleur]

No mans sky but ugly. Nah. But honestly NMS is quite nice and stunningly beautiful now especially with mods mods mods. I consider it much like the Total War games or Kerbal Space Program, kinda ok vanilla, but amazing with mods stacked on. The one downside though is that most NMS mods only tweak gameplay or visuals, they dont / cant add more interesting gameplay systems, so its still very much just about harvesting resources and exploring for the sake of seeing pretty planets. But there is a place for games like that too, definetly. If you expect a planet exploration kinda ABZU or Journey, then NMS is great. If you expect an EVE Online or Freelancer, then it is fucking garbage.

[@JimPlaysGames]

Rodina is another one to keep an eye on. Still in early access, but it looks like it has potential as a space exploration game.

[@borderlinebunk8741]

NMS looks way better which is why I haven't found a replacement for it yet. I think they'll continue to beef that game up until it's really worth playing.

[@kdx82]

iv been following Crescent Moon Games since i played " The Deer God " i love the music and sound design. this game surprised me with its quality.

[@cptmiche]

This game isn't nearly as good as no mans sky.... Not after it's 543657 updates that made it a pretty good game.

[@apassinghobo]

It does cost a quarter of the price though and you don't have to wait for it to update into a state where its enjoyable.

[@influentialdiscovery592]

No Man's Sky is amazing now. Give it a shot!

[@Roverdrive_X]

Yeah, I'll be sure to spend $60 giving *No Man's Sky* 'a shot'.

I have No Man's Sky. Even after only the first 3:30 of this vid, Morphite is definitely a more full fledged game than NMS, even in NMS's currently updated state.

[@JM_Traslo]

Woah Jim, there was no need to compare anything positive to NMS. That offends the developers.

[@influentialdiscovery592]

No Man's Sky is amazing now. Give it a shot!

[@BockworschtSoldier]

With a awesome space exploratin game like Starbound in my Library, I expect a lot of games like this. Maybe Morphite is this what I am looking for.

[@LetsPlayCrazy]

I will bring up a very VERY unpopular opinion: No Mans Sky is actually a pretty good game after the patches they delivered. Still not perfect... but the game itself is quite good and has a lot more potential

[@KerbosYT]

AFTER!!!!!!! that's the fucking key word, sucker, they lied right at ur fucking face on launch, to my eyes they can patch a 10/10 game, but they fucking lied and I'd rather throw my money at a firepit b4 giving it to this crocks and basically saying "it's ok to bruteforce my ass with a spiky titanium dildo if you give me flowers tomorrow".

[@LetsPlayCrazy]

calm down geez. I didnt buy it... but of what i played in patch 1.3 it actually was quite enjoyable. And I didnt say anything about the lying part... and in contrast to what most ppl think, I believe they were forced by sony to release it early and all features promised were actually meant to be in the game! I feel like them still patching the game long after its failure kinda redeems them of their failure. If they keep patching it... look at it like an EA title... unfinished with promises of a better finished product.

[@fancyform]

Nah, it's not even close to being good. It is better than it was on release, but that's not saying much, is it? There's a long way to go before a game that is awful and boring turns into something good and fun to play. NMS will never be that game. You probably have to much time on your hands if you're gonna waste it on such a lackluster game.

[@LetsPlayCrazy]

I think Fallout IV was a bad game. Ppl have different opinions. And since the 1.3 Patch its actually a game that you can play and have fun with. Its flawed like crazy. BUT its not as bad as most would make it out to be. And I'm pretty sure you haven't played it since release... if you ever played it.

[@HentMas]

I love the fact that this video haves "No Man's Sky" in the suggestion box XD

[@markwulf]

If your looking for No Mans Sky, but good get Elite Dangerous.

[@Cybeldar]

Xouram Markwulf been looking to get it. Some people found it boring, but have heard good things about it.

[@arlosteiner8382]

One of the worst titles for a game.

[@sovietninja6865]

Arlo Steiner that’s false

[@influentialdiscovery592]

I've tried really hard over the space of a year and a half to like and enjoy this game, but each time I boot it up, I force myself to endure another hour or two before putting it back down and playing something else. Let me just start by saying that I don't think this is a bad game, it just doesn't cater to my particular needs, and it doesn't appeal to my timescales and out of gaming lifestyle. For a game that showcases non-stop action in it's trailers, please don't buy into this game expecting your experience to represent this footage as a whole. The majority of your time is spent by running trade missions from A to B, or escorting cargo from A to B, or flying from A to kill the target at B (are you seeing a pattern emerge yet?) Between these missions, you'll spend a lot of your time travelling in dead space, engaging in combat zones (which usually involves simply locking onto a target, and pew-pew while dodging their pew pew, fly past each other, turn around and repeat), and occassionally being pulled from warp-speed by an NPC or another player. All of these features just completely miss the mark for me, and none of them feel fully fleshed out in a way that compels me to focus on one above the others. Planetary landings, while a novelty the first few times, become boring incredibly quickly once you realise that the majority of the planets have the same washed and barren look, and have next to nothing to actually do on them. After farting around a bit in your land vehicle, you'll then make your way to get back into your ship, before hitting orbit and wondering which of the many A to B points you'll like to fly to next, before realising that the experience is practically pointless. For me, I don't see any sense of reward from this game other than "Make more money from X so I can buy a bigger ship, then I can make even more money so I can then look at buying that even bigger ship". Beyond that, I don't feel like there is any other ultimate point to this game. Exploration feels incredibly drawn out and dull, with little sense of a wow factor, and the only reward is currecy, which again, you'll end up putting to one side to get that bigger ship, although at this point you're not even sure why you want it. Elite Dangerous is a fun experience for the first few hours, when everything is fresh and new. But once the novelty wears thin, there's a chance you may end up seeing this as the unrewarding grind-fest that I did. There are many people out there that enjoy this game, and I'm envious of you. However, this game is just simply not for me.

[@NoWonderDuh]

Loved the commentary 🤣 fox with a mushe

[@Leahi84]

Jim, have you seen NMS lately? It’s a hell of a lot better. They’ve added an awful lot and are still working on it.

[@xshadowscreamx]

Crono21 most people have moved on though, devs should not expect everyone to wait until their game gets good.

[@J3f3R20n]

I don't get that depending on the game, some people will bash the devs for forgetting about it and move on, like EA did with Mass Effect: Andromeda. And that game was "better" than NMS. A couple of months of negativity and EA closed the studio and put the franchise on hiatus. lol At least Hello Games, despite all the lies and false advertising, they are trying to improve the game even before the negativity of its launch. It shows that at least they care about their games which in the current state of this industry is something to be respected. And the amount of content they added between Foundation Update from last year and the new Atlas Risemakes it pretty much an NMS 2.0. It's not about "waiting untill it gets good" but just giving another go to acknowledge their effort to make the game better.

[@DogginsFroggins]

Nah its actually about lying to consumers.

[@stephenoldham886]

The difference is EA is a publisher that shuts down studios and attempts to destroy studios for shits and giggles; Hello Games is a studio and NMS is all they have so if they do not fix it their studio would be no more. Even after fixing it people would be wary of the studio if it were to release any other titles so continuing to work on NMS is the only thing they can do to salvage what they can of their reputation.

[@strawman5300]

Jeff Herc they did jack shit to fix som of the biggest problems. The game stil has shitty passing and the menu's are stil ass.

[@BlargleRagequit]

[@BenneyR]

Jim Sterling Have you thought about making a follow-up video on No Man's Sky? The game has improved a great deal and it was all done for free as well.

[@LocalContentShow]

You can't say "all done for free as well" as a point of persuasion when the things that are "all done" are half-baked attempts at adding in some of the things they lied about having in the first place.

[@Rakmarok]

Local Content Half-Baked?

[@LocalContentShow]

Unfinished. As in the multiplayer that the game was sold on where you could meet up with a friend has been *kind of* added at last, except they've only got it working to the point where the second player appears as a floating orb that can't affect your world in any way.

[@TheDarkendstar]

nfsinternational So they are giving free content for a 60 dollar game that realsed with a 30 dollar value amazing!

[@bigbirb1679]

TheDarkendstar Game is worth $60 now. It’s being sold for less though. Around $30 - $40

[@IkkoArts]

If only it had 65daysofStatic's music for its soundtrack, it would be the game we were promised years ago but never got.

[@Baleur]

Ok so lets just look at this objectively, what exactly does this game indeed do BETTER than NMS (shouldnt be a hard ask). Chronologically from watching the video. Lets fucking do something properly instead of just meme'ing it up. 1. Harvesting minerals is even more boring than in NMS. 2. Scanning things is even slower and more dreary than in NMS. 2.2 No details after scanning. 2.3 Cant scan and shoot at the same time. 3. Even more dull gunplay than NMS, how that is possible i dont know. 4. More interesting building interiors with actual "puzzles" than NMS, nice there but to be expected from a linear level. 5. More interesting enemy design than in NMS, in my opinion anyway. Maybe i like spiders more than flying balls. 6. Enemies dropping ammo, kinda dumb but far more convenient in terms of gameplay flow than going through a fucking menu to recharge your guns as in NMS (why they still dont simply have R to reload is insane). 7. Cant fly the ship what so ever, how is that an improvement over NMS? Basically just a menu driven level select screen. 8. But nice ship design honestly, more solid-feeling than NMS's toy ships. 9. But completely uninteractable NPC's in the stations. 10. Better starsystem map than NMS, definetly, considering NMS doesnt even have a fucking map to view planets in. 11. I do like the planet approach and drop-pod visuals, but the planets are locked behind a loading screen, kinda shitty. 12. Planets are pretty much walled off instances, certainly not open landscapes circumnavigateable. 13. Crabs dont fucking attack you on sight and annoy the hell out of you. A plus for this game in my book, lol. Okay....... i cant fucking go on anymore, Jim scanning everything in sight even though it presumably appears to give you absolutely jack shit just made my narcolepsy kick back. I think its fairly objective to say that this game, while cute in its attempts at filling a genre that desperately needs a better game than NMS, certainly in no way actually is better than NMS. In fact, it is surprisingly worse than NMS in most aspects i just listed. How this is possible, only God knows. Congratulations indie dev, you made a game more boring than NMS. A round of applause!

[@hermannlagrange803]

You see, No man's sky had the exact same list of game play requirements...except theirs had a typo. Their's said 'scam' game play mechanic, instead of 'scan' game play mechanic.

[@Hawkeye04300]

Side note, this game looks extremely boring.

[@edwardsimongray4877]

Imagining Jim Fucking Sterling Son, being genuinely happy about scanning blocky animals and plants, made my life a bit better.

[@Slider2k]

NMS with shitty graphics? No, thx.

[@bigbirb1679]

Slider2k Lol exactly. This pale marshmallow plump ass bitch doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Just trying to get views from the title only - cause this gameplay is fucking ass.

[@ThePhantom0288]

Graphics don't always make a game better and it's an artistic choice instead of being hyper realistic they went for a polygon look which is cool

[@TheBestOfAll2010]

IT's like No Man's Sky had a baby with Minecraft and it got the gameplay idea of the former and quality of execution from the latter.

[@Kultsound]

Lol all these generic "NMS is so much better now". How much does buying KZbin comments from some Indian marketing agency cost these days. You could at least make those comments a bit more varied and less transparently fake...

[@Rakmarok]

Kultsound Assuming everyone that likes something you do not is lying or fake. Go get them Bud!

[@MelMelodyWerner]

Shill gambit fail.

[@influentialdiscovery592]

Hahaha! Here's your tinfoil hat!

[@DiamondPugs]

Wow! No Man's Sky looks a lot more fun after the updates. Specially the addition of the cat was a bit unexpected.

[@Kaodusanya]

this isn't better than no man's sky. Not even close, title is a bit.......

[@PussPussGaming]

Its better due to the fact that it isn't made by liars.

[@bigbirb1679]

PussPuss So if a really super awesome great game was made by someone who lied you still wouldn’t play it? Boy you are one dumb fucking fuck.

[@DogginsFroggins]

Except they lied about the game being good, way to miss the point.

[@Kaodusanya]

well that just means the developers are better but the gameplay is a bit shit

[@ZebsAlleyOriginalMusic]

This game is on the console and mobile devices too, so it’s not only Better but available for more platforms

[@meddle333]

THERE ARE ACTUALLY PEOPLE DEFENDING NMS IN THE COMMENTS. Jesus holy fuck...

[@LyricalDJ]

It's especially surprising to that that happens in the comments section here. One would think that people watching Jim Sterling would know better. I mean, sure, if some like the game that's fine. And I'm sure the devs made improvements. But how on earth does that excuse the massive mess they made prior to/at game launch?

[@Bone8380]

Hello games has actively tried to make up for their mistakes. With all the updates, the game is actually kinda decent now, and they said that they will continue to make it better. And yet, it seems forgiveness is impossible. Even though they tried everything they can to do good.

[@lambdachi107-gamingandmusi2]

No Man's Sky is nothing but a meme at this point, let's be honest.

[@Good_Horsey]

And there are people who haven't even played NMS but are happy to be on the hate bandwagon regardless... Jesus holy fuck

[@novato455]

OOhh yessss, updates to NMS! until money runs out or Sony pulls the plug.

[@Dentantje]

I can't help but feel that in this whole video he's being sarcastic.

" No skull data found. Musta been a skull of a particularly stupid person." Really enjoyed that line.
