There's a rumor that Hello Games is trying to implement an AI story generation system (think radiant quests but made by chatgpt) to address one of the biggest areas that are lacking on NMS: The lack of stories and quests (I loved the Artemis questline). Can you imagine landing on some random world and coming across some epic "Game of Thrones" style story (generated for you by the AI the minute you landed). I know from personal experience that Google Gemini is frighteningly good at creative writing so I wouldn't be surprised a special model trained in the tropes of scifi/fantasy could come up with epic stories with incredible npc dialogue and quests.

When the game is just really good, it will push more and more people to buy the game.

And the creature interaction is very shallow in NMS. Procedural elements can give rise to gameplay variety, but they are not gameplay. Exploring levels can be gameplay, but there are so many other systems that influence it, and that's what's lacking. The levels are fine, but the stuff in them, and how much you can interact with it, is not.

"it's the best game ever made that I play for a few hours once every few months." Thankfully there are some people with critical thinking and experience with good games diluting the mindless cult that worship this mediocre game that the developers refuse to make meaningful changes to.

Yeah, had the same thing happen to one of my bases. The other got an upgrade. it lost the glowing grass, but it became way more forested with glowy trees instead lol.

@@dfreshMC saying that cyberpunk has a point and a story and an endgame while implying No Mans Sky has none of that is kinda crazy, because NMS DOES have a story, but you are comparing apples to oranges here.

It's like saying Minecraft doesnt have a story, endgoal, or a point to play....when it has all of those.

And REMEMBER the clouds will be Dynamic, based on some control parameters that'll make them grow and fade. Unlike an-oth-er non-game. :)

I hadn't been paying attention in a little while because every time I load that game up, I play for a bit and then realize it's like 4 in the morning and I have to get up for work in 3 hours.

[@JazerMedia]

It's funny that people love NMS even though it's a game that's been in what is technically 8 years of development now, while lambasting that the much more technically complicated game, Star Citizen, has been in development for roughly the same amount of time (considering that development rebooted in 2014/2016). The takeaway is that big ambitious space games take big ambitious time frames.

No man’s sky is I game I like but i honestly don’t like to play. I really want to love this game but it’s hard when you just feel so lost. Hoping this or a future update is going to get me hooked on it because i think it’s a great game

[@Teh_Chosen_Juan]

exactly. i jumped back in and within 5 minutes i was right back to: ok, what the F am i supposed to do? warp, go to anomaly, listen to some gibberish, warp, repeat. maybe chase Apollo around and go back to Polo rinse and repeat. or just go from same looking planet to same looking planet over and over again. i get the base building, but shit, would be nice if there were some cool missions or objectives to actually do something. and don't tell me the nexus. stupid short missions that give you credits or some bullshit component for your backpack. cool! and i've YET to find one of those planets they feature in the trailers. over 70 something hours maybe more. same old bullshit planets with the same old bullshit flora and fauna. i'd say if you've dumped 30+ hours into the game, not much reason for you to come back. but you know me, i can't complain.

[@the_seer_0421]

The reason is quite simple actually. The lack of insensitive to play the game. All of these updates have been really nice and have improved the game on smaller scales but none of them fix the core issue which lies in the very foundation of the game itself. It has a very shallow and rather basic progression which feels good in the early game, where you are just trying to survive but after that it essentially just boils down to getting the best pieces of technology and the best ships through rather boring and uninteresting ways. After that there is no real reason to play outside of just for the sake of it or whenever a new update releases which can only hold your interest for so long. I think a game does this aspect really well and is sort of similar is terraria which has a very thought out and multilayered progression where not only do you evolve but so does the world around you to keep things interesting and it constantly finds a way to introduce new challenges for the player to overcome. The world is very hostile and hard to survive in which forces you to get better and better. It also has some well implemented rpg elements which adds a level of depth. I think if nms took some notes from games like terraria and revamp the core gameplay, it would be significantly more interesting and give people a real reason to keep playing for longer periods of time and take the game more seriously. I hope this update will come eventually.

[@DustinHarms]

Dude I'm so glad a lot of SC folks are jumping back in and really appreciating NMS. It truly is a fantastic game and the updates have been so ridiculously consistently building on the game I cannot praise them enough for their momentum.

I absolutely love the update. I played at release for about 30h and liked it, but Only after coming back to the game in 2020 I fell in love with it. I played the story again and built some factories and bases until some new game came along that drew me away from No Mans Sky. Now with 5.0 I came back to the game again, this time on PC and its amazing. I played 50h since the update came out and have hardly done any real story quests. I have been exploring, fighting, building, salvaging ships, aquired my first freighter and boarded a abandoned freighter. I love hyperdriving through a system from planet to planet and really experiencing the scale of those planets. Man just writing this I want to go back into my ship and explore more.
