1:16 got to stop you right there. The new update was in NO Way influenced by Helldivers 2, Sean Specifically said it was influenced by Starship Troopers. It even uses some of the same lingo. Now, helldivers 2 may draw inspiration from Starship Troopers as well but they are not the same.

[@blademaster2390]

No Man’s Sky - the launch was a buggy, unoptimized mess with barely any promises met, but now its a beautiful universe, brilliantly optimized, and doesn’t just meet promises, but *_FAR_* exceeds them. As someone that has played the game since around its launch, to say it has come a _long_ way is an understatement, and I absolutely love it.

I don't own this game but I've followed its story since launch. And I think there needs to be a specific, and rarely given award to the devs of this game for how they turned it around.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

I wouldn't get too hyped for rivers and waterfalls yet...

[@GrimAbstract]

@@Lordoftheapes79 why?

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@GrimAbstract 2 reasons. First off this update was a reskin, it didn't actually change the terrain generation, which in its simplest terms is just random elevation with a sea level line and POIs dotting line around the globe. It works because at its core, it's actually a simple concept. Adding rivers and waterfalls means adding multiple layers of complexity. POIs work because they're inserting a small area on top of the random landscape. Rivers would require that random landscape to be rewritten over a significantly larger area. Most systems wouldn't be able to handle it. Let alone waterfalls, not only having to adjust for distance(width in this case) but elevation and flow. It sounds easy, and in other games it might be, but due to the nature of NMS it's very complicated. Secondly, this kind of change would mean resetting every planet and potentially ruining every base ever made. That would be a media disaster. That isn't to say they won't figure something out eventually, but the odds of it being in part 2 are basically non-existent.

[@intimaspace646]

@@Lordoftheapes79 yeah you’re right. I think this is actually a major negative of a game going heavy with the base building IMO. I’ve never been a base builder, so would be quite happy for them to completely reset everything in the name of progressing the game and enhancing it. Sadly, you’re also right about people losing their minds if their bases disappeared.

[@attrage7545]

Hello Games went from being basically the laughingstock of the games industry to being one of the best development studios of all time. They really are a shining example of game devs prioritizing making solid games over making money. Of course the latter is important but the fact every single major update to No Man's Sky has been FREE is simply astounding. The ONLY money I've spent on NMS was the 60 bucks I spent on the original PS4 version in 2016. I can't say that about any other game I've ever owned. We live in a golden age of gaming and Hello Games are leading the pack by being an example that every game developer in the world should emulate, but too few do.

[@dwillingham]

This is amazing and I'm glad they keep working on this game. Unfortunately, I just can't find a way to play this game that is enjoyable for me. I really think the devs have done an amazing job of redeeming this and it is great, but I just don't enjoy the grinding gameplay or the UI on PC. Maybe I will look into UI mods on PC to see if any of those can help.
