      different planets with different generated quests is still missing from NMS; as a coherent main story and faction stories.
      NMS feels like minecraft in space, where nobody could get bothered hiring a writer because all the money went into hiring graphic artists and programmers. Sandbox games are the fundamental expression of being lazy; sold as "do whatever you want".
      And I love NMS for what it offers, but at its core, if you remove the planetary tech to generate "sort of unique" stuff; the rest has been done since the early 2000s by other sandbox survival games.

      What i dig most about NMS is that, when i say ok now i,m going for the first main storyline (been in 150hr+ and have not even done the 1st storyline), within 5min in game i am distracted. There is always something going on. On planets massive ships warp out of hyperspace, so i jump in ship and going to check them out, or some ruins or a crashed ship or freighter to check out. Scanning all life and plant forms on a planet. In space things just warp in, or fly in the rings of a Saturn like planet the list is just endless. I hope they never stop adding things to this game i really do.

    No mans sky actually gives you what you expect. You fly about, you can think about where you land on a planet, you can find actual stuff from other players that was left years ago. You can actually land on big ships, or own a big ship and have crew....and can spot those ships in the actual universe going about the missions you have sent them on. Also vehicles, which are genuinely fun and alien pets.
    I remember finding a planet in NMS where players had met in the old days when that was rare - there was an item floating there as a marker, as such meetings were celebrated in that way. I had no idea what it was and many players i went to had no idea either, i had found a genuine ancient relic on a forgotten world and could research it as it had their names on. Eventually i learned the lore of these unusual creations. I really was doing some in game space archaology... in a real ruin as some of the placed items nearby were still there, a broken stair and some walls....and what appeared to be a bridge that the two players had met so that they were both standing on the same coordinates years ago.
    Starfield though - they had all that money and talent - and others had made mistakes they could learn from and avoid, including their own studio...and yet....everything went backwards. Its such a tragedy, it could have been so good. Should have been so good and instead all we got was a busted version of elder scrolls that was more like a knockoff copy.

It just has to be a space exploration game with a cool plot....and instead its a terrible exploration game with flaws it shouldnt have....because all the earlier bethesda games did exploration aspects well.
      People are upset because, if bethesda just gave them a game like skyrim in space, they would probably have been happy....but the game takes massive backwards steps compared to all the preceeding, much older content from the same studio.
      The guys doing no mans sky tried to jump really high and had no real foundation to start on, so they had to build their way up. Bethesda started with a pre-made ladder on a tall building and then ignored both. They could have done so much better - because all their older games do it better.

      Exactly. Like sure starship customization is cool, and starfield deserves the win in that regard, but at the same time I don't really want cosmetic ship customization in No Mans Sky, because it keeps that uniqueness, making cool looking ships that much cooler because you can't just build it. Any ship can feel like a main character ship, because its your ship. Even if NMS does get ship customization, I probably won't use it beyond maybe getting a new paintjob on principle.

    Well, regarding NMS customisation of spacecraft and multitools, i see it as "Collectible" and achievement mechanic. The cool stuff is very rare and if you manage to find some - you're either extremely lucky or put tons of effort into that process. If you manage to find really cool ship and fall in love with it, it will emotionally be much more investing, than just building your own ship.

    Taking into account that you are staring at the loading screens 90% of the time in this game it is a nice touch.

    Actually Starfield storytelling only have presentation better than NMS, because the story in NMS is actually quite good, and the lore is especially good too, somehow with the races in NMS being so vague, and the effort you need to make to UNDERSTAND their languages in the first place makes the world building of NMS far superior than Starfield, it relly feels like you were discovering new alien races and misteries that start to get weirder and weirder as you progress, there's even some emotional moments, like Artemis rescue where we are put on a real dilema, we barely know Artemis, and the story told us to follow her thread, and we basically do when we feel like it... we don't give too much thought, and we don't even care about Artemis character, BUT somehow, Hello Games manage to pull an emotional response from us on Artemis character, not only that, but make us start questioning our OWN reality, and even then, the universe still feels alive, because of the amount of things you have to do in the game...
    Even the companions, Laylaps and the Mech are somehow captivating, the Mech doesn't even talk, but you can see it's personality in the way he moves once your not piloting him.
    NMS universe feels somewhat bittersweet, on one hand is one of the most fun and engaging universes to be, on the other hand it always reminds you that it's a "simulation" because it is it's nature, is almost like the simulation want you to get out from it on the first place, but without forcing you too it.

    If nms had more story/quests, ship design, and traits to level up, they would blow starfield away. But also if starfield just had the ability to land/fly anywhere in your ship (including actually flying into a planet's atmosphere) with better control mechanics it would be a much better game.

    • @OrangeNash
      @OrangeNash 3 месяца назад +1

      Yes, I think you're right. It would be easier to improve NMS by adding in the RPG lite features, quests and weaponry of Starfield into NMS than it would the other way around. That is, trying to make exploring and survival actually interesting in Starfield.
      IMHO, both games have the same basic problem of too much emphasis on quantity and not enough on quality. Game worlds don't need to be huge to be interesting. Both are interesting at first, but soon wear out due to repetition. HAving said that, given the huge negative reception to NMS at launch, it is surprising that Starfield launched with basically much the same overall problem. Lots of ... nothing. The things to do don't affect anything. Would have thought Starfield would have learnt from NMS mistakes.

    Starfield: 50 planets and about 6 loading screens just to explore a “section” of the planet before needing to enter a new loading screen to get pass one of the four invisible walls containing your “explorable area”
    NMS: 18 QUINTILLION PLANETS you can freely explore with unique flora and fauna only needing warp between solar systems that physically exist in a massive galaxy.
