Though I’m usually not as negatives as the the psyche ward below here usually, but I have to say, I Don’t understand why people cream their pants over this game’s updates. I swear I’ve tried it each update and the experience is the same. Just endless nothingness with nothing meaningful to do, all you do is shoot plants get materials , sell them get a bigger minning beam to shoot more plants and rocks and then make some fuel and move to the next empty planet and repeat.
As long as they don’t add a fully voiced campaign that actually gives me purpose, there’s no point in playing this mining simulator.
What you mentioned there are just the early part of the game… But I also never past that part when I play, except a long time ago, during their initial release when Im able to finally past that early part and just go to space and explore many planet that virtually are the same… So , who I am ever to judge your opinion …
I got exactely the seem feeling after every trailer of an update i reinstall the game start fresh and new..
Only to unistall it later because the endless nothingness..
Sure i can explore and walk and fly in space shooting at pirates..and mining and mining and mining more..
It just feels empty without a real voiced ampaign with cutscenes etc.
Think im going to reinstall it once more..
Same… Always install the game after a new update and i’m like… “Nice!” and then uninstall after an hour.
Same here, its still the same gameplay cycle after every update. Repetitive and boring.
I was of the same opinion until one day, I said, f*k it and gave it a couple of hours of continuous play. Once I did this, just like Death Stranding, I understood the gameplay loops it is trying to present me with. From there, it just clicked, the game is about upgrading everything you have, and works similar to other games where the core objective is to upgrade everything 🙂
I think they’re working on a single player story driven mode actually
no matter what they do this game will be a boring mess.
Someone must have been watching the new Dune movie at Hello Games…
