Updated post above. Enjoy, I'll be back in like 2 hours.
It certainly says more than your claim that the game is just about landing and taking off from procedurally generated planets, with some space combat on the side. Don't hold people who are hyped for this game accountable for how accurate they've been about the promises its made when you're hardly doing any better yourself.
Tell me something, do you really think the people who are hyped for this game aren't also interested in those "missing" details?
Do you think those details won't come in time for you or anyone else to make a sufficiently informed purchase decision?

Man the cynical skepticism veering into some weird kind of disdain for the hype surrounding this game is so deflating.
Do people not have imaginations anymore? Why does a game need to have a "Cinematic", force fed story? I mean, what happened to making your story while you play the game?
Minecraft had no plot, and pretty much only one objective (survive) until the ender dragon was added. That game has been a monumental success.
No Man's Sky will be the space version of minecraft with the goals of survival and reaching the Center of the Universe (Ender Dragon). Along the way you are free to do whatever you want. Your journey IS the story.
Which is?
Is No Man's Sky about survival? What's the goal? Minecraft has a goal.

I saw it. Seems like the goal is to get to the center of the galaxy, but then what?Did you see MiamiWesker's post on the last page?

While his post is on this page (for me, at least, you 50ppp [or less!] heathen), I still don't really see a point. It seems like a giant sandbox... which is much the way that I see Minecraft and why it doesn't appeal to me.
I'm going to lump this game in the "I guess I just don't get it..." pile for now.
If all the info about the game is on their site and E3 videos, then I have accounted all of the information. Try again.
I'm not saying don't get hyped. Hell, I'm hyped for it. What you're apparently having difficulty in understanding is that it does the game no good when people are creating false expectations and that is what the hype is being built on--an abstract idea--and I'd hate the game to be blasted because it didn't meet those unrealistic expectations. I've seen it happen dozens of times, especially with MMOs.

You expect them to reveal what is waiting for us at the end goal?I saw it. Seems like the goal is to get to the center of the galaxy, but then what?

I see you avoided entirely telling us what you think people are overhyped about which was also asked in that post? Like what expectations are you seeing that people are overhyping? Since you say you have read all the info and know everything everyone else does. What exactly do you think we expect out of it that wasn't said in all the info given?

I already addressed that on the last page if you would have bothered to look.
I wasn't gonna reply to you again, but no you didn't lol, you cleared nothing up at all.I already addressed that on the last page if you would have bothered to look.
You find God there. Or some big head or something. And then the Enterprise leaves and Kirk says something stupid about Undiscovered Countries. Wait no, that was 6...
GI did an old preview where they explained some of the things that you can do in the game
That's obviously probably not going to be appealing to people that want or need a big story to move them along, but there are a lot of people that have been hoping for a game that's really about exploration to come along. And right now it seems like NMS is hitting those right notes since it seems like a space exploration game where you can explore the way you want.
You kill Bowser and rescue the Princess. But then what?
Playing this game with Interstellar's soundtrack is going to be amazing.

The goal of Fallout 3 is to get clear water for everyone, but then what?
Or in other words, really? You can pretty much say that statement about any game's end goal... yeah, so you did this, then what?
All these good games coming soon and the pick No Man's Sky?

About to leave on a flight so I have to do this crazy fast. GI info on NMS:
Game starts with trippy space trip like end of 2001. You just appear on a random planet, everyone will start on a different one. It could be very difficult with tough monsters, or have rare items or be boring. It will be different for everyone.
A beacon on your mini map leads you to your ship, you can leave at any time. Map shows the entire galaxy, different zoom level lets you see stars up close. Stars have a color that indicate the kind of resources they may have. You can scan their solar systems to see if there is a space station or a planet with points of interest, if it is previously explored you will see exactly what is on the planet.
At first you need a new hyperdrive and fuel so you cant go far. you need money to buy upgrades and fuel, basically everything you do deposits currency into your account. So you can blow up rocks to gather resources, blow up other ships, discovering new areas ect all give currency.
Every solar systems has a trading post or space station where you can cash this stuff in. The trading post is on the planet so you don't have to jump to space every time you want to cash in. Each post will have ships coming in and generally active. You can view ships you would like to buy, see upgrades ect.
You can attack incoming ships and steal their cargo as well, doing so will get the local police on you. If you escape they will put a bounty on you so that you can't go around the base without being attacked.
Each solar system has a space station, depending on how big it is shows the level of items in it. Large stations have much better ships and upgrades to buy. You can attack the station, can't blow it up but you can lower its ranking. You get nothing for it, they simply allow you to be an ass if you want.
Combat is standard FPS stuff. Every planet has robots (bipedal ones shown, mini at-st's) they want to keep nature untouched. So the more you get resources or kill alien animals the more these things will come at you. They will come in teams, flank, etc. tougher ones will appear close to the center of the galaxy.
Space combat is arcadey pick up and play style. They describe the combat like halo, you will need to determine which enemy to attack first. The smaller easy to kill ships or the bigger ones with shields which they describe as elites. Some ships will give shields to other smaller ones. Some you won't be able to stand up against until you upgrade.
Traveling to the center is the main goal but devs don't care if you don't care to go there. They say they want it to take 40-100 hours to reach there depending on how much you focus on getting to the center. Some planets have temples with portals that will randomly transport you closer to the center, you never know what you will find on the other side.
If you lose your ship, you will escape in a pod and land in the closest planet. You lose what items you had on the ship but keep your personal upgrades and your bank account. Your goal is to buy another ship. If you die on land you get taken back to the pod site and lose everything you gathered since leaving the pod. Dieing closer to the center of the galaxy is far tougher as planets could be brutal to escape.
With multiplayer they don't want people to meet up, no voice chat. They talk about how you don't know what you look like so someone else seeing you will be the one way to see what you look like. I'm hazy on that section, I'll read it again later.
They have a chart of possible upgrades for your suit, your ship and your multitool. Standard stuff like shields, jet pack, armor, power, fuel capacity, hyperdrive, etc.
If I forgot anything I will update later, got to go. If mods want to make a new thread to ahead, I'm out of time.
Man this is the most info I've seen for this gameUpdated post above. Enjoy, I'll be back in like 2 hours.
If there is co-op, it's more like Journey but you'll be millions of light years apart XD
I just want to explore everywhere and everything.
Playing this game with Interstellar's soundtrack is going to be amazing.
I'm not confused about anything. Have fun beating around the bush with somebody else, time for me to move on.You probably aren't reading it properly. Which part confuses you?
Some interesting new details, thanks for this. Did not expect there to be "local police", that and the robots protecting nature on the planets sound like they might add some interesting dynamics to the game. I like how losing your ship and dying are sounding so far as well, especially how dying closer to the center can make things more brutal for you. The temples with portals sound pretty cool as well, makes me think of stargate.snip
Someone hold me. This is what I've been waiting for. Forget Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. I want this.
ORLY?I gotta strongly disagree. The site uses more words to describe the same thing I am.
If that's literally it, then there's apparently no actual planetary exploration, no ground combat, no resource mining, no trading, no artifact discovery, no cataloging of lifeforms, no upgrading of ship or suit, no sharing discoveries with other players. These are the things the About page use more words to say that the game includes above and beyond what you claimed it does. Literally.All we know is there are a lot of procedurally generated planets and you can travel to their atmosphere and land on the surface seamlessly from space. Oh, and there's some space shooting too. That's literally it.
Heaven forbid anyone engage in some optimism, until such time as the info dictates otherwise!Of course they are, but that doesn't mean they haven't, at the same time, decided that this game will be great.
Maybe, but that doesn't address the question I asked. And it does raise another question as to why you'd bother criticizing others about their hype levels if you believe most purchasing decisions are based on emotion anyway. Do you just like telling people, "I told you so?"I think more often than not, people base their purchasing decisions on emotion rather than being informed.
I don't even understand what it means when people say this game has too much hype or that they don't get what everyone is seeing anymore.
Every single thread on NMS devolves into this. If anything, I would say this game has had a fairly negative reception in the community since after the initial reveal.
I know who plays games sideways right?Never been so turned off a game from one .gif
