I'll be following this one. This was really the only game that stood out to me at TGA. But after the NMS release, I'll be waiting for reviews.
Play the new Warframe update until then. Its got some trippy maps coming.
This game looks absolutely incredible. I’m not going to pre-order under any circumstances (been there, done that with these guys, lmao) but I firmly believe HG are capable of sticking the landing if they try, and if it’s all it’s cracked up to be at launch I’ll be playing the shit out of it.
Hello has really come around when it comes to building the framework for a great sandbox game and if you're diligent about creating goals and tasks for yourself NMS can be fun. Not to mention seamlessly flying off a planet into space was an amazing novelty.
However if they want me to try Light No Fire they need to do two things: turn the page on the NMS gameplay loop ideally with some truly emergent gameplay, and fix the inconsistent and unintuitive UI. I did really enjoy a lot of my time in NMS but to do so I found I always had the feeling I was working against the system instead of with it.
My biggest gripe was they didn't bring up my backpack inventory in the regular manner when selling. I keep thinks in specific locations and seeing a vertical list five items at a time was a massive waste of time and screen space.
This looks cool, but it basically just looks like a reskin of NMS in a fantasy world and they're going to need to do more than copy Valheim to make this one fun.
Looks absolutely generic af.
Can't wait to play it.
It looks good. The bones of NMS are easy to see, but there's enough new to make it exciting.
This looks great. Looks like NMS crossed with Valheim. I've been enjoying NMS for 4 years now, with all of the continued free updates, I gotta say it was the best 30$ I've spent on a game. My concern is that NMS multi-player game play is very buggy, and it looks like this new game wants to be multi-player focused as well. I hope they can pull that off with the new game, and maybe fix multi-player in NMS. I've been loving my time in NMS and I will definitely give this new game a try. I didn't see a release date for it, so I assume it's a couple of years out.
Valheim, but I can ride a dragon? Keeping my fingers crossed.
This is really exciting. I've liked everything about No Man's Sky except the gameplay which I thought was boring. If they can replace that with exciting fantasy combat, I'm in.
Also this trailer felt weirdly very similar to the NMS one. The zoom out from water, panning over the landscape, and riding
shipsdragons over everything had all the same beats.If they take everything they learned along the way with NMS and release a polished game, this is going to be a ton of fun.
NMS is in a strange place for me, it's a game that will clock hundreds of hours but likely will never make it on a top 10 list for me. It's a game I can always go back to, but not something I will rave about.
If LNT hits that, I will still be very happy with it
Orange cloak.
I'm in.
Here's to hoping Hello Games releases this one on GOG as well.
Hello Games trailer, nah dawg. Not again.
You should probably read up in the redemption of Hello Games / NMS. They have released update after update, dlc after dlc, all for free. The game is truly completely different from what it was. Not many games has gotten this good of a follow up after it's rough launch.
Doesn't mean they can't/won't do the same thing again. Releasing a broken game and fixing it later worked once. If anything, its less of a risk for them now, seeing as people will justify it for them. IE, "No Man Sky eventually got most of what was in the gameplay trailer. They'll fix things this time too!"
BWAHAHAHAHA! No. I didn't fall for it the first time, I see no reason to fall for it now.
How to show you haven't kept up with NMS and the company at all since No Man's Sky released.
There is little reason to believe this will be the same, they've given the players more than what was promised and continue to vastly expand NMS, all for free.
Step 1: Release a shit game early that's nothing like its trailer and produce a shit ton of publicity through its consequential shit storm.
Step 2: Spent development time on it that you had originally planned for it anyway to fix things up a little bit, without ever reaching the state of the original trailer and get all the praise for being a shitty company because you've apparently done some magical redemption arc.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit - and then do it all over again because people are gullible idiots.You can apply the same shit to CP2077 and other games btw. At this point it is beneficial to just release a game in a shitty state because now you have the opportunity to use it as some PR mechanism of how great you are as a company for still caring for your games even after a shitty launch.
The same people are at the helm, and they've managaed to make a massive profit by making up a bunch of stuff, releasing a broken, unfinished game and fixing it over the course of nearly a decade. What's to say they're going to do differently this time. If anything, they're more likely to get a pass releasing a broken game now since it will probably eventually be what was promised at launch.
Edit: and I also want to highlight the fact that by supporting Hello Games (at least until we've seen definitive proof that this isn't a repeat) we're very directly showing support for the practice of releasing broken games.
It seems that you need a refresher. I suggest you rewatch those original pre-release trailers and then try playing the game to see if it looks anything like that. I did that a few months ago, and spoiler alert, it did not. Continued support is of course praiseworthy, but it wouldn't have been necessary if Hello Games had actually kept their promises to begin with. It boggles my mind that gamers so vehemently defend a company that took a decade longer than it should have to deliver some (not all!) of what was promised and also wasted a bunch of time and resources on bloating the game with stuff that was never mentioned and that nobody asked for. Gotta be some form of sunk cost fallacy or Stockholm syndrome or something...
Needless to say, I disagree with you that there's little reason to believe this will be the same. On the contrary, there is every reason to believe that. Due to my skepticism, I was talked down to by people excited by the trailers back then, just like I'm being talked down to by you now. Vindication felt very sweet first time around, so I'm looking forward to round two.
