So Neo is grumpy bear?
Yup i am grumpy myself in real life, hell my friend and GF call me "El Chialeux" i believe it would mean grumpy 2 fold? or something similar, im not angry im just as cynical and narcistic in real life about human and their nature, but here i barely NEVER "grump"?? hehe.

Now that its settled, would be nice to come back on topic.

I made my very first car!!! had to be solar powered because.... gas station was literaly at the other far side of the town next to a river, in the middle of a 8 lane of houses/shops/ etc......

So after 6 or was it 9 days of filling my poor little motorcycle with plates/frames odd and ends, killing over 400 zombies in the process, nearly loosing a limb to a fragging moose.... these things are killer i tell you...... I got my very first solar powered semi armored car, normal plating protecting front and weel, and the main living area has everything i need, bed, RV kitchen and even a back view balcony!

That's Cataclysm!

We've become so off-topic that other threads are being used to fill in the gap where the topic once lay.

We should make a thread called "Neonivek is really cynical: discuss" in other games that's all about saying how shit an upcoming game could be.
It would be nice yes. And just confine him there.

I think you want the cataclysm thread, Neo.

Look if a game is trash, which I assume is why you are bringing it up, it isn't worth discussion unless it has something particularly interesting (Like if it was Other M)

If a game is good or questionable then it deserves as much discernment as I can bring to it.

The amount of features in Starbound is what makes it being a solid game hard to see. Since, to explain I guess, a Solid game you can just keep peeling back everything on and on until all you are left is a great game.

While Starbound seems more defined by its features and what you can do with it. You explore, find unique planets, capture critters, cause the critters to mutate, play musical instruments, troll someone, fly around the galaxy, fight space alien pirate ninjas, and at the end of the day you might even eat pancakes. Starbound can certainly be a great game or even an amazing one, but it doesn't seem like a solid game.

But the better movement system in Starbound could cause an upset even within my analysis... but I doubt it.

When people say things like 'solid game', I always imagine them describing the mental state of a game, and presently imagine a box with the starbound logo sitting in a psych ward.

HEH! Well the opposite of a solid game is sort of like a weak game. A weak game doesn't leave lasting impressions no matter how good it is. Something where when all is said and done, you just didn't have the full score of entertainment.

While I honestly don't think applies to Starbound. It has too much of a strong skeleton.

Tomorrow will NOT be the release of the beta due to a number of things that popped up, like NPC's not dishing out quests properly, etc. However, I am hopeful that we are going to read a beta date window, if not an exact time.

That quote wasn't directed at you, Neonivek, but at jocan. Miauw just mistook his identity for yours.

See above, Darkling. Jocan mistook this for the DDA thread and someone mistook him for Neo, presumably because he admitted to being grumpy.  :P


It's good to hear that we might have a date soon, even if it isn't tomorrow.

If they actually release a date--Just a date: never mind the game-- I would be ecstatic.

OK, I have to reload the save.
There was a bit of a problem regarding flashfreezing, a ballistae, and a barrel of dwarven ale. Gonna fix it up.

NPCs that don't want you to do their chores for them? Blasphemy!

What else are heros good for if not doing your own job?

Heroes are useless parasites, the lot of them. If you don't give them a bunch of petty make-work chores they'll sit around drinking and stealing small objects when you aren't around.
