Playing Starbound. I dont know how much they ripped off that was supposed to be in, but overall the game does not seem that bad.

If I had paid a premium expecting more features  I might have been frustrated. As it is I dont know about those features, got the game as a gift, and is an entertaining terraria clone.

It's not bad per se, it's just brimming with unfulfilled potential.

[majikero]

It's technically not bad. Quite frankly its good.

The problem is they promised the moon and the stars but all we got was a planetarium which they tore down anyways and build an observatory.

They promised one thing, built another thing and tore it down to the roots and gave us something else entirely. There was also forum drama involved at some point as well.

Game has been patched. Novakids have live in places now and the tier 10 moon cheese farm no longer works.

Moon cheese? What's that about?

Moons briefly had a threat rating of 10, in spite of having no actual threats beyond the Ghost.  Since rent (basically, items you received from villagers at irregular intervals such as weapons, pixels, shields, costumes, and the like) was directly proportional to the planet's threat rating, this meant that you could build a village on the moon and get ridiculously powerful weapons and loads of pixels more or less from the moment you have your ship's thrusters functioning.

I'm disappointed they've fixed that. If I want to "cheat" a singleplayer game to get decent weapons, why do they feel the need to stop me?

[NullForceOmega]

Remember, there is no 'single player' in Starbound anymore.  As for why?  Re-read the thread, it becomes pretty apparent that the Chuckleheads have no clue what they are doing.

Well I mean.
Minecraft does it too. The only real difference is that it pauses.

last I checked Minecraft (and Terraia for that matter) do not devour your bandwidth when in singleplayer, and can be played offline. Or rather, both of them actually HAVE singleplayer to begin with.

If you want to cheat, you can just spawn the weapons in with console commands. That's what I did. I couldn't be bothered waiting for the random rent reward to roll a gun with the properties I wanted, so I just kept spawning them in until I got one I liked. (I couldn't be bothered to learn the proper commands to spawn items with specific properties either.)

Wait, what? SB can't be played offline? And don't even get me started on the pause. That is inexcusable, IMO.

[Random_Dragon]

Because Starbound uses fake singleplayer that hosts a listen server.

[Chiefwaffles]

So does Minecraft.
Though Minecraft definitely does it better.

Strange, as I have played Minecraft offline without issue. :V

Like Starbound (?), Minecraft creates a "fake" server when you play single-player. Ping isn't an issue, since the client and server are the same computer.

[Random_Dragon]

...welp, there goes another game I now fear will eat up bandwidth. >.<
