Thank god, Vendayn didn't say epic in a post about Starbound for once.

Yeah I was a bit more positive on the game than I thought I'd be till I saw and dug into that topic too, I thought he overpromised, not outright lied including the same sort of tics you'd see a grade schooler showing off after making off with before supper snacks.

They should try idle games. This one is nice.

This is actually really fun... for some reason. I feel strangely compelled.

Better than no man's sky...

And oddly less linear.

If it's a space game, and it's BIG... it should be empty, and unwelcoming. Part of what makes exploration exciting is that you're far away from home, and you don't know what you'll find. You should be scared when you're far away from civilization, you'll run out of fuel, your tools will break, you'll run out of supplies. And when you're stuck on a planet with all of your mining equipment broken, out of gas, on an alien planet that's been untouched by any civilization, you'll be alone. You'll be alone and you'll never see another planet for the rest of your short life.
Space should be lonely. Space should be scary. Space should kill the fuck out of you.

But in reality you know pretty much what you're going to find after the first couple of planets, the tools aspect of the game is amazingly simple, you don't really need any sort of supplies and every planet in fact seems to have been touched by one civilisation or another, and they all use the same stock assets for their buildings.

I'm not saying the game is terrible, but after around 12 hours of playtime, visiting around 10 planets and 3 systems, it felt really boring and repetitive.

I dont quite the get the hate. The game seems to be exactly like they said it would be. Explore, collect resources, and move to the center. And thats what you do.

I'm not hating on it, though. I practice an unusual discipline of not involving myself in gaming hype because I find it asinine, so my pre-release impression of the game was probably very limited compared to most people. To some extent I'd say that I got to experience on it's merits, and not on a year of marketing/fan-boy hype, and on it's own merits it failed to interest me after 12 hours (which probably would have been closer to 6 hours if me and a friend hadn't had a hangover day playing it together).

All with quotes and links to official gameplay materials and Sean Liar interviews.

Sean murrine isnt a liar.
They had to cut content for a ps4 release and time issues, sure pc could have had the cut unworking content but then all ps4 users would get but hurt there console is old hat, so the pc got a port.
He needs to say whats up though.
(Ps4 user)

[lastverb]

It's not like he was forced to work with SONY. He agreed to their terms and kept 'misinforming' even a month before release. Wait! Even after release with players meeting thing.

[Catmeat]

No no I agree fully, sony is evil and Hello as a whole sold their souls
The multiplayer issue was that he knew it wouldnt work, I knew I had no character model, go to a monolith with ur multitool out, youl see that you float with the character.
So I personaly think we should have been able to see yourself but not the thing inside the exo.
But the fact in the stamina enhancement sigma upgrade it says lactic acid, so wer human

[Dorsidwarf]

My new game Sky Citizen will contain a complete simulation of the entire universe. You will be able to do literally anything in it. Please support my kickstarter

Don't see why you'd pay for that that, since something like that already exists for free.

This zombo... it is malware?

-snop-

I sure hope not, since its my homepage! Dunno why it'd set off malware flags.

I think it's a flash site, which might do it for some. Or maybe the browser looked at how old the page was and went "WEB PAGE LYING TO US ABORT"

[Catmeat]

I truly understand the hate for this game, but evertime I put it on I am immersed, suit annoyingly immersing you by reminding shes full or is hungry.
Then I see a beautiful vista and I want to see more.
Then it happens... I realise this game needs years more of work.
Hmmm, Im not ever going to the center, avoiding spoilers too. I know it wont be,any good.
And if I go to a new universe I would want my ship.
Ahh goldenfinch

This is probably the best quote out of all of them, although I'm not sure exactly who said it.

"The team programmed some of the physics for aesthetic reasons. For instance, Duncan insisted on permitting moons to orbit closer to their planets than Newtonian physics would allow. When he desired the possibility of green skies, the team had to redesign the periodic table to create atmospheric particles that would diffract light at just the right wavelength."

They are claiming that the light you see is due to a simulation of refraction based on the atomic properties of the gases in the atmosphere of the planet.  I mean, they talked about orbiting planets (false), rotating planets (false), space stations orbiting planets independently (false).

Now they're saying 'well maybe we'll put in some of those features we said were already in the game, but we'll probably have to charge for it'

It's OK to like the game anyway, but the devs have been lying.  They weren't just optimistic, they implied, said, and actually forged footage of these features that don't exist.  You don't just forget that your game actually doesn't simulate particle physics...

[Flying Dice]

That atmospheric coloration quote did it for me. They're delusional children, and the greedy jerks behind E:D have somehow retaken their position as the least evil of the new-wave space game devs. *refunds*

And hey, now I have money for the first couple Stellaris DLCs. :V

Edit: I finished that clicker game someone linked on here earlier. That was actually a pretty enjoyable ride.
