  • Thanks for the reply. I do appreciate your candor.

    I wish you would have actually said anything about the game. I know that you enjoyed it. 45$ worth, at least.

    You are blown away and find it breathtaking, but I am not really sure why that is.

    Asking people what they like about a piece of media is not “letting internet strangers form your opinion”.

    I was asking because I am wondering where the game’s strengths lie and what it does exceptionally well. Because then I could compare that to what I value most in a space game. And could decide if I give the free fly a try or spend my time on any of the other infinity+1 amounts of things to indulge in. (Which is right now emulating Bloodborne and playing Clair Obscure)

    Elite Dangerous, X4, EVE or any other high-depth simulators never totally clicked with me. But I have spent considerable hours in Star Sector or the Starpoint Gemini games. Games that make me feel like I am a space cowboy without throwing me infinite possibilities with no reason to pursue any of them. Which is often the feeling No Man’s Sky is giving me.

    If I had to sum it up, I’d say I am more interested in Space RPGs than Space Simulators.

    Maybe you could have shared what is actually sensational about the game. Which would probably have done more to counter any unfair criticism towards it, than just expounding on how unfounded preconceived opinions about it are. After all you love the game. So let some of that love shine through and carry the day.

    I should have chucked the lines about budget and time, because they raised your hackles so much. You are probably used to the game being attacked on that avenue.
