Please, don't turn this into another one of those threads.
Please, don't turn this into another one of those threads.
As has been discussed many times last year (I remember a talk about how people seeing merely ships fly parallel to the player, something they occasionally do in-game, had led them to think they'd be able to lead squadrons, with no factual basis whatsoever), you guys were only told a few of those things and extrapolated a whole bunch of others.Expecting the things we were told the game would have is "Crazy Expectations" now?
I didn't get played though? Here's the thing: I only saw the very first trailer of the game before I played it, went on a media blackout after that, as some people do with games they like, with the exception of a presentation about procedural content at an indie dev event. I clocked in about 90 hours then came back to forums to discover people sounded like they were playing a different game.Buahahahahaha really!? The defense force is still blaming consumers for believing the lies!? Haven't come up with a better angle yet?
I'm not the one derailing a thread about the new ARG to vent my frustrations. It's been ten months now, you should have made peace with the fact the game is what it is, or should at least be able to let others enjoy it and discuss the interesting things it does offer.Don't shoot the messenger just because you got played, son!
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Instead of being happy the game gets support, they come in here with unchanged rhetoric they have from the release. Ignoring what happened next.
I really can't wait what they will show next.

So apparently that alone did me the service of allowing me to play and enjoy the game for what it is, a rather enjoyable if repetitive procedural space explorer. Again, you should take some distance from your emotions and look at the game.

I grew up in a world where Bullfrog existed, a company that routinely made up features that weren't in its games, yet is behind many great classics. Those are classics despite every ludicrous thing their now infamous founder said about them. They weren't the first and won't be the last. You should approach what companies say about their products with some critical distance, and it's not even specific to videogames, this is consumer basics.So now it's people's fault because they paid too much attention to what Hello Games said? lol ignorance is bliss!
Very happy to dive back into this once the next big update hits. I've got the itch to explore again.
Weren't they on radio silence for like a month post release?
So now it's people's fault because they paid too much attention to what Hello Games said? lol ignorance is bliss!
Thats like blaming politicians for lying: part of the responsability is on you for electing them. Do try and have some prespective on life and understand there are two sides to each coin. That way we wont have many threads derailed like this.
And I'm crossing fingers for vr/multi. But vr first please!
PSVR + Aim Controller + No Man's Sky = a lysergic paradise

If they're confident enough to start teasing things again it's got to be multiplayer or something cool like a leveling system to give people a reason to play single player.
I honestly have no idea how they could make that game fun but I'm excited to see if they can do it.
Your problem is you're trying to equal marketing with promises. They aren't the same, but again, this is consumer 101. But even that is beside the point that a game, or any othe entertainment product, can be enjoyed for what it is regardless of the marketing hype.Otherwise take my 100$, I hope you grew up in a world where people promised you money you never got.
Conspiracy!Am I the only person curious why Hello Games had the home addresses for all of the mods at the subreddit?
Conspiracy!
HG have been talking with Reddit mods for a while now. I'm assuming to help aggregate the feedback o. The subreddit to them in an effort to cut out the noise and toxicityAm I the only person curious why Hello Games had the home addresses for all of the mods at the subreddit?
MOTHER. FUCKING. ROGUE. PLANETS.With five tapes uploaded now, it's seeming like all of them are the same. They all say "portal" in the spectrograph.
So obviously they're going to turn one, or all, of them on. But the interesting part is what will be beyond them. I doubt it'll just connect to other worlds in the existing galaxy; we already have black holes for that. My guess is this is going to open into something new...either a new race, or a new galaxy with different proc gen algorithms, or both.

I'd love if the portals took us to instances of planets where the algorithm just got let loose, so it won't fuck up the main galaxy.. you wouldn't be able to take your space ship, but you could take one of your ground vehiclesHG have been talking with Reddit mods for a while now.

Yeah, like the crazy assed anomalous worlds in the Myst universe.I'd love if the portals took us to instances of planets where the algorithm just got let loose, so it won't fuck up the main galaxy.. you wouldn't be able to take your space ship, but you could take one of your ground vehicles

I would do everything you can to temper expectations until more details are known. No sense getting hyped for multiplayer yet, it will only lead to heartache.It could connect to new areas or worlds that are multiplayer focused or enabled. Just the way the ARG is setup makes me think it'll have something to do with multiplayer because basically right now they're making everyone work together to figure this out (kind of like working together in multiplayer).
It would be kind of cool to have something like clans where you could group up and work on a building type project but at this point that's probably way too ambitious. I'm still interested to see what this is.
I was pretty disappointed by the original release but I'm more than happy to see them turn this game around slowly and I'm fine supporting them 100% at this point.

Any chance you know about the base building and land vehicle updates? Adds to the game and has you recruiting aliens to your base to give you quests and help build new vehicles, items, plants to farm etc.I was gutted about this game but intrigued to see where it goes.
If it every gets decent - or gets VR support - I'll buy it.
Maybe a couple of updates down the line.
It still has such potential.

The cassettes are basically referencing the story of the final parts of the abandoned buildings lore.
Side B is a play on the message from the story- but contains the image/text "portal" for us.
"My comms hub detected a garbled message sent with strange resonance qualities. Not unusual, given the atypical qualities of local space-time in this quadrant. Systems spent several cycles attempting to reconstruct the message to no avail. Analysis indicates that the signal shows signs of degradation corresponding to initial transmission occurring before the planet I orbit was even formed. And yet my name is spoken clearly amid the static and distortion."
Side A has the OST tracks and using the names of the tracks (Red Parallax, Supermoon and End of the world sun) and matching it to the lore there is overlap to the same part of the lore as the message.
Heres the logic for side A...
8) Red Parallax - Red Giant
Red could relate to anything - Atlas/ Atlas stones, a galaxy center, but i believe its the red giant.
However parallax is interesting as its about distance, specificaly the apparent difference when view from different places, and there is one distance that stands out i.e distance to the galaxy center. So parallax could relate to the difference between what we see and what is the true distance.
So my leap is that Red Parallax is the Red Giant and its new position as a singularity somewhere in the galaxy (or a galaxy - if going meta with the portals).
Ok, this is pretty cool. It seems like two different ARGs are connected!
