Is there archive footage of this stream?
I don't think I understand how a review can give a better sway s person more than seeing raw gameplay.
Maybe you read about some Bugs or balancingproblems you didn't see in a Video.
The bigtigstream was nice. Great to see some more spacestation stuff. Can't wait, may get my copy this weekend.
XANDER YOU FUCK HAHA 10/10
Yeah for sure, I think that they made a conscious decision some time ago to tweak it so that even the most barren planet has one species on it. That species could be very limited in numbers, but I think all have some life. That, or the planets we've seen are the 98% on a bell curve and the other 1% each side are the planets that have zero life.
Pretty much. Just watch a ton of footage. You'll see the game presented as it is for the average person.

I'm glad you told us, fella. We couldn't have slept not knowing how you felt about the game.
You can read about technical stuff without the review. Df has us covered.
Sucks I worked for all but the first hour of his stream. He then gets off when I do -_-

I'm struggling to go silent with this game. Look at what a couple of leakers have done to help promote the game in a positive way, can you imagine how it will be promoted come launch day. This game is nothing short of a phenomena.
At this point reviews don't matter a jot.

Well, 1% of 18 quintillion planets is an insane number of planets on the lush and populated spectrum.
9% of 18 quintillion is an even larger percentage. I don't have the exact math, but it's massive.
Between the two streamers, they've hit what, 50-100 planets, maybe? 100 planets out of 18 quintillion, with probably a few hundred billion of them actually having life in some form, from simple organisms, to more complex creatures.
I have no doubt that there are completely barren and lifeless planets. I'm not going to judge the comically minuscule sample size of 50-100 planets and make broad statements like, "there are no completely lifeless planets!" The game is out in 7 days, and we'll be able to see for ourselves how our experiences differ. I'm of the impression that both streamers have been on the more fortunate end of discovering planets with life. I'm pretty sure there's going to be a player that comes across lifeless planets back to back to back.
I'm very excited to see what my starter planet is going to be. Overall, I don't have a preference for a lush or barren starter. I'm just eager to see where I spawn. I already have a few names picked out depending on the type of planet.

The game is designed to generate planets that offer a particular experience for the player. If lifeless planets were a part of HG's design, we should be seeing them. But the leakers have found life on EVERY planet in EVERY system, which is arguably a representative sample reflecting what the player is supposed to experience.
That's how math works for sure. 9% vs 90% means nothing only really big numbers.

And he's streaming on hitbox: http://www.hitbox.tv/daymeeuhn
He warned viewers that you shouldn't watch his stream if you want to avoid spoilers. That said, he'll avoid spoiling what's happening at the center of the (Euclid?) galaxy.

I think I'll avoid it this time then. Ive seen so much already.
So tempting though. I cant get enough.

Yeah I doubt he's strapped for cash lol
I will say that he seems a lot more chill this time around and a lot less of the OMGLOOKATMEEE vibe I got when he was the only kid on the block, which I greatly appreciate. He's also giving thoughtful responses to a lot of the questions being asked of him via chat which I commend since I wouldn't even bother, personally.
Trigonometrize.

And I thought spoiler threads for games that are OUT were long.

It really isn't. Not statistically. Not when 1% means 10,000,000,000,000,000 planets, and 9% means 1,620,000,000,000,000,000 planets

I can't believe that no matter how much we've seen, when we start the game it'll be completely different.
Ugh. Even Minecraft starts you off in a green area, this starts you off on completely different planets with different species. So close. Just...what...4 days until midnight release?
We can do this >_<
Yeah. Like, there will be a SHIT LOAD OF PLANETS WITH LIFE. more then we can imagine.
Man....best not to think about the numbers, Mason.

Thinking in percents, I can see why one would assume we should be seeing planets with no life already. "He said 90% are barren. Only 9% have some life" Those are small values, and we can visualize what 90% looks like. But apply those percentages to the scale of this game and that little miniscule 1% suddenly equals a figure with 16 zeroes. It's an unfathomable amount

Man I hope someone capped a screen of that weird ass creature Daym just ran into.
Yup, that's the one.
Edit: Here we go. Grabbed a cap.

That huge one was crazy too. Good planet he found here

Put it this way. There are exponentially more lush paradise planets in this game than there are planets and suns combined in our own Milky Way galaxy (around 500 billion).

Different stream for people that don't want crazy spoilers. This guy just started the game minutes ago.

Same boat. I've limited game time and I love me my podcasts, so things that let me zone out and play and listen at the same time are going to the top of the list for me. On my commute currently I'm going through the Broken Age speedrun (for the trophy, to get the plat) on my vita and that's great for podcasts since I've already played through the game and just trying to optimize my run; normally I'd be playing Nuclear Throne on my commute lol
Point is, NMS is shaping up to be a great way to get some satisfying exploration in for an hour before bed while listening to podcasts at home, or some other soundtracks whenever I get a bit burned out of 64DoS (admittedly amazing) ost.
Daymeeuhn (streamer) is in a system currently where two of the planets have moons. So yes. You're good to go in that respect.
What do you say to the fact that every planet we've seen which is labeled lifeless ("None") has life?
Every body seems to have an atmosphere.

I see he's stilling telling people the mining tool is broken and everything is in reverse. It's odd how the other guy hasn't had the same problem.
He just went through the upgrades again and it is happening. It's overheating too fast with cooling upgrades.
Did the other guy upgrade?
GribbleGrunger
Dreams in Digital
Yes, and he was cutting through stuff like butter with a lot less overheating.
This guy is doing something wrong.
If so, the relevant mechanics are too vague.
You can watch him do it. What is he doing wrong?

Tiggs was actually having problem with emeril with an upgraded beam while daymeeun demolished it with a base one. You're wrong.

According to my calculations. The sample size is like 3 people and so far 1 is having issues. I guess if its that bad then about 33.3% of people should have issues at release. 🤓🤓🤓

No, the relevant mechanics are just fine. When I first started Diablo 3 I'd set it up wrong and I was far weaker than I should have been. It's about learning the correct configurations. That's part of the game. This guy also had problems with other games, which has already been pointed out. I'm not taking any notice of what he's saying, just enjoying the different places he's visiting.
the first thing I'm going to do with this game is try out different layouts to see how they affect things.
If there are configurations that do the exact opposite of what's printed on the tin, that's a problem. This isn't diminishing returns.
damn that kind of sucks

nms is starting to look like pokemon go... travelling everywhere, capturing mons for your pokedex... yes.
GribbleGrunger
Dreams in Digital
If you choose to believe this guy, fair enough. I'm not and neither did Tiggles (or whatever his name was). He actually said he'd not encountered most of the problems this guy has.
?
And moreover, "believing" is for things that haven't been demonstrated multiple times. It's happening. How widespread? No way to tell at this point but it's a reproducibly buggy behavior. It's not a big deal but it is happening.

Not to mention capturing mons no other human being will ever have.
