I mean...



And to be fair... the 'third color' looks like a fleshy membrane coming out of a sleeve. So... (debating what alien life 'should' look like, lol).

That looks nothing like the NMS creature and you know it. Jeez Louise, I care not, here nor there about this game, just following through curiosity, but one thing is becoming certain. One cannot criticise a single thing from this game without getting a torrent of denial/reaction lol. It is fascinating.
 
so... do you enter a name at the start of the game or is your ingame name tied to your psn/gog/steam account? I'm asking because I hate my account names.

Take away the fleshy tube, and it sure as shit does... all the pics I posted with different colors and patterns being abruptly cut off do... especially the horse/zebra hybrid breeding. Since some were saying it looks 'stitched together'. So does the Okapi, and the Quagga. And sure the Zebra/Horse hybrid that is pure white, with abrupt pattern change.

But again, alien life, how are you to judge what it is to look like? We have no clue, none of us do, and basing it on our own earth life is just inward thinking.

Haven't been keeping up. What happens at the center?

You wake up and get ready for work again. Same as the day before and same as the day following. The center of the galaxy represents daily life. Wake up, go collect units, find the center of the galaxy, repeat until you die.

but in all seriousness it just takes you to a new galaxy when you reach the center lol

Based on the bts videos we've seen, that's not how creature generation works. Body shape is determined by a series of sliders and algorithms that work to mold (like clay) a particular shape; it is not a pre-made asset. Idk why the game painted the animal's hind quarters with one texture and it's upper body another. Because alien weirdness?

okapi.jpg




The okapi /oʊˈkɑːpiː/, is a giraffid artiodactyl mammal native to the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa. Although the okapi bears striped markings reminiscent of zebras, it is most closely related to the giraffe.



Because evolution is a helluva drug my friend.

Clearly our universe is an artificial universe. I mean just look at that procedural mess.

We can agree to disagree my friend. I say it looks utterly stupid and detracts from immersion, you say otherwise.
 
Its just me or it looks like you can't crash your ship into the water? It looked like was a invisible barrier where the ship couldn't go further down.

The inventory being this small gives me no reason to stay on a planet and farm things.

That's incredibly dumb tbh, like early days of Minecraft IIRC when the stacks were small, but at least you could make a crapton of chests.

You need resources to survive. Limiting the amount of resources you can carry forces you to explore, mine, and fight. And it provides an initial challenge and a basis for progression.

It's a commentary on the vacuousness of contemporary videogame criticism

Because the game's full of space, amirite?

Good one.

On topic about the creature everyone is talking about, I gotta agree partially with Crossing Eden. To me the problem isn't that they glued three parts together, but the texture looks terrible and not really how it should be.

okapi.jpg


Even this picture that everyone is using as a counter has that part right.
 
wow, so I watched like 3 minutes of no man's sky and literally nothing happened. Flying around a planet. This is a snoozefest, sorry, would've wished this would turn out better, but this is boring. There are so many good games out that that provide better entertainment for less cost.

And yes, 3 minutes boredom is enough to turn me off. I just have a -that- small attention span.

Yeah real life has some amazing textures.

I understand that, but not having a place to store my things is just bad to me, but that's IMO, obviously. I don't mind having a small storage if I can create a place to store a huge crapton of stuff. If I can't then it bothers me.

You can clearly understand what I'm talking about when I say textures, if you just want to take a potshot go ahead.
 
Crossing Eden said:
What really messes it up is the fact that textures aren't dynamic. It's just SO very clearly three separate pieces of different models stitched together instead of seeming like an alien that evolved based on the environment.

I mean, there's crazy shit on earth too, as many pointed out. Not to mention this is the first "less believable" being we see (even though debating about alien life plausibility is quite funny by itself), others seemed quite well "stitched" and consistent.

But it's nice to see the usual users trying to make a case out of nothing, just for the sake of polluting the thread. You don't like a game you haven't played, we get it.
I still don't know what I think of it, but let's at least give props to the developers for an outstandingly good procedural algorithm (especially for terrain).

Yeah, the inventory limit is definitely the biggest issue I have with the game right now. Pretty much everything else is exactly what I pictured and hoped for, but this tiny-ass inventory is something I'll happily mod or cheat around on PC.
