I'll be too busy harvesting planets and exploring with my jaw on the ground to even care.

If the PC port isn't trash I'll be busy too, I'm just imagining how it's going to be.
These actually seem to represent rarity. 1 sphere = common, 2 spheres = uncommon, 3 spheres = rare.

Yeah, reviews in a game that A. doesn't explain (apparently) all of the details of some big gameplay stuff and B. provides a functionally random set of worlds to explore which might either suck, be barren, or totally fail to show off something cool, is going to result in some very interesting reviews.
Do we even know if reviewers have their copies yet? I'm used to there being at least a few people on GAF talking about having a review copy of a game, even if they can't say anything yet, but I haven't heard a peep on NMS.

Don't know if this has been asked, does the PC version have an unlocked frame rate?

I wish the inventory stacks were larger than 100. It looks like mining a few things easily gives you 100's of elements, which is cool, but management seems annoying. At least until you get a suit like the leaker has.
We do not know anything of the PC version

They are molecules but with this being NMS I thought perhaps there was some connection. Perhaps if we see them as planets and moons something will become clearer ... I don't know, I'm just speculating lol

Guys shut up and go look at the stream. It's a spoiler thread. xD

Hell, I'd double that and say it won't reach 100 pages (100ppp).

Did he go into a blocked scene?
Like I said, it's supposed to look like molecules, but it represents rarity. As far as I've seen there are nine "Primary" elements of red, blue and yellow colors and "Neutral" elements which are green. Here's what I got so far:
Code:
Isotopes (Red)
Carbon (Common) - living things - used for activating terminals
Thamium9 (Uncommon) - red plants
Plutonium (Rare) - red spiky rocks
Silicates (Blue)
Heridium (Common) - alien looking dome monoliths
Platinum (Uncommon) - blue plants
Chrysonite (Rare)
Oxides (Yellow)
Iron (Common) - used for "check stock" panels
Zinc (Uncommon) - yellow plants
Titanium (Rare) - yellow spiky rocks
Neutral
Nickel (Green, Uncommon)
Emeril (Green, Rare) - alien looking cubical monoliths
Iridium (Green)

He actually tried to put the upgrades in different slots, the mining beam Cooling system and the ship fire rate upgrades seem to be bugged (they nerf the multitool instead of buffing it)

GAF - I'm unable to watch streams at the moment, and don't really want too many spoilers. My question - based on what has been shown, does the game appear to be the one Sean promised us and simply has bugs/issues needing attention, or are his claims of what this game is appear to be false/fraudulent?
Yeah I mean the majority of stuff people seem bothered by (too many aliens, weird item balance, too easy) seem easily patchable, meanwhile... the game SEAMLESSLY renders a giant galaxy in which you can land and take off freely from planets and space stations, and it has 18 quintillion motherfucking planets. It does what it promised to do - we see that already. That alone is worth the price of admission to me - even if the game might be imperfect.

The game is 100% what they have promoted it as.

It might be what Sean said, but most definitely not what many people expected. The hype surrounding this game will hurt it a lot.
Yes. It looks like the game we have been shown and we have even seen some of the paradise worlds as well. They are there.

It depends on your understanding of Sean's so-called "promises".
To me, it looks like the game they've shown us.
To other delusional individuals: it's shit or jesus in disguise.
Your choice. xD

The former imo. Seen so little of the game really
Yes it appears to be exactly what was promised - but not very much more than that. If you were excited by the actual marketing and promises made, you'll probably really enjoy the game. If you were excited because of some nebulous fantasy version of the game that you imagined, expect to be disappointed.
Nothing false or fraudulent.
Some of the more speculative ideas seem not to have panned out, and other stuff may not be 100% great, but it's what I expected based on interviews and stuff.
The mining beam is definitely bugged and it has nothing to do with inventory position: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4mnp5i_beam-bug-in-action_videogames
The mining heat goes really fast up, faster than what we're seeing in streams of people just starting out, and the rate goes down when he dismantles the upgrades that are supposed to help.

Wow just finished the stream from Retrodigital.. man, I've never wanted to slap the controller out of someones hand so badly.
As others have said this is a common developer command - reverse leveling. Such a strangely specific bug.

Probably just forgot to remove it from the final build.

I'm really surprised the game was sent to manufacturing with such an obvious bug. Will reviewers be getting this game early? Most of them will have to say they can't properly comment on the progression system if it's that bugged during the pre-release period. The same goes for the bug with the fish swimming vertically facing the ground.
If only a couple of people have access to the game and are seeing bugs like this I don't know what's going to happen once they release it to the massess.
I don't think it's a "developer command" (Never heard of inverse leveling being used by developers) but rather someone just mistakenly put a plus sign where it should have been a minus sign. But that bugs like these managed to slip through QA either means there was little to no QA or they're rushing the game to avoid further delays.
LOL, well it is. Either that does it for you or not.

The planets are planets. 100% traversable if you were the kind of crazy person to try such a thing.

It so does it for me. It is actually even better, because you can get a better sense of all the sound effects, atmosphere, and music. The presentation is so Retro Sci-Fi, I love it.

Every planet is a life-sized planet (earth-like, they said).
You can orbit around it, walk, fly, swim, etc.
Yes, you can go round it.
My thoughts are it could not be a bug, but tied to the base stats of the weapon. Maybe it is a bug, but my gut is telling me there is more we're missing regarding positioning. I personally was nagging daymeeuhn to try different positions, and now we see there is color coding to the highlights when positioned correctly, there are also colors associated with a weapons stats, at different levels - I think this is the core of the issue. The weapon he is using has a lot of colors with high stats around projectile, but different colors with low stats around laser - his laser upgrades are blue, but he has no blue stats on his laser stat.
I can't quite understand the relationship yet, but I think this determines base stats and compatibility with upgrade types. Maybe a bad campatibility gives you a punishment.
It sounds like I'm on the right path here, because you can see that it doesn't exactly match up with what he is describing. Check out the video he shared and look at the bars for the weapon he is testing with. He has nearly as many beam upgrades that are highlighted blue as projectile upgrades highlighted red (was it red?) - but the stats on the side look drastically different. I think those stats might have some sort of relationship with base stats, and certain tools work better with certain upgrades.
I could be entirely wrong, and it really could just be a bug though. Still, watch that video and pause for the second or two you can see the stats.
