@massivelyop I’ve been playing both. Started NMS weeks ago because I was hype for Starfield. They’re both very similar but also very different and complement each other incredibly, especially if you’re already a huge space nerd.
Been playing #NoMansSky again for the past few hours. What’s absolutely baffling is how I can play it for four hours, and feel like I’ve not spent enough time on it. It’s just so big*.
The other thing is that there are so many different ways to play, so unless you go hard in one direction you kinda feel like you’ve not done much.
So today I ended up spending ages mining and grinding and working out how to make money, then a bit of time on a mission quest, then I found a settlement and have spent some time fixing that up.
I recently worked out that if you harvest the larvae inside a whispering egg, they’re worth about 70k credits a pop, so I’ve gone from thinking that 80k is a lot for a working loom to buying a few extras for just in case.
Ok so my #NoMansSky ship just got glitched in a tree or something and then exploded, and now I've got to repair it, on top of grinding stuff for the expedition. Nobody got time for that.
#NoMansSky just dropping a MASSIVE update today. Taking what we've been told about game development and just obliterating it. Subs? Nah. Cash shop? No way! Box price alone this entire time. This is mostly why I love this game. Hello Games is such an outlier in the industry. Refusing to bow to "live service" shenanigans they've still built and continue massive development on an amazing product. I'm not really a "Day 1" type person but this I may check out tonight.
In the past, when I would come up with a fun phrase, I would say $FUN_PHRASE is my new band name. Which really started to annoy my band, especially the one dude with money who had to get stickers made.
I have a new outlet for this: In #NoMansSky, I can just drop half a Bil to hire a new frigate, and re-name it.
“Machine Gun Ski Patrol” is my new frigate name. Or maybe “Full-auto Biathlon”
Here’s a #NoMansSky tip I learned. If you make the Sentinels on a planet mad and you don’t care to fight, just dig a hole and jump in. They’ll eventually lose interest. I make a tunnel, then another tunnel at a right angle, and they rarely find their way in there.
