This game, man. I barely thought it would live up to the hype, let alone exceed it. I've been playing for four hours straight across only two systems and about five planets/moons, and it has been absolutely and utterly humbling. My breath is being taken away at every turn. I just drowned trying desperately to make my way out of a dark underwater cave on a cold, lonely, massive planet, with ominous growling startling me from far across some rocky, eroded mountains against the backdrop of a massive dark blue system. Earlier I was marveling at a herd of grazing antelope-like creatures on a little yellow paradise of a moon with a pink sky. Creatures were screeching in the distance and tinkling piano chords played in the background. I very much appreciate the technical and leveling aspects such as mining and trading, but most of all, this game has been an extremely emotional experience for me so far. I could barely pull myself away from my first system once I acquired the warp cell. No matter what I'm looking at, I have this excitement and this wonder and frustration that I am inevitably missing so much. I have never, EVER felt this lost. Space just beckons, wordlessly. What a beautiful, beautiful, titanic game. I have no words. Enjoy, everyone. And thank you, Sean and Hello Games. Jeez Louise. |

Hi there. Longtime lurker, first time poster. Can I be real for a second? This community is fricking atrocious right now. You're all acting like a bunch of whiny, entitled little babies. A tiny team of people made an entire universe for you to explore. They made it for YOU, and they're going to wake up tomorrow morning and see that instead of enjoying it, this community of "fans" picked out the 3 or 4 things that weren't perfect and are using that to fricking riot. Guess what? The game was never going to be perfect. It was never going to live up to your hype. It was never going to be everything you'd ever want in a game. What it WAS going to be was an impossibly big universe filled with mysteries and weird stuff I just played it for 2 hours and it was exactly that. What more do you want? Is it buggy? Sure. Is it repetitive? Maybe. Is the inventory system imperfect and the multiplayer feature questionable and the structure unclear? Sure, fine. But holy crap what do these people OWE YOU? How fricking entitled do you have to be to explore an infinite universe in a spaceship and then say "yeah but..." We should all be fricking weeping in our chairs right now at the sheer size and scale of the achievement. We should be showering the people behind this thing with the praise they deserve for pulling off one of the most inspiring games in recent memory. Hello Games doesn't owe you the world. Yet they gave you 18 QUINTILLION of them. If you have the fricking audacity to complain about it then you don't deserve it and you were never fans in the first place. |
