It’s enjoyable, but I’ve never been really engaged with it. There’s no progression, I don’t feel like my character, equipment, or ships are getting better even though I’m upgrading things. No planet is special, even though they’re all unique.
I think it would be better if you started out in a “settled” region with interesting factions, hand-designed planets, optional quest lines, etc. The infinite procedurally generated stuff would come into play if you push beyond the edges of known space.
Yeah and having an expansive universe with like three languages and three races of intelligent creatures, none of which seem to have any personalities just left it feeling shallow.
There’s no storyline in even the main story. It feels like a vast and lonely universe. I think procedural world generation has largely the same problem as generative AI: infinite slight varieties of responses, all of which are as bland as a HR seminar.
I’ve come to realize over time that I would prefer a completely linear story to games on the other extreme end.
What you’re suggesting sounds very interesting though, linear and more handcrafted content paired with procedural content to pad in the margins. Keep playing forever if you want to, but feel a sense of story and accomplishment in the main storyline.
Edit: that’s probably why the expeditions feel more worth playing… You bump into people because you’re all playing on the same planets, and the star systems you’re playing through are at least somewhat curated.
100% 💪😤 I play on the Switch 2, I’ve been loving it. I took a break for a bit so I can vibe with other games for a bit until I can figure out if I should start playing multiplayer or finish my quests with my base.
I enjoy it. It’s a relaxing, peaceful game. I just wish there were more objectives. The idea of just exploring and finding things doesn’t appeal to me all that much. The game has a lot of potential for combat, both in the spaceship and as a FPS, but both of these areas feel like they could be expanded a bit. Overall, I just wish that there were more combat-focused missions after completing the main storyline.
But it’s still pretty good and I enjoy it when I want to relax.
I think this is why it never quite clicked with me. It’s a gorgeous game and it’s really come such a long way, but personally I could use a bit more direction.
I found the combat frustratingly bland, and Hello Games don’t seem interested in improving it. The first time I played was several years after release, and I was surprised to learn the only two enemy encounters that were at all fun or interesting (the sentinel mech and capital ships) were only recently added. That was years ago, and I don’t think they’ve added any new major enemies since. Last I checked there were less than twenty enemy types in the entire galaxy and most are braindead “approach and shoot at the player until you die” types.
The on-foot weapons also feel anemic and sluggish - even your heavy weapons feel like shooting someone with a Nerf gun while whispering pew pew under your breath until they explode, and your actions will often be delayed waiting for an animation to complete (unstowing your weapon every few seconds being the main offender). Ship weapons are better by virtue of not having animations and being the same as every space game ever.
I hope Light No Fire has more enemy variety and a better-designed combat loop.
Drag would like Arkham Origins please and thank you. Drag already played Knight and is curious if the rest of the series is good. It’s one of the few games drag 100%ed
That’s weirdly aggro for something it’d take you, like, 2 minutes at most to look up and find for yourself. You don’t need to rely on OP or anyone else to do it for you.
First of all you should stop being offended for others. Second I’m not relying on anyone. It’s a thing of convince and it’s the proper thing to do, reference your subject. According to you we should all do our 3 minute research on internet when reading an article, paper, website or book to find the appropriate sources instead of the op should provide… I wonder what kind of a world we would be living in… So, kindly you can and anyone is thinking like you can fuck off as well!
I’m sorry that you’re having such a bad day that you feel that you need to take it out on other people with such aggression. Perhaps you should go for a walk and clear your head.
I’m having an okay day, but primarily struggling with my ADHD and, therefore, time management. I’d appreciate any suggestions to feel a little bit better.
You can fuck right off too… To be honest I’m a very pleasant person in real life. However we both know you’ll think I’m lying and I defend myself by saying you can fuck right off. I wish you a good day/afternoon/evening/night depending on your location.
Yeah, that tracks. It’s a lot easier to be a dick on the internet than to be a dick to someone face to face where there might be actual consequences. I’m sure you’re a very pleasant and not at all toxic person. Definitely.
Nah, it’s better than that but this statement still holds true for me - after several weeks I’ve seen everything (i.e. the patterns behind everything), and that’s when it got repetitive. All in all it’s a very nice game.
That’s been my problem with it as well. I still do like dusting it off every now and again. It has the best land to space travel transition of any game I’ve ever played.
I have done everything but finding goddamn freighter modules to improve my stolen pirate ship. I cannot find the bastard things anywhere and there’s no mod to give them to me 😡
IIRC you can get them through the derelict freighter missions (which take forever and are kind of boring after the first one), or by blasting NPC freighters if you don’t care about reputation.
For the latter I’ve heard (but wasn’t willing to try myself to confirm) that you can just shoot the external cargo modules off of friendly freighters without them becoming mad and summoning sentinels.
I wouldn’t say it’s suitable for kids - there’s a lot of innuendo and crude visual gags. Mid/late teens probably fine, but it’ll depend on your tolerance.
Yeah? Admittedly I’m calibrated to the 80s version of what “PG-13” meant. What was the most risque bit? Mine is pretty comfortable with non sexual nudity and rude humour, but anything sexually explicit he’s probably not ready.
There’s a couple of raunchy jokes. One implies a fish is a man’s penis, and he orgasms when you slap the fish repeatedly. There’s the cow you milk with a motion that imitates male masturbation. Also a couple of body horror stuff that look like an anus you enter into a fleshy intestine like cavern. Lot’s of sexual innuendo in dialogue jokes. Definitely not a kid’s game. Maybe play it first, it is a short game, and gauge if it is proper for your kid before playing it with them. Since the game is linear and most interactions are not optional. It’s more like teen immature humor.
Some of the humor is quite adult but not explicit. I’d expect a lot of it to go over a kid’s head tbh and they’d probably laugh at the silliness. But you, the adult, know what you’re truly laughing at. And if you’re okay with that then the choice is yours.
