No Man's Sky: Everything Destiny Isn't (Gameplay-wise) (Destiny)
I'll agree with lots of that post. NMS got a lot right that Destiny failed on, and Destiny got a lot right hat NMS failed on.
NMS is full of frustrations for me, but they're minor and will largely go away as I figure out the game. I feel NMS could have really used some more blind play testing before release. My bro-in-law was telling me the 'tutorial' portion was tacked on in the day 1 patch, it certainly feels like it to me, it could have been vastly improved upon.
Combat isn't that great. Aiming is harder than it should be, and I think I have trouble telling where I'm getting hit from. How the crap do I reload? oh, I just stumbled onto it after almost dying, it's square, there's no prompt telling you how to reload, I thought I had to go into my multitool & refuel it the way you do other things. The game's full of things like that which should have been found & improved on (unless the developers want people fumbling around not knowing how to reload their gun-mode of the multi-tool and never learning you can build bypass chips & actually use those beacons).
I lost a whole ships worth of supplies when I finally figured out how to get rid of that annoying "you have unredeemed items" prompt (what do you mean I have to transfer supplies to my new ship? How am I supposed to do that when redeeming my pre-order bonus ship straight up deletes & replaces my old ship full of supplies? Oh, also, in doing so I missed out on the tutorial on how to get warp fuel? AUGH!) Oh, and I just found out you can make bypass chips.
Anyway, annoyances aside, it's a fairly fun game and I'm excited to play it again tonight.
Edit: maybe I didn't entirely miss out on the tutorial on how to get warp fuel, I'll just have to pick it up later on, maybe? so confusing.
You're spot on. Apparently there's a bug with the warp *drive* if you never made that in your original ship and you may be stuck for a while looking for abandoned factories that may or may not have the blueprint. As for fuel, I was given my first fuel by an NPC, and didn't learn how to make my fuel until my 2nd system. My advice after reading other people post about it is that if you don't have the warp drive, you're likely better off starting over than hunting for the blueprint. Fuel, on the other hand, shouldn't be too big of an issue. Do the system scan and follow the beacons - should get you some.
At least for me, the tutorial broke down like:
- Fix your spaceship, go to orbit.
- Beacon appears on another planet in the same system.
- Go to beacon and the guy gives you a material to build a warp drive. Mission says go to space station.
- Go to space station and buy the last item you need to build the drive. New beacon appears on a planet.
- Go to that beacon and a guy gives you fuel for the warp drive.
- Fly to next system.
- New beacon appears on a planet there.
- Go to that beacon and you get the recipe for making fuel.
That's about as far as I've gotten in the game.
