Caltrops - No Man's Sky





	[quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]Make no mistake, if you got a refund you made the right choice. If you're on the fence, DO NOT BUY unless some heroic patches arrive. (I'm holding out hope based on a reddit thread where someone said the problem was with Nvidia cards and that a new driver was forthcoming next week) But once I got the graphics settings tweaked to something approaching acceptable and understood that every time I moved to a new location the game would chug for a couple seconds as it generated the landscape... I started having some fun. Now mind you I always was just expecting a 3D SPAZ with great ambiance, so I'm probably not as let down as some people who were expecting some kind of living universe. I actually started over again several times (in part because preorder DLC ships fuck up the tutorial missions at the moment) and it seems to me the game is more linear than it pretends, with planets growing more and more populated by structures the closer you get to the center. I expect as I continue on I'll encounter more hostile wildlife and more space battles. You CAN hang out on one planet collecting upgrades, but that seems to be a recipe for over-leveling. Atmospheric and space flight isn't that awful, actually. The KB+M controls are just fucked up at the moment. It's supposed to be flight control method. Mouse vertical is pitch, horizontal is yaw, A & D are roll. If you use roll + pitch, not only is your turn speed improved, it also seems to override some of that passive autopilot that prevents you from crashing. I like how every planet has its own procedural music. I've visited several shitholes, but when I finally came across a pretty planet with a good song, yeah it created that mood I was looking for since the trailer. So at the moment I would NOT recommend buying this game... but I don't necessarily regret my own purchase.[/quote] Understood. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is dropping on August 23rd, though, which will 9/11 to this game's Chandra Levy it right out of anyone ever thinking about it again. Oh well, at least they got 10 days for their corrupt as fuck game journo buddies to promote the shit out of a broken game that has difficulties with tutorial stability. Youre a good man for attempting it, Mischief Maker.[/quote]
