I usually play more single player games so when I saw starfield is coming out in 3 months I got in a space game mood and decided to try out no man’s sky and the reason I said surprisingly wholesome is because usually the people who play survival games aren’t the friendliest bunch you know what I mean games like dayz or rust you try to meet up with people and they either kill you and shout slurs or grief you or back stab you along the way so anyway while doing the tutorial quests I got into the anomaly for the first time and checked out the place for a bit and this random dude invited me into his group I joined them I told them I was new and they immediately helped me out we did a bunch of stuff together one of them gave me a bunch of shit to sell which I used to buy a new ship and he even showed me how to build a base and even when I asked how to get more blueprints they helped and showed me how to find those buried tech for the salvaged data but anyways my point is props to the NMS community for being so helpful to new players can’t wait to grind further 🔥🔥🔥

Sometimes the loneliness the game makes me feel is incredibly wild, I will go from happily exploring and building, to suddenly being hyper aware of how I’m bascially on a life sized planet populated by a bunch of npcs with the intellectual capacity of a tamagotchi. The nearest person probably a billion km away..

Kinda flowing between loving and hating it the feeling. I have found myself many times, just shutting the game down if it feels too intense!

I am 15 hours in, got my self an S class Explorer have 12 mil in bank. I am completely and utterly lost in any of the missions and their story’s it all seems gobbldegook to me, so confusing. Having to keep mining copper is doing my head in, its repetitive and boring, never enough back pack space I hate it…..

And yet, I keep wanting to play it, I look forward to playing it when I get home from work, a cheeky 20 mins turns into 3 hours. What is it with this game? I still can’t work out what’s brining me back.

I land on a planet and lets face it you have seen everything in the first 10 mins. I know there is cobalt in caves, I know scanning everything is pretty pointless. Iv seen the same building and trade hubs a 1000x on 20 or so planets. So while I am enjoying the game, I don’t know what I am doing, have zero understanding of the story, there are no cut scenes, combat is naff, rarely see other players..

Why do we love this game? I don’t know!!

… boots up xbox series x for a quick go….

Infuriating af. Everything else is super easy to find but whenever fauna says rare and underground it’s harder to find than shiny ditto in pokemon. Been on this planet for six hours and gone through over 50 caves to no avail and there isn’t any single building and maps can’t be used here so
