Man, another update to the game. And I've only bought it once.

Is it just me or is the game really struggling to maintain a stable framerate?

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I didn't have any major issues, even when I was on the old CPU. On the new setup its butter smooth 100% of the time.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Oooh, next release "Frontiers".

Base Building overhaul. I am excite.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

So, I guess in honor of Dune, they updated NMS so you can tame the sandworms lol.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Holy shit, I need to load up NMS again!

Never have I played a game that has continued to receive FREE content updates YEARS after I bought it.

It's a good example of what a live service game should be.

The expeditions are fun, because you get collectables out of them. And you have to start from scratch, so there's a "goal".

NMS always feels a bit aimless. After a while in progression, you just reach a point where you delete the save and start over.

This freighter update gives me hope that one day they'll make it so that after some progression you can build/buy your own custom starship or freighter. Rather than rely on the Random spawn.

Never played astroneer, heard of it though.


The game is fun, and much improved from what it launched as.

It can be a bit of a grind at times. The inventory system really still needs an overhaul. And the crafting system is definitely too complex at first.

But, the exploration is fun.

It’s the kind of game you can play, put down for a few months, and when you come back to it, it’s got a host of new features so you can play it again.

The core storyline is a bit of a joke.

I’ve still never taken over a settlement and played that game style. I prefer the explorer play style.

But you can play a pirate, trader, bounty hunter,explorer etc. none of them are classes so you can do anything and everything.

Man its been so long since I've played this game...... Might be time to jump back in and have absolutely no idea how to do anything I think last time I played I was building myself a house on some planet and trying to mine resources to sell shit at space stations....... I have this on PS and xbox, cant remember which one I have more progress on. I also still have never tried out the VR mode on PS. God that's gotta be trippy

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Jeebus, yet another update. This is the game that keeps on giving.

Yeah still haven't gone back to the game but now that have psvr2, and you don't need to be an electrical engineer and set aside half your night for setup/takedown....... MAYBE......................
