Hey Guys, i have logged 15+ hours on ps4. Game becomes very repetitive very fast, there is not content like a Skyrim or Fallout.

Im hearing this same thing from a lot of reviewers and 6 mins to go, I haven't been this torn in awhile on a game. I'm eager for something new to play this weekend but there clearly are some warning signs.

I am afraid to say until I get this installed. My system plays ARK pretty well and a few others that are new with the 960 4g.

I hear that Blazin, I am going into it knowing there is going to be repetition. I have a 2 years old and I am a SAHD now so I only get like 20-45 minutes a session to play anything so it will take me a tone of time to get through this one.

Wife is going to be gone all weekend so I just decided to say "Fuck it. I'll binge." I actually just walked into a Gamestop and picked up a copy (figured I could trade it in if I hated it, as opposed to digital), and left without buying it. As much as I like the premise, I just can't get past the reported shortcomings for $60. It's not looking good on Metacritic.

It's a no brainer at $30 I think and it's not that I really care about the money but I hate to promote companies charging $60 for games that don't earn it.

Yeah, if this does ok-well and is $60, imagine what the pricing on other indie titles with hype will start being.

Long as they deliver some free updates before DLCing it to death, I'm okay at 60 bucks.

Yeah, like I said before, I would absolutely pick it up at $30. I think it is worth that as a technical demonstration and it seems to have a lot of potential. I also don't have any financial concerns but I just object to the AAA price on principal. If I'm going to pay AAA, I expect a lot of depth. As in "Holy SHIT it's 3am!". I'm looking at you Civ 5. And X-Com.

Yeah you either will really love this game or hate it. No middle ground. If you like relaxed immersion type experiences, it's probably the best thought out game I have seen since Star Flight. People expecting PvP twitch story hand holding are going to hate it.

Incoming Steam forum meltdown, game won't launch for shitloads of people (including me) on start up.

El oh el.

You can have a great weekend with this... however i don't see the point in playing much more myself, once you have seen a few pretty planets and explored a few caves, you kinda seen em all.

Maybe in the future mods or DLC will add more to the aliens you see, space stations and settlements.

Is the game a blurry fucking mess on the PS4?...because it is on the PC. 21:9 is in, btw, if anyone cared, but even at the highest settings the game looks like I have Vaseline smeared across the screen.

If you bought it on Steam, my suggestion is don't even bother trying to start it yet, so you don't go past the two hour mark.

Be ready to refund if this turns into a shit show (likely at this moment)

The issue TB is having is with hitching and I think the sound just died. Sounds worse than the PS4 issues people were reporting which might explain why they released PC later.
