Yeah I mean, any game where I can fly in space and go around to different planets I'll certainly buy and play. But getting hyped up for it hasn't happened yet.

Isn't that what 99% of most games are, a really nice engine with a few aspects of gameplay?

Look I understand why people are intrigued, just to me it does nothing. I like the concept, but I probably wouldn't play it.

If other games are nice engines sprinkled with gameplay, this is a nice engine sprinkled with one sprinkle on it.

The big question with No Man's Sky is how you will feel exploring your 10th planet. Will it be "I wonder what new and surprising things I'll find there?" or will it be "I wonder what slightly different flavor of bland I'll get this time?"

You are right. People didn't explore their 300th randomly seeded Minecraft world. People aren't STILL playing Skyrim today even though that isn't randomly generated.

I understand people still play those, but I don't think normal people do. I had fun in Skyrim, beat the story, explored a bit, and that was it. The guys that are still playing have something wrong with them. Something sick.

Mentally ill? Good lord, I must be insane then because I still play all the Souls games religiously.

I dunno, looking back at what made Minecraft not as fun as it could have been was the lack of procedural civilizations. Is NMS going to go that far? Part of the appeal to me would be TNG style serial encounters on each thing, sometimes just plants and animals, sometimes, aggressive expansionist aliens with superior technology you run from and hope to outsmart and ultimately overtake.

There are indeed alien factions who war with each other. You can take sides and trade with them from what I understand.

Is there any sort of coop then like Minecraft? If so it could prove to be extremely fun.

While you exist in the same Universe as other players, I don't think they've built in any social tools at all. Like... not even chat. And the universe is so big, and you start out spread so far apart, that you may never encounter another player unless you intentionally try to by communicating outside of the game.

That's shite. I don't care at all about finding other randoms but co-op Minecraft best Minecraft.

No Man's Sky is some super vague concept for now. They came out and explained a lot of detailed stuff, but haven't actually shown that detailed stuff in action, all they've shown is the boring random shit, and even that doesn't look random, it looks more like a demo put together specifically. So yeah, I'm not hyped one bit about the game because I have no fucking idea what they're going to actually deliver. I'm sure flying from one planet to another and shit is going to be fun for a few hours, but I don't know if it'll make an actual game, one that's fun to play for more than those few hours or has any sort of depth. So I'm just waiting to see the full game. The hype for this game feels like a Molyneux game hype.
