maybe. I had enough of the tryhards and cheating. MP is a cesspit. The last MP I somewhat enjoyed was Foxhole and a game that went broke, but had a small and dedicated community. You know it is when you remember the names that pop into the lobby all the time.
At the very least I can keep you updated over the weekend, if I think the game is worth 70/100 bucks
Pretty sure this is fresh enough not to have been posted here:

I appreciate you early testers. Fire away. I don't mind spoilers too much, ber sensible about it and put story behind spoiler bars. Game isnt spoiler and I know the risks of visiting the internet. Hit me with what you got.
I disagree, but to each their own. I want to freely explore planets in any direction such as ED, yet we get a limited set of segmented tiles (landing areas).

Indeed.
Also, are the tiles randomly generated?
Will i actually be able to get a landing POI in the exact location that i was once explored but i no longer have a Custom POI because we have a very limited (5?) numbers of those and they get overwritten "as needed"
Is there any consistency in the generation of tiles and the relation with the nearby tiles?
These are the questions that bugs me - because i'm interested if the 1000 planets are.. well... planets... or collections of randomly generated tiles with jpeg walls.
I mean... muh immersion!11!!
Same here, it's basically my greatest grievance with Starfield. Fallout and Skyrim are great games because of their open world. I can walk forever into one direction and just look what I might come across. Takeing that experience away with small tiles, might backfire for Bethesda, even if the game world is supposed to be "a lot bigger" than Skyrim or Fallout. It doesn't matter, if it doesn't feel that way.
We'll see tomorrow.

I'll stop speculating based on leaked info. We'll find out Tomorrow.

I think it was mentioned a bit further up that even if you are on a tile that borders the edge of a city tile you won't be able to see the city, it looks like any views you get will be a randomly generated sky box, so what you can see in the next tile won't have any relationship to what's actually in the next tile, which is a bit.....annoying to say the least. For instance, "Ooh there's a nice river in the next tile, I must go and look at that," (arrives at river tile) "Ahh the magma, it burns." Lol!
Not sure who this guy is, but he isn't someone I'd watch again.
Regards the game. It's similar to the way Empyrion started, iirc it was around a third of the planet you could explore. That did change later.
However !
Bethesda will make very good detailed areas so it is something you just have to accept for more detail.
This isn't a game I would regard as a general space game, it's exploration and story, with space nailed on.
I do think it will be a good game for what it is, just another game, pretty & story driven. If that is what you like then great. I'll play it, I'm sure it will be a good story game with slightly controlled exploration.
Not gonna lie, that video is pretty cool and gives me goosebumps. And yep, watching this I also cannot help but thinking "Damn, that could have been Elite: Odyssey"

Yup, there's no info yet on lava flows and there might not be any water worlds (planet covered completely or mostly by water).

Yeah, you know how it is. In space games the arid planets prevail. Less flora and fauna and no water physics.
My point is - moving the mouse over planet - are the tiles identifiable? will i be able to generate a POI for a tile that i visited in the past?
Or the moment the old custom POI is deleted the new one will be a completely random one, which means it's just a random pixel on a fake planet that will get a random tile
Because 10 minutes of running apparently means about 25 square kilometers (haven't done the math, so there is that) and for example Moon surface is about 38 millions square kilometers which means 1.5 millions tiles.
So, do the 1000 planets have each like millions of tiles or... well.. not that many, because let's face it, the tiles dont match with the neighboring tiles because it's not that kind of game and so those planets are not that kind of planets
I know how proc gen works, i know that in ED if my 3 commanders all land at specific coordinates, they all 3 will see the exact same terrain
But if i land somewhere in SF in a custom POI and i post screenshots, will you be able to land in the same location and get the same tile and the same scenery?
Or will you be getting a completely random one?
Guess we will see soon
Yeah looking forward to early reviews tomorrow. Hopefully could find some honest one, instead of clickbates for hype.
Ladder climbing confirmed.
