Got it on the PS4, whilst they've fixed a lot of missing content, when I play it, I wish I was playing ED.

Interesting...
+Rep
Just read that myself and while I do have it on the PC (and then planets are awesome - so much better than Astroneer imo) I will only get it on XBOX if they add proper co-op.
Currently it's possible to meet other players BUT they are just shiny orbs :-( I want to see the other player and his ship build a base together.
I think it would be a lot of fun to play NMS like I do Elite in a Wing, but no word yet if this is what they will be adding in the NEXT update...
There is a lot to like about it, i think its been poorly executed though. My son likes playing it, he thinks its a space exploration version of minecraft.

I probably will get it. Elite is a game I take very seriously. NMS could be the relaxing game I'm looking for.
It's definitely worth a try, depending on cost. I've a feeling that it's not going to be anywhere as deep as ED but it does have a ship that looks a little like the Vipers from the original Battlestar Galactica series...

Its not as relaxing as people make out. For example, you're on a planet mining a large lump of gold to sell, you find yourself constantly looking for sources of carbon to replenish your multitool. Oops, You accidentally hit a sentinel, now you have to fight them off, but oh damn, now i need to reload and whats that, the temperature has dropped/acid rain has started to fall/large creatures are trying to eat you???
Add an acidic planet to the mix where you find lots of whatever substance you're after, but you're against the clock because the acid is slowly killing you whilst you are searching for more energy for your multitool.
It used to be a pain just to replenish your multitool charge but they streamlined that a little.
I like it, but ED is better. Sure, you have atmospheric planetary landings and you can have abase, legs and even vehicles. All of this comes at great cost......grind it is indeed.
As for the ship designs, well you can get one that looks like the Viper, you can also get one that looks like a cross between the Viper and an X Wing, and one that's crossed with a TIE fighter too. But, these can (but not always) be hard to find, depending on what system you're in. Its not like ED where you can go and buy a specific ship, these you have to be lucky enough to find.
Combat is awful as the ship controls are terrible.
All of the above being said, it can be relaxing at times, it also looks fantastic in comparison with the planets and star systems of ED. That plus they have been updating it so perhaps they have addressed a lot of the issues with it.
He's promised big changes are coming with the 'NEXT' update. Only time will tell. I liken Sean Murray to a snake oil salesman. He pulled a fast one, but got found out.

Shouldn't this be in off topic? The more threads that place gets, the better, surely.
And yeah, I saw the news this morning. I probably will get it (mostly for the music, frankly... ), but Baby's First Elite is pretty much how I'll view it, and that's fine (to be fair not even Elite is as sim as I'd like it to be). Ideally space games need to be diverse in order to build their popularity, but NMS's launch was so controversial and so full of flat out lies that I'm not sure how much it's contributed to the genre, if at all, which is a shame.
Xbox newcomers will certainly be getting a vastly improved experience to those unfortunate to play it on day1, so in this case a long delay is a good thing.

Yep, sounds like a fun diversion!
Imho ED can use some competition on the Xbox.
I think I'll wait for NMS to come on sale before I buy it, the exreme colorful presentation will probably drive me wild.

I'm not sure it will give Elite direct competition, but yeah, hopefully it does because it sure as hell desperately needs it.
I'm still smarting from spending £8 for a ship kit...
Thanks for the rep Greylock!
Been interesting to see everyone's views.
No idea when it's released but I'll probably give it a go.
Like most people, I don't think it'll pull me away from ED but it'll be nice to try something a bit different now and again (just like girlfriends
(only joking if she reads this!))You’re joking....right? Please tell me people aren’t paying that much real money for a virtual spaceship. Save my faith in humanity Mole. Tell me youre full of horse poo lol.
You can't be serious? People have already dropped a lot more than £500 on ships for it. We're easily in the $1000's...game's not even officially out yet and it's already a joke and a hive of villainy...

Well. Damn. I guess it’s true. One born every minute. That’s beyond $10 here or even up to $60 there for dlc/extra content. No video game ever. Past present or future, could possibly be worth that much money.
