I like playing solo. It's ok with me if I can or can't see other people.

Not to mention it's been out for less than 24 hours. I wouldn't be surprised if not everything was working as intended, which is normal for new released games.

Watching a stream now, this seems pretty insane. Guy is on a planet, sees another one, just hops in his ship and starts the journey toward it. I have a feeling I'm going to end up grabbing this.

Is this game all online where players are all in the same universe? Or is it just randomly generated planets for every single player?



I believe it all is the same universe, like you can find planets and species of animals on planets that people have discovered and named. It all runs on one server.

I get bored soooo quickly doing solo games like this.

If I have some friends to sit around to chat/play with while having a few drinks is far more fun for me in a game like this

I'm fine with communicating with others. I just don't want to rely on anyone else. I play MMOs almost exclusively solo.

There is no multiplayer. Two dudes on reddit just met and they couldn't see each other

I just landed on an irradiated planet covered in red with a red sky. Pretty sure I'm gonna a die here. There's no plutonium to be found. Guess I'll name it Reggies.

I have no clue what I'm doing

Nice! I just left an outpost where dead bodies were being consumed by some parasitic lifeforms. I took their money and data and ran for the hills. The game went from Zen like to crap my Huggies in 2 seconds. Good stuff.

I think this game is a gypsy.

I just blinked and 5 hours had passed with me exploring 3 systems and about 2 planets in each.

Man i don't have time for all of this shite. This is by far the most engrossing game of all time. Just the level of things to do, discover, upgrade, kill, is unconscionable.

If hello games manages to somehow patent their formula, those dudes will never have to make another game again.

Imagine a game with cities...buildings, people, various plant life, all procedurally generated.

NMS is the Avatar of the game world at the moment.

I've been stopping at planets here and there. I've mostly just been traveling through the Atlas mission. That's where I discovered the black hole anomoly/path.

First warp I did, I ran right into a ship fight. It didn't go so well...

What they have here is a damn solid base. Now they just have to build on it

Glad I didn't read much about this before starting.

Enjoying figuring out what to do without knowing what I'm getting into.

Mystic, sadly I didn't take any pics of the outpost( had to leave working nights) but I did find other examples similar to my own experience. Here's a link. Look for the comments t from xanadu May CONTAIN SPOILERS. LINK
There was definitely something sinister going on from the guys data file. I found this outpost on the first planet I was stranded on. Not a lush planet. Did have a lot of isotopes and metals though. Got a ton of gold that scored me a lot of units. When I pick up Tom. I'll try to go back to the planet and find the outpost.
