Imagine being so bazinga for le nostalgia movie that you pay for a power loader that doesn't power load. That'd be like buying Hicks' shotgun for dae le epic close encounters but it shoots lasers instead of shotgun shells. susie-baffled

Last week I paid less money than that, in CAD, for a physical copy of No Man's Sky on Switch. All content included, no DLC, no microtransactions, no subscription, just all in one package.

And it's the most wonderful game I've ever played. I love that I'm not some meathead space marine blowing up everything that moves. It's more like I'm a stranded Starfleet officer on the other side of the universe, applying their scientific and diplomatic talents to solving mysteries and exploring their new galaxy, whose first instinct is to reach for a tricorder instead of a phaser. This is the video game that I'd dreamed about since I was a child watching the adventures of the crew of the Enterprise-D.

No Man's Sky is like the reverse Star Citizen in that it started as a heap of bullshit and false promises but without increasing the buy-in price a lot of that content that wasn't there on day one started getting added in, and then some, and then some, and then some more. I used to hate the hype machine for NMS before and immediately after it came out but I respect how much it improved since then.

The ingame currency only tractor beams also got nerfed, this is now a required item for moving cargo above a certain size.

Seems like they realised cargo players buy a starter ship and nothing else and that’s simply not an acceptable contribution.

They should be more like the boomers who buy every new fomo pvp fighter but seemingly only sit in stations and complain about pronouns and millenials instead of every actually flying their $800 collection.

They also theorycraft about how their "fleet" will conduct massive combined-arms operations with specialized task formations which somehow makes sense when they're all bound to the buyer and can't all be present at the same time.

Surely even the credulous rubes that have bought into Star Citizen won't pay even more for an Aliens cosplay that uses magic beams because that's a lazy ass-pull that doesn't even do the Aliens nostalgia thing right, right? anakin-padme-2

What you wanted them to actually code collision with the loader and objects? It uses a laser and we slapped a $40 price tag on it, buy it you pigs.
