Seems to me that would add unnecessary complexity to programming the game for a feature that would literally never be used.

It's fine since I was being sarcastic as well.
My point, however obscured by my wording, is that in NMS there is literally nothing to do at all. You can go from planet to planet, contemplate, probably even shoot things (yes? I haven't paid attention) and stuff. But "anything" actually does mean a lot more than that.
Since I'm a diehard fan of fallout (the good ones), I'll base my argument on comparison NMS' in-game possibilities to F2 (1998) simply because I see it as a game with freedom done right. One of the very few
Can you create your character to be a brainless retard who can't speak anything but hurr durr? A genious genious scientist who fixes and changes every tech he encounters to work for him? A sly sexy beast who's too weak to fight and seduces everybody instead? A hexed weirdo who comes through any pickle by a sheer luck because everybody around him just blow themselves up trying to kill you?
Can you become a famous boxer?
Can you become a porn star? Or fail at becoming one, settling for sucking a dick for coppers?
Can you become a respectable gangster? A sheriff? A caravan security guard? A whore? A meth manufacturer and dealer? A slaver? A ranger fighting slavers? A smuggler? A drug addict who can't put together two sentences because of horrific withdrawals?
Can you purge every living being you encounter with flamethrower, including animals and children? Can you break one's legs with a crowbar and then watch them crawl away from you while you throw rocks at them for fun? Or the opposite - never shoot a gun or hit anyone once?
I could go on for a long time with this, but the most important thing: can you do all mentioned above and still beat the game?

>An open world sandbox game doesn't allow you to play how you like, or have any game mechanics other than flying.
What's the point of having billions of planets when you can't settle down and create a little world for yourself?
What's the point if you can't be a little creative with the places you visit?
It just seems counter-intuitive to create billions of locations and having only one of those locations matter.

And then at the center, there's just probably going to be some 2deep4u bullshit saying something about how our restless ventures towards one absolute goal mean nothing, and how those that carve out a home for their-selves are more happy in the end.

>One is scientifically viable, and necessary for interstellar travel. Another is a cheap gimmick for lazy players.

You are so desperate for reasons to like this game you've resorted to using the method in which one fasts travels between points as a selling point. There is absolutely no difference other than purely visual between a loading screen and a "hyperspace animation". In fact the animation could be used as a loading screen, like they do when traveling to planets in Destiny.

The first thing I am going to do is make a pirate fleet by using run and gun tactics to disrupt planetary trade routes picking up recruits along the way as we build a resistance and continually starve planets until they surrender to us unconditionally. Then I will make mutant life forms out of the population that will be like orcs in 40k which will be ground troops for invasions of other galaxies. If I find one of you faggots out there I will steal your ship and drop you off on an abandoned planet and make sure that you have a fleet of orcs to deal with as I continue my onslaught of the galaxy.

Well isn't it obvious that "you can do anything" phrase is just a manner of speaking? I've watched some of their videos where they clearly implied (even stated occasionally) the mythical "infinite possibilities", and in the context that sounded a lot like "you'll be able to do anything".

You said it yourself, to travel to the center of the universe. If that's the goal, then you won't be able to visit those billions of places.

None of which will have variety. They'll all have the same spawn behavior, with a few slight seed modifications. We won't see an unstable crystalline world, for example. Nor will we be able to explore a planet on fire because of a nearby sun going supernova.

and see how truly deluded most of these people are, I distinctly remember the same type of stuff around Spore where people were going into great detail about how deep the evolutionary systems would be.

There are people who constantly post about this here, in the same one two two spaced sentence format. The OPs of these threads all either use the header, or a picture of the developers tweet about the game going gold. It's pretty obvious why that's happening.

I worry more for the naive people who genuinely believe these kinds of things, based off of stuff that hasn't even been shown, likely discussed only in press by the same people pushing the "it'll take 5 billion years to see it all" meme. 4.9 of those billion years will be spent seeing it all over and over, but in a green that's one shade lighter.

At least Peter Molyneux had to work for years to reach a position where he could tell this many lies to naive children. These days any two bit indie hack could do it just off of shovelware like Joe Danger and some Sony money.

>It's literally just a compilation of the differents infos known

Here's the issue; next to none of that is "known." It's what people who are paid literally to lie and exaggerate are saying to the press, which is never present in the videos they actually show of the game. To clarify: i'm not saying that the features not shown in any trailers or on-stage showings thus far DON'T exist, just that until the game actually comes out... It's Schrödinger's game feature.

Put it to you this way, in my opinion the hype that came from Spore was in some cases justified, because what was being said to the press at the time was some revolutionary stuff. The issue was on release next to none of that extra game-changing stuff was in the game. So when someone goes out to X outlet, of course X outlet wants to know about some stuff Y outlet hasn't reported yet.

This is how it always works, but for some reason, only in some cases, rather than just giving away actual features, they'll just make it up. For me that was what drove the Spore train off a cliff, because for some reason they had no leash on their own press jockeys. Doing the same type of stuff as whoever it was who tried to claim, literally, it would take billions of years to see all of NMS. Just maybe tone the bullshit down to a 6/10.

Okay, and to those people I ask you to step outside and look at all the stars in the sky. Notice how they all look the same? The universe is kinda fucking huge and I'm willing to bet a lot of those stars out there, get kinda samey after number 10,000 or so and we're talking about a game with 5 billion (yes, with a B) planets.
>QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Friendly reminder that most of us will only ever discover like, 12 planets and I can promise you they'll feel pretty custom tailored and hand crafted despite the "procederual generation". Maybe if you start exploring hundreds or thousands of planets, you'll have notice a bit of deja vu but the sad reality is, is that the universe is pretty much like that as well, so you might want to get over it.

>I see no reason why any of the features they haven't shown wouldn't be in the game

Your own sentence includes within it, if you look really close, why. It has something to do with what they have, or in this case haven't, displayed. There is nothing to show there. By your own logic, in 4 years, why have the actuall features shown in trailers, on stages, in exclusive previews for game sites... Been the same? Why, if this game has all of this stuff added in over the years to give it depth, would you not... Show it.

>Also please stop talking about Spore and comparing it to NMS

This is the exact same thing they did in the press, though. None of that depth was in the final product. Many people decided to blame it on EA, but more than likely Wright just was too ambitious with his ideas. He also had the know-how and funds behind him (even despite EA never wanting to do much) to do much better. This is not the case with Sean Murray.

Just as another example, I can't remember how to search through my history to find the article in question, but early on when NMS was being discussed in the press, Murray or someone similarly high up in the company was discussing how they made sure their procedural generation was top-notch. They said they had a program which actively checked clients, to ensure the optimal rate of random "new" objects in different shapes and colors than seen/generated before. This sounds good, except now they have a GoG release, which would have none of the always online connectivity enabling this "feature." Moreover, they themselves have said that they have confidence in the code behind the generation, but if that were the case, why would they need a program to run cursory checks on clients and ensure that? This is the type of stuff you have to police, someone somewhere (in the press) said something about this which ends up conflicting with their own later statements on the game. This is the same thing that went on with Spore.

I'm not sure if you can't read or what, but my post literally says I only believe what I see and they aren't showing even a quarter of what is on that database. At some point you're going to have to come to terms with your own arguments, after 4 years there is no excuse to show the same stale loot and scoot feedback loop if this game has actual depth to it.

The analogy is shit but this isn't actually why. See in this context, given what I actually posted (rather than your simplification,) the argument made was that merely discussed features do not exist in any sense until you bear witness to them. The self described "state" of the item was implied by people lying to the press despite the item itself not existing in a form to check.

I mean, again, even my own post admits it was a shit analogy, but it wasn't fucking food, this time. Do you want food, next time? I can gladly give you an even worse one.

Just wait until the year 2020 or some shit.

>mfw I will probably live to see the year 2020, 2040 and maybe 2075

I swear if I can't get a female/futa cyborg body and cyberbrain I am fucking done with this shitty planet.

why not make your fucking space travel a bit more engaging it's fucking space travel
and let people build fucking bases
and make your planets persistent in your god damn SINGLE PLAYER game

>let me tell you what you think

Did this shitty strawman work when your single mother tried it on you? Literally nothing i've said was anything like this. The database (factually) includes features which have not been seen. Spore (factually) was marketed in the same fashion, lies and exaggeration to the press. You (factually) have failed to argue any points made in my posts.

>Please show me a video from 4 years ago showing this.

???

Your own post mentioned your trust in them and the features they claim exist was based on the fact that they've been developing this for 4 years. In this time frame, every single trailer they have shown is almost identical in terms of the depth of action portrayed. The database linked includes a ton of "features" which sound great, but for some reason aren't shown at all. However, they've discussed them, by your logic, that means they exist. Either they are already showing everything, or they aren't and some of this is a lie.

The reason people keep bringing Spore up is the same thing happened then, and it was a lie then, just like it is now. Show me a trailer with any sort of depth past the same old loot and scoot you get in minecraft clones, or come to terms with your conceptual abortion.

All I wanted is some sense of fucking scale, not spore level shit.
Real sized planets, proper atmospheric layer with actual seamless transaction (without that hidden load bullshit), actual orbits for moons, asteroids and comets, draw distance further than 10 fucking meters and without that terrible popping, more than one fucking biome per planet.

more like 6 gb

the 'we haven't seen everything in the game so it's gonna be shit' argument that plagues these threads is such a fucking meme. so is the 'they've shown no gameplay' bullshit. we've seen shittons of gameplay. what you're saying is that you haven't seen the gameplay in enough context. there's no story. no levels. no missions. just a list of things you can do and an infinite fractal space to do them in with one overarching and vague goal and some 'lore', which i can guarantee you has a few non-procedural elements to prevent you from completely missing it. if you don't like that, tough shit, but what you've seen is gameplay. you just haven't *experienced* it yet, in context. none of the shit they've promised is in any way outlandish if you accept the fact that the procedurally generated universe works. all the other stuff is relatively trivial.

Sound like someone wasn't around for Spore.

You also mentioned Freelancer first, which indicates to me you're closer to that in age than you were to Elite. I'm just happy they're making space games again though tbqh, even if they (some of them, anyway) wont have any of the usual sim depth.

Let me repeat, this game is not about building a base. Play Minecraft for that experience.
>>345434332
Planets are fully scaled. Watch our latest EXPLORE trailer to see the scale.

If you actually read the thread you'd see that plenty of people brought up the issues, and were either ignored or told they were wrong, despite all evidence to the contrary.

The game does have moons and orbits and stuff, scale definitely seem bigger than Spore. One biome per planet doesn't bother me but I can understand why it would.

Popping is ass but the webm you posted is pretty old, I think it looks better in the recent videos.

No idea what you mean by "hidden load".

Ok. No comment on fleet buildin and intergalactic civilisations? Sounds like your game is pretty fucking boring then.

would be pretty awkward if it was because you can't do it
