@vaidream45: Going to be honest here, this game looks like the biggest fraud I have seen. With all the money behind it, all the massive promises, and all the missteps, I have huge doubts about it.

@sSubZerOo: they sure have made every mistake in the book lol. I too am frightened that it may be a big let down. Things seem....broken. The vision was amazing but something is just going really wrong.

Back on topic though, was there a video released about the pro gen aspect of the game?

@blueeyedcasva: you're still no closer delegitimizing the space sim genre

but it's not a "sim", it's a "space sim", two separate words creating one signifier, just like "console exclusive" is not an "exclusive", or hot dogs are not dogs, language is a living thing and meaning is reinforced by the those who speak it, as far as the language of gaming is concerned, No Man's Sky qualifies as a space sim

you're not going to redefine a well established genre

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_flight_simulator_games

"space sims" as a genre has existed and has been referred to as such for decades, and they include everything from realism heavy games to casualized space flight games. Sometimes they're just called "space sims", sometimes "space flight sims" or "space combat sims". It's a genre label that's been referred to and reinforced by the gaming community and is widely established nomenclature. It includes realism heavy games like Star Citizens or more casualized experiences like X-Wing / Tie Fighter, Wing Commander, Colony Wars.

And no, there's no equivalency of calling BF a military sim because that isn't something anybody ever says when referring to video games.

I don't even know if you're trolling, or just a genre nazi (like those people are like "Dead Space isn't survival for because durrrrrr"). But you gotta make a better case about why No Man's Sky doesn't qualify under the established gaming genre of "space sim" without redefining the entire genre to date.

How you figure that? It's well within the confines of the space sim genre. Being a "sim" doesn't necessitate it strive to achieve utmost realism.

I hope this game proves that space sim games don't need to be so sim heavy.
