@mark1974: Are other users now visible? I thought the game didnt let you play or see others?
The design aspect is cool but my point is, what does it all mean? Can I see other explorers? Interact? Fight or combine to fight others?
When you see other players they are just a glowing orb with a name. We will likely get player models with the next update.
If you want a game with a lot of fighting or co-op multiplayer this is the opposite kind of game you are looking for and I would advice you to not bother with it. In fact if a game without a point seems like a bad thing then you wont like this game. And there is nothing wrong with that. I like the idea of a game letting you play it however you want and giving you no real direction and just making your own thing out of it. Obviously people like me are going to be in a minority of gamers. I like all kinds of games though and am open to radically different ideas. I like seeing the boundaries pushed and developers trying ambitious ideas even if the game itself fails.
O absolutely love freedom but from everything Ive read and heard, its just going to different planets and gathering resources. Thats not worthy of full price admission and it is meaningless. I mean what kind of adventure am I supposed to have? Games like Fallout, Skyrim, heck even TW3 which I dont like that much, let you explore and do many different things your way and tell your own stories. The GTA series may actually be the best at that. Drive up a mountain, drive off, parachute down, or fly a plane over a city and then glide down to a rooftop. You end up with so many stories to tell your friends.
Not sure if NMS is that if its so basic. BUt I'll keep an eye on various updates.
