It makes no sense to me. You make a universe-sized exploration game bursting with diverse life and landscapes and then focus it on...mining resources???

It seems more like a tech demo than a game. Maybe one day someone will make a game out of it.

The idea of needing some item to increase your inventory slots is inherently stupid. Games need to stop this shit.

Something tells me this game will have a ton of updates and will evolve over the next year or two.

I was just thinking today that EA/LucasArts has done a great job with battlefront. The DLC's and updates have consistently offered good evolutions in gameplay, and their releases have been paced out perfectly.

I ended up buying the Season Pass when it was on sale last week. I'm enjoying the game much more than any FPS of the past few years.

It sounds like No Mans Sky was so slow close do being a supremely epic experience but at the same time completely missed the mark.

Maybe down the road after updates and expansions it will be the game we all want it to be.

I'm enjoying fuckkng around in it. It's half survival, half cataloging. Kinda like Pokemon snap if you had to find resources to power your camera
