Found this while exploring in far cry 5


Kalyx triaD 04-04-2018 03:19 AM

Fuck that

Fignuts 04-04-2018 07:52 AM

No Man's Sky is coming to xbox this summer. They are also launching their next big update for the game, which will be free as always. Last major updates added lots of cool stuff.

Most people guessing the big gimmick for the next update will be true multiplayer.

Divisive game. Even with everything they've added since release, it's not for everybody. Still very grindy, and involves a lot of "making your own fun", so if you like linear experiences with clearly set goals, it still doesn't really have that.

I really liked it though. I love exploring, and playing while listening to a new album or podcast. Good "chill" game.

Fignuts 04-04-2018 07:54 AM

After the ups and downs overwatch constantly puts me through, I could use a little No Man's Sky, tbh.

Kalyx triaD 04-04-2018 06:41 PM

Linear, Open-World Sandbox, and... "Make Your Own Fun" are three different categories for me. There's still objectives in many open-world games compared to NMS and SoT.

Fignuts 04-04-2018 07:24 PM

Oh for sure. I'm not comparing it to traditional open world games like GTA or Fallout.

More in common with Minecraft than anything.

If they're going to split the MMX collection up, they should really go to the trouble of adding the Xtreme games, and Command Mission.
