Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

As someone who last tried No Man's Sky out about 5 years ago, it looks like it's time to give it another shot.

Have they changed up the flight physics in that game at all since like 3-4 years ago? Combat always felt like it was on rails compared to like Elite or x4. I like that there was a lot of other stuff you can do but that really took me out of it.

When I tried it a few years back there was this really strange field of view and input lag that felt really clunky when moving around the world. Anyone knows if that's been fixed?

[–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They've fixed the fov (although maybe I used a mod) input latency was better than before but still not perfect.

[–] pycorax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Cool, maybe I'll give it a shot again sometime

Roomscale VR when?

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

My biggest comfort game that just keeps getting more comfy! Been holding out on VR experience for Valve's VR device but it seems like it'll be far off - might as well jump back in.

Okay but is the game fun yet? I hate all the procedurally generated bullshit. If you've seen one planet in this game, you've seen them all. NMS is somehow even more boring than Starfield. At least that game gives you something to do. A boring story is better than no story.

[–] ZMonster@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Look at these comments 🤣

Oh boy do people love hating NMS. I get it. But like it or not, there is literally no game out there doing what this game does for its players at absolutely no additional cost.

For those who aren't aware: The problem with this game has always been its fans. Not the players, but the fans.

"ThIs GaMe WaS aLl HyPe¡!” Then why did you hype it?

"iT wAsN't WoRtH tHe PrE-oRdEr!” Then why did you pre-order it?

"It'S nOt EvEn A gAmE" Murray literally said it wasn't a game, in 2015.

Not to mention it was a rag tag game dev studio who through that hype had their dream come true, did they’re best to deliver it, and have continued to work on it for over a decade now. People are human; and they’ve more than shown it wasn’t ever intended as a grift.

[–] ZMonster@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

No doubt! I didn't really get into it until after update 4 or 5. But now it is just amazing that they keep going.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So far all my attempts have culminated in a freeze followed by a crash after one to five minutes of play during the tutorial sequence. Let's see if that update changes things
