isnt a game better if it lets you go beyond that simple "do that one thing and your finished" formula? i personally prefer games where u as a gamer create your own stories with your friends and maybe even some random people. the magic of journey was exactly that and when i play dayZ/rust it is exactly that.

I'm glad these devs aren't giving out too much information. Just like Kojima stealthily revealed Silent Hills. To me the internet is ruining a lot of the magic in video games. So much talk about Res and fps and then the media analyzes the hell out of the game, and it doesn't help when the comment sections are littered with negativity. All of this before you even get a chance to formulate your own opinion.

It was better in the 90's when all gamers did was read game magazines, look at the pictures, then talk about it amongst your friends. Or when a commercial would come on advertising the new Sonic, Mario, or Mega Man during saturday morning cartoons. Those were exciting times and you never really knew anything about the games until you actually played them or heard from a friend.

That's why I like what the devs are trying to do now. Try and keep it low profile until it's close to release, that way people can't spoil it. One thing I've learned from reading a lot of different comments is that some people will never be satisfied and always find something to pick at and complain about.

The biggest problem with these two games that have not come out yet is................they have not come out yet.

This game has got me so intrigued. I've read that they changed the 32 bit number they were using to generate planets to 64. They say that it would take 5 billion years to explore the universe completely, or to happen upon the same planet twice. The space age Christopher Columbus in me is chomping at the bit.

Not judging, but I've always said since its reveal that No Mans Sky is a tech demo, an impressive one but still a tech demo.
I want to be proven wrong but so far it seems that's all it actually is.

I've been worried about the same thing from both games. They haven't said a whole lot about what gameplay will be like from both.

I hope they play as good as they look!

The purpose of these games being is to give the gamer freedom to do whatever they want, the same purpose as Minecraft.

This is by far the shittiest article I have ever read on this site...and that says a lot.

thank you so much

So what’s the problem? Procedurally generated games have proven to work in titles like Don’t Starve, but my biggest worry about both these titles is that simple question that’s probably on most gamers’ minds, what is the point?

Some gamers actually use their own imagination to create their own experience . Minecraft, DayZ, The Forest etc come to mind , games dont need a specific end goal.
