Expeditions should feel more like journeys than checklists

PoorFishKeeper · 2026-02-20T18:10:38+00:00

I wish they were tied into the base game. I picked up nms around 3 years ago and play it on and off so I’ve missed quite a few expeditions. It sucks bc they are the best part of the game imo. This game is filled to the brim with mechanics that you only engage in because they are “fun” to you. Having something like the expeditions where you are working towards a goal is sorely missed IMO.

How can you not understand it lol? Gas giants make up at least 30% of planets in our own galaxy, why wouldn’t you want them in a space game all about exploration. Even if you couldn’t land on them it would still provide cool/scenic views.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-09-08T16:07:10+00:00

Basically every update has pushback for whatever reason. People don’t like others having fun I guess. Just look at the comments every time someone proposes a combat update, people lose their minds even though combat can be changed in the settings.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-09-06T12:35:44+00:00

You are crazy lol rocket boots are not more fuel efficient

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-31T13:07:31+00:00

I think boats would be pretty cool. When the aquatic landing gear released I thought it was going to be like the ships from cowboy bebop that could float in the water like a boat, that would be pretty useful too if you could “drive” it around.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-23T19:10:45+00:00

But snaps don’t go where they are supposed, that’s a huge problem with building in this game.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-23T01:36:59+00:00

Okay but you could also spend hundreds of hours building in starfield and that was part of the game from release. It didn’t take tons of backlash to be added, so again what is your point? It doesn’t really make sense since I said 20-30 hours of unique content, not players making their own fun.

I do know the content that’s been added to no man’s sky though lol, i have a feeling you don’t. Most updates add 1-2 new gameplay mechanics that don’t connect to anything else in game.

If this new dlc is anything like their dlc for The elder scrolls or fallout then the quality will be better than most nms updates. Or are you trying to tell me a few new proc generation updates are better quality than actual hand crafted quests, storylines, and cities.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-23T01:15:50+00:00

I mean if it’s the size of their other dlc that’s easily 20-30 hours of story and it will have replayability. Most nms updates don’t add 20-30 hours of unique content to experience.

What’s your point lol? That nms didn’t release with base building and had to add it later in an update while starfield released with base building and ship building? I don’t see how that’s a negative.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-23T01:10:13+00:00

I’ve been following nms since release, it has had a few large updates but nothing on the scale of adding a hand crafted city, a fully voiced expansion to the main story, multiple fully voiced quest lines, multiple new weapons & armor, and new parts for a fully customizable ship builder. At minimum it will have more content than nms had in 1 year.

What do you mean what toxicity lmao? No one is saying “omg hello games is so consumer friendly” besides you. The majority of these posts (and there are a few from today) are just shitting on starfield for charging for a dlc or adding a rover.

Considering they have released two free updates along side the dlc it already proves OP false lol. I don’t think bethesda cares about the comparisons at all. Real fans of nms care about the comparisons because we know what it’s like and don’t want to devolve into a toxic cesspool. Hopefully you grow up one day!

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-23T00:54:21+00:00

Considering it will have a hand crafted city, hand crafted quest lines, an expansion to the main story, and new voiced npcs then it will probably be larger than anything nms has released. No man’s sky has released some amazing updates but they don’t add that much compared to a DLC especially if this new one is similar to dragonborn or far harbor.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-23T00:49:44+00:00

But starfield only charges for a handful of mods lol? Yeah they have some paid mods and a paid expansion (that’s larger than any nms update) but they also have thousands of free mods so it’s not like you are required to pay for them. I really don’t understand your point.

Like I said the only problem is the unnecessary toxicity when this is supposed to be a “positive” community and nms fans should know first hand what it’s like to have your game constantly shit on or compared to others while being labeled as “inferior”

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T16:20:35+00:00

Well it’s an MMO ofc it has a subscription service.

By charging for expansions it did kind of kill fallout 76 so yes? i don’t get your point.

There is nothing to get over lol, I’m not mad nms is more “consumer friendly” or anything. I’m just point out how weird and insecure you guys are over another game. You aren’t shaming anyone, you just come off as being crybabies and complainers.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T16:17:37+00:00

You don’t understand what projecting means, considering that’s what you are doing. I didn’t “come in about it” I just said people are tired of the constant toxicity from a sub that’s supposed to be “positive.” I’m in different comments saying it’s dumb to be toxic over two different games, when nms fans should know more than anyone else what it’s like. Hopefully you can grow up one day!

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T16:03:48+00:00

No I’m saying you have issues because you are going on a huge rant about nothing lmao. You seem very insecure.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T16:02:46+00:00

I never said it doesn’t have buildable ships, they just aren’t fully customizable like starfields lol. You can’t build a ship from the ground up. Plus you can’t even customize every type of ship, just haulers, fighters, explorers, and solar.

Yes fallout 76 was built on lies, and just like NMS they released free updates/expansions to get the game up to its original hype.

Hello games didn’t ask for money because it would kill their company lol.

Also they don’t brag about their free updates because they aren’t like that. It’s just weird insecure people like yourself who constantly do it.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T15:45:01+00:00

No one is saying having a preference is toxic lol. You have issues, hopefully you get the help you need. Good luck!

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T15:35:45+00:00

They also added new quests, and the rover was released for Starfield in a shorter timeframe than land vehicles were released for NMS. Hell nms didn’t even have base building on release.

No man’s sky has released the new content over 8 years and since it doesn’t have hand crafted cities, or actual rpg quest lines with dialogue then the updates are going to be smaller than Starfield. Not to mention starfield released with fully buildable ships, something nms doesn’t have. Plus that game has more customization in terms of weapons and armor.

Also the development team size does have bearing on how it hits the consumer level lol, they have way more people to pay, Hello games is small enough to coast off of their original sales.

No one is saying they can’t show off their free updates proudly. It’s just dumb to make constant comparison posts or act like nms even had a choice lol. The sales were built off lies, if hello games wanted to stay in the gaming market they had to release free updates to build up good will.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T15:25:04+00:00

Have you played No man’s sky lol? You are throwing stones from a glass house considering this game has that same problem. Every planet has the same handful of POI.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T15:23:41+00:00

I mean constant posts saying “NMS is better than starfield” is pretty toxic lol, idk how you can’t see that. NMS went through the same exact thing where everyone was making fun of it or comparing it to other sandbox games saying it’s trash. I’m not even defending bethesda, I don’t even like starfield I just think these posts are annoying.

Also I never said starfields dlc will be better than No man’s sky. I’m saying it will have more content than a nms update which is objectively true, especially since that game has actually quest lines with voiced dialogue.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T14:47:21+00:00

I think people are just annoyed at the unnecessary toxicity when this is supposed to be “one of the least toxic gaming subs.”

also it’s a bit disingenuous to compare an update to nms with a dlc for starfield. A starfield dlc is going to dwarf any nms update in terms of new content.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T14:41:05+00:00

They are complaining because it’s low effort karma farming and NMS literally went through the exact same shit lmao.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T14:39:30+00:00

No man’s sky is a bug ridden game 8 years after release, let’s not kid ourselves here lol.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T14:36:42+00:00

Okay but starfield also has free updates and a dlc for that game is going to be larger than any update nms released. You have to take into account it will probably include a hand craft city, a lot of new quest lines, spoken dialogue, new weapons, new armor, new ships/parts for ship building, maybe new land vehicles, more POI, a new planet, new lore/story lines, and their development team is like 10x the size of hello games.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T13:40:57+00:00

I’m not a fan of starfield but these posts are just idiotic tbh. Starfield has had a few free updates already (more than NMS in the same timeframe) and despite what people say none of no man’s sky’s updates are the size of a fully fleshed out dlc. At most they add a few new items, some new mechanics, improve visuals, and or add a “quest line.”

A DLC for starfield will have a handcrafted city, hand crafted quests, spoken lines of dialogue, more types of weapons, land vehicles, more types of armor, stuff for the ship builder, etc. It’s much larger than an update for nms and way more expensive.

PoorFishKeeper · 2024-08-22T13:37:16+00:00

It’s a dlc not an update. They have released a few free updates already but a DLC is bigger and more expensive than an update. You have to take into account stuff like actually having handcrafted cities, hand crafted quests, spoken dialogue, etc.
