No Man's Sky

Minecraft started the whole Endless Updates thing I believe. Big publishers have often tried to emulate it with Endless Day One Patches.

“This is the eighteenth Day One Patch this year!”
“And Battlefield X is very nearly ready for come out of early access.”

Is this any good on Switch?

I thought that looked pretty cool. I've been playing this recently and stuff appears to have clicked - finally got my first freighter! - though found myself getting irritated at inventory space and disappearing buildings on planets. I don't know how they're doing it, but the way Hello Games have supported this for 8 years without microtransactions is refreshing.

But is it any good on Switch?

Is this good yet?

It also seems the update screwed with seeds, so now all the stuff from the coordinate exchange reddit is useless.

Is it just me or is survival mode suddenly nigh on impossible? It seems very easy to effectively soft lock the game due to planetary conditions and the aggressive life support drain. I started on a planet with extreme cold, my thermal protection got damaged on the first death and subsequently every respawn I had about 10 seconds before I was killed again, which isn’t enough time to get to shelter, let alone collect enough to repair and recharge. Don’t recall it being this brutal before, but it’s been a while.

Haven’t even got that far yet. Which means restarting is fine and it’s probably just a bad roll, but still seems way beyond my previous experiences with survival. This wasn't even during a storm or anything, just the natural climate of the planet I started on. I respawned with low health, zero environmental protection (and a broken module), and an empty inventory.

Yet another reason to get back in to the cockpit. Good stuff.

Summer seems to finally making an appearance though.

I keep re-installing this and loading it up and starting again and getting frustrated twatting about mining for Uberwankium but I don’t have the right space wotsit but I can’t get the right wotsit because I need to pluck 30 Floobs but I can’t find them because I don’t have a scanner but I can’t scan because it’s Tuesday, or something. Oh, and it’s raining acid.

I preordered it, it should be my ultimate game, Elite all over again, but I find it just frustrating and tedious ((

I wish I never rinsed this when it first came out. Despite all the changes I can't bring myself to play it again.

Had been a while since I last fired it up and decided to flit between a load of my bases to see if anything had changed very much with their biomes and didn't really find much different, other than the water being a lot better.

Until I went to the toxic planet I found in another galaxy that had huge mountains on it that I spent a lot of time building a really stupid "space elevator" mostly to finally get the trophy for spending time on hell worlds to get the platinum. This planet is very, very different now, my base and the elevator was fine (I can still jetpack into space from the top, briefly as you really don't last long if you do) but now there's a very weird veiny rock everywhere and the mountains have gone absolutely nuts with gigantic drops that weren't there before. I shall return to investigate more because it is definitely different, there's a really rather horrible tumour like ferrite/oxygen rock dotted about the place that certainly never existed before too.
