Realistically: Probably the latter. Looks like 1.3 really added some meat to the bones, though, by all accounts so far.
My sister bit on it. She's the guinea pig. We'll see what's what this weekend.
To be fair: These guys have busted their ass trying to make things right here and I think they've earned some good will here for people interested if they understand what they are getting. They very easily could have shut the shop down after the nightmare and they didn't.
Agreed totally and enjoy the experience. You're in for a mind blowing time... the scale... man. The god damn scale of this game made me giddy for the future of gaming.
To answer your question about if it's good enough and issues addressed - it was already a new game with the first major update, vastly smoother, better looking etc etc... base building added to it and made it more fun for average joe, controls and settings were fixed etc. Most major things needing an immediate address were sorted. If you enjoy exploring though, you will love this guaranteed.
Remember, there is no manual. And in the early days we were struggling to figure some things out..
With the first update, it was a tiny bit slower when it was 'fast' and didn't lag out when flying above planets in some viewing angles, like the first version of NMS did, so overall a vastly smoother and better experience, the fluctuations were less basically. So to hear some performance changes might indicate further graphics work. Anyone got some screeny comparisons of their current planet before/after?
It's breathtaking and yet reasonably simple, because the game follows natural formulae and rules in many cases. Seems [H] crunches the screeny but enjoy. 290X does fine on 1440p so it's not a heavy game.
Whelp.. that NMS can go fuck itself.. fuck itself right in it's adorably addictive exhaust port hole. Ugh. Once I got up and flying around, stabilized what I needed vs my hoarding tendencies then it was just me loping around discovering shit, looking at things, shooting rocks, and occasionally flying to a space station. Papa needs credits to get a bigger ship to hold more loot before he decides to engage that hyper drive!
Stabilising your hoarding is a great way to start out, you'll do well
It's one of the main reasons I want to get rig back up to steam asap. Enjoy the addiction.
