Compare and contrast No Man's Sky with Elite: Dangerous. Elite has a lot more defined and fleshed out "roles" to play that have tradeoffs, but they aren't working against each other. The author indicates that this very thing is lacking in No Man's Sky.
- ivraatiems 9y agoYeah - the author said "no other game is offering this!", and my first thought was "but Elite: Dangerous offers large swaths of this stuff and has for some time." Granted, it doesn't do everything No Man's Sky does, and it has its own gameplay issues (mainly a lack of depth to the universe resulting in boredom). But No Man's Sky doesn't exist in a vaccuum. There are lots of other games at least trying to do what it does, and in some cases, succeeding. Star Citizen, if it is not vaporware, may become another good example.
