Still no main story mode?
I still have No Man's Sky installed on my PS5, and it's great to see Hello Games took the millions the game earned to offer free DLC for almost 8+ years now as their full time job. But it's still missing a main story line when you reach the menu screen. I want to be able to click on "Campaign Story" or something similar, "Story", and get a full-fledged story for the game to give it more life. I would like a Star Wars kind of story or something, with Stormtroopers to battle against, tie fighters, etc. Something! In the main game, you randomly face off against sentinel robots once in awhile and try to reach the center of the galaxy while learning some odd clues (last time I checked, having the game since 2016's launch on PS4).
What happens now, is I land on a very, very generic looking planet and then have no ambition to mine for materials, which is really the main theme of this game to build and keep your ship running IMO. And where you land looks pretty much like the entire rest of the planet. No ecosystem variation per planet really like desert, forest, icelands, tropical all on the same planet, like Earth. Mostly just similar land and water with one theme per planet.
Creative Mode still broken:
Creative mode still has the never-acknowledged glitch/issue to where your warp drive is disabled, along with your jet pack capacity without any clear acknowledgement by the game itself or the developer for many years now. I don't understand why they weakened the player for creative mode, never able to get your jetpack to achieve the extended flying that is possible in normal mode (last time I checked anyway). MY ship's warp drive can only jump short distances, despite having the full range icons in my ship set up.
Now Starfield from Fallout 3's creator's is hitting PC and XB September 6, 2023 finally, and hopefully will have much more interesting planets to visit and explore. But time will tell.
EIther way, No Man's Sky definitely carved a new path with its endless galaxy that no one person could ever visit all of in one life time, despite most of it being very generic and generated by the computer.
