Anyway, this game. I go through phases where I'm getting a bit bored, and then it usually drops a nice planet on me, and I'm enthused again. I'm intrigued by the warp drive upgrade thing, and coloured stars having potentially more interesting planets, so I'm currently working towards a warp reactor tau, and then doing some free roaming instead of following the Atlas path.

I'm astonished that the PS4 1.04 update fails to fix the bloody obvious height/weight mix up info panel when scanning a life form! How could Hello Games not have noticed this... :(

 

I'd guess that they've been working 100% on fixing the PC issues and the PS4 patch is just whatever PC fixes were also relevant to PS4.   So it'll all be about graphics/rendering stuff.

Thats exactly what I want to do but give up on going for the centre. Can't for the life of me progress beyond my warp sigma. It's the only thing I'm looking for in the game :)

Had 2 crashes today, both on the pause screen which was different to the crashes I'd experienced before. 

 

Also, did I just have a strange run of planets or have they made them a little less populated with outposts and the like. I was flying around for ages without coming across much at all tonight. It made it really difficult to find crashed ships which were two-a-penny yesterday.

Another fun session tonight. Finally decided to head to my first Atlas Interface, which I thought was spectacularly sci-fi. Then I had a good scrap with some space pirates.

 

Then I spent a fair old while on a toxic planet. You know, as much as I love a grassy world, I have a soft spot for toxic ones. They're just so atmospheric, and this one had quite abundant wildlife:

 

 

And at night:

 

 

Anyway, another 4 hours gone in what felt like seconds.

Bought it today first impressions are pretty darn good, bought a new ship with my money I saved from my planet full of gold, about 8 hours in (been playing all day)  and I can't turn it off, just check one more waypoint, which leads me to another and another

You should have met Nala and Polo by now, no?

Heh, I think those guys are swindling us!  Try checking your distance remains before / after a black hole.. I'm not using their services again, that's for sure.

Yes I have met

Spoiler

Those two about six times. The last time? Last night Nada said that is the last time we meet on your journey to the centre. So all that distance to go without any more guidance to black holes!!!  Plus those two were giving some small sense of continuity to the journey.

Got involved in a big ship fight last night, was fun and with my new fully tooled up lasers it was winnable. Cost a load of titanium, but I've been fighting sentinels whenever I see them now so had plenty of that. Felt good protecting the freighter.

Well, I found my anomaly finally:

 

Spoiler

Got my atlas pass from frog engineer and accepted guidance to a black hole from Daft Punk's priest. 

 

The black hole was pretty, but I'm assuming the numbers are fucked? It said it had warped me 1200000 light years, which is quite a lot more than the 179000 to the center. It seemed to remove maybe 20000? Anyway, was exciting as shit.

 

The Atlas pass appears to give me suit slots and warp fuel, two things I was not short on.

 

I found another reactor upgrade and visited a green star. Couldn't see any difference in topography, minerals or life. It looked exactly like the previous two planets I was on.

 

Found a lovely planet full of lakes, but when I landed they were spewing radioactive gas :( 

 

I'm confused though, after 25 jumps and two alternate methods of transit, including jumps where I was moving seven or eight systems at a time with my new warp drive, I'm still 175000 from the center. 

 

That's like 900 jumps to the center right? How many warp drive upgrades are there? I have two.

 

Anyways:

The vague aimlessness that understandably people love about this game is the reason I'm starting to find it a chore. 

Minecraft and potentially Elite Dangerous are games that evolved or are evolving into something pretty spectacular but No Man's Sky feels a bit too repetitive. Travelling to the centre of the universe is a bit of a grind to say the least.

Landed on the first planet where someone else had been before me; couldn't name the planet, couldn't discover the animals. :(

 

If it didn't have Gek words to learn on it, I'd have left straight away, I don't like the idea of following in someone else's footsteps.

Haven't played ED in like six months, but in what way has it evolved beyond trading and upgrading, seeing the same old stations, same old ships etc. (Not being snarky, just want a reason to try it again. I can't bare the thought of those long-ass trips just to get to a point of interest or make a little cash.)
