Yeah the no man's sky problem was prevalent The difference between starbound and no man's sky is that hello games made sure to live up to their promises after failing to do so and STILL support the game Starbound is all but abandoned and neglected by the developers Also the mods just aren't it, like fracken universe one of the most appealing mods is made up of a bunch of stolen code and mods. Terraria has some insane mods like Spirit Mod, Thorium Mod, Fargo's souls mod, and the tried and true Calamity Mod

Lol, I played Starbound for 150 hours. Never knew it had a story. But it was really fun. Never tried Terraria Tough.

frackin universe is the answer?

playing through starbound rn for a first since 2019. Its still a solid game for anyone debating, it just feels like it was baked well and left out to cool, but then left out for days and it got stale before you started eating it

It just released on xbox

I've tried getting into starbound for a while now but the progress is just to slow, 2 hours in and my character feels just as bad as in the begining. I see the same creatures in almost every planet... I installed frankins universe to add more variety into the game but getting off the fist planet now takes 10x more effort and reaserching and it just felt like a full time job at that point. Going back to Terraria

Well: -Lead developer scammed young programmers and artists to make assets without properly paying them -A revolving door of workers leaving and joining was created so no one actually knew what is the standard for doing things, or what's the over arching end goel of development -Sooooo many scrapped mechanics from alpha and beta -Reworked all bosses into missions wich restrict the way to fight them (always the same arena, no cheese, no farming, no custom challanges) -Removed the old lore wich was unfinished but had huge potential (each race had a different story reason to travel the cosmos) -Added new lore wich is just your typical boring "YoU ArE ThE ChOsEn OnE" nonsense -Procedurally generated monsters removed and replaced by the same exact list of mobs ON EVERY FUCKIN PLANET -Envivormental hazards now HARD LOCK YOU out of planets instead of letting you take a "quick look" while taking damage -Reworked planets into a very strict tier system where EVERY fuckin' planet of the same category is EXACTLY THE SAME -And a shit ton of removed dungeons making dungeon vareity very repetitive. -Never fixed the janky movement yet relies heavily on platforming for most dungeons -There are no hazards or events, or invasions on planets (exept for the meteor shover on moons) there is absolutely no point staying on any particular planet after you mined the next tier of materials. -Quests pay you shit and just make you pick up a singular item from fuck knows where most of the time. -Player built colonies are absolutely pointless and limited, they gift you junk items, they sell you junk items an they are mediocre in combat. -Also you are straight up just not allowed to have a base on moons because of said meteors. -NONE of the systems are tied together, you spend most of your progression by mining underground where biomes are basicly the same on every planet and on pre built missions where you fight the same 6 boring bosses on pre built arenas, there is ZERO reason for you to explore despite the game having millions of planets

I really enjoyed this game. I had no idea about all of this drama going on in the background.

what they have lost?trippin guy...

Starbound is a wonderful multiplayer adventure. Playing by yourself though... it's okay.

Was surprised, I came from your steam page and expected Dev logs or game trailers. Any plans to make videos like that?

I never really felt like it "lost" it was always seen as a "terraria-like" not a competitor. I think they just ran into the issue that most space games run into, especially survival based ones. Players want to explore more, they want to feel like theyve uncovered secrets and had a genuine experience with a game, space games hardly ever give you a reason to develop a single world. Where in terraria youre forced to work with what you get and learn the mechanics and you get to see your world develop over time. In starbound you might build a nice house or discover a cool landmark, but ultimately youre going to leave that place behind, instead of encouraging dedication, it encourages indecisiveness, because no matter what you do "there must be something better out there." Then when their world generation wasnt on point, or the player started to notice too many similarites between planets, well then they became dissatisfied.

i personaly do not like game where u have to summon boses & have a too slow progress like teraria is just not my thing '-') and i love game who guide me to my goals i often find myself stuck on teraria because how slow it is

everytime people claim "Y is the next X killer" we end up something like this lol

Personally, even though Terraria is by far the better experience on its own, I love Starbound for the modding community. Terraria's modding feels a bit limited, while Starbound's feels closer to how players mod a Bethesda game. Far more customization. It's a fantastic modding platform more than a game on its own.

you forgot to mention Frackin Universe when you mentioned mods. it is a huge mod

you can visit a 1000 worlds and loot a 1000 weapons in starbound but it still feels like less "fun" content then terraria and just more tedium. imo ofc but with over 300h in the game i think i have the experience to judge

What I find funny is that there's a more recent indie game that suffered almost exactly the same fate: Black Skylands. Game was extremely promising in early access, and was kneecapped by the addition of a basic, unwanted story that places you in a role you otherwise never would have asked for. The protagonist is as dull as a cardboard cutout and not many of the story beats actually hit in any meaningful way because it's all cookie cutter slop. They apparently also stripped away a lot of things in the final release, like ship customization. I couldn't say what deserved to be axed and what didn't since I never played the early access version but most people despise the devs for doing it.

CBT will never mean Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to me, I'm sorry

Idk man I’ve been playing Valorant every day for a year now and I still haven’t become addicted

While most of this is true, i can't help but notice that more than half of the symptoms cited are the same for any addiction What you're going to tell me that the crackhead down the street or the alcoholic parents gambling their child's college tuition away don't : -Feel alone -Have a lack of self control -Have a low self esteem -Have a low emotional intelligence (tbf that one is debatable, depending on the addiction) -Have depression or over agressive tendencies -Fear other's people judgment (since it's mostly shameful stuff that people will judge you for when getting addicted to) -Suffer physical consequences from withdrawal I'm also pretty sure that the increase in violent tendencies might be due to the disassociation of RL and video games depending of how young you started playing. Might also be due to the involvement the media require you to have in order to enjoy it, but that's more specific to that media being included in situation : Tell a diehard football fan their fav team sucks and a Souls fan that DS1 kinda sucks balls to play in retrospect, and you'll have the exact same result :,D While the lack of physical effort required to play videogames is one of the symptoms that you could say it's indeed the media's fault, nearly all other symptoms are due to the addiction itself, not the media. You're gonna feel the quasi same thing if you stop playing and start gambling, then stop gambling and start doping, then stop doping and start forever bingeing. Just like everything in life, it's all about balance. A hard as shit balance to find, mind you, haven't found it myself but still, a balance nonetheless.

really good video. But did you consider im probably gonna get a legendary skin on my next brawlstars lootbox?

99% of gamblers stop right before theyre about to win big. Keep buying those lootboxes, never let em stop you!

Starbound was the first game to teach me about Early Access scams and to be wary of them. The lack of motivation killed SB as it painfully crawled through EA year by year with barely any significant changes. All while modders managed to fix and add tons of features into the game that were in fact promised after like 3 months in EA. They are scammy assholes and the fact they ran to become a publisher only makes it worse.

If I really can't stop I maybe shouldn't start D:

I just don't understand why they removed about 50% of working content. I all looks like they did it to force you focus on mediocre story aka space Jesus simulator after what you will throw this game to archives. I still repayable, but LESS fun, than it used to be in 2013-2014. I downloaded beta in 2023 and still don't want to return in current version, unless it moded and mods are the only reason why this demi corpse still live on.

Next up (I think) ✨Tinkerlands✨

How Hotline Miami, Meat Boy and Limbo forgotten, lol

its a feature freeze guys the Xbox update is riiight around the corner and there will be a new update guys trust me

Teraria still never grabbed me meanwhile even with the issue starbound got 100s of hours out of me

I'm surprised that in the "no man's sky section" you didn't cover ultima ratio regum - you should look into it if you haven't already. It's one of the most interesting cases of layered procedural generation to create entire cultures, religions and histories.

the multiplayer mod makes this game even more fun!

Worth mentioning that one of the other inspirations for Balatro came from LocalThunk watching NL play games, only for NL to end up playing his game

Great video! I still haven't had the chance to play Balatro, but I'm looking forward to it in the future!

Watching the gameplay it's so painful to see high rank cards be played and not scoring because they don't contribute to the played hand.

"A good game just has to be good and word of mouth will do the rest" I'm not entirely sold that it's this simple. Balatro isn't ONLY a good game. It's also an extremely unique one. And with that comes many questions - how unique your game has to be? How marketable does your game's premise has to be? Could a creative platformer also get that popular from word of mouth? Or would it have to be just as out of left field as something like Balatro?

I actually have no idea what ths game is so this is gonna be interesting.

Ngl with that beat and your tempo in the intro I thought you were gonna sing the whole video.

Starbound had a really great soundtrack and a great artstyle, I love the idea of making home on other planets, and exploring. A shame they stopped support, starbound could have been amazing, it's story is alright for what it is too. I'm gonna have to give starbound a reply I think 😊 At least we have steam workshop support though and there are some wacky mods too.

true

Playing it right now and enjoying the heck out of it

Next time do NOT forget to talk about Frackin Universe! It was what revived the game in my eyes because instead of the 125 hours I had I now have 10 times that much. 10 TIMES! Starbound was boring after a while. Frackin universe gave me a builder that was unprecedented. Way better than Terraria and that's my absolute favorite game (20 times even starbound's amount of hours (yes really)). Not to mention it gives acces to free ship building, not set upgrades like the main game, actually able to destroy and place walls and make the ship truly yours, planets that never had accessibility (gas giants mostly) new ores, machines for automation, class settings, new storyline additions and a way better albeit slower progression system! Frackinm Universe is like a new game, it's starbound reenvisioned. And it's still actively being worked on. Though, because it's considered what I've read to be "feature-complete" it doesn't get massive updates like terraria's base game does. But it does still get updates and it gets them often! So main take away, do another video with Frackin in mind! Because thios one completely glossed over it and I know that was not the point anyway but still I want to see where you stand onm starbound as a whole with this specific mod in mind! And if you don't know it, seriously consider playing. It's a whole new experience and it will change how you see starbound. If not that, I plan on restarting my streams very soon. Watch along at Capt_silva on twitch! Or don't do not feel like you have to and don't feel like this is promotion I hate that shizz myself. But I do have to let you know where to find me if I want you to learn about starbound. Hell, when you're done with that, if you feel like leaving, by all means feel free to. God I hate to have to say this but that's what hap[pens when you stream I guess.... Anyway, I hope to see a new video on starbound sometime in the future from you with this in mind. I really do. I also didn't like starbound before I found this mod, this mod is something special man!

your editing skills not good contact with me for imporove your video editing

“Forgotten Indie game” as he shows some of the most iconic Indie games of all time

There was a time before Terraria's 1.3 update, I was in a choosing point between Starbound and Terraria cause of the similarities and I can only dedicate to one. I'm glad that I chosed the right one

This game is the definition of wasted potential. So much interesting content with room to expand was removed before 1.0. It pains me more knowing that a lot of the game was built on unpaid, exploited work. Pretty much the only thing keeping this game alive is the modding scene.

Do mods actually make this game fun, or is it just cope? I tried modding it a few years back and found most of it to just feel like addons to a boring game, rather than being mechanically impacting. A lot of cosmetic features.
