I once walked 12 hours from one side of the planet to the other to see if it was possible. My destination was a random building that I found a map to. The planet I decided to walk around was SUPER mountainous and cold. I used so many ion charges to refuel my hazard protection and probably climbed over 100 mountains. It was a long journey and very rewarding! Congrats on making a 25 hour journey, I'm impressed at your dedication!
Igual, una vez estaba buscando recursos en un planeta montañoso extremadamente tóxico, cuando conseguí todo, me había alejado 2 horas de mi nave, pensé en llamarla, pero quise caminar, correr, usar mi mascota voladora, saltar, el planeta era tormentoso, por lo que unos tornados me sacaron volando y me alejaban, fue muy divertido.

tbh this video really highlights the need for the game to start adding variance to planets. Doesn't make any sort of sense that planets are the same across every hemisphere of the globe.
It's a shame. I was so pumped about starfield but I ended up finding it so underwhelming. Kinda soulless. It would've been way better if they had made 100 or less planets, but carefully handmade and seamlessly connected. Outer Wilds really masters that in my opinion: super small solar system, filled to the brim with lore, beautiful and creepy places, a looming sense of dread, but also a feeling of calmness. Space isn't supposed to be as generic as starfield made it feel
@@jorgecuevas8843 Starfield would've been better with just a handful of planets. 3 or 4 max, all seamlessly connected with bigger surfaces and more stuff to do on them, and stuff to do in space too. Starfields planets are empty with literally nothing to do on them. No man's sky is similar in that regard, but it's also a survival game, so it's more understandable. RPGs need to be filled with stuff to do since they lack sandbox elements. Imagine if starfield took place in 1 solar system. Had like asteroid mining facilities and spaceports in space. A major city on every planet with outposts and caves and different races aside from just humans. It'd be so much more interesting, but starfield literally has no identity. It's a fallout game with a space backdrop.
They could do it they just dont want too. Their consumers are fine with the crap they push out so why bother putting extra effort in when they will still make money
Just remember that if u seen 2 square meters of a planet,u seen the entire planet...there is 0biome differences on planets so if u land on a grey rock,it will be a grey rock in its entirety
@@Jeremy-ff7gvNot entirely true. Yes a planet is mostly the same. But the North and South parts of a planet might differ quite a lot. It's a chance that at one pole there's mainly flatlands and at the other is mountains or hills. The biome is identical, sadly. But before the Origins update the terrain used to be quite wild.

So much stuff you can do in No Man’s Sky and you did what No Man has done before. My respects to you. Edit: Yes I am aware people have done this before, I was making a NMS pun LMAO. Can we just get an official Hello Games historical record of people who decided to walk around entire planets?

That, WAs, Hilarious I have over 3500 hours in No Man Sky and I have never walked around a Planet and I am glad that you have done it for me in such an entertaining and condensed fashion. I will celebrate your accomplishment with a Fig Newton
I do wish there was a little more variety once you land on the planet. Like it shouldn't be the same species in the entire area of planet. Maybe certain areas have a lot of trees, maybe there's a big ocean in the middle. I feel like the only time there's ever water is if it's a little pond or lake or if the entire planet is basically a water world with a few islands.
@@LTNetjak there is a nms sky mod that does expand and change the planet generation tech so its more varied and you have to travel father to see everything, called Better Planet Generation. I'm quite sure the reason starfield actually has to work in tiles is because of engine limitations more than computational power, I doubt starfield is in any way pushing boundaries of processing considering the engine is like over 12 years old? most likely optimization issue
There is more diversity than you think. Different parts of the planet can have different terrain. You might have lots of mountains in one area, a huge ocean in another area, valleys or plains in another, lots of cave systems in another, etc. There are also animals which are restricted to only certain parts of the planet. If you try to find all species of animals on a planet, you can look up a brief description of the ones you're missing, and sometimes it will say something like "only appears in the north" or "only appears in caves" (not to mention the underwater species). I get what you're saying - it would be nice to have more than two weather settings per planet, and a wider variety of biomes on each one. But the latter would interfere with this game's system of having players go to different planets/systems to get different resources that spawn in the various biomes. If you could find them all on one planet, there would be less need to travel, explore, or upgrade your ship to allow access to the harsher systems which offer rarer resources. In other words, having more biomes per planet wouldn't really fit in this game. It would definitely add to the visual flair, though.
Kinda puts into perspective how much larger the Earth is compared to alot of planets in nms since it'd reportedly take 345 days of non stop walking to walk around the circumference of the earth. Nice video.
Earth is about 21,500 times bigger than a large planet in no man’s sky. The smallest moon in our system is Mimas which orbits Saturn. Mimas is about 21 times larger than the large planets in NMS.
Not only does it make me happy that you're able to do this... But I also love that if you timelaps it, you can see the clouds moving and changing, growing and shrinking... And that's BEFORE the new update that just made clouds better.

This shows one of the major problems with procedurally generated planets. The entire planet is a single biome. Maybe one day they'll figure out how to make planets more interesting and variable. Great video nonetheless.
It would certainly be nice to see a little more variety within each planet. I'd fully support the occasional trampoline biome so long as my knees could handle it.
Was thinking that as well- would be awesome to have planets with cold north and souths with variable biomes and climates. Also: oceans made of different substances, tidals waves, and High Gravity planets...! Maybe one day in NMS2 lol
As a science smartass I always gave No Mans Sky shit, because the planets are so small. But thats honestly indeed big enough for any relevant gameplay 😅
@@DirtTheGamerI hope your UA-cam career crumbles after this How do you even consider yourself a decent human being right after being 15 minutes late on a video
Yeah I mean I don't really have anything bad to say about this particular video but what is it with UA-cam content simps that comment things like "your content creating skills are unmatched". Like you're the first gaming UA-camr to create mundane but entertaining videos. Like I've seen other content simps act like they're witnessing something miraculous and then proceed to write the most cringe, over the top, homoerotic stuff. Content simps are a real thing.
I've done two walk-arounds, but I allowed sprinting, critters, exocraft - pretty much anything except my ship. I think I would go insane if I limited myself to just walking, so bravo to you, sir. I got a little ticked when trying to place beacon# 6, too. Going across the ocean was the least exciting...to say the least. I used North to stay on track, and watch North turn to South and South turn to North.The coolest thing I witnessed was when cresting a high mountain top, and it looked like I was looking down on my freighter. My first world took about 8 days and my second world took about 5. I'm prepping to do this in Light No Fire. Thanks for doing this video - I've wondered if anyone else has ever done a planet walk-around.
Sorry to break it to you, but Light no fire is Earth sized. You may not think that is a lot, but it is - it takes an entire year to walk around Earth with not a single interruption. Even if you sprint or fly, it's gonna take years. And even if you could play 24/7, still several months or over a year. And if you do it in the same rate as you did with those NMS planets, it surely is gonna take several years. Just warning you in case you aren't willing to spend all that time
@@Flipflop223Well, I went through all 256 cores of nms' galaxies, and put a teleporter base in each one of them. Then, I went to extreme edges of four galaxies - where the stars end. What can I say... I'm patient. 😉
You know weirdly it almost feels like this challenge recaptures the feeling of playing the original launch version of No Mans Sky. Warping from star to star to get to the center of the universe and walking around a planet functionally pretty similar. Both of them being much funner on paper. Mad respect for pulling it off.
Luckily for me I too was way bored decided to watched another who was bored. It was like having an out of body experience living vicariously through you. The emotions I thought I may have were confirmed. Thank you very much! Now do one where you swim around a planet.
I just started playing and I'm still in awe at the sheer scale this game gives me. Its utter stunning.Also, this video is hilarious. Thank you for making me laugh, well done!
UA-cam just randomly suggested the video … I really enjoyed watching this … enjoyed and appreciated your humor 😂 And while I am more a Star Citizen player, I have to say that NMS is a unique experience and I applaud Hello Games for what they created! NOW, if you are up for another challenge of boredom (walking around a planet) … join me walking around planet Hurston in Star Citizen … given that it has more than 3088817 square miles of surface area, it should give you a really nice long time to be bored (especially since it is barren lands … just some scattered plant life) … come to think of it, I think I‘ll take a ground vehicle to drive instead 😂
I did the same journey in V1 back in 2016. The landscapes then were treacherous, and the whole game was much harder. It was a real achievement, and I loved it!
I am amazed that it really took 24 hours to walk around a planet in that game. That says a lot about the ability for it to create and save content no matter where you are in No Man Sky.
I've actually attempted this twice and succeeded once, but I used exocrafts and I knew about the beacon limitation because I read the infobox😜 and just leapfrogged them. I also didn't do it in one go. The first time was on a giant planet. I failed to finish before the Atlas Rises update and my base was destroyed. So I abandoned that attempt. The second was on a small toxic moon that took me about 10 hours to circumvent in my nomad.
I'd love to see whole planets get colonized by players alone at some point in the future. Not sure how possible that is with the game engine, but it is something to dream about.
I am impressed with your self control at not getting distracted by everything. And I Need to find me such a bubblelicious planet, because that was beautiful!
Dude, i saw a couple of your vids 3 weeks ago. And oh my, its put a smile on my face to click on this vid and hear your voice, i know im going to have a chuckle after a LONG day of work stuffs. Ill shut up now and enjoy watching, thank you!
You did it for us! I have always wanted to know if you Could go completely around a planet and end up where you started. You did it so I didn't have to. You sir, are a hero. A God damned hero!
Great job! I also walked around a planet in NMS. And I also walked around a planet in Space Engineers, that took me 50 hours. So I know what if feels like! 😁
6:58 this is what I said when I tried to build my own town but was told that the limit on the amount of build parts exists only after I've reached that limit
I started playing this game a week ago and I can’t believe that you did this. I walk a couple of minutes and return to my ship. This was epic my friend 🎉
My second system has a world identical to that! It has bubbles that are adoptable, bubbles that you can permanently dec a base with after harvesting one, harvestable oxygen, gold, silver, and copper deposits, and strange animals that walk around inside protective spherical units of some sort.
Seeing this in a game gives me hope I’ll do this same walk on a halo ring :) I had no idea how GIGANTIC this game is, I knew it was about the universe but holy damn !! An entire surface of a planet! I thought it would be more like the mass effect planet visits, you go there and there’s a pretty good space but there’s always a barrier
No there’s genuinely what it seems like infinite systems and planets, there’s loading screens when you leave a system to another system and when you teleport but other than that as long as you’re in the same system there’s no loading screens, each planet is completely round but most of the planet has very similar geography and topography so once you’ve seen some of it you’ve seen most of the planet. Still extremely fun tho, 60 hours in and I’ve barely found a suitable home planet
It is a universe, maybe not particularly interesting one when it comes to have varied the planets can be, but still it blows my mind what can be done by modern computer tech and procedural generation. Fun thing to think about, if we live in a simulation it is probably created in a similar way as this game because nobody in the universe I think would have enough computing power to render whole universe especially as complicated as ours constantly every second in one go, there's got to be some way more advanced but still procedural generation going on
You can do this on Starfield. You just can’t land on a planet yourself with a loading screen. I played today & walked endlessly for over 3 hours to see how far I could go. The terrain all looked different. Vast mountains & canyons
I got the idea to do this last night after I finished playing and was getting ready for bed. It was the first thing on my home page this morning, I don’t know what they put in that algorithm but 10/10
In Zineth, you can walk around the moon in mere milliseconds, this is an intended feature to escape the grasp of the moon's gravitational pull and get back to earth. (or fall into the void by not going back to earth)
I’m jogging around a moon right now. As in, literally jogging. I’m doing it in VR using Natural Locomotion to translate running on the spot into game movement. I’ve been doing it for several days now, saving and restarting as I go, and am probably about two thirds of the way around it now. The marker for my base where I started is now in front of me rather than behind me. It’s not as intensive exercise as running in real life, but I’m still burning through a goodly amount of calories all told.
I really like your videos i‘ve seen so far. Keep doing what you‘re doing. Getting the best videogamedunkey vibes here, but not in the sense of a clone, but as someone same as original as him doing funny stuff.
the double thumbs up gesture cracks me up so much and i don’t know why, it’s just a double thumbs up. i guess there’s just an amusing feel to the nms animations and i adore it.
Great video! You are honestly VERY funny. At the beginning of the video I asked myself (and my computer screen) why would anyone want to do this? Luckily, by the end of the video…. *you did not answer that question.* Let’s keep it that way. I thank you sir for keeping us on our toes. Next video idea: count how many asteroids are in asteroid field. That would be just astoundingly riveting.
im really glad you had done something like this the accomplishment you made. However I would suggest and im not joking I would suggest that you do this again BUT use what you have learned AND you do it on a more exotic or lush planet with more life structures and terrain variation and use it as a cataloging system for your understanding of what a single planet can offer as well as taking detours for structures and looking at terrain animals and plants while eventually making your way back to the main path.
As someone who did circumnavigate an NMS planet myself (on foot) I congratulate you... Apparently they've made planets much smaller since Pathfinder Update. My journey took more then 80 hours. And i let myself sprint, meele-jump, and was using a "booster" in form of deep water in the oceans, where you could transfer your falling speed into horizontal speed when diving form high above.
It's fun to see everyone saying "You can't do this in Starfield" or "Starfield players cryin" are only NMS players who never played a BGS game and repeats the Starfield shaming narrative like parrots :') While Starfield players are just... enjoying tf out of Starfield
I didn't enjoy it at all, i played better games than this Bethesda trash... By the way, Bethesda didn't fail for scope, they fail for the lack of it, theres far better games than this Bethesda trash No Man's Sky is just one of this games, you have Elite Dangerous, Star CItizen, X4, Spacebourne 2 (wich is an indie game made by one single dev), Empyrion Galactic Survival, Starship Evo, even freaking Mass Effect: Andromeda is better than Starfield, wich is the worst game of the whole Mass Effect franchise.
Thanks for doing that so I don't have to :) Brilliantly done. Whatever you do I strongly suggest you do not try swimming around a water planet! Dreams of the deep would quickly become an aquatic nightmare!
The level of commitment is incredible but also additional pain because those anomalous planets don't have lots of the varied buildings you get on normal planets so the boredom must have been even more intense 😭
it actually makes me happy tha tyou CAN walk arounda planet. its weirdly validating that these are in fact actual planets.

This shows one of the major problems with procedurally generated planets. The entire planet is a single biome. Maybe one day they'll figure out how to make planets more interesting and variable. Great video nonetheless.
It would certainly be nice to see a little more variety within each planet. I'd fully support the occasional trampoline biome so long as my knees could handle it.
To be fair he was on a desolate planet so there wasn't much for him to see other than bubbles
Was thinking that as well- would be awesome to have planets with cold north and souths with variable biomes and climates.
Also: oceans made of different substances, tidals waves, and High Gravity planets...!
Maybe one day in NMS2 lol
No Man’s Sky is better than Starfield. Confirmed.
No Mans Sky has turned out to be more than they promised. Playing Starfield made me come back to this, and I'm glad I did.
As a science smartass I always gave No Mans Sky shit, because the planets are so small.
But thats honestly indeed big enough for any relevant gameplay 😅
Simply perfection once again, Master Dirt. Your skills in content creating are unmatched
Thanks, but to be fair, if I hadn’t stopped for Taco Bell, I could’ve had this video done 15 minutes earlier.
@@DirtTheGamer a reward well worth the time loss, I would say
@@DirtTheGamerI hope your UA-cam career crumbles after this
How do you even consider yourself a decent human being right after being 15 minutes late on a video
Yeah I mean I don't really have anything bad to say about this particular video but what is it with UA-cam content simps that comment things like "your content creating skills are unmatched". Like you're the first gaming UA-camr to create mundane but entertaining videos. Like I've seen other content simps act like they're witnessing something miraculous and then proceed to write the most cringe, over the top, homoerotic stuff. Content simps are a real thing.
@@tyrannosaurusflex3698 ok
I've done two walk-arounds, but I allowed sprinting, critters, exocraft - pretty much anything except my ship. I think I would go insane if I limited myself to just walking, so bravo to you, sir. I got a little ticked when trying to place beacon# 6, too. Going across the ocean was the least exciting...to say the least. I used North to stay on track, and watch North turn to South and South turn to North.The coolest thing I witnessed was when cresting a high mountain top, and it looked like I was looking down on my freighter. My first world took about 8 days and my second world took about 5. I'm prepping to do this in Light No Fire. Thanks for doing this video - I've wondered if anyone else has ever done a planet walk-around.
impressive work
Sorry to break it to you, but Light no fire is Earth sized. You may not think that is a lot, but it is - it takes an entire year to walk around Earth with not a single interruption. Even if you sprint or fly, it's gonna take years. And even if you could play 24/7, still several months or over a year.
And if you do it in the same rate as you did with those NMS planets, it surely is gonna take several years. Just warning you in case you aren't willing to spend all that time
@@Flipflop223Well, I went through all 256 cores of nms' galaxies, and put a teleporter base in each one of them. Then, I went to extreme edges of four galaxies - where the stars end. What can I say... I'm patient. 😉
guy seems to be running at about 12kph. so this planet has a circumference of roughly 300km?
Math.
You know weirdly it almost feels like this challenge recaptures the feeling of playing the original launch version of No Mans Sky. Warping from star to star to get to the center of the universe and walking around a planet functionally pretty similar. Both of them being much funner on paper. Mad respect for pulling it off.
Luckily for me I too was way bored decided to watched another who was bored. It was like having an out of body experience living vicariously through you. The emotions I thought I may have were confirmed. Thank you very much!
Now do one where you swim around a planet.
I just started playing and I'm still in awe at the sheer scale this game gives me. Its utter stunning.Also, this video is hilarious. Thank you for making me laugh, well done!
UA-cam just randomly suggested the video …
I really enjoyed watching this … enjoyed and appreciated your humor 😂
And while I am more a Star Citizen player, I have to say that NMS is a unique experience and I applaud Hello Games for what they created!
NOW, if you are up for another challenge of boredom (walking around a planet) … join me walking around planet Hurston in Star Citizen … given that it has more than 3088817 square miles of surface area, it should give you a really nice long time to be bored (especially since it is barren lands … just some scattered plant life) … come to think of it, I think I‘ll take a ground vehicle to drive instead 😂
Yeah that sounds like a great way to drive yourself completely insane 😵💫
I did the same journey in V1 back in 2016. The landscapes then were treacherous, and the whole game was much harder. It was a real achievement, and I loved it!
Starfield players: 🤨🤨🤨
This game is older than starfeild
@@skitjack622 better than Starfield too
This 😂😂😂😂😂
Oof
@@skitjack622Which said a lot more about Bethesda and their game engine
I am amazed that it really took 24 hours to walk around a planet in that game. That says a lot about the ability for it to create and save content no matter where you are in No Man Sky.
Never seen a planet with bubbles before. That’s really cool
It's the land of perpetual carbonation
1:28 9 hours per day, that sounds great. That's 15 hours of sleep and I'm all about it
I've actually attempted this twice and succeeded once, but I used exocrafts and I knew about the beacon limitation because I read the infobox😜 and just leapfrogged them. I also didn't do it in one go.
The first time was on a giant planet. I failed to finish before the Atlas Rises update and my base was destroyed. So I abandoned that attempt.
The second was on a small toxic moon that took me about 10 hours to circumvent in my nomad.
That’s the way to do it
I'd love to see whole planets get colonized by players alone at some point in the future. Not sure how possible that is with the game engine, but it is something to dream about.
I am impressed with your self control at not getting distracted by everything. And I Need to find me such a bubblelicious planet, because that was beautiful!
A lot of the bubbles were trying to distract me with cheese and crackers but I somehow resisted.
Dude, i saw a couple of your vids 3 weeks ago. And oh my, its put a smile on my face to click on this vid and hear your voice, i know im going to have a chuckle after a LONG day of work stuffs. Ill shut up now and enjoy watching, thank you!
That is a tremendous accomplishment 😎
You did it for us! I have always wanted to know if you Could go completely around a planet and end up where you started.
You did it so I didn't have to. You sir, are a hero. A God damned hero!
I had to find out for sure
He's just training for their new game called "Light no Fire".
Great job! I also walked around a planet in NMS. And I also walked around a planet in Space Engineers, that took me 50 hours. So I know what if feels like! 😁
Legendary determination 🫡
It's not amazing that you circum-walked a planet.... It's amazing you managed to drag out an EIGHT MINUTE VIDEO ABOUT IT!
Unsarcastically, you have an incredible talent. Editing is top tier. Commentary is S+. Lol my cheeks hurt from smirking~
I hope your cheeks feel better soon
6:58 this is what I said when I tried to build my own town but was told that the limit on the amount of build parts exists only after I've reached that limit
I started playing this game a week ago and I can’t believe that you did this. I walk a couple of minutes and return to my ship. This was epic my friend 🎉
My second system has a world identical to that! It has bubbles that are adoptable, bubbles that you can permanently dec a base with after harvesting one, harvestable oxygen, gold, silver, and copper deposits, and strange animals that walk around inside protective spherical units of some sort.
Love dem bubbles
I came to find out how long it would take... I stayed for the humor and sarcasm... well done!!👏👏👏👏
same
One thing Starfield got right was finally motivating me to check out NMS. Space exploration done right where immersion is the main protagonist.
Seeing this in a game gives me hope I’ll do this same walk on a halo ring :)
I had no idea how GIGANTIC this game is, I knew it was about the universe but holy damn !! An entire surface of a planet!
I thought it would be more like the mass effect planet visits, you go there and there’s a pretty good space but there’s always a barrier
No there’s genuinely what it seems like infinite systems and planets, there’s loading screens when you leave a system to another system and when you teleport but other than that as long as you’re in the same system there’s no loading screens, each planet is completely round but most of the planet has very similar geography and topography so once you’ve seen some of it you’ve seen most of the planet. Still extremely fun tho, 60 hours in and I’ve barely found a suitable home planet
I’ve been watching no man’s sky videos for a couple days now, I’ll definitely be checking it out when I get an Xbox again!
throw some mods in and we have some really good experience@@daslothmc3910
You should see space engine. There's so many stars you can pick one, go to it, and never touch it again even if you tried
It is a universe, maybe not particularly interesting one when it comes to have varied the planets can be, but still it blows my mind what can be done by modern computer tech and procedural generation. Fun thing to think about, if we live in a simulation it is probably created in a similar way as this game because nobody in the universe I think would have enough computing power to render whole universe especially as complicated as ours constantly every second in one go, there's got to be some way more advanced but still procedural generation going on
The fact that there’s 18 quintillion planets in this game is mind blowing
And it took him this long just for one planet... No man sky is truly endless.
So glad I randomly stumbled across this channel a while back. I never would have known the high quality content I was missing
Quirky humour made this as entertaining as it could possibly be, thanks for that
Starfield is envious of this
You can do this on Starfield. You just can’t land on a planet yourself with a loading screen. I played today & walked endlessly for over 3 hours to see how far I could go. The terrain all looked different. Vast mountains & canyons
@@michaelweston409 one more hour until you find invisible wall
I got the idea to do this last night after I finished playing and was getting ready for bed. It was the first thing on my home page this morning, I don’t know what they put in that algorithm but 10/10
starfield players be kickin and screamin rn
as god, i can confirm you will be getting a free pass into heaven, after having already been through hell
😇
If you wanna do that in starfield you gonna need a mod on nexus mods that removes barriers
In Zineth, you can walk around the moon in mere milliseconds, this is an intended feature to escape the grasp of the moon's gravitational pull and get back to earth. (or fall into the void by not going back to earth)
I’m jogging around a moon right now. As in, literally jogging. I’m doing it in VR using Natural Locomotion to translate running on the spot into game movement. I’ve been doing it for several days now, saving and restarting as I go, and am probably about two thirds of the way around it now. The marker for my base where I started is now in front of me rather than behind me. It’s not as intensive exercise as running in real life, but I’m still burning through a goodly amount of calories all told.
Amazing
"THEY DONT KNOW ME SON"
The ending was amazing! Your reason for joining the ranks of others that have accomplished this was perfect, well done. 😄
I really like your videos i‘ve seen so far. Keep doing what you‘re doing. Getting the best videogamedunkey vibes here, but not in the sense of a clone, but as someone same as original as him doing funny stuff.
Humongous compliment, thank you 🙏
“And then I looked at my cat and realized I would lose a lot of self respect” lol. It always happens when you look a cat.
Thank you for doing this.
We've all wondered about it but could never be bothered to try it.
You deserve a statue or whatever 👍
I’ll take a semi-accurate butter carving
the double thumbs up gesture cracks me up so much and i don’t know why, it’s just a double thumbs up. i guess there’s just an amusing feel to the nms animations and i adore it.
Great video! You are honestly VERY funny. At the beginning of the video I asked myself (and my computer screen) why would anyone want to do this? Luckily, by the end of the video…. *you did not answer that question.* Let’s keep it that way. I thank you sir for keeping us on our toes.
Next video idea: count how many asteroids are in asteroid field. That would be just astoundingly riveting.
If there are more than seven, I might have a hard time counting
best, cutest, funnest video ever done on no man's sky. I saw it again and again for 25 hours!
It’s what the Sky of No Man’s deserves 💫
This is awesome! I’m looking forward to whatever else you come up with
【Shades Finnish Pirates】That was nice, you really did it and now you can say "Yatta!" in japanese translated to "I did it!"
I love your humor. It's on point everytime
Subbed. Great video! You have some stamina. That was a long walk!
im really glad you had done something like this the accomplishment you made. However I would suggest and im not joking I would suggest that you do this again BUT use what you have learned AND you do it on a more exotic or lush planet with more life structures and terrain variation and use it as a cataloging system for your understanding of what a single planet can offer as well as taking detours for structures and looking at terrain animals and plants while eventually making your way back to the main path.
Once I gain the necessary will power, I will seriously consider it 🫡
@@DirtTheGamer thanks dude it’s nice to see a suggestion of mine being so seriously considered
As someone who did circumnavigate an NMS planet myself (on foot) I congratulate you...
Apparently they've made planets much smaller since Pathfinder Update. My journey took more then 80 hours.
And i let myself sprint, meele-jump, and was using a "booster" in form of deep water in the oceans, where you could transfer your falling speed into horizontal speed when diving form high above.
That is a gargantuan task, I salute thee
LOVED the narration! Thank you!
What I love is that takes you actually an hours to fully fly from one plant to the next if you’re just cruising
Jokes aside, respect to you that u actually walked over an entire planet🫡
I do what I must to entertain the internets.
lmao the controls invert at the poles! Had that happen when I walked around a moon years ago. Was a real challenge to get back on track after that.
It's fun to see everyone saying "You can't do this in Starfield" or "Starfield players cryin" are only NMS players who never played a BGS game and repeats the Starfield shaming narrative like parrots :') While Starfield players are just... enjoying tf out of Starfield
Very different games indeed
starfield is trash and ive played 3k hours in oblivion 5k hours in skyrim and a lot of morrowind when i was little
I didn't enjoy it at all, i played better games than this Bethesda trash...
By the way, Bethesda didn't fail for scope, they fail for the lack of it, theres far better games than this Bethesda trash No Man's Sky is just one of this games, you have Elite Dangerous, Star CItizen, X4, Spacebourne 2 (wich is an indie game made by one single dev), Empyrion Galactic Survival, Starship Evo, even freaking Mass Effect: Andromeda is better than Starfield, wich is the worst game of the whole Mass Effect franchise.
"You don't need to put a very exact time after 1 hour, nobody will look at that 1 hour and think: yeah I'm walking"
Thanks for doing that so I don't have to :) Brilliantly done. Whatever you do I strongly suggest you do not try swimming around a water planet! Dreams of the deep would quickly become an aquatic nightmare!
Bro's so gamer-brained he looked at his cat when contemplating cheating and thought "I can't, this will affect my reputation stat"
this really puts into perspective how big our REAL planet actually is
You, are an absolute legend. Bro, you got another subscriber today my man XD this is beautiful and I laughed my ass off.
@@Rue-DH glad to hear that, welcome to the pig pen 🐖
As Todd hides in the corner and cries 😂😂
Awesome video man enjoyed the fun lively attitude you got my sub!
I could watch you videos for hours they are soo good
Just remember to take frequent breaks to stretch and drink some grape juice.
@@DirtTheGamer will do master Dirt
The level of commitment is incredible but also additional pain because those anomalous planets don't have lots of the varied buildings you get on normal planets so the boredom must have been even more intense 😭
