    Thanks everyone for your comments and input, this has been a spicy one for sure!
    I realized that playing 8 hours of No Man’s Sky might not have been enough for you dedicated fans of the game, so I want to make an announcement:
    I WILL STREAM NO MAN’S SKY here on my channel this week, starting tomorrow (Wednesday July 24th) around 11am CT as well as a few streams this weekend.
    I would love to see you all there and would appreciate some direction on where to access the best content in the game! Thanks again

    So… you didn’t do the questline with Artemis or put in any real effort… and you didn’t think to visit the space anomaly (which you can find within an hour or two of starting fresh) where all the weapons are… like the boltcaster (which I’m pretty sure comes stock on your multitool), neutron canon, plasma launcher, pulse spitter, blaze javelin, and scatter blaster… like there’s literally a research tree where you unlock these at a terminal in the space anomaly… you can literally see noobs all over the space anomaly with the starter ship and yet it seems you somehow miraculously haven’t encountered it yourself after “hours” of gameplay…
    Kinda sounds like you had your mind made up and just kinda half assed everything?

That’s why one should play NMS really I mean just look at what they achieve compared to SC Elite or Starfield only really EVE Online can match their lv of support for their game really.

    I would have no problem if you simply preferred Starfield over NMS. They are different in some pretty fundamental ways that I think a comparison is an apples to oranges (or Origins..lol) kind of thing. However, it is clear that you've barely scratched the surface of NMS and seem to have had your mind already made up before you even started this process. I've played both games and while Starfield is a solid game, it rings pretty generic. The constant load screens were a headache and really do pull you out of the experience. NMS surely has it's flaws and still could use a more thorough gameplay loop. However it just feels fresher than Starfield though it's almost 10 years older from a previous gen and I still have fun when I play it, even today.

    Starfield is a classic Bethesda game with a future "space" theme. It is not an exploration game but is fun rpg story and some ship battles.
    No Man's Sky is an artsy exploration, resource management, some rpg story, and creative community base building.
    Different styles and reasons to play.

    1) Write some short bulletpoints before starting to record. Just for yourself, to refresh them in you're memory once again. Even if you will forget some lines, at least you won`t panic.
    2) Don't do obviously biased comparisons, or you gonna be ratioed to hell
    3) Work on you're diction man, that`s really problematic. Try to read outloud books, and try to voice act lines.
    4) Cut out frames when you inhale. That's more like friendly advice, not a critique.
    5) You`ve got too much empty space on screen. Flag of you're country is important, but you can put in to the right, or even behind you. If you go with so much space, and put in so much shots, when you just talking, with no need to use that empty space, whole part seems unnatural and defocused. Watch ActMan, or someone else, who is experienced in self-recording, and pay close attention, how he moves and edits the talking parts.
    Good luck, and i hope you will make it!

    These are two completely different games in terms of what they represent. Starfield is a more or less streamlined story driven action game with a little bit of exploration, whereas No Man's Sky is an exploration, adventure and survival game with a little bit of combat and a basic storyline. Both are very good games in their own field and both also have their flaws in their own field.
    Having said that, you really need to play No Man's Sky at least for 100 hours to get an idea of what the game offers. But if you don't enjoy the exploration and survival aspect and do not feel the sense of wonder why you are there and what's your purpose in the universe, it's just not your game. You need to have fun exploring, crafting, improving your abilities, weapons, starships, freighers, exocrafts and want to be surprised by the many additional storylines and missions you will encounter.
    I started playing No Man's Sky only in VR about three years ago and i was hooked just after a couple of minutes in the game. I am now 2300+ hours in and play it almost every day. There are players with 1000+ hours just on one save. Not sure how long you want to play a single save in Starfield.

  • @noid900

    What I understood: Starfield is better because it has guns, while NMS is not a FPS game in space, so it's boring. Maybe you could tell us more about the planets, galaxy, economy, quests, main story, just anything than graphics and guns.

    I played Starfield to level 100 and Played NMS over 2910 hours. I like them both. But NMS is infinite because it is procedural. I can never imagine playing 3000 hours in Starfield! 300 is more than enough for that game (until they drop the DLC at least)!

    Bro nms been better than starfield since starfield came out. The only thing Starfield had over nms was the graphics. Now nms looks good enough that it doesn't even matter. Also holy crap your explanation of nms was the most basic, simplistic shit ever. Like you didn't give the game any chance and it shows. The amount of things you can do in that game. And the idea that seamless transition from space to planet is not an improvement on the 50 cutscenes in Starfield is so dumb. Why make the vid in the first place?

    anything cinematic / cut scene sucks. If it's really, REALLY well made, it can be a good for a 1 time watch. After the 100th time, not so much. NMS is a pretty much close to perfect game. Also the game should be experienced in VR, then you have full / natural scale of everything, that puts any "cinematic" shit to shame, leaving a planet or whatever you do is just super immersive and epic. Combat, you can have it in the first 1 minute, if you want. You have a weapon from the start.

    Macklin,
    You're selling yourself and No Man's Sky so incredibly short.
    As your other comments have mentioned, you phoned it in. You didn't put the effort or time into giving NMS the same level of attention you've given to StarField.
    Having a bias is fine but you shouldn't ever let it taint your perspective and experience.
    You do not need 40 hours to get anywhere, you missed a lot of cues in the 8 hours you purportedly gave.
    As a fellow Creator, I know you can be better than this.
    Being a Bethesda fan is one thing but you have to admit that they really haven't innovated in the 10+ games they've created that are Role Playing adjacent. I can say this as a Bethesda fan since they started.
    No Man's Sky is Hello Games' second title. They've done more with 8 years of iteration, adaptation, and innovation within their engine that Bethesda only wishes they could do with their engine.
    Everyone has their tastes but I firmly suspect you did not give NMS a fair shake on this one.
    Thank you for the video, your perspective, and for sharing your opinion.

      NMS is one of the most incredible space sim ever made.
      Starfield is a mediocre rpg, mediocre fps game, and the WORST space sim, all in one game...
      Today space games / sims are doing stuff like newtonian physics, orbital vectors, structural integrity. simulating a economy... and Starfield can't even do seamless transition transition?
      Worst that that, the RPG aspects sucks...
      The story is dumb, and mediocre, world building is bogus and idiotic, characters are retarded, atmosphere is a carnival of bs...
      Sometimes copying games like Cyberpunk, sometimes Alien, sometimes even some of the Marvel bs....
      THE STORY SUCKS!
      Gunplay is outdated and pathetic, go play some cyberpunk to do some crazy fun sht...
      Space sim part is basically a turret section disguised as arcade gameplay...

    I have played hundreds of hours of No Man's Sky and it is childish, outdated graphics, ridiculous story. Absurd combat.
    Nothing seems real. What good are trillions of planets if everything is algorithmic and repetitive, with unreal distances.
    It doesn't catch me. It seems like a bad joke.
    Starfield is immersive. Great story, dialogues dubbed into my language, realistic physics, good graphics, good exploration. I feel like I'm really in space. It has risk, romances, good combat. Well defined features.
    Starfield is a sum of Mass Effect + Elite Dangerous.
    For me the best. When I met Starfield I didn't play No Man's Sky anymore
