Starbound - Terraria goes to space - Games

[QUOTE=MeltingData;38707471][t]http://puu.sh/1xePZ[/t] note for the last one that this is on that bunny-humanoid race goddammit starbound forums[/QUOTE] Mario reference? [I]Mario reference?[/I] God damn.

[QUOTE=NateDude;38708550]Mario reference? [I]Mario reference?[/I] God damn.[/QUOTE] Didn't you know, Nintendo invented red flowers for Mario.

What if the Starbound forum users were looking back at us and were saying that we were weird, like they were some sort of alternative universe version of Facepunch? This shit's too fucking deep for me.

There are a helluva lot of items in this game. Also, friendly NPCs that act as bystanders, having nothing more to offer other than their presence.

[QUOTE=NateDude;38708550]Mario reference? [I]Mario reference?[/I] God damn.[/QUOTE] Not only that, he acts like referencing Mario is like some kind of subtle nod that some group of people would get.

Why do the dev's seem so bent on tormenting us? :[

[QUOTE=Mingebox;38709192]Not only that, he acts like referencing Mario is like some kind of subtle nod that some group of people would get.[/QUOTE] And like just referencing something is worthy of praise.

I really hope they take their time with this, and makes the ways you can interact with the world really deep. I want to interact with wildlife in other ways than just killing it for example. I want to be able to capture creatures and place them in arenas to fight with crewmembers to show they are worthy of my crew. I want to tame an army of small creatures to fight a really big one, or opposite, tame a big one to kill loads of small ones in an arena. Also, I really hope they make the creatures have good combat, as in, not just hitting you, or the horrible, Terraria-style "Run into players to kill them" combat.

The "run-into-players-to-kill-them" thing never really bothered me, to be honest.

It's no different from a lot of games but it is really quite unrealistic. It happens in Mario, Castlevania, Metroid, Megaman, etc. But when you really think about it why does it make sense for a walking mushroom half your size to hurt you by merely walking into you at a slow pace?

It doesn't make sense. Very few things do in a game like Terraria. :v:

From a technical perspective it at least makes sense. It's a lot easier to just give an enemy a hitbox and say touching that hitbox damages you rather than making attack animations and such. And in the past it may not have even been possible to do otherwise. I don't care either way though personally. I'm so used to Terraria's style that the few games I've played where enemies actually attack and you can walk through them otherwise have felt odd.

[QUOTE=matrix_1995;38713224]The "run-into-players-to-kill-them" thing never really bothered me, to be honest.[/QUOTE] Better than the bullshit that spawns in Terraria after you start hardmode. So fucking annoying.. ranged enemies I mean. Like gastropods that would do a 1/4 of your health by hitting you, then if you run for it they can shoot some pink shit at you that you can't get away from.

[QUOTE=matrix_1995;38713224]The "run-into-players-to-kill-them" thing never really bothered me, to be honest.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but its better if all the enemies have animations for attacking. I didnt mind it in Terraria, but I think it would be better if they didnt have it, at least for all enemies. Some enemies charging at you and ramming you could be cool, but not if they just casually walk onto you

It just couldn't really be animated due to what they had to work with.

Spore with better creature population simulators?

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;38716611]Spore with better creature population simulators?[/QUOTE] I'd throw my monitor against the wall if Starbound has the same ending as Spore. [sp]Super random whacky crazy silly robot in the center of the galaxy.[/sp]

I definitely didn't mean that, I meant the creature population part. The game honestly was a letdown bigger than shit, and not just because of the end of it, but it had some really fun and interesting parts to it. Like how you terraformed planets.

[QUOTE=Persecution;38721971]I'd throw my monitor against the wall if Starbound has the same ending as Spore. [sp]Super random whacky crazy silly robot in the center of the galaxy.[/sp][/QUOTE] I thought that was just the developer's face, though.

[QUOTE=MeltingData;38724752]I thought that was just the developer's face, though.[/QUOTE] That's an Easter egg, if you zoom out all the way when you look at the galaxy and start rotating it as quickly as you can, I think the face of the head developer appears for a split second with this perplexing look on his face before fading away again. when you beat the game, or when you overcome the hyper evolved race of militant super zany random xxpenguinofdoom!!xx robot Teddy bears, you are given the opportunity to finally travel to the center of the galaxy to meet the creator of life. God, essentially. You actually meet a really fucking annoying Wall-E knockoff named Steve, Who congratulates you on your feat and rewards you with the Staff of Life which allows you to create randomly generated life forms on a planet of your choosing. That's it. That's the game. I wanted my 60$ back so badly that I had a nosebleed.

The staff of life was bullshit too, it was basically a cheat item that you got for beating the game, and yet it actually had charges, and you could not recharge it ever.

Guys please stop talking about spore. Its reminding me of the awesome tech demos i watched for years, and when the game finally released, the feeling of utter betrayal and disappointment i had felt. Feels bad man...

[QUOTE=Jetamo;38725017]What did you expect? Really? Deep and meaningful insight into your life?[/QUOTE] Could have put some kind of giant robot satan thing in there as a final boss or something.

Just imagine spending the whole game heading towards the apparent salvation of your species, only to find the cold blackness of space and death waiting for you. Those that miraculously survive the expedition would leave shaken to the core, frightened by a newfound nihilism that startles their species into a new dark age. And then a message pops up, reading, ever so simply: [I]"Nicely done, you dumbass."[/I] Roll credits. Could have been beautiful.

So what do you figure the expected price point of this game is going to be? I mean I'm pumped, I'd probably be willing to shell out like 30 bucks for this... Kinda hoping I can get it in a 4 pack though for me and my friends :D and that could be like what... 60-70 bucks?

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;38726961]Tiy said that the price'll be 10-15$, if I recall correctly.[/QUOTE] Hopefully 50$ for a fourpack. mmmmh. What's the going rate on fourpacks? It's like buy 3 get one free, right?
