Wow

So while runing down the list of fires in Kilimdor i decided to make a stop and visit an old friend Onyxia in Duswallow marsh
and see if i could borrow one of her drakes for a mount i was so happy when it dropped

Empyrion Galactic Survival

its been a while since my last post, Life tends to win out against playing games and typing blogs but i had to do a short post today

Empyrion Galactic Survival – is one of my favorite all time games on Steam right now
and i have the played hours to prove it haha, i had been playing on a private dedicated server where i made a custom solar system, the recent Experimental Branch  Test Update
gave a feature i really like “Scenarios”

The ability to create a scenario or custom game environment where you decide the layout
worlds , everything

I have created a scenario out of my custom files ( here ) for use with 6.0.1 only
to use with the live server start a new game with the sectors.yaml only

updated my scenario to 6.0.6 http://www.starscorcher.com/egs/StarscorcherV4.zip

 

impressions so far

Ok so here it goes #nomansSky

Entering the game , is a long camera movement through the stars . ( every time you start the game ) takes too long and cant be bypassed , no menu screen on PC for creating new save games or starting a game ( later i found that to start over you had to manually remove the game files on the computer , not the best method )

after about an hour i finally repaired my Ship only to have the game crash and progress was not saved
with no manual save option or quick save option game crashes are going to cause a lot of frustration ( the game needs simple save options built in for PC , console port or not )

after 20 + hours in the game now i have completed the atlas path and am no closer to the center of the galaxy , i have explored 65 systems and only found 7 slot multi tools and cant upgrade , have found ships up to 46 slots , only got my atlas key however recently so have only upgraded my suit about 10 times

the game has a lot to offer yes things that are in the vids are not there , animals are very sparse on all the worlds i have been too no herds or dino’s did see one large fox like animal that stood taller then all the buildings

the flight ceiling also removes a lot from possible game play and the landing sequence not being able to be aborted sux if you hit the “E” key accidentally

i do love the exploration aspects however the trade aspects coupled with so many separate inventory space limitations make the game far more tedious than it needs to be

So far none of my database submissions have been lost either

so far im giving the game 6 / 10
