WHY is No Man's Sky NOT respected as a SURVIVAL GAME 

i still play it its a game to wich u return time afer time.

You don't survive you thrive every other survival game you don't thrive you just keep surviving

A survival game is when the clock keeps ticking but in no man's sky the clock can stop

No man's sky is an expiration game not survival it doesn't exploration better than anything else but lacks proper survival,combat, and story because it's exploration nothing else maybe in the future it will be but not soon

@@he8535 looks like you havent played the game

Also the best exploration game period

@@TornadoTrickit really does, I’ve been replaying tears of the kingdom but no man’s sky truly has so much content that I’m beginning to prefer playing it just to see what new content I can check out. Hello games really put something for everyone in this game and it runs and looks great on ps5

Its tons of fun, and we got a new expedition! 😁

Why on earth would a survival fan hate NMS is it has survival elements plus a bunch of other stuff? If anything it'll be one of the games that they love. And why be "jealous" if they can just buy the game themselves? The point you just made was very stupid.

@@Smorgasvord Okay. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 You doing alright, man? 😳

I'm ok, had to leave the country to be with my dad as he has Cancer , sold all my gear n packed my stuff a dlfew months ago... im in the process of slowly rebuilding but its gonna take time. But I will return at some point, you can count on it

Love your breakdown! And yea that game is very special , glad you found your love with it

Thank you! 😊

Not a hot take imo... I actually speak on it pretty explicitly in the video. I'm right with you!

@WaveBoogie True. I watched your video I was implying my hot take as I supplied zero supporting evidence in my comment. ;)

thank you so much! means alot to me.

let me know what you would like to see on the channel. i was in the process of moving homes this week, why i didnt upload... and i will soon get back to it! so im open to ideas. the channel is brand new and im new to editing so im having alot of fun learning and developing my own style, therefor, im not opposed to trying things

Well, since you appear to have "survival game" expertise and passion. Perhaps you could do videos on things like... 1) What specifically distinguishes a "good survival game" from a "bad survival game"? (mechanics, scenarios, gameplay loops, stages of progress, feelings of achievement, game world interactions etc). Where exactly are the lines where the attempt to inject realism into this genre can become tedious rather than engaging for players? Once you have achieved a certain amount of progress (crops for constant incoming food and resources etc) does a survival game cease to be a survival game? And what new survival elements could be injected into these late game stages to re-establish the same kind of survival elements rather than just having to continually start over from scratch to re-experience them again? 2) Why do so many fans of this genre believe that "true survival games" have to be set in primitive survival scenarios and can't be set in sci-fi scenarios? (you touched on this topic in this very video). Where did this perspective originally come from? What other types of potential genres are potentially being underutilised within the typical survival game landscape in your opinion? 3) Where do you think survival games can go in the future to reinject interest beyond just "improve graphics" and "bigger worlds"? Where do you believe that the next stages of evolution of survival games will be (or should be) headed into the future? 4) What games that are not actually designed to be "survival games" can either have their settings altered to become survival games or can be achieved via by self-imposed non-use of specific game mechanics. You can also do a separate video on games which have had specific mods created to turn them into survival games (I know that Skyrim had a number of these for example). Just don't forget to mention if these mods are PC only or also available on consoles. 5) Or how about "A Soft Guide into Survival Games for people that never found their groove"? A basic rundown of positives and what to expect once they have gotten passed the initial time consuming and frustrating first hump at the early stages of survival games. Just for people who have never gotten into the survival genre because it was too frustrating for them early on and they gave up before ever seeing what was on offer. Why they might want to give it a chance and why you think they should (and some softer introduction game recommendations to try that has the necessary introductory elements, but without the steep learning curve). 6) What are your personal "faves of all time" within the survival game genre? The "best of the best" and why in your own personal opinion? You can also do a personal "must play at least once" survival game list video or section. 7) Another good idea could be to do something like "My Love Letter to Survival Games". Just a video purely explaining why you personally feel in love with the survival genre. How you started on the path and why specifically it grabbed you and wouldn't let go. The early games you played, the path you took to get from "there to here". The new innovations entering the genre currently that you are excited about and what you are looking forward to in the future. Why you love the survival gaming community. Viewers generally enjoy people talking about their passion in a purely positive light and seeing someone showing their love for it. These videos are usually quite popular. --- As a counterpoint you could also make a video about some of the things you dislike about the survival genre, bad habits that have snuck in as modern standards, over-simplifications of old mechanics (or over-complications of old mechanics), bad exploits and bad behaviours that exist within some places of the online survival community. The "unspoken rules" that some gamers choose not to follow to the detriment of new gamers "survival noobs" joining the community or the overall community as a whole. These kinds of videos also seem to often do well. --- Oh, and how about a video that tries to explain to people exactly why someone might pour hundreds if not thousands of hours into a single survival game. What exactly motivates someone to do that? What specifically drives them forwards day after day to spend that much time in these worlds? What the game itself and the community as a whole does to continually incentivise them to want to keep going even after all that time and still love it. This could potentially be interesting for some people to learn about. 8) Once you have slightly increased your subscriptions... doing "polls" can be both engaging to your viewers and also help you generate content specifically tailored to what your subscribers want to see from you. Making at least some of your content video ideas easier to generate. That is of course if you only want to focus on survival game content (which initially probably is a good idea, since you obviously have good knowledge and far more importantly personal passion about this game genre... which is something viewers are going to feel while watching your videos and will inevitably result in and increase of your views and subscriptions). Like for example, I'm not overly a "survival game" guy. I'm not opposed to it in any way and do play them, but I don't intentionally go out of my way to seek them out. But I still thought your video was great because I could tell that you were passionate about it (plus the take of a game I've played, but from a survival perspective was different for me). Even "survival amateurs" like me can tell that you care about the things you are talking about without you being pretentious about it. This aspect of you is currently is your greatest asset to the growth of your channel. People can feel this stuff though your videos. So definitely don't lose it. However, you will obviously also need to eventually diversify to other things in the long-term future as well to maintain and increase interest in your content (ie. different aspects of gaming that you are also passionate about). Depending on what those passions are, I should be able to give you further suggestions if you think it might be useful to you. But honestly, you are off to a good start in my opinion. You have a good video presence that comes across as authentic feeling (rather than a "persona" you are roleplaying for increased views, which is far too common on You-tube). Regarding editing, I have no advice as this video looked pretty good to me. If you are still in the early stages of playing around with it, then just keep doing what you are doing. You obviously have good natural instincts regarding editing so it will likely just evolve as you get more and more experience with it. So I don't think you need any advice. You're honestly doing pretty damn good.

@@snaek29 ok, ima print this out n stick it on my wall! alot of great ideas you got there. thank you so much for taking the time to write all those ideas down, it wont go to waste!

@@WaveBoogieYT Honestly, no problem at all. After seeing the quality of this video I was genuinely surprised at how few views and subscribers you had despite being a relatively new channel. You-tube must make it quite difficult to establish a foothold for new channels obviously, because your channel definitely deserves more than you've got clearly. But I'm confident that if you break through that invisible barrier and more people finally see what you have to offer you'll be fine. Just got to find a way to get over that initial speed bump I think.

Yeah, getting youtubes algorithm to react to your videos is the secret sauce... its tough to decipher but im learning. I just don't want to become one of those cookie cutter youtubers. I enjoy just being me and talking about games I love. Now it's about cracking the code and making youtube want to push it to more people. But all good things take time and ima keep clawing at it.

I have just started 2 months ago, and did not upload in 1 week because I am in the process of moving homes atm. So the youtube channel is very very new and you have no idea how much that means to me! I will be back at it very soon, I just need to move the rest of my equipment and set everything back up! And then I'll be back to growing my channel. It's still a baby, but I really love doing it and won't stop anytime soon. Thank you!

@@WaveBoogieYT You are very welcome!

While I do get it in a way, because products should be delivered as you pay for them. At the same time, this is one of the few exceptions for me... Hello Games stood behind their game and took it to new heights. At the end of the day, the game is incredible, and feelings are robbing alot of people of a good gaming experience. At least, in my opinion.

Returning cold turkey from 2016 will do that to you. The game today is in a legendary lane. Glad to see more people return!

thank you very much! and im really happy you are enjoying this game, it trully is a gem!

That has to be the coolest comment I've ever read . Thank you so much!

That's a good point! 👍

absolutely ! explore on traveler!

Its an incredible game , you should take another crack at it

How does it run on Switch? Any issues?

the game crashes after playing to much i dont think that the Nintendo switch is made to play as much as i do yes it can be played on your tv but still i dont think its made for that when i get off it feels like its on fire i am happy my Nintendo switch did not blow up yet it may happen one day but i hope it never does

@@darkdeath47xxx lol omg... thats why i asked, my nintendo switch's performance is horrid! cuz i got a 1st edition release. its a brick lol i barely ever use it anymore unfortunatelly

Thats a good point. However I'm not sure how world persistence can be achieved on a technical level 🤔 but it sure would be nice 👍

Thank you! don't plan on stopping, so you can expect more!

OMG don't get me started on SS ... i could rant for years about that non-sense, however too many gamers with stockholm syndrome would come for me , so ill just keep it between me and you! lol

One of my personal favorites! I dumped endless amounts of hours in Empyrion. It is an unsung hero imo

I would agree , once you know the game the survival aspects lighten quite a bit

first off thank you, i am working on a full channel re-vamp where i wont pigeon hold myself to just indie survival... so you can expect more frequent uploads soon. life has kept me really busy latelly and wish i could do it more as i really enjoy making videos. As for the game, yeah its a total Gem you can get lost in. glad to see people enjoy it so much! hope to see you on future videos. love the feedback, good or bad, its what makes the channel better! thank you

one of my favorite games , i sank so much time in it, its embarassing lol

Spent endless hours in Empyrion , one of my favorite games of the genre

Have you tried it on permadeath with every difficulty slider cranked to max? That's definitely a more survival oriented experience. Limited inventory, can't buy survival essentials in shops, resources are scarcer, definitely more planning involved.

NMS is a survival game if you set it up that way. As the previous commenter said, maxing out all settings and enabling permadeath provides a very different gameplay experience than what you get in normal mode, which itself is quite different than creative mode. You can customize the settings to fall anywhere between those modes, as well. Personally, I tend to rotate between two saves. One for normal gameplay (which is quite relaxing now that I've upgraded all my gear), and one for "Iron Man" runs. The latter can be quite intense, and definitely qualifies as a survival game imo. The former, not so much. But that's what's great about NMS. It offers enough variety in gameplay types to match whatever mood I'm in. No other game I've found does that better than NMS.

ur right! thats why custom games r better

@@WaveBoogieYT I've been playing on survival, I don't want to mess with anything in the chance I'll miss out on the trophies or achievements
