At launch, for me at least, it was a cool lonely scramble to survive.
Now it's a multiplayer game with a bunch of super easy shortcuts all over the place, even outside of the multiplayer. I enjoy playing with my friends, but the solo experience is definitely worse now.
Thats not really an answer to their question, though.
Also I disagree :)
I'm sorry if you think I didn't give an answer. Because I did.
You answered a question with a good answer, just not to the question they aske. They asked about the comment - "it's not the game we bought into at launch". They were talking about how a lot of people complained that what the game was at launch wasn't what had been advertised - what people "bought into".
You seem to be explaining why it's "not the game you bought at launch" - which is definitely a valid argument too, just to something else.
I never figured a reason to even bother with multiplayer in NMS, except maybe to speed up base building. The only real challenge of the game is surviving the first hour, even on hardcore/permadeath.
Yeah, I have the permadeath achievement. Once you get off the first planet you're fine.
It used to be harder for a lot longer. Now you can just teleport anywhere you want at anytime.
