>game world is so big that you will only get to explore 0.01% of it, at best
why do devs do this? what's the point?
Game world is so big that you will only get to explore 0.01% of it, at best
Lucas Fisher
Brandon Rivera
Cause it's fun and adds depth.
Nicholas Murphy
it adds distance, not depth
case in point: Elite Dangerous
Connor Lopez
Its actually pretty great for MMOs. Pretty easy to find a spot that nobody has explored yet and then put some wierd shit there.
Elite dangerous did this with their armored space jellyfish i believe.
Jace Nguyen
for autists that want a true sandbox experience like myself
Justin Bailey
Andromeda vs Milky Way PvP event when?

>You will never stand at the edge of a galaxy and look out into a true void
>You will never see the buffet of stars that exists out there with your own eyes
>You will never get to fly around alien worlds, uncaring of your own limitations
>You will never get to fully experience this world
Fuck this gay timeline
Jeremiah Carter
But hey, we'll always have Shodan.
Samuel Long
That's a poor example. It creates unintended features that add to depth and wouldn't really have the same impact otherwise. See: Fuel Rats and their absurd month long rescue missions.
Lincoln Sullivan
>deleted previous response because i'm a fag and mouse is retarded
Players created that depth, players do this because the game has nothing.
i'm currently out at Ishums Reach, i've been playing since kickstarter, and after quite a while, I can say there's really fuck all to do.
scanning shit, moving shit, or shooting shit, there's som RNG shit, and thats about it, the game is 52,850 light years wide, and one inch deep.
Anthony Kelly
You can explore as much of it as you want. Endless discovery and things to see.
This is what I like about ED.
Wyatt Carter
The bigger question you should be asking isn't why the game world is so big that you'll only experience 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001% of it.
No the question you should be asking is what game dev jackass thought it was a good idea to implement hornets.
HORNETS.
Lucas Diaz
Xavier Morales
A bigger game map doesn't equal to more depth.
Angel Phillips
Xavier Roberts
Because when you die you just respawn somewhere else, and the map is so big you probably won't even remember your last playthrough.
Ian Hill
Are you mentally retarded or just a fucking idiot?
Jaxson Turner
Isn't it theorized that since distance between the stars is so big that the odds of a star even coming close to another one is astronomically low?
Christopher Jones
At least NG+ is an option.
Brandon Allen
There are loads of multiple star systems.
Julian James
The concern isn't stars hitting one another. It's stars getting thrown out of the galaxy entirely from the gravitational forces.
Isaac Foster
It's kinda funny how if it turns out that there is no afterlife, reincarnation is still a possibility of what happens after death
Colton Turner
Yes, space is massive. But galactic halos (gas left over form formation or mergers) are even bigger. Halo interaction is now a thing. If the Andromeda Halo has already made contact with the milkyway Halo, this would mean that the dust density is significant to produce stars that exist extra galactically--that they're not bright enough unfortunately to be detected due to how bright galaxies are.
And in turn that could mean that it's possible for life to form in those worlds as well. In SpaceEngine, you can travel to the outer halo of the MW galaxy, and you can actually find life supporting Terran worlds FAR above the elliptical or below the elliptical, it's crazy.
Daniel Morgan
Because it's simulating space retard, and space is unfathomably big.
Brayden Sullivan
Because space is massive. That's literally the point. There are concepts and things so far beyond us that we can hardly conceive of them.
On that note, I'm still sad there's no genuine horror game that tries to emulate such a large world. It's perfect for cosmic horror shit.
Angel Kelly
>get into a neutron star in VR
>instantly sick
Connor Watson
>0.01%
You wont be even close to explore that much
John Evans
>you get to live in a relatively peaceful time period before the jews completely take over the world by automating every single job with advanced AI and making human labour unnecessary, turning everyone but the utmost elite into nothing more than oversized vermin
Ethan Martinez
Mason Gonzalez
Man I just want space-time manipulation powers and the ability to survive all this crazy shit so I can explore.
Xavier Walker
me too, user
I wanna float infront of a black hole in the vast darkness of space just to experience what true nothingness feels like
