Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

As someone who last tried No Man's Sky out about 5 years ago, it looks like it's time to give it another shot.

I keep being enticed back to trying the game again with each new release but the gameplay just doesn't grab me and there's such a limited amount of story that it doesn't get its hooks in me. I guess I'm just not a crafting/survival type.

If they have an expedition then play that mode. I really do not understand why they do not keep an Expedition or two running at all times. They add exactly the amount of depth folks find missing and normally I can run one and then I still play and have fun for another 20 hours before the game gets repetitive and I quit for a bit again.

Expeditions are amazing, but I've only finished one because I'm usually out of the loop and start them way late. It would be amazing if they brought old ones back into rotation so people who are new or just missed them could earn the rewards eventually. I feel like they have enough now to make a pretty good rotation without feeling repetitive

They have brought a few expeditions back for replay a couple of times. However, another user here alerted me a while back to the presence of this:

On select platforms (PC and strangely also the Switch) you can replay the expeditions and get their rewards payouts any time you like.

They do this occasionally, where they'll replay them over the course of a week or something. I recently read that there are also ways to play them in offline mode through mods.
