Don't fall into the No Man's Skytrap

Remember the discussions we had about how big the universe should be?

I hope Stardock is watching the reviews of No Man's Sky.

Check out the first looks on Metacritic. (Ignore the user ratings because they were bombed by 4chan.)

I know this opinion is going to be unpopular with the explorer crowd, but it has to be said. Repetition is what you get when you have a huge, procedurally generated universe, and the critics are questioning the longevity/staying-power of the game because of it. 

 

I don't want repetition. Give me more curated worlds and less algorithms, please.
