I bought it cheap (£15 I think) for the PS4, went wandering about, was getting very bored and then completely bored when I realised I can't jump out of the system I'm in and can't get the juice anywhere on any of the planets in my system. I'm basically stuck on a planet.

I could've started again - but I really, really didn't see the point.

Open world and massive but one of those games that's boring for it.

Time for a re-look - but I'm not holding out much hope.

I bought the game last year, and became bored with it after six hours or so.  Hearing about the new patch, I decided to give the game a try again.  So far, about 15 hours in I like it...but I am following the story start.  There is much more to like for me anyway, than not to like.  Enjoying base building and hiring employees.  Not certain how replayable it is.

Yes, you can select to go it alone....pretty easy...question is right up front at every reload.

I must be dense because I'm not seeing this... I see I can make a game where others can join OR I can join another's game.... no option to just play alone forever.....

My understanding is that if you select the first option, you are the host, and only people who you invite may join.

Either way, this isn't an MMO. Everybody who plays isn't in the same instance of the game world. I believe only up to 16 players can be in any one instance of a game at the same time.

Anyone playing this actively?
I finally picked it up for a mere 10 dollah as what I've been reading looks like the game has improved quite a bit and for only a tenner I'd be willing to take a look with my own eyes.
I understand the latest patch even added a whole underwater world!

I don't think I've loaded it since the latest addition...but by far it was the single most boring game and waste of money and time I've ever discovered in the gaming world.

I hope your experience differs.

it has drastically improved since its release. Its worth taking a look at for sure, but I think its longevity is still limited, even in its improved state. I haven't tried the underwater update yet. I'm sure its cool, but like everything else, I'm also sure the excitement will wear off after awhile...I mean the water is great, but isn't the vastness of near infinite space deep enough? If that doesn't keep things exciting and fresh, I doubt some lakes or even oceans will...
