It's evident that Starbound is officially crap. See, when 1.0 was released, I was hyped to play it along with the 64000+ players that initially played it. Now after 3 days, half of it is gone. Why? The content is just too little. Alot of blocks and furniture, yes, but where is tha actual useful content?

I crafted a solaris armor and got the best ranged weapon in the game, after 12 hours. Now that's kind of concerning.

I didn't even have to finish the final boss. Bosses here give you nothing but ♥♥♥♥. Literally. Even the pixels they give are ♥♥♥♥. 12 pixels for killing the flying alien penguin ship? Wow. How OVERWHELMING.

What Terraria did good in this aspect is that it made it very hard to acquire items and things, thus making it feel rewarding to actually finally have crafted your armor set. And they had far, FAR more content than in Starbound. 5 years in development, free, unpaid testers, and an extremely large capital from the kickstarter project for this game, and what did they use the money for? Expand the company so they can be like Steam - game indexing instead of game development. They've used the funds orignally set for Starbound for other projects, and now they can't deliver.

Everything else that you can do in this game is just for prettying up things. There are like 3 planet types with 1-2 subtypes that basically diversifies the content by just about 5-10 percent, and it's not even funny. The only thing that adds usefulness with building are farms, if you're casual, for the buffs aside from stim packs.

This was a projec in failure. What 1.0 did was just overhaul the grind, not lengthen it, make it more useful, or make it more rewarding. They basically just organized the content already in there, and deprecated 80% of it.

GG Starbound.

*3.1.1 UPDATE*

- Still ♥♥♥♥. The most basic and fundamental functions barely function properly.

EXAMPLE:

> Need to hunt a pirate
> Mission node spawns in space
> Warps inside node
> Find 3 NPCs in one wing, with one messaging me that he's "badly damaged", and needs help with the pirates as "he is being attacked"
> Scans ship. He is in perfect condition, and just standing still
> I attack the Fer De Lance escorted by 2 Vultured with high-powered Rail Guns that take out my 500 Shield in 4 combined shots
> Escorts of "Damaged NPC" don't help.

TL;DR: The devs are ♥♥♥♥, still putting up extremely low-budget "streams" to put up a lie so people will buy the EXPENSIVE GAME with EXPENSIVE liveries.

STILL DO NOT BUY.

1. Lock-picked a house
2. NPC complained of trespassing
3. Saw a Khajit assassinate said NPC
4. Khajit: "You just witnessed a murder. You saw nothing."

10/10 would witness murder again.

When I first heard of Minecraft, I thought sandbox games are a total ♥♥♥♥. I like linear games where the game itself helps give you direction.

But Terraria changed that.
