I played Prototype wondering around in disguise to watch what happens when
you do nothing.
It was entertaining, occasionally.
I played Ken's Rage to see how far I could push the system.
It still is entertaining.
I play Minecraft just to build stuff
It's really entertaining, especially with friends.
I play No Man's Sky to see pretty things.
It's as entertaining as watching a sci-fi movie, especially when adding my
own music.
None of the things I do here are part of the game's purpose, unless the
game was intended as entertainment...
Then they have all succeeded.
Note to LB, all these are kagames btw.

No emergent gameplay means there's no variation. I remember when the
trailers were shown and features were detailed I compared it to scouring
planets in Mass Effect with your Mako. To an extent it's fun to explore,
but there's really no variation in what you do.
It wouldn't really be that hard to implement either, but I suppose they
probably didn't have enough time.
Land on a planet
See Aliens building a base
Aliens get attacked by dinosaurs
You help the Aliens, you get rewarded with stuff
OR
You help the dinosaurs and then claim the base as your own, but you get 2
stars and the cops start chasing you so you have to hide in an alley until
your stars disappear.

Apparently the biggest issue with NMS is that there's no emergent
gameplay.

I have had very similar planets so far. one completely frozen. One
frozen with some unfrozen water. A moon that was very gray but had water.
A luch green planet with only plants and 24-7 toxic rain.
All good, enough to keep me going.

Gameplay is amazingly thin, but just parking off checking out the planets
is cool. Stumbling across a deer looking animals with antlers that tries to
attack me, or seeing a large dino type actually munching on trees… it’s all
good.

This depends on how long do you feel you need to be able to play the game
to make it worth it.
I think there is enough variation to get you through 15-20 hours. I made
it to 40ish hours before I got over it.
But this also depends on how lucky you are.
You could get boring planet after boring planet by sheer luck... or
multiple similar planets after each other.
Or you could get amazing variation in your starting system alone.
Stu's starting system was amazing

How varied is the game play though? Most people who are complaining seem
to say that it's mostly repetition with different cosmetics once you get
far enough.

I still have places to go and creatures to see.

The two vortex planets I've found have had no animals and next to no

Just rocky planets dotted by red glowing things that bring in the cash.

Ha! Correc!
Many characters have special moves that don't end with knockdown, but
keep the opponent standing. Thus means they can go on counterattack
immediately. Cheng is most likely to do it.
It took me forever to discover some of the moves in this game.
