Starbound is going to be massive though.

There will be mechs. MECHS. Like the planets, the guns are randomly generated. Like Borderlands but it has melee weapons, too. You can also dual wield. Pistol in one hand, sword in the other? Yeah you can do that. And there is optional survival options, like you can't get too cold so you need sources that would give you warmth, you need to eat to survive, etc. The endgame planets are meant to challenge even the highest tier gear carriers. Also, the game is planned to get decently big updates roughly every week after the release for a year, so more and more content, after that year, a small team would be dedicated to even more updates. It's badass. And that's only a few features, mind you.

Alternatively, you can play Luigi's Mansion 2, like, right now.

yeah, luigi's mansion 2 is a pretty good game

although nixter keeps giving good points i think i will go with LM2

okay but try to pre-order the game it's cheaper and you get the soundtrack and you get a beta invite

Good to see someone finally addressing the obvious rivalry between Starbound and Luigi's Mansion 2.

For those who don't mind playing the lottery, and have a steam account with +50$ worth of games, steamgifts has gotten a hundred copies of Starbound from the developers to give out :

18,000+ people are entering, though, so... Good luck with that.

I finally preordered the game like 2 weeks ago and ever since I did I can't stop checking my email like 20 times a day.

Updated the topic

so excited for this, really

i can't wait for the beta

i bet it will be better than lugis mansion

too bad, i misreaded "EarthBound"

I see you like comparing apples and oranges
