From other suns feels like a straight rip off... of Pulsar?

[xPAINEx]

Just been playing the beta it felt like pulsar with better graphics but far less content..
Thoughts?

It's just another iteration, they focused on different things and left some things with less detail. It's like comparing PUBG with Fortnite BR ... you don't want make it a pissing contest.

The devs have stated that LOTS of stuff was left out of this weekend's open beta (which is more of a demo, really), so we're just getting a small taste of it, apparently. Hence, the "far less content".

Tried From Other Suns beta, It was just awful. I was bored by the 4th jump due to non existant AI in the FPS sections. Is this game better (or aiming to be) in that regard?

Ok, I still see a lot of players being bored by Pulsar, because theres not enough new stuff comming out.. And devs wasted months on VR... So...

Yeah VR is definitely not worth it for developers right now. Many companies that implimented VR are reporting anywhere from 35% to 60% losses in profit margins. Add that to the seemingly 35% to 60% loss in game content.... and it's just obvious the VR is not ready to move out of the niche market yet.... regardless of what the people who wasted money on VR sets want to believe (they will have to buy new ones by the time VR is relevent anyway).

The hull breaches in From Other Suns, would work really well in this game, as well as a more unique borderlands like gun generation like that also. Pulsar has a much more open feel to it, but From Other Suns has more interesting boarding, ship layouts, guns, and enemy types so far. Pulsar has more interactable stations, while From Other Suns has more of an FTL style low level but frantic interaction. I really like both, but From Other Suns is considered complete, whereas Pulsar has the potential to pull together into something greater, or deteriorate into a mess.

"Yeah VR is definitely not worth it for developers right now"

Really? Please google "pc vr users number"
This is what comes out:
"How many VR headsets sold 2017?
For the first time since launching onto the market, over one million VR headsets were sold in a single quarter. Sony accounted for nearly half of sales, shifting 490,000 units."

OVER ONE MILLION in a single QUARTER - Please do your due diligence before commenting, I applaud the devs for adding VR support, that took just a few months, instead of waiting for the year 202X and then add VR support, where there would have been TONS of space VR games and would have lost TONS of sales.

Devs can add content forever! It takes only ONCE to add VR support and open your business to the VR sector, so devs please ignore the pancakers that haven't touched a vr controller and congrats for embracing the future of where the gaming industry is headed.
