The new DLC in reviews.

[Don Melon]

I will say I was infuriated that not a Single QT-RTG was found during our run which made using the Hoverboard pointless. Also locking tools until you are right at the ending was also a miss. Thanks for making sure I could not get a portable oxygenator until I really did not need it.

Finished DLC. Other than a new suit, you get most of the tech unlocked and that's all. And nothing changes, even storms do not change, like you did nothing. Doesn't feel like you've won.

No other planets to explore. I was disappointed. What I was expecting was to see at least a satellite or something to fly to. What I was hoping to see was all the old planets as well as this new one called "Aoeluz".

A bunch of games do DLCs where you get a new gamemode that breaks the rules of the main game which could have been interesting with astroneer, but this dlc just makes you replay the same old game which is just boring.

I lost my save file for the game at the very end. I was devastated, but when I realized the only benefit was cosmetics, I was not sad.

I could write a whole book about whats wrong with it... but there are already enough posts. Wasted money tbh.

It was taken from negative and positive reviews.

So you made a topic to explain that you read a bunch of reviews, saw you weren't going to like it, bought it anyways, played it anyways, didn't have fun and are now insulting the devs because of it.

Wow. I wouldn't even know where to begin to pick apart how entitled and ridiculous this is.

You couldn't write a book about how wrong it is. What you could do is write a book about how you made a bunch of poor decisions and can't cope with DLC for a video game existing.

Where did you see the insults? Why are you so upset?

Wow. I wouldn't even know where to begin to pick apart how entitled and ridiculous this is.

And still, you decided to pointlessly post, even not knowing where to begin with it...

For a post complaining the game loop is the same in the DLC minus all the gathered advantages, bar knowledge of course, and it not containig profanity or rage, you seem very upset, why is that?

cause fanbois take it personally when you insult something they use as a measure of their success in life. so yeah they get angry of every little thing lol. like when people buy luxury cars they never actually drive, making up for a lack in some departments *hint* *hint*

It seems like a runaway from psychiatric ward.

A customer voicing their dissatisfaction with a product that they purchased is the exact opposite of entitlement. Entitlement is attacking people who express dissent, acting like something is beyond criticism.

But please, go ahead and pick it apart. I'd love to see the mental gymnastics you'll contort yourself into to somehow prove that you are in any way in the right.

I will say this; yes it IS "entitlement", to voice dissatisfaction in a product you have purchased.
You paid and played and by that you earn entitlement to your opinion - whether somebody on the net likes it or not.
If it's valid criticism; then by addressing it, the product can be improved.
By always dismissing any criticism outright, the product does not improve as it could and the next 10 people that do not voice that criticism, still make financial decisions (Such as not purchasing the next DLC) and eventually the product suffers.


Maybe the crappy DLC is a result of the toxic positivity of the community screamers; maybe not.

I just know, myself, whether I will purchase the DLC and whether I care to further (financially) support the developers.
And no, I will not give you spoilers on my decision.

I wondered where they'd stashed the storms from the EA version, but now I know. They were modified and installed with this “mod”.
They didn't look far and didn't tire themselves out too much.
When I think that it was part of the original game, and now they're selling it separately, they have no shame.

The new storms are in the base game too, but don't let facts stop you.

They aren't the storms from EA though, not in the DLC or base.

That is true. They were not what I expected when I first read about them ingame (they really are kinda lame) and mostly they are an interactive advertisement for the DLC for people that did not buy the dlc yet.

I am disappointed the base game storms don't have a purpose other than DLC entry. You can farm them for bytes I guess. Maybe they will be something more in a future update.

I started playing it almost at the beginning of the EA versions, and the storms were different in their aspect, you’re right.
But only in the aspect, I see that they are in their entirety simply models reworked of the EA version.

I am a few hours into the DLC and I ain't stumble so far. You can work miracles with your "pocket generator". Terrain is fine and if it was not, I can already build the train so what is all that fuss about? Yes, I picked some seeds and realised there is no point doing that because I cannot take them "back home". They should really work out a solution how to integrate this map into the main game. Other than that, nothing. It's good. I like how there is not much of minerals at the beginning and you have only a few bps, it's a bliss because once you touch the Aluminium and Soil Centrifuge the game becomes very easy.

I have not play through EA so storms are very much new to me. At first it was too much because it broke the calm nature of the game. But it's good, nothing to complain about.

@Don Melon
Yes, you've got a point, and I'm very critical, but actually pleased to see the storms again.

I hoped they could be farmed for electricity, but wind turbines do not work within the storm, which is correct because they would not be made to withstand such influx of power, but it's a game and yes, it would be nice if storms have more than just one purpose that you use only once.

I have just watched this. That would be cool, a planet with sandstorms.
