Starbound [Winter Update!] - Ryukiroku - 2013-11-20
I missed the thread yesterday about it somehow but there's actual logic gates in the game:
http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/wires-logic-gates-pics.33060/
Much better than Minecraft's/Terraria's systems and much more compact. I can't wait to come up with some decent gadgets.

My RL friend is completely ecstatic about the beta being official for Dec 4th. I'm hyped, but not super crazy about it.

So what you guys are telling me, is that Spadow and 67Frogs are clearly the same person. Also, seems like we should get ready at 10 AM PST.

Jesus, you'd think if you were doing a playthrough video you'd at least talk about the actual damn game. and you know, have someone presenting it who actually knows how to play games. "How do I know how much wood I need?" you can clearly see it in the menu.
What an awful video.

Starbound [Winter Update!] - 案山子 - 2013-12-03
Honestly, the combat seems VERY awkward so far, and your characters are pretty floaty. I don't like how you get different loot based on what weapon type you use, meaning you don't really have any freedom of how you build your characters. You're always going to need to use every weapon type available to get the most out of your experience in any playthrough -- at least from what I can tell so far. If it's true then anybody who was discussing their "dream playstyles" are going to be pretty disappointed when they find out they're forced hybrid or gtfo.
Also, I hope a lot of the SFX are placeholders because they sound horrible. These "intense hiccup" sounds when getting hit, the monsters making burp and fart noises? Please fix.
I'm also on the fence about the procedurally generated monsters. On one hand it keeps you from having to see the same 50~100 enemy designs forever, but on the other hand they tend to look like complete pomegranate, which don't help when combined with the sounds some of them make.
Example: Armored, spiked dinosaur creature that appears to be missing a head makes, I kid you not, chihuahua noises at you.

Seriously? If that's true that's just fucking stupid.
I've been watching RockLeeSmile's stream and overall I'm still pretty excited for the game. I acknowledge that this is a beta, and while it may have a substantial amount of content available, it's not everything, nor is the stuff in it finalized. So, because of that, I haven't really been too judgmental of the game. Plus every streamer I've checked out just isn't really doing much aside from walking around planets, mining, and killing monsters--barely anyone is crafting stuff, building stuff, etc.
The game has a ton of potential, so I hope they don't royally mess this up. They have big shoes to fill following Terraria and trying to one-up it, so they cannot afford ridiculous mechanics or features. On that note, I also hope the SFX are temporary, it's really odd and distracting when the streamer is encountering these hostile alien creatures who are menacing and monstrous but then let out an awkward, loud horse neigh upon getting hit. It's just weird.

Was talking to my RL friend about the whole "Loot based on weapon" system and he pretty much just told me the typical "It's beta. People should pineappleing deal with it. Learn to craft weapons then."
Needless to say I was rather pissed at him for that response, especially since he basically resorted to the "White Knight" syndrome of "You can't peach about anything because it's Beta and it's not final" ordeal. Yes I understand it's beta, but that doesn't mean I can't talk about my displeasure over a system that more or less forces people to become a "Jack-of-all-trades" hybrid or else you're screwed.

"It's beta," isn't even a logical complaint in this situation. You don't fu'ck up and accidentally make a system that does that. If it exists, they clearly intended to build the game that way, and as a result it's working mostly as intended.
The system isn't AWFUL, although it has some stupid parts of it. Phantasy Star Portable 2/2i/Online 2 have all used this type of system (Class directly impact Drops), and for the most part it is acceptable. It just depends on HOW MUCH is exclusive to each weapon type. For example, if you will ONLY get X weapon type no matter what if you're using said weapon type, then that's pretty stupid, however if it just edges you towards more gear related to your weapon of choice, then that's a completely different story. It all depends on how it was implemented and how much influence it has over your drops.

If they can get it to work / mesh well then I'm ok with it. Obviously I'm rather skeptical on the system as a whole, because it can easily be screwed with and made horrible. Guess we'll find out just exactly how it works in ~32ish hours.
Starbound [Winter Update!] - Ryukiroku - 2013-12-03
Someone's got to fill me in on this one, I've been searching the official Starbound forum and the only weapon I can see that changes the loot tables is the hunting bow... and that's just to get meat. I can't find "Sword users get only Swords" or "Gun users get only Guns". ;/
If a systems in place, it really doesn't bug me too much since I tend to go range overall anyways and maybe forge a sword or two for close combat. If it is like that, I can't really see it staying long due to the fans being extremely loud about decisions like these. We'll see though, got a day to go woot.
