Starbound [Winter Update!]

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.

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.
