I'm not sure what "expectations" anybody has. There's been very little information about anything aside from the fact that it's a procedurally generated universe with 18 quintillion planets, that you gather resources to survive and trade, that there are 4 npc factions, space stations and, ah, not much else is known.
I suppose my "expectation" is that it's a singleplayer game where I'll essentially have the entire universe to myself, and be left free to do pretty much whatever the **** I want for as long as I want. |

This is kind of what I'm thinking, if the game doesn't have a story or something to make me want to do stuff it will get old quick. I admit I'm not super familiar with it but without actual content to keep me entertained I will burn out quick. I will probably pass on this one.

It looks to be about as far from Mass Effect (my favorite game series to date...) as you can get. There's no evidence that there's any story at all, and there appear to be zero cinematics. I've never played minecraft so I can't speak to that reference.
I have watched some gameplay today from an individual who bought the game off someone on eBay last night. It looks pretty much like what I thought it was.

Maybe not you, but the level of hype for this game is unreal. Also in the very first sentence of this thread you mentioned being super hyped lol. |

I've played enough Space Exploration games recently enough to know that they are fun for about 6 hours before they get repetitive as hell.

I watched a stream of this. It's everything I have wanted in an exploration game. The vastness of space,seamlessly taking off and landing and from planets. They nailed the music, I just cannot wait.

I'm heavy into story-driven games like Uncharted and far cry but this has me really interested. It's going to either be the game of the year or a disappointment. I don't see it having a middle ground.
However, I fully expect the Devs to add a lot to the game down the road. Take Destiny and Fallout 4 for instance. When they were released, people were somewhat disappointed, (especially in destiny) but with all the new additions, they're greatly improved. I loved fallout 4 from the start but it's so much better now with the DLC. |

I haven't watched anything related to the mythology/motivation of the game. ie the races, history, languages, atlas, etc. But I have watched a lot of random gameplay. Pretty clear to me I'll play for a long time whether or not it's any deeper than explore and survive (which it may not be...), simply because I dig the gameplay.
I think it'll be fun to play a game without a constant gear grind (although I'll always want to upgrade), without any competitive side, without any guides to follow saying 'you must do this and this and this.' The only real motivation to play being whatever new thing I'll find over the next hill, on the next world, in the next system, in the next galaxy. |
