Very nice to see people getting amped about it. KSP basically has created a new genre, that doesn't happen often. It's not a "Space Sim" genre game really, at least not as the term has been used since the 80's. Unfortunately the term itself is inaccurate, since "Space Sim" games are really Space Sci-fi games.

I've been playing Elite: Dangerous, which was the defining "Space Sim" franchise and I've been having loads of fun. But in my mind it doesn't even directly compete with KSP, because sometimes you want to launch rocket to the moon and other times you want to blast pirates out of the skies.

I'm really looking forward to No Man's Sky. I know it's on the hype train express, but it just looks so neat, and if they can pull off the procedural generation and mega-scale universe successfully, it will be awesome. Just need to wait for Steam+Linux version to come out.

WHY are people looking forward to that thing? There is NO gameplay known. The ONLY thing we know about it is that it's pritty.

Why are people hyping something that, for asfar as we have seen, is not even a game? Sure the devs claim it has gameplay, but Ubisoft also claimed AC: Unity would be a good game without bugs. Stop trusting developers until they prove they can follow up

This is true. Maybe it's the word "game" that's off-putting for you. What if instead we called it "interactive art." Would that be better? There's plenty of room for any type of electronic media anyone wants to make. If this type is not your favorite, then you don't have to play it.

It would be fine, if that's how they advertised it. Instead they advertise it as a game, and the media starts hyping it to high hell.

And than sooo many people pre order it, and it turns out to be full of bugs, or they downgraded the graphics that got people to pre order it in the first place, ect ect. That it keeps working only encourages publishers to keep pushing pre orders more and more aggrasively, than releasing a broken mess and let the users figure out the bugs. It's a cycle that's poisoning the industry. Me not pre ordering is a start, but just that is not going to cut it. Alot more people need to wake up before anything improves.

My problem is not with No mans Sky specificly. It's with the whole hype building around things that we know nothing about yet. Just wait until they actually DO release it. Or at the very least, release a release date, or some gameplay

KSP is in it's own genre.

This list of "Space games" covers what? 6 genres? RTS, Moba, simulation, exploration, 6-axis shooter, MMO

I absolutely see no game second to KSP in that list, and also not on my games radar for the upcoming years.
