You can fulfil your dream of being the ultimate tank with dual shields!
Who needs skyrim!

(No but seriously that will probably be a viable tactic with a multiple person party.)

I'm hoping there'll be some sort of shield bash attack, but something tells me there won't be.

Worth noting those are 60 "hand-made" armors, not 60 total possible armors. I wonder if what they meant was actually coherent armor sets, given the one on display seems to cover the full body to some degree.

Shields were a bit wonky in the PVP livestream (which was otherwise hilarious, mostly due to Tiy's GM power abuse).

Yeah, I'm 13, but I can agree that must kids my age of kinda jackasses. (but not ME obviously  :P)

Anyway everyone knows it's all about the robots and balls of gas.
Being 14 myself, I can confirm this.

I feel so bad for Chuckelfish. Even if they triple their sales, it's going to be a hard launch with the hate they will get on the forums. No matter how great the game is, right now it seems as if it's going to be the ultimate playground where you can accomplish anything. There is simply no way that it can live up to all of our imagined possibilities at this point. I just hope it doesn't end up like Spore.

TBH beyond walking around on various planets and building things with blocks I haven't seen very much actual interesting gameplay.

So long as there's some form of terraforming (which I'm pretty sure there is to some extent) and a pokédex-esque way of cataloguing monsters you find (which again I'm pretty sure there is) then I'm more than happy.

I'm hoping for the ability to make custom spaceships out of the blocks. Even if it needs an expansion of some sort. The idea of making a WH40k-esque battle cathedral or a steampunk airship-looking thing is an amazing one.

It's really hard to feel bad for 'em, IMO. That's the price one pays for feeding the hype machine and churning out videos, blog posts and IRC/reddit Q&A's when the game isn't even in a playable public beta state yet. I know I'll enjoy it, but if it disappoints millions of 12-year-olds on their forums then that's just too bad.

You can't have your hype and eat it. Or something like that.

I certainly dont have the same experience as you in the video game market but well... terraria did fine in my book untill red disapeared, all shit went loose since then, as long they keep churning out free content and expand im quite sure it wont end up like spore.

In Spore's case they at least somewhat fed the hype mill with two of the hundred videos they released (Once again my theory is that it actually wasn't EA's fault for once).

Starbound however? There isn't much to go on and most of what they talked about are just basic world generation. Any overhype is coming from people taking what is released and booming it beyond what it actually is.
