No Man's Sky
 

So this game comes out this week, an indie space exploration game thats getting the AAA game treatment and marketing. I'm gonna wait till the Hype dies down (theres a lot) before buying in case, but it still looks like its gonna be a pretty cool game

looks ugly now

Overhyped. Looks like a game you will get bored of after an hour of flying around and looking at plant life. Cannot even explore with others.

game crashed when I tried to use the hyperdrive for the first time

It seems incredibly boring and ugly to me

totally wanted to get it but then I realized animal crossing is better.

Yeah I'm not gonna lie, this game is a LOT more shallow than it seems.

they did not market this game properly at all. it's overhyped for what it actually delivers on.

played it all day yesterday and got bored pretty quickly, it's insanely casual

Ye

I actually love the game and I'm playing it right now. I agree it was over hyped, but it wasn't meant for everyone. If you're a nerd like me who loves Star Trek and just space in general this game will never be boring. If you were expecting a 8/10 or 9/10 game filled with so much entertainment then you thought wrong. This game is for people who enjoy relaxing while traversing the universe looking for new interesting things to do. Their is so much lore in this game and it just looks beautiful in general. Not to mention the game was made by a very small team which is really impressive. Other games with larger teams wouldn't get as much attention as this did and to me the developers truly delivered their promise on an amazing game for casual gamers.

Pulse drive is amazing.

the pc version unlocks today at 1:00 pm est, despite them being shady about finding your friends, saying it was nearly impossible i ordered the game on steam, it still looks awesome.

waiting to see people play the superior (PC) version

People need to realize there is no multiplayer, only the ability to see other players, and everyone loses their mind after two players aren't able to see each other on launch day, and apparently more players on day 1 than expected. It will be fixed, its an indie game, not a ubisoft title

Problem is people have analyzed packets and such and concluded there's no data being transferred anywhere with information related to position and such.

Kind of funny with the claims of running into another player were so small because the world was so huge, and it happened on launch day. Doesn't really seem to back up all the other claims very well... do we have another Peter Molyneux?

I read that they were also invisible to one another, two players were streaming on the same location but neither of them could see the other

There's also a whole issue going on with the European limited edition box, originally it was printed with stickers for an age rating of 12 and to include multiplayer, but another set of stickers was replaced overtop of it with an age rating of 7 and no multiplayer (peeling it off will reveal the other stickers)

Seems like they screwed up pretty hard

Yeah but to be fair he literally says non-stop that meeting other players would rarely happen and that this game is more single player than anything and if you're looking for multiplayer then it's not the game for you

The game was just released, could easily be server issues or disabled for a while, but the surroundings to both streamers were actually different and different events were occurring for each of them, so they weren't entirely 100% in the same environment

I would say it's too early to tell, but the problem is that he's already said multiplayer has a next to none chance and people just overhyped it

Also the interviews being used against him are 2 years old

In the long run. The game just came out. It will be awhile till it is prefect.

Personally I am going to wait till the price goes down. I only view it as a single player game. Like skyrim. I don't plan on playing it for weeks and weeks. So buying it at full price to me is a waste.

That was not what I think they were hoping for on launch day for PC

I've watched quite a few streams just out of curiousity. I guess it focuses on survival and exploration and has pretty much no story. It seems like most creatures you find on the planets are peaceful and won't attack you, which seems weird. It seems like a lot of grind without much challenge. It's definitely cool looking. I also heard that there's hardly any fighting on land and most of it is in ships, which would suck since they have all those guns and improvements for them. To me it looks like a huge grind game, and the reward is the GFX and cool planets and creatures you find. It's fun to watch, but I wouldn't want to play it. I don't think it's worth $60. I think it should be $30-$40 since most of it looks like a bunch of filler just so they can say the universe is practically infinite, even though that doesn't improve your gameplay. I actually think it hurts it because it could have been a lot cooler if it was a real multiplayer game where people could see your discoveries and you could adventure together.

O boy do i regret this purchase.... Oh well can't get a steam refund now I might as well go for 100% achievements

I agree with some things in this video, but I still love the game for it is. I'm still not bored of it yet. Their has been so many ps4 games that comes out and I get bored of in less than a week, but this one is different.

You have to love it for it is and what it can improve on because it's only going to get better from here. Kinda reminds me when Minecraft was released on consoles.

I agree it does deserve a 7/10 though.

This video summed up all the possibilities in the game

I don't know man, that's a pretty terrible comparison. Hasn't Minecraft always been a $20 game? And there is still more to do on it, even when it was first released. I see a lot of complaints about NMS but the only real issue I have with it is the price tag. I think I would really enjoy the game as well, but there's no way it's worth $60 in its current state.

Minecraft came out on PC first since it was made by an indie company with no publisher unlike NMS which Sony advertised and published so I believe Sony made that price tag. So it's not really their fault like if it came out PC on first it probably would have been 20-30 dollars at least. Sony usually lets some games come in with a 40 dollar price tag though so I can understand why people are mad about it's price tag, but The Order 1886 was 60$ so people were even more pissed about that.

Going back to the Sean Murray interview with Stephen Colbert:



Sean literally lies to Stephen when he says there would be multiplayer interactions.

You know you ****ed up when you lie to Stephen Colbert's face in front a million+ people watching the interview.

I actually really like the game. I enjoy being a lone space explorer, it doesn't really bother me that there is no multiplayer. It'd be cool if it got added, but it's not what I was looking for when I got it. I tried for the most part to stay off the hype train and not follow what Sean Murray said too closely. I do think it has bugs and that some things could be fixed/patched, but overall I think it's enjoyable.

That being said, I also really like this short video:

Games like this make me wonder why the **** do they put things in a game and then take them out later, while knowing that it will affect the game so negatively is stupid af

cash in on the hype knowing that they can't deliver

I learnt this word:

Love AJS. 'One Man's Lie'. Review had me rolling especially when he went on a swearing rampage when the game kept crashing. Even better was when he used Phoenix Wright's Objection (BS) at every statement that wasn't in the final game. Smh this game was overhyped and had many features that were said was gonna be in the final release stripped out.

colin should lock this thread incase anyone here gets the dumb idea to buy this game. sean murray is a ****ing disgusting liar. 60 dollars for a game that doesnt deliver the **** it was advertised to have. what a cheat.

Just bought a starship for 7 mil! Been saving all week. New patch coming next week.

Navigator John out.

They haven't addressed the lying yet

ofc not, with the amount of hype they got based on lies they knew they had to cash in.

so your discoveries are only saved for 2 weeks...

There's been news from Hello Games that it might be getting some paid DLC.

Thanks for that Sean.

So apparently you can get a steam refund if you have played more than 2 hours. You may need to send a support request after the refund request gets automatically declined:

that's nice!

now hopefully everything else will get resolved




yeah right

it's apparently turning into No Man's Buy

or One Man's Refund

No Man's Sky Center of the Universe ending:



I'll just go kill myself now.

I heard Sean Murray was kind of hinting that he wants it to come to xbox too... Not sure why he would, since everyone knows it's not what it was branded as.

amazing game

by far my favorite purchase of 2016
