    I’ve tried 3-4 times to get into this game, and I guess it’s just not for me. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be really proud of what they’ve managed to turn the game into. It looked pretty…rough 7 years ago but with a bit of patience and a lot of goodwill and hard work they’ve turned it into a success story.

      Same. It’s very broad, but not very deep. I’m generally a deep-system type gamer. Gimme Factorio or it’s kin. I really get frustrated with NMS’s implementation of logistics and stuff. I just gave up. It’s an explorer’s game and I’m not an explorer type.

    game was absolute trash when it was released but after a few years it got a lot better - these days i hop into it once a month or so just to screw around. it’s a fun time sink

    I bought it on sale 6 months ago, I have 20h on my main save and 8h on the last expedition. I can confidently say that I haven’t seen 80% of the game activities, but at the same time I feel like I’ve seen everything. That game is truly an inch deep, it’s incredibly shallow.

      The original release fiasco was such a scam to gamers that I refuse to play it now. I won’t reward their lies and scam with my money.

        It wasn’t a scam, it just kinda sucked. They fixed the suck.

        That’s exactly what I want to see from a game dev. If the game sucks, make it right. Ideally don’t release a sucky game, but the next best is to fix the sucky game.

    Wow I feel old now. 7 years? Already? In my mind No Man’s Sky is still a “new” game.

    Never played the game. But heard all the launch stories and how they picked themselves up.

    Probably will not play the game soon but I definitely interested in trying the VR version once

      I was originally in this camp from the very underwhelming launch it had. Now though, they’ve spent 7 years actually completing the game they started and beyond and its definitely worth the money. Incredibly, all of the content you see in the video is included in the base game, there’s no paid DLCs at all despite the years of work that’s gone into it now.
