Re: No Man's Sky

Guess I'm lucky that I didn't pay much attention at all to this game during the 'hype' phase, as I didn't think it'd be something I would be interested in. Decided to buy the game last minute on release day and have loved every minute since. All the stuff I'm reading people complaining about were never things I knew about in the first place anyways, so nothing lost for me. I suppose it's just a matter of expectations.

Same here. I knew basically nothing other than...millions of planets, space exploration, ships, aliens.....yeah sounds like fun.

Here we are.

You're fortunate, as we were buying the game straightforward questions like multiplayer were left vague and unanswered when a simple 'no' would have sufficed months ago. Just days prior to release we were finally told the PC version was delayed a few days. This is the kind of stuff that set up the backlash and exacerbated the conflicting statements over the course of development.

I tend to do the same, didn't pay attention to much more than the headlines until a month or two out and most games don't really bother with until the week of release.

I've still had my fun with NMS but the distrust is from more than the internet doing its usual spasm over a controversy. Sean was always 140 characters away from preventing a lot of this.

Re: No Man's Sky

If Sean Murray once came out and told us what wouldn't be in the game compared to the years of hype, I'd understand you guys defending him. I'd get it.

<b>But how are you pretending he and the studio didn't fail to deliver on what they said was in the game?</b> There is a giant thread outlining with evidence, everything that was said to be in and ultimately not in the game. Yet y'all keep saying gamers overhyped themselves and aren't using facts. Are you intentionally trolling or what?

LOL.........I would look at the early posts in this thread regarding what this game was about and see if they didn't deliver it in that sense first before proclaiming a defeatist claim.


If you like to go into the early pages of this thread, take a look at what this game was all about originally.<b> An open Si-Fi universe for exploration and survival in an infinite procedurally generated galaxy.</b> I would say they delivered on that promise. We are given the task to go at our own pace and so far, it has given us that gameplay. Do I want to see some improvements? You bet ya. Will these improvements come in free DLC down the road? Quite possible.

People jumping up and down about what's been discovered or not discovered is laughable when you're talking about over 18 quintilian planets.

Looking back at all the videos and discussions in the early posts, the closer you get to the center of the universe, the harder everything becomes. Oh, I also forgot about space portals that were mentioned. But since nobody has discovered it, then it doesn't exist.

Re: No Man's Sky

The space portals are black holes, as I understand it from I've of the choices i just had to make in the game.

Thanks for that site link by the way. Bookmarked.

Re: No Man's Sky

There are definitively things on the Reddit list that are probably just a case of "in the game but not yet discovered," I agree, but those things weren't the key ingredients of that Reddit post, at least not for me.

There are actual aspects of the games core, how it runs, that seem to be not as advertised.

Bottom line is the game is what it is.

I know everyone's experience will vary but one thing I'm slightly concerned about is that I feel like past the 30 hour mark I've started to feel a lot less diversity and uniqueness from system to system. I am aware that different classes of star system will provide different generated results so maybe I just need to upgrade my warp drive so I can go to the blue and green systems. I hope that it's that simple as it would be a bummer if the 18 quintillion planets all stopped feeling unique after the first week.

Originally I had planned on writing a long rundown of my time with the game and my thoughts but honestly this games fanbase scares me. Not talking about this site, just in general. Looking around the net, it's crazy. Say something good about the game and the other sides fanatics come at you mercilessly, say aomething bad about the game and vice versa. I hate that. No game is above reproach. It's too bad there can't be more constructive talk from people on both sides meeting in the middle. One thing that has me puzzled is why are so many good standing and long established Reddit accounts being deleted after one of their posts, either positive or negative, gets popular? Are people being hacked, threatened? What's going on over there?

This game does some things SO well, and in some aspects might be the best ever at what it does. However there are other aspects of this game that really fall short or just straight up fall flat, for me personally, and I think it's fair to acknowledge both the good and the bad.

I don't regret the purchase, but I hope the game is improved by updates.

Re: No Man's Sky

It's simple. Some things they said would be there are in. Others aren't. Some things never mentioned are there and are a good surprise.

It's not a hype issue. Sean could've cleared so many things up and never did. And then he makes a small tweet about the multilayer portion of the game literally hours before the release.

Sean was a terrible person to be the main media man. That's all it is. He seems like a great guy, but he was bad PR.

So the game they advertised is actually in the game just as promised; it just hasn't been discovered yet? That's pretty incredible.

What are we talking about? Space portals? Planets revolving in hours/minutes? Enormous space battles?

Do you even have the game?

This is a nice post because a lot of people are complaining that portals are not a thing and don't work because HG closed off certain aspects of the game.

I still think most of the issues come from the no multi-player crowd and the "I don't get why this is exciting" crowd.

So to guys like killa, the reason why I don't care and don't have any animosity toward Murray is because I don't truly believe the true complainers are legitimately upset about some of the missing things mentioned in early press releases.

I think they chose to hate the game and prefer everyone else agrees with them. Because people.

And a lot of other people, mostly on twitter but a few here on OS, are followers. They hear the game is missing this or that, but they never really did the research or even looked at the game. They just want to say things like, "It's not worth $60" because it's the cool thing to do to appear knowledgeable about the happenings of the game.

Look, everyone said it would be a very polarizing game. Mission accomplished.
