Others are hating on the haters saying the game is still fun, accept any flaws and be happy. I'm not even sure what else they are expecting. But people arent even talking that much about the actual game. It's cluttered.
So, in other words, it's OS. :DQuote:

Pretty good article on Polygon...
No Man's Sky's greatest resource is isolation

Ouch! No Man's Sky has fallen into an abyss on Steam in recent weeks.

That isn't shocking to me. I never understood people saying they would play this game forever. Every game gets old and repetitive but this game always looked to have that issue. Maybe they add more stuff but it's hard to get people back once they leave. Does it really matter though financially for hello Games? Half of a games sales are in their first month. They did very well. If they don't sell anymore they still made good money I bet.
Hopefully Sean and his team have made enough money to buy an island and never have to make another game again. Because anything after No Man's Sky is going to have so much scrutiny that Sean Murry would just end up hiding under a table, sobbing.
The guy has not even posted on the NMS/His Main account in well over a month.

They are definitely in hiding lol.
My daughter played it for awhile. Same with my son. They probably put in around 15 hours each (maybe more). Now haven't touched it in a couple weeks. Not a horrible investment of time in the game. I wish it had more staying power but it doesn't right now.
So this game appears to be DOA? It's really sad as I was having a lot of fun then I went on vacation and haven't played since. Now, I don't have time to get back into it.
I couldn't believe how lame the ending of this game is after reading it. I won't spoil it but it's terrible.
FOUNDATION UPDATE INCOMING
Hello,
This week Hello Games will be releasing an update to No Man’s Sky. We’re calling it The Foundation Update, because we have added the foundations of base building, and also because this is putting in place a foundation for things to come.
Detailed patch notes will follow, and release will be soon.
Coming from five years of intense development, immediately after No Man’s Sky released the team spent six weeks updating the game with 7 patches across both platforms (the last of these was 1.09 on Sept 24th which you can read about here http://www.no-mans-sky.com/log/). These fixed many of the most common or critical bugs and issues post-release.
In the nine weeks since then our small team has been hard at work on development, testing and certification for the Foundation Update. It won’t be our biggest update, but it is the start of something.
The discussion around No Man’s Sky since release has been intense and dramatic. We have been quiet, but we are listening and focusing on improving the game that our team loves and feels so passionately about.
Positive or negative feedback, you have been heard and that will truly help to make this a better game for everyone.
This update will be the first small step in a longer journey. We hope you can join us.
Thank you,
Hello Games
Holy shit, they live!

I HATE how they always refer to themselves as a small team. It's that excuse making that drives me nuts. They didn't charge people a small price. They charged full price which leads to full expectations. Truth is if they offered the game at half price in the first place people could have accepted a lot of the short comings. But they didn't so suck it up.
Good news indeed. I played this game a few nights ago. I really want to get back into it.Quote:

Ditto, I played it quite a bit. Want to get back into it again.Quote:

1st impressions of the update?

I need to pick this up again. I had fun with it when I did play.
The problem is that I only turn my PS4 on for about 2-3 hours per week these days. I've been burnt out on gaming for about a year but it really became noticeable last Spring.
I'm trying to get into NHL 17 right now and I'm having fun when I force myself to play. Hopefully Friday the 13th will snap me out of my funk. I've never been so disinterested in gaming before and I have no idea why I am now.
I didn't even know it was out already. "Might" play some after work, but kinda in the mood to play Overwatch before MNF starts.Quote:

I haven't played enough to form an opinion but from what I have seen:Quote:

The biggest issue from what I have seen is that all of the planets and lifeforms have been reset. If you found them, the names still exist but all of the animal life forms and bases are gone.

I get worried about that age thing as well. Games just aren't original in many ways any more. We have been around so long there aren't a lot of unique games to hold our interest. We've seen almost everything. Step 1 for me was to get away from sports games years ago and get into other stuff. Trying different genres or even online can help. I've been through minor funks before and wonder if they will become more regular. Right now I'm still gaming. Tomb Raider is solid but I'm looking forward to For Honor the most in February.Quote:

They're back!
Too bad some of these upgrades weren't around Day 1. I can understand indie titles progressively adding stuff but a full priced AAA game should have been better. If they added coop play I would probably re buy the game for the kids. They play a lot with my nephews still in Minecraft and all kinds of games. Being able to explore planets together and build settlements would be a lot of fun for them. My kids probably played for 10-15 hours before getting bored and giving up on the game initially. The game has added a lot of nice content since we sold it.
I'm still keeping my eye on this. If I see it on sale in the $9.99 to $19.99 range, I'll consider picking it up now that these guys seem to be updating and improving it and adding to it.

Yeah, I've never been disappointed by games I've bought from them. I haven't had any issues with the discs or anything.Quote:

Now seems like a good time to jump into this game after the updates and additions it's had since release.

One thing that drives me crazy is how many of the planets get reset after each patch/update. I had an amazing planet that is now a dead planet. It was colourful and vibrant and now it's brown, toxic and mostly lifeless.

One year to the day... a new patch update.... ATLAS RISES. This looks pretty good actually.
