I assume Sony paid a lil extra for the game to release a few days earlier on the PS4. Im happy and sad, i had the 9th and 10th off work so i was happy for the timing, but i guess this way we can read reviews before we buy it on Friday. | ||

then the player experiences a lot of disconnects with mechanics, at least from what they hoped for. anyway, the game will be beautiful no matter what. | ||

From my understanding it was just the way the certification processes lined up. They were working on a day one patch and it was going to make it through PS4 cert before PC patch would go through Steam. But I think you are right that the PS4 version is a priority for them. It is likely where they will have the most sales. | ||

Don't be a moron, don't pre-order a game which nobody has played yet. There's literally more games than we can play, which are cheaper, proven to be good, offer oodles of content, why do you have to spend the money on a new game before you have any idea about the quality? Anyway, is this like an MMO? Will you run into other players and is that optional? Could you conceivably play this offline? | ||

Cool concept, I really hope the game doesn't disappoint too much. | ||

Although in that announced day 1 patch theres now apparently a way of finding out if there were players in your recent vicinity (solar system, galaxy, idk.) but even then you'd have to locate a tiny ship in the void of space or land on a planet and find them there. AFAIK they strive for "real" sizes so a planet is pretty fuqqing big along with the rest The game isn’t really designed to be about meeting other people. Its about exploring and naming things. And the day one patch thing is interesting. Rami Ismail, game developer at large, wrote something about day one patches and why they are reality now: because of way games are submitted for certification on all platforms. http://ramiismail.com/2016/08/patch-the-process/ The last paragraph is pretty good: Developers care about the games they make, and we’re trying to make the best game we can for our players. We’ll take every opportunity we can get for that. If consoles operated like Steam did, No Man’s Sky wouldn’t have a Day 1 Patch, because the build you’d download and play when it comes out would’ve been submitted comfortably a few days before launch. Day 1 Patches aren’t necessarily a failure on the developers or the platforms side, they the result of people that care about what they make, trying to deliver the game the audience expects by the date they expect it, while everybody involved is struggling with outdated systems on cutting-edge technology. Everyone is trying their hardest. Nobody is doing anything wrong. The developer isn’t lazy. The platforms aren’t malicious. Day 1 patches are simply a patch to a submission system that’s old and convoluted. | ||

I've learned 150 words for a single alien race (at least 3 races, with own languages that we know of) and I'm lucky if I understand a quarter of what they are trying to say to me. That's just mindblowing to me how much they put into this. And it actually matters understanding what they are saying, they'll ask you questions and you have to answer; how you answer determines if you get loot or more reputation with them. There's also some cool math riddles you have to solve every once and awhile to get coordinates to various things/places. There's also a ton of lore behind the NPC races that you have to find for yourself essentially. I've pretty much figured out the Korvax, just trying to get some last details on some stuff before I feel comfortable giving a full rundown on their history up to now. | ||

Spent my entire 10hr+ play time in only 2 systems consisting of maybe 8 planets and 1 moon farming materials that sell well on the market so I can buy a pimped out ship and then I'm going to spam hyperjump for awhile towards the center and see where I end up. There's a lot you need to do survival wise to stay afloat. Lots of resource management to keep everything charged up and working. That'll probably turn a lot of people off to the game but the more you play the easier it gets by a TON. I've doubled my inventory on pretty much everything I own so I don't have to constantly worry about not being able to gather stuff.

I like what you have to say and am interested in playing the game on pc. I have to ask though do you see anything that you feel will keep you playing the game after you reach that goal, some sort of progression other than the same farming? I actually think I would like the farming and exploring. Anyone who has been playing can answer. I'm guessing if everyone is reaching the center eventually that is where everyone will meet up and then there could be additions to the game and some sort of multiplayer? otherwise whats the draw. I want to play this game, but I'm just not convinced yet. | ||

I want to play this game, but I'm just not convinced yet. My suggestion is to play the game without a goal in mind, I don't really have one. Just exploring, gathering, upgrading, and then staying on cool planets longer than boring/dangerous planets. All eventually moving towards the center of the universe. Who knows how long it's going to take me, who knows if that's even the end. Heard rumors of there being black holes and that warp you insanely far to other places. Basically just play the game to have fun and enjoy the ride and show off what you find and buy. If you have to ask yourself what's the point of playing this game, then I feel like this game isn't for you. It isn't going to keep your attention long enough without a super solid goal/end-game in mind for you to achieve. | ||
