Anyone give No Man's Sky a second try?
I was so intrigued by the concept of the game when it released that I picked it up and actually enjoyed it for a while before its reptititivness began to really show. Traded it in as a result, and I never thought I'd revisit it, because to be honest I imagined that the company would have been entirely ruined by their failure, and the subsequent fallout.
Fast forward to now, and its it's nice to know Murray truly believed in his vision. The guy likely knew it was possible from early on, and he was committed to seeing it through. Same goes for those on the dev team who stuck it out as well.
Evidently though, he projected the development timeline poorly, and was so hyped by his own vision, that he was more interested in getting people to buy the concept he believed in before it came to fruition. The epitome of putting the cart before the horse, I guess.
But with everything that has been added, I'm tempted to have a go at it again, and on the marketplace right now its going for about 30 bucks.
So, anyone here giving it another go? Anyone actually stick with it this entire time? Thoughts?

Had it since launch and only put 30hrs into it. Tried it earlier with the VR update started a new game, and it has improved massively. It's as if the game was designed for VR. Totally immersed for 5 hrs, definitely be returning.

Yes I came back and it's so much better

Edited by TheArtist: 8/12/2019 11:47:57 AM1. Murray didn’t lie about the game. He made the mistake of talking about the game as a developer when gamers were hearing the game being marketed. Sony threw him and Hello Games under the bus and did nothing to control runaway community hype. 2. The game wasn’t ready for release. Their studio was flooded during development and they lots most of their work on the game. 3. The update on Wednesday, imo, will finally realize their vision for the game. Multiplayer will finally be fully developed. VR support for the entire game will be added (reviews are raving about VR). The graphic footage is [i]stunning [/i]These guys get so much respect from me in how they fought to make the game they envisioned when it would have been so easy to just take the money, and run and hide. 4. Is it worth it? Yes if you have understand what you’re buying. The community was partly to blame for what happened at launch. So many people came to the game with unrealistic expectations. They wanted EVE Online or Star Citizen (ROFL) and got mad when they didnt get an experience that no one promised them. No Man’s Sky is a survival game, and exploration game and a sandbox game (Minecraft in Space) rolled into one. Where you literally have an Universe sized sandbox to play in. If you looking for a game that is about human drama or gives you a tightly scripted experience? You’re going to be bored. But if you like games you can play creatively, and a game that will surprise (and frustrate) you in a thousand little ways? Yes it’s worth it. I think we’re getting the game they wanted to make on Wednesday but weren’t given the time needed.

Especially how stuff can be poorly rendered in when you fly your ship around a planet's landscape. Also, the game feels empty with its predictable random generation, confusingly massive size, and some present limitations."

I never played it but may now.

1 ReplyEdited by HollowedWayfarer: 8/13/2019 4:28:53 PMI tried to get back into it. I was turned off by it almost immediately because right when I first spawned in, another player found me and murdered me. Didn’t even have my ship repaired yet.

I got it awhile ago on Xbox, then bought it again on steam during the summer sale to mod it. this wednesday the game is getting the beyond up date, so it is worth checking out.
-
No mans sky became very good. It's worth checking out.
-
I gave it a second shot and I thought it was pretty good, even after the big update that they released. Though the fact that they continued to work on the game even after Sony abandoned them and everyone criticized the game for being a buggy mess, they still worked on the game and eventually made it a pretty good game imo.
-
I might redownload it. I made the incredible mistake of pre-ordering the collector's edition when it came out. It'd be really cool if my purchase was finally worth it
-
1 ReplyI own the game, disappointed isnt really the word that I felt about it. Tried giving it a 2nd chance but just couldnt really get into it. A problem I found with the game after the fixes is you could start on a planet and actually be stuck there cause of some resource you need isnt on the planet. Did a restart and just dod want to trove around a planet in the beginning just redource farming. I say give it a 2nd chance, you might like it. In my case, it wasnt exactly what I thought I wanted from the game. Havent played it since.

Played it at launch and once they did the big update. It's definitely better (not hard, but still.) More filled out, bases, freighters, more thought out resource pricing and amount. Still has the same problems, every planet after a while fits into one of their cookie cutter formats. You end up just doing the same shit over and over, fun for awhile but gets boring quickly. Worth a try if you like exploring and base building.
-
I need to re-download but yeah it was fun, it just took awhile
-
I’ll try it again when the new update goes live Wednesday
-
No Man’s Sky is a redemption story. It started out shit, now it’s a lot better. If only my Xbox wasn’t so shit in terms of frames I’d play the game more

He fell into the mindset that everybody falls into when they first start developing. Basically his timeline was too ambitious and burnt out before his vision for the game could be fully realised. But it still shows his aspiration, yet it is still a little flat after extended gameplay. If you’ll look at any forum for videogame mod support since the inception of player-developed mods (Doom, Unreal Tournament, Halo Custom Edition, etc.) There are aspiring content creators with a big vision that announce a huge project and don’t give themselves a realistic timeline to do such projects and they never get off the ground. Even teams as big and well-managed as CMT failed on their Halo 2 Custom edition project, despite the success of the Halo 1 SPv(x) projects. It’s a shame, because given the right conditions the potential to fully realise the dream is there, yet the patience often is lacking.

Didn't give it a first try, so can't really give it a second.
-
I kinda want to but honestly I don't think it's the game for me anymore.
-
I haven't played it since a month or so after the Next update, but it's gotten a hell of a lot better. The Beyond update looks pretty interesting as well. The game definitely benefits from the added multiplayer functionality.
-
I love it! They really have improved the game on a mind blowing level, also another HUGE update is coming in like a week. VR support and everything
-
3 RepliesHonestly I really want to dive back in, pretty much abandoned it at launch(hardly surprising) I am impressed that they have managed to keep working away and improving it. Alot of the stuff does seem great for multiplayer but I play pretty much solo so its not really geared for me I dont think.

2 RepliesEdited by Steel Assassin: 8/11/2019 11:20:30 PMI last played/bought it about a year ago but it wasn't bad. It kept my attention for a few weeks and I'd probably go to play more at some point.

I'm gonna

Edited by Uncanny_Vale: 8/11/2019 10:56:18 PMI never played it on release. I only picked it up earlier this year after the “Next” update. I couldn’t tell you how it compares to release but I enjoyed it a lot for a while. I loved the game initially but after about 20-30 hours fatigue set in and I lost interest. I keep meaning to go back to it but I realised I’ve forgotten everything. It’s like trying to learn everything from scratch again.
-
It’s good now after the big update
-
I’ve been playing it a little here and there, and it’s gotten better imo
