Yeah, I was totally bothered by his shoulders (seriously!). He looks totally stressed or something, like he needs to relax his muscles.... I don't have a problem with the hat/hair-combo or the 90's-style...
It's like putting a bandaid on a gash you received from his machete after he cut up Tommy Lee's hepatitis-infested ass, and Magic Johnson's HIV infested ass. Also, Amy Winehouse licked it before she died
00Mass00 if you want multiplayer you can always buy Elite Dangerous or buy your way into Star Citizen which is unfinished but in a far better state than NMS.
They said before the update, there was only about 500 players per day which could possibly be presumed dead. I believe Hello Games wouldn't just give up on something they've taken so long to work for. Even though its a bit broken, its still their first baby, and the first is always the most precious.
I hope they do keep bringing more updates. I am one of the few that actually liked the game. The price was too much, but I knew it was a gamble weather the game would be good or not. So now that there is this large of an update then I'll definitely be checking out out again.
Mikes vlogs I liked the game as well i just stopped playing when new titles came out. I hope this gets treated like minecraft(more construction items, Small towns on planets and/ large procedural cities, Surface bikes like destiny or other vehicles like Elite Dangerous. Carrying multiple weapons
Chevifier Yeah that's exactly what I thought. Played it for close to 30 or so hours and just ran out of things to do. Plus there were many other games that came out so I forgot about no man's sky. But I think this would have been much better received if it had dropped on steam for like 30.00 with a note that it's still in development. Plus there was way too much hype surrounding it.
will definatley go back i think, enjoyed the concept there just wasnt enough there, plus not having to go into every planet to even find out whether the element youre looking for is there is motivation enough for me
Have I been the only one who genuinely felt bad for Hello Games? All the problems they've created are from mistakes, not from bad intentions. And now that they're actually showing more effort towards completing the game I'm feeling even more sorry for them, but also kinda hopeful that there's a good ending to all this drama.
Robinson Lane this is exactly how I feel. their mistakes shouldn't be ignored however, but at least we are seeing them trying to rectify their mistakes. they are an indie studio after all, I just hope this lesson doesn't have to be learned again
yeah yeah, their mistakes will be forgotten when they release multiplayer. what's the point of this game if you can't share your experience with others? and not just through screen shots.
I think you need to stop bashing NMS and give Hello Games credit for continuing with updating and sticking around to improve the game as time goes on since many other game devs have cash grabbed and ran. Many devs out there don't care about their community. Payday for one example and many big titles that have been abandoned and left their loyal gamers in the dark. Better late than never. They could let it die in the dirt, but they aren't, so credit to them.
they could not because sony "optimized" the game for PS4 and crippled it, now when they have seen how bad idea was, they let the devs to release the original game thru updates...
Slightly Psychotic I'm on the same boat I think I'll wait it out for a couple more updates and see what they add to the game and this update was a good start but it's still not enough for my money
I already bought the game digitally and never got a refund so maybe I'll check it out. As long as they aren't charging for the update. That'd be some next level trolling
Too bad they couldn't of just waited 2-3months and released it in its more complete state. Then maybe they wouldn't of had so many returns and lost revenue. Oh and a permanent black mark on their resume. Maybe ill buy it for 10$ on sale. There is no shame is delaying a game until its ready. You only get one shot to release a good game. People forgive delays but not marketing lies about content. Ask Ubisoft...
Let's appreciate Hello Games for the update and stop bashing on them, they have had plenty of bashing! Let's give them a reason to update the game more and make No Mans Sky great again! (Like at E3) I knew that these updates were coming so i put my copy on hold until now! Keep up the good work Hello Games.
They're doing with No Man's Sky what I said they would probably do from the start. It's a platform for expansion. Does it excuse Sean Murray/Hello Games for what happened and how the launch was handled? No. But, it is a step in the right direction and helps me look forward to what they may have coming in the future.
did he make a good move by never responding? no was his excuse somewhat understandable? Yeah kind of is the game worth coming back to and worth your time? Yes, especially if they keep adding updates like this
Agent Orange people are mad because it's not what was promised, which is understandable. That being said I had fun with it for a solid 40hrs which is more than plenty of games tbh
All Hello Games has to do is shut up again for 6 months, make a huge update and present it at E3 2017 and say it is available for download FOR FREE THAT DAY. And boom they have a whole bunch of new & returning players back on board
Maybe people should stop pointing the finger at the tiny Hello games and get a spine and call out Sony as the main offenders here. Let's face it they would have forced Hello games to release it when "They" want it released. I bet HG wanted to wait till next year deep down.
The Boss of Sauce No, it wasn't. People wanted the multiplayer in the game to be something like an MMO where you could meet up and explore with friends and do whatever. It was stated MULTIPLE times that if you were expecting that, you would be disappointed. It was not being designed for multiplayer like that in mind.
naw it was stated once, that it was not a multiplayer the day before it was released. In comparison of all the times he said Yes, to seeing other players and playing with friends, even on the Colbert show.
It was never promised as "FULL FLEDGED" multiplayer. He said it was possible to see another player, but you likely wouldn't know they were. There wasn't supposed to be any actual interaction. No MMO chat mechanics or anything. That's what you people were expecting and it was NEVER promised. That is what I am saying. I can link you multiple different sources pre-launch that verify what I just said. Anyways, I want the multiplayer you're thinking about added. But I got the game knowing that it wasn't going to be a multiplayer game like that.
Oh cool, No Man's Sky is finally becoming even more like Starbound. Well except for the whole part where Starbound is cheaper, more content rich, andthe devs have much better communication with their community. Oh, and official mod support. Duh, almost forgot: STARBOUND HAS ACTUAL ONLINE MULTIPLAYER.
Ashtarte So true... Oh and the races and the lore is surprisingly interesting.... Can't wait for the No Mans Sky DLC where you fight the Roin! And the Cockculus cult! After Oirth is destroyed!
Seems true, the only downside is that it has a 2D pixel aesthetic. Which there is nothing wrong with! Unfortunately with the advancements of technology and what not, people usually dive for the HD near-realism/ realistically styled type aesthetic, as opposed to the classic pixel homages we've seen, as of late.
I liked it from the beginning - this update changes somethings which I had grown used to, but overall it's an amazing addition to something I already enjoyed.
i have the game and ive played the new update and heres what i have to say. please like so people can see. there are new modes that make the game more enjoyable, like creative, and survival and hardcore (heh minecraft) you can build some pretty bad ass bases with some time and creativity, but getting resources and travelling is still a massive grind and the repititivenes of the game is still there and is a huge pain in the ass, but this is definitly a good step in tbe direction of making no mans sky okay, to answer your questions, no its still not good, its okay i guess, if you have any doubts, dont buy it
I disagree with a lot of people on this one, I actually liked No Man's Sky since day one, being able to relax and explore and having been made by such a small team, I say well done Hello Games, well done.
Tapaleurre Extremely overpriced, considering Minecraft has more stuff to do and that only costs around £12. I paid £49.99 for No Man's Sky and glad to see that Hello Games are working to add and improve the game
I completely agree with you, I love to just explore and whatnot when I play it. Although I also agree with the people who were angry, they had a good reason to be. Hello Games made some big promises before the game came out, and those were obviously not live up to. I would be a little angry too if I was pinning my reason to buy the game on those big promises Hello Games made
I've been thinking about the whole "Why not just do early access?!" question. If Hello Games made a deal with Sony back when the game was in it's infancy, they would have been prevented from releasing the game under the Early Access model because of what it's like to release and even update games for consoles. They thought they were getting a great deal by working with Sony for marketing in exchange for a console release, but it ended up trapping them. Then when they hit the deadline, they had no choice but to release an unfinished game, with no hope of resorting to an early access release of even a kickstarter
Dude, that's a terrific theory. I've also heard that the reason Sean Murray basically lied to everyone too is that he was under a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and could only stick to saying things that he had previously said under the NDA. He would have been put under an NDA after Sony's involvement, so your theory actually accounts for so many things that have happened.
Ryan Kowalski but it's just a theory, there is no evidence for any of this what so ever so I prefer to take Murray at his word which turned out to be a load of bollocks.
The main issue with this is that neither Sony nor Hello Games had any communication with anyone in regards to the game's status. Had Hello Games been able to convince sony to either push the date, allow for a conference to discuss the game's position, and possibly told 100% of the truth in regards to where the game was at, this whole shitstorm could have been avoided. I find it REALLY hard to believe that Sony would have just said "I'm sure it'll be fine" if they were really aware of the actual status of the game. Either that, or their lack of interest in their partners is literally abominable.
they should have partnered with Xbox they are good with letting you release early access games and unfinished games. look at ARK it's still in the beta faze and Xbox is content to letting them work on it while people enjoy it. Microsoft is a big money company and they do tend to be hams at times but their games model is far more leaniant when it comes to devs then Sony. though i do like both consoles Microsoft is the better choice for early access games
Bradknightable I disagree. I don't think he intentionally lied. I think he got excited about his creation, talked up what he wanted, didn't have time to implement things, and when people got pissed, I think he felt the best thing was to shut up and continue to improve the game. Had people not jumped down his throat I don't think the silence happens. I'm not saying people shouldnt be upset, but the way the public went after him.... its a shame and I as much as I enjoyed the game when I came out, I got bored and havent played since. But I am a forgiving person and only say things to people on the internet that I would say to someone in person. Too many people are too quick to jump to conclusions...
Bradknighttable, the tweets that Sean Murray posted stated that they were working in silent on the updates and didn't want to say anything until they were 100% certain. They "disappeared" because they wanted to work on the next update as much as they can so that way they can have something to actually provide for the game.
yeah odd how everyone is talking about base building, and no one is bothering to talk much about the "survival mode" which is just like normal mode, only MUCH harder. Including space combat (so the game would have us believe. I've not even made it off a planet yet but only tried it this afternoon.)
I returned to No Man's Sky after almost three months. I have to admit that this Foundation update is good, hopefully Hello games is continuing on work with this game. It wasn't what it was promised to be when it was released but I can see No Man's Sky reaching that state and maybe even pushing a bit further. I'm willing to to give it a second chance.
Hyde Seems like after the game was allready delayed, Hello Games sort of paniced and released it even as they knew it was far from ready. Bad decicion... You are right, things would be much different if they had released game now as it is after this Foundation update. Now we can only see what kind of damage control Hello Games has. At least it seems like they are doing everything they can to save the game and fix the faults and missing parts. Time will tell if it's too late and how much extra damage this three month silence has done. Some gamers will return to the game but we'll see if it's enough.
i didn't see it to be a bad game, especially when you factor in that they literally invented a new way to build a game world, that in itself was an impressive accomplishment, so i bought the game and while it was fine there was obviously plenty to be desired in way of actual game play, specifically the lack of any goals whatsoever, so i played for a week or two because i really dig the art style and exploration of it all, but i knew that once you get to the center you simply spawn in a new galaxy to then do the same thing, and thus the entire game play loop was get warp cells, move farther, and restart. but now... i mean wow, really guys if you liked the concept but felt like the game was lacking you may want to give NMS another go round, the update quite literally adds a game where there was none. they changed so much i cant possibly type all of it, but some of it isnt even in the patch notes, like how the npc's you hire give you quests, which gives you something specific to do while working towards the greater goal of building up your mansion, hoarding goods, exploring your sector of space, creating a fast travel network and participating in massive space battles.. the graphics are markedly better, the crafting is far deeper, they changed the algorithms to provide cooler stuff to see... it goes on and on i cannot understate how massive this update really is in terms of how you play this game. i have been around as long as the video game industry and i can honestly say that i have never seen an update to a game that changed it this much, it really is incredible, HG did more work improving their game in the last 3 months than, the developers for CoD, and battlefield have in the last 10 years.
Daniel Epson lol this isnt minecraft son, it isnt simply procedurally generated. maybe you should look it up it really is quite interesting. they did something nobody has ever done and that is a fact.
I know enough to know it's procedural generation, but with a some logic in the mix so that things can be torn down and then replicated...and I wouldn't call that invention, more like innovation.
I still feel bad for Hello Games. The pressure from Sony and fans with preorders, to get a game out there is not something new. Sean Murray shouldn't be held to blame imo
I feel like if they knew they weren't going to step out the door with all the things they said, they shouldn't have gone to a big company like Sony (or if Sony went to them, should have been honest and turned them down). Of course Sony hung them out. Sony is a huge company with a reputation and they simply aren't going to stand behind that. From an indie game with no big support, people won't expect much. But Sony has a standard to live up to. Also, they should have just stayed in Alpha or told people they were using all that money to build upon the game so everyone wouldn't freak out and ditch them.
Jofferson Tiquez yeah they suffered a flood and later a delay with a ridiculous amount of death threat then Sony advertisements make it overhyped and forced them to release early and than distance themselves from them
Jonathan Raheb they decided to set a release date.....period. They knew they where no bringing to the table what they had shown. If they go belly up then they get what they deserve. Letting all of these developers and publishers off the hook for failing is what has gotten the gaming industry in the state it's in. They showcase something amazing then being one of it to the table and spend 90% of their time and money on advertising instead making a game that will sell itself.
I think sony pressured Hello Games to release the game before it was ready. If Hello Games worked on it for another 8 months or for another year, it would have been much better and more like what we where promised.
I think that it should be applauded that Hello Games are still working on it. I mean so many people forget that it was almost like the Division. The Division was practically broken on launch. But they shut up and made it better. Just like with No Mans Sky. They shut up and worked on the game to make it better.
Division was fine on launch. Maybe a few problems here and there, it wasnt a skeleton of a game like NMS was. The division got ruined when they listened to the whiny little kids coming from competitive fps shooters like csgo, saying "the reward system for going rogue in the dark zone should be more and the risk of going rogue should be a lot less" as just an excuse to go into the dark zone and be dicks, simply because they suck in their own fps games that they had to come vent out their frustration in a game like the division. A game where it was possible to make "friends" in the dark zone though always being cautious. Where now its just shoot on sight, rogue or not rogue. In the beginning people would ban together to take out a rogue player on the map. Now you go into the dark zone its just TDM with good loot... somewhere... which you would never get out anywhere because there are other players camping extraction points ready to KOS players that go there.
One of the more glaring issues The Division had was that if a player stopped in a doorway and went AFK, there was no way possible to get through the door. And the player in the door could stand there indefinitely.
I was playing some game when I saw a steam notification saying there was going to be an update, I had to stop what I was doing because I didn't believe it.
Spoiled? You realize people payed $60 for a game that hardly resembles a finished product, right? If you think people are spoiled for complaining about a product they payed good money for that didn't deliver, I can only imagine you're spoiled enough to where you don't have to spend your hard earned money on games. :/
The problem is they promised more than they could deliver at least in the time allotted. I could understand if they just made these promises several months before release, but as it got closer to release, they should have told people that features would be delayed or release it LATER. By itself, the game is okay, definitely not worth 60$, but would be a fine indie game for at most 40$.
The game has so much potential that I think it would be easy to forgive Hello Games and especially Sean for the mistakes that were made. I never tried to get a refund on NMS only hoping they would not just abandon their game, and it payed off. They did a good thing by trying to fix it.
unfortunately with the way game launches work, it is nigh impossible to restore the community interest after such a disastrous fan reception. The concurrent player numbers alone are astounding.... from 200,000+ at launch to a low of 500, back up to only 5,000 concurrent players on PC. It truly is a historic failure and while I do kind of feel sorry for them, they have to live with their mistakes like the rest of us.
josh mack Agreed. That also means that if they can find a way to atone for their mistake then we should welcome that. f they cant then oh well. They did bring it on themselves
What?! I can now put a series of models together to form a base on my favorite planet?! I dunno how I'm going to accommodate or defend it from the NPC's with their insanely good AI.
Man, i can not wait for the next update. They are improving the game a lot, it already looks so much better and the base building and survival mode is a lot of fun imo. I hope some day there will be multiplayer.
they'll tell you it's about the journey and not the destination. except, their game isn't anywhere close to as impressive as the actual game called 'journey' that did this well.
that's the thing though, it's been proven that they did but they didn't patch it up enough to work properly on release. The evidence comes from the one guy whose PSN id is StiiKzZ who is the only person who got marked as discovering the centre of the universe despite the fact that loads of people did this before him, and the reason he's the only one who got marked is because he discovered it in the vanilla version of the game. He claims that the only thing actually in the centre of the universe is another Star System which leads me to think that they probably had something planned to happen there before warping you off to another galaxy, ok so maybe "proven" is me being a little too hopeful but it does make you wonder, why put a star system in the centre if you don't want it to get discovered?
***** It's better than playing singleplayer in a huge universe without any real objectives..I mean Minecraft has Objectives that keeps the player moving, and has Multiplayer for faction wars, for base building, community making, trade and etc.. No Man's Sky as it is.. Is still boring as hell..
you do realize that multiplayer is essentially...more than 1 player. Even if it's not an MMO standard, playing with friends is important for a game that marketed it since the beginning.
What still excites me about Hello Games is their passion for the game; it shows in every trailer they release. I will most likely return to this game and be amazed, as I was the first time I booted it up. Sure, it had it's let downs but it was still fun and exciting to play at the start.
I'd imagine it is something they are looking into heavily.. GIven the outcry and it being one of the main points. But right now filing up the blank slate that they launched is much welcomed.
Jon, you're just bashing them with hate. I get the feeling that if No Mans Sky does eventually become a good game you'd still hate it. Lots of games have done this: Crapy launch, updates, good game. I agree the launch was awful but Hello Games are clearly trying to fix it.
Did you get his jab at the writers though? "You guys are terrible." I'm pretty sure they just needed someone to poke and bash the game for the news script and Jon got that role.
ok I know I'm in the minority here but I love that game. (maybe because I never heard the hype and bought the game because it seemed awesome) and I love it as it was and even more with the new content:3
games not bad, i stayed updated as they made the game and the exceptions i had were too large compared to the end result, still i like the game but i waisted too much time playing minecraft and farming materials when i was younger so no mans sky tended to be quiet boreing and slow after awile, hopefully this update will give me more objectives to pick up again.
I'm not at all upset with who you guys choose to advertise in your vids, but I find it funny how it seems like you're looking for ads that have as little to do with video games as possible. You guys are great by the way. :)
That's actually intentional. We don't really do sponsorships from games or game companies because we want to be free to critique or praise without worrying if it will get us blacklisted and hurt our ability to keep making content. Instead, we do sponsorships with non-endemic brands and products we think our community might have an interest instead.
Cheaper, maybe. It's still worse than getting a white-hot fireplace poker shoved up your ass, while being forced to listen to a "Lil Wayne greatest hits" compilation. Which is exactly where the game was at launch lol
I didn't want No Man Sky When it was in hype, I didn't really like just exploring, and what the story was, but i knew many did, so seeing them depressed isn't good for me, though I am really happy that No Man's Sky is updating and is still trying. So while I no many will still hate them but I'm rooting for them. Keep the game going Hello Games!
The sarcasm is strong in these two. What everyone has failed to admit to themselves is that Hello Games is a really tiny indie game developer company that has manage to make a game with minimal resources that would blow big developers minds, like EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo etc. Relative to the size of the team this game is a masterpiece. Just imagine if Sean Murray had a developer team as big as Assassin's Creed. Then this game would be mind blowing. The facts stands though that they don't have the same resources and manpower as the big developers so it will take time to polish this piece of rock into a diamond. I still have as big hopes for this game as I had when it was first announced. It will however not get better if we drive each and everyone of the dev's for the NMS into their graves.
I don't think Murray or Hello Games had bad intentions but when it comes right down to it they lied about features and kept false images up on their store page for over a month. The latter really showing how little they cared about honesty or their customers. Murray's overpromising may not technically qualify as lies for the most part (though some of it certainly was [multiplayer]), as he did hedge a lot, but he should still issue a tearful apology and change his last name to Murrayneux. And I will never believe anything that comes out of his mouth again. In addition, calling the release version of No Man's Sky a beta is quite generous, as betas are more or less feature complete. That was an alpha.
i originally was going to get the game up until i heard about the issue. i will keep track of the games progress, and with a couple of updates i might buy the game, but they will need to earn my money.
I like that "The Know"'s ads are just quick shout-outs at the beginning of the video. I have respect for the companies who do this instead of long and boring ads that we have to sit through. I also think it's more effective coming from people we like to listen to. Keep it up, Ashley and co, I'm a fan.
Fix the combat/fix the primary objective/give us more distractions besides resource gathering and make us feel less alone in this game(more useful NPC's) just add these fixes and I will happily return with renewed expectations!
I'd say get it if you can get it on sale but don't buy it full price. I generally think it's not a good idea to get any game full price unless it's something you really want. The price always drops.
NO! Rockstar makes good games. They should never tarnish their fame with this failure of a game. If they want to make a Grand Theft Spaceships game, they'll do it on their own.
Literally all they need to do to make this game enjoyable is to allow players to join parties. problem solved. no need for a giant multilayer experience. just let people play with a couple friends..
Bad press for this game started before anyone could have feasibly gotten near the centre... so what I read from that is that gamers are quick to judge nowadays. The best 'moment' in the game was filling up and getting 'warping' once everything was upgraded. I never had a problem with this game, or the perceived 'deception,' I was always pretty sure of what I'd get (not much), and was just interested in the algorithm, really. I'm 33 years old now and have been gaming since my first SEGA Master System...games enchant me. I think basically the modern gamer is someone who has grown up with devices around the whole time, therefore they end up with this entitled, whining behavior when things aren't as good as they thought. The sense of wonder is gone from this generation.
I have to agree. Even though I'm a bit young (21) I don't really set standards high nor do I hype games at all. I go into games for fun, and to help relieve stress. Not to mention the hype for No Man's Sky reached unbelievably high levels, it was so hyped that even if it was exactly as the trailer implied, it wouldn't have fared any better. No game could possibly have met the hype No Man's Sky had. The game's fine, and it was even fine before the Foundation Update, the problem lies with people letting themselves get hyped up.
Siegfried Grant exactly what I thought and I'm late 30, what awe me is the fact that you can explore any planets you landed, some barren and some absolutely gorgeous even it's generated by procedural.
Yeah Iwe, I found it fascinating kinda on a mathematical level...I'm terrible at maths but now I see how it can populate an entire universe so easily, full of variety... Soz Kal, I shouldn't have turned it into an 'age rant' old man thing, but my observation is that we were so enchanted. I used to look at 2D sprites and now I just think graphics are unbelievable, too. It sounds cantankerous but young, modern gamers don't really know how lucky they are...
You have to acknowledge how all of the fans and Sony were pretty much forcing this small Indy team to send out the game as soon as possible in other words unfinished.
I've always been curious of no man sky but I will only buy it once. I decide it is worth the price until then I will continue to keep a eye on it. Like I have been for the past 3 years. I may get it sooner if the price drops to a more reasonable amount. Nothing wrong with charging 60 bucks as long as it has 60 bucks worth of content.
I just bought the game on steam for 40$. I wasn't going to buy it at 60$, but 40 seems fair if they continue to add stuff to the game for free. Now we need really hostile giant creatures that spit fire/acid/etc, enemy aliens with bases on planets and space, more varied terrain + plants, ability to pilot your freighter and outfit it with weapons, and randomized bounty quests. If they do all of that, I think people will feel differently about the game.
These presenters are horribly annoying. But No Man's Sky is great now. Although I have noticed you seem to always start on a baron toxic planet in Survival mode. I've had to restart twice because it was impossible to get any further because I kept dying before I could find resources, and both times I re-spawned on a toxic planet.
Well at least Hello game's are actually trying now I have countless ubisoft game's that are still broken and EA's FIFA has been a broken mess with no effort to fix it for year's now, why doesn't this channel be this negative towards those companies?
Hello Games shouldn't call these 'updates', they are not adding anything new to the game. These 'new features' were supposed to be in the game at launch, and should be labeled as 'patches' or 'fixes' instead.
IMO the updates are ok, but they changed up which elements charge which items. Now you need exosuit gloves and a "refined mining laser" to mine some elements which I have yet to find. Also... where are you supposed to get glass for building?? I have yet to see that as well.
Zadamanim let's wait a little while to see if they can make the game better remember this game is like only 4 months old give it a chance maybe three years from now it will be the best game ever to come out or not.
Zackary Smith That's ambitious... Why would they bother supporting a game with no players? I can only see this update as saving face for their next game. I've seen MMO's shut down completely with way more going for them than NMS, though I guess the lack of multiplayer might ironically be a saving grace for it.
Exactly my thoughts but nah, I'm still not gonna give Happy Games any money in the future. They're on the same page as EA, Ubisoft and Peter Molyneux for me.
Even if they added everything they promised i still think this would be a boring game. Just with more eye candy. I don't even think Multiplayer would be necessary as that still wouldn't change the game into something fun. It wouldn't change how we play it. Having a friend next to you and exchanging control can be plenty of fun already.
land vehicles would be so great, it would be tons of fun driving around finding jumps. Also they need to add tiny submarines so you could move underwater faster
Alfred Haley I agree. If you somehow avoided all the hype and lies like I did you found a fun little game. Perhaps not worth $60 at launch but now we get a kickass update. And if hello games can continue this with more content every 2 months or so I'll be a happy camper. Glad I didn't try for a refund.
Too late Hello Games. Nothing excuses false advertisement. Seriously, handmade "generated" planet and prerecorded "live" gameplay at a presentation? Liars they be and are not worth anyone's time or money. Condolences to all who couldn't get a refund.
You guys are gonna want to keep an eye on this one over the next year. Hear me out. Being someone who followed this game for 2 years before release, I think Hello Games really wanted to make a good game, and this update is proof of that. Even though I honestly enjoyed it at first, I really was disappointed with the release, and by November only played it biweekly, and for an hour or two, max. Then the update: crap, it felt like the excitement of launch-day again! My first play session I never even got to the base building (and I still don't own a freighter) but I actually really enjoyed playing. The tweaks on the planet generation made a HUGE impact, planets are actually interesting to look at now, and feel more unique. The same can be said about the animals on said planets. Overall, it really improved the game. More will be needed obviously, but as they said, this is a "foundation for things to come" (ground vehicles found in game files, so that can be expected soon). So besides the content we've seen, they've been overhauling things so they can add more. So it may still not look like much, but give it time and a chance, because it looks like they're busy adding to it. No, I am not Sean Murray lol.
does it bother to anyone else that he's shoulders have a 90° angle with his neck?
That's what happens when you don't have a physically strenuous job or workout regularly lol.
Still better than Gus the Troblin...
Yeah, I was totally bothered by his shoulders (seriously!). He looks totally stressed or something, like he needs to relax his muscles.... I don't have a problem with the hat/hair-combo or the 90's-style...
what troubles me is that his hair looks like giant hairy balls dongling behind his head
Luka Seidl What is seen can't be unseen
This is like putting a bandaid to a gash that you received after getting slashed by Jason's machete.
King Steve that's a perfect comparison. hopefully they find a lot more bandaids
Sounds about right.
King Steve what about my machete?
It's like putting a bandaid on a gash you received from his machete after he cut up Tommy Lee's hepatitis-infested ass, and Magic Johnson's HIV infested ass.
Also, Amy Winehouse licked it before she died
and that bandaid is hello kitty themed.
Real thing they should do with no mans sky, add mod support because the players could do a hell of a lot more with the game than Hello Games could.
there are lot of mods already...
True! but it's still no multiplayer so mweh maybe I'll update and play for an hour and be bored again...
00Mass00
if you want multiplayer you can always buy Elite Dangerous or buy your way into Star Citizen which is unfinished but in a far better state than NMS.
And a far different game
Armontek Gaming
buy them an Ubisoft staff oppressing whip so they meet deadlines
Let's just give them another chance. It may pay off if they keep making big updates like this.
Nojatha and updates only happen when there is server activity. No activity, game is assumed dead
They said before the update, there was only about 500 players per day which could possibly be presumed dead. I believe Hello Games wouldn't just give up on something they've taken so long to work for. Even though its a bit broken, its still their first baby, and the first is always the most precious.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
TheGodOfSmallThings Indeed, that's why I find it best to cotinuw waiting it out if you are still interested in it
if they just ad multiplayer, then maby I will try it again.
in other words, they should have sold the game before this point, as "early access".
Mr Jay White game was fine don't take these two at face value
+gbdeck200 You think the game was fine at launch? They outright lied well they safely lied by making empty promises the game was barebones.
Fariko Wishless it's sonys fault for rushing them to release it
if they add early access into the game, no one would think they lie, and less haters
hmm you are so right
I hope they do keep bringing more updates. I am one of the few that actually liked the game. The price was too much, but I knew it was a gamble weather the game would be good or not. So now that there is this large of an update then I'll definitely be checking out out again.
Mikes vlogs I liked the game as well i just stopped playing when new titles came out. I hope this gets treated like minecraft(more construction items, Small towns on planets and/ large procedural cities, Surface bikes like destiny or other vehicles like Elite Dangerous. Carrying multiple weapons
Chevifier Yeah that's exactly what I thought. Played it for close to 30 or so hours and just ran out of things to do. Plus there were many other games that came out so I forgot about no man's sky. But I think this would have been much better received if it had dropped on steam for like 30.00 with a note that it's still in development. Plus there was way too much hype surrounding it.
same
will definatley go back i think, enjoyed the concept there just wasnt enough there, plus not having to go into every planet to even find out whether the element youre looking for is there is motivation enough for me
Whether******
Have I been the only one who genuinely felt bad for Hello Games? All the problems they've created are from mistakes, not from bad intentions. And now that they're actually showing more effort towards completing the game I'm feeling even more sorry for them, but also kinda hopeful that there's a good ending to all this drama.
Robinson Lane Plenty of people feel bad for them including myself.
Robinson Lane this is exactly how I feel. their mistakes shouldn't be ignored however, but at least we are seeing them trying to rectify their mistakes. they are an indie studio after all, I just hope this lesson doesn't have to be learned again
Same, it must've been hell for them this past four(ish) months.
If they really wanted money why the hell would they keep updating it?
yeah yeah, their mistakes will be forgotten when they release multiplayer. what's the point of this game if you can't share your experience with others? and not just through screen shots.
I think you need to stop bashing NMS and give Hello Games credit for continuing with updating and sticking around to improve the game as time goes on since many other game devs have cash grabbed and ran. Many devs out there don't care about their community. Payday for one example and many big titles that have been abandoned and left their loyal gamers in the dark.
Better late than never. They could let it die in the dirt, but they aren't, so credit to them.
With this kind of logic, we're encouraging other developers to lie, delay, misrepresent their product, ultimately ruining game industry.
Don Beleef they said that in the video
Maybe they should focus on putting in what they promised us on release instead of adding bells and whistles?
Hugh Janus "Foundation Update"
they could not because sony "optimized" the game for PS4 and crippled it, now when they have seen how bad idea was, they let the devs to release the original game thru updates...
Hugh Janus wassup
Hugh Janus well Sony really forced them to release so they will
Hugh Janus it was promised on launch, they are just getting around to it now.
I may actually get this game if they deliver on all of their promises in these updates.
Keyword ALL
Slightly Psychotic I'm on the same boat I think I'll wait it out for a couple more updates and see what they add to the game and this update was a good start but it's still not enough for my money
I already bought the game digitally and never got a refund so maybe I'll check it out. As long as they aren't charging for the update. That'd be some next level trolling
I bought it used for ps4 and returned it a week later. I suggest doing that if you want to try it out that is if you're not on pc.
You can do this on pc
I can confirm the game is far better. I'm playing it right now.
from 0/10 to a whopping 0/10
I really disagree with the whopping 0/10 lol
well i'm jumping back in then!
Nice try Sean murray but I won't take the b8
Too bad they couldn't of just waited 2-3months and released it in its more complete state. Then maybe they wouldn't of had so many returns and lost revenue. Oh and a permanent black mark on their resume. Maybe ill buy it for 10$ on sale.
There is no shame is delaying a game until its ready. You only get one shot to release a good game. People forgive delays but not marketing lies about content. Ask Ubisoft...
Let's appreciate Hello Games for the update and stop bashing on them, they have had plenty of bashing! Let's give them a reason to update the game more and make No Mans Sky great again! (Like at E3) I knew that these updates were coming so i put my copy on hold until now! Keep up the good work Hello Games.
i agree
Edvard Bolaas stfu
the game was never great in the first place
Clash Of Clans Master gtfo
BobTheSpartan7 At e3 it was great.
They're doing with No Man's Sky what I said they would probably do from the start. It's a platform for expansion. Does it excuse Sean Murray/Hello Games for what happened and how the launch was handled? No. But, it is a step in the right direction and helps me look forward to what they may have coming in the future.
Nice meme bro
RegrettableDeed youre right
If they're going to do multiplayer, ground and space combat will have to be changed drastically. I have a funny feeling that will happen eventually.
did he make a good move by never responding? no
was his excuse somewhat understandable? Yeah kind of
is the game worth coming back to and worth your time?
Yes, especially if they keep adding updates like this
torrents literally solve any problem in the money department
all they need to add is more alien wild life variety including special traits for each creature, more alien races, multiplayer, and factions
Kittyhawk Mew i'm happy with the updates. their big free. if they added piracy and wars they would be golden
moony9013 completely agree. personally I'm hoping they fix (or add) some kind of multiplayer, would be nice to build a base with friends or strangers
Why the hell is this game still full price?
You can get it for like 20 dollars on amazon right now, so maybe not everywhere.
Agent Orange cause it's good
That's not what a lot of people say lol
gbdeck200 I will quote trump. "Wrong"
Agent Orange people are mad because it's not what was promised, which is understandable. That being said I had fun with it for a solid 40hrs which is more than plenty of games tbh
It's good now.
trust me.
lol
i just cant trust the bearded man anymore ;~;
it was 60$ man.
So you're admitting it wasn't good before.
Checkmate.
For once.
I feel like i can trust you.
Sean Murray a
multi player?
not THAT good
Cheers The Know lmao
wrecked
The Know i mean that was a quick response.......
The chances of encountering a multiplayer are really, really small. . .
ì still play this game no matter how it was marketed I love it -Shaun murry
jk I do like this game regardless of the hate people throw at it
There was no point in saying "jk" if you were gonna basically say the same thing twice...
nice pfp buddy ;)
All Hello Games has to do is shut up again for 6 months, make a huge update and present it at E3 2017 and say it is available for download FOR FREE THAT DAY. And boom they have a whole bunch of new & returning players back on board
Good idea. That would also win over a lot of people and engender more player trust.
Brenda Sinclair Well.. if they made it free... microtransactions WILL be added it at some point, and we all know how much everyone loves those...
and boom the ones that paid $60 still want their $60 back
Brenda Sinclair or they should have released it in 2017
Maybe people should stop pointing the finger at the tiny Hello games and get a spine and call out Sony as the main offenders here. Let's face it they would have forced Hello games to release it when "They" want it released. I bet HG wanted to wait till next year deep down.
Mogsey Morgan if sony is rushing companies then why is kingdom hearts 3 not out yet?
Square Enix are not a small indie developer like HG are and aren't easily pushed about.
probably because they make good games.
Tsuner too That was hands down the most ignorant comment I've ever seen.
Dave m Pretty much why i simply couldn't be bothered to reply to it.
call me when theres multiplayer, until then, ill stick with space engineers, where i can also build a base and frieghter
It was never meant to be a multiplayer game in the way you're thinking of. I'd love to see full blown multiplayer in it, but that was never promised.
TheRealYoshihito it was most certainly implied
The Boss of Sauce No, it wasn't. People wanted the multiplayer in the game to be something like an MMO where you could meet up and explore with friends and do whatever. It was stated MULTIPLE times that if you were expecting that, you would be disappointed. It was not being designed for multiplayer like that in mind.
naw it was stated once, that it was not a multiplayer the day before it was released. In comparison of all the times he said Yes, to seeing other players and playing with friends, even on the Colbert show.
It was never promised as "FULL FLEDGED" multiplayer. He said it was possible to see another player, but you likely wouldn't know they were. There wasn't supposed to be any actual interaction. No MMO chat mechanics or anything. That's what you people were expecting and it was NEVER promised. That is what I am saying. I can link you multiple different sources pre-launch that verify what I just said.
Anyways, I want the multiplayer you're thinking about added. But I got the game knowing that it wasn't going to be a multiplayer game like that.
Oh cool, No Man's Sky is finally becoming even more like Starbound. Well except for the whole part where Starbound is cheaper, more content rich, andthe devs have much better communication with their community. Oh, and official mod support. Duh, almost forgot: STARBOUND HAS ACTUAL ONLINE MULTIPLAYER.
Your literally compering apples to planks of wood.
Ashtarte So true... Oh and the races and the lore is surprisingly interesting.... Can't wait for the No Mans Sky DLC where you fight the Roin! And the Cockculus cult! After Oirth is destroyed!
Seems true, the only downside is that it has a 2D pixel aesthetic. Which there is nothing wrong with! Unfortunately with the advancements of technology and what not, people usually dive for the HD near-realism/ realistically styled type aesthetic, as opposed to the classic pixel homages we've seen, as of late.
You're comparing a stick (NMS), to a sharpened, pristine, sword (Starbound).
+Magiktcup
No. He is comparing apples to shittier apples. The shittier ones being NMS.
Im so glad I kept No Mans Sky because I really like this game and dont care what anyone thinks its still a decent game
Alex Nelson well kinda I guess... I wish I could gotten madden instead during that time
your moms a decent game. 😐
I agree. It's a good game, just needs content.
Alex Nelson If it wasn't $60 I would 100% agree with you but I 98% agree with you.
I liked it from the beginning - this update changes somethings which I had grown used to, but overall it's an amazing addition to something I already enjoyed.
i have the game and ive played the new update and heres what i have to say. please like so people can see. there are new modes that make the game more enjoyable, like creative, and survival and hardcore (heh minecraft) you can build some pretty bad ass bases with some time and creativity, but getting resources and travelling is still a massive grind and the repititivenes of the game is still there and is a huge pain in the ass, but this is definitly a good step in tbe direction of making no mans sky okay, to answer your questions, no its still not good, its okay i guess, if you have any doubts, dont buy it
also the framedrops still exist and are still absolutely god awful
yes exactly, the update maybe good. but it's still not worth 60 dollars
Bryan Southard thanks this helped
I disagree with a lot of people on this one, I actually liked No Man's Sky since day one, being able to relax and explore and having been made by such a small team, I say well done Hello Games, well done.
Agreed well done. Even more well done now lol
Steelman2906 100% agree
Steelman2906 I was pissed with what we got. But they added so much in just a few months, imagine what we'll be getting throughout next year
Tapaleurre Extremely overpriced, considering Minecraft has more stuff to do and that only costs around £12. I paid £49.99 for No Man's Sky and glad to see that Hello Games are working to add and improve the game
I completely agree with you, I love to just explore and whatnot when I play it. Although I also agree with the people who were angry, they had a good reason to be. Hello Games made some big promises before the game came out, and those were obviously not live up to. I would be a little angry too if I was pinning my reason to buy the game on those big promises Hello Games made
I've been thinking about the whole "Why not just do early access?!" question.
If Hello Games made a deal with Sony back when the game was in it's infancy, they would have been prevented from releasing the game under the Early Access model because of what it's like to release and even update games for consoles. They thought they were getting a great deal by working with Sony for marketing in exchange for a console release, but it ended up trapping them.
Then when they hit the deadline, they had no choice but to release an unfinished game, with no hope of resorting to an early access release of even a kickstarter
Dude, that's a terrific theory. I've also heard that the reason Sean Murray basically lied to everyone too is that he was under a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and could only stick to saying things that he had previously said under the NDA. He would have been put under an NDA after Sony's involvement, so your theory actually accounts for so many things that have happened.
Ryan Kowalski but it's just a theory, there is no evidence for any of this what so ever so I prefer to take Murray at his word which turned out to be a load of bollocks.
The main issue with this is that neither Sony nor Hello Games had any communication with anyone in regards to the game's status. Had Hello Games been able to convince sony to either push the date, allow for a conference to discuss the game's position, and possibly told 100% of the truth in regards to where the game was at, this whole shitstorm could have been avoided. I find it REALLY hard to believe that Sony would have just said "I'm sure it'll be fine" if they were really aware of the actual status of the game. Either that, or their lack of interest in their partners is literally abominable.
they should have partnered with Xbox they are good with letting you release early access games and unfinished games. look at ARK it's still in the beta faze and Xbox is content to letting them work on it while people enjoy it. Microsoft is a big money company and they do tend to be hams at times but their games model is far more leaniant when it comes to devs then Sony. though i do like both consoles Microsoft is the better choice for early access games
All this hate. As if no one else has ever messed up ever. I don't think Murray maliciously screwed anyone over.
Skin Bear it's not that it that he lied through his teeth about the game then took off and disappeared after release
Bradknightable I disagree. I don't think he intentionally lied. I think he got excited about his creation, talked up what he wanted, didn't have time to implement things, and when people got pissed, I think he felt the best thing was to shut up and continue to improve the game.
Had people not jumped down his throat I don't think the silence happens.
I'm not saying people shouldnt be upset, but the way the public went after him.... its a shame and I as much as I enjoyed the game when I came out, I got bored and havent played since. But I am a forgiving person and only say things to people on the internet that I would say to someone in person.
Too many people are too quick to jump to conclusions...
Bradknighttable, the tweets that Sean Murray posted stated that they were working in silent on the updates and didn't want to say anything until they were 100% certain. They "disappeared" because they wanted to work on the next update as much as they can so that way they can have something to actually provide for the game.
180 million dollars was the revenue ...
Frank Zucker and your point?
now add decent space combat and we are good to go
yeah odd how everyone is talking about base building, and no one is bothering to talk much about the "survival mode" which is just like normal mode, only MUCH harder. Including space combat (so the game would have us believe. I've not even made it off a planet yet but only tried it this afternoon.)
Tarek Chamas no create servers for the game
I returned to No Man's Sky after almost three months. I have to admit that this Foundation update is good, hopefully Hello games is continuing on work with this game. It wasn't what it was promised to be when it was released but I can see No Man's Sky reaching that state and maybe even pushing a bit further. I'm willing to to give it a second chance.
Hammurab I just feel like if they delayed the game for a solid 6-9 months much would be different.
Hyde Seems like after the game was allready delayed, Hello Games sort of paniced and released it even as they knew it was far from ready. Bad decicion... You are right, things would be much different if they had released game now as it is after this Foundation update.
Now we can only see what kind of damage control Hello Games has. At least it seems like they are doing everything they can to save the game and fix the faults and missing parts. Time will tell if it's too late and how much extra damage this three month silence has done. Some gamers will return to the game but we'll see if it's enough.
Hyde No way Sony would let them delay the game for that long after already extending the deadline twice
i didn't see it to be a bad game, especially when you factor in that they literally invented a new way to build a game world, that in itself was an impressive accomplishment, so i bought the game and while it was fine there was obviously plenty to be desired in way of actual game play, specifically the lack of any goals whatsoever, so i played for a week or two because i really dig the art style and exploration of it all, but i knew that once you get to the center you simply spawn in a new galaxy to then do the same thing, and thus the entire game play loop was get warp cells, move farther, and restart.
but now... i mean wow, really guys if you liked the concept but felt like the game was lacking you may want to give NMS another go round, the update quite literally adds a game where there was none. they changed so much i cant possibly type all of it, but some of it isnt even in the patch notes, like how the npc's you hire give you quests, which gives you something specific to do while working towards the greater goal of building up your mansion, hoarding goods, exploring your sector of space, creating a fast travel network and participating in massive space battles.. the graphics are markedly better, the crafting is far deeper, they changed the algorithms to provide cooler stuff to see... it goes on and on i cannot understate how massive this update really is in terms of how you play this game. i have been around as long as the video game industry and i can honestly say that i have never seen an update to a game that changed it this much, it really is incredible, HG did more work improving their game in the last 3 months than, the developers for CoD, and battlefield have in the last 10 years.
DeuceDrop they didn't invent procedural generation. been used in games since the 80s.
Daniel Epson lol this isnt minecraft son, it isnt simply procedurally generated. maybe you should look it up it really is quite interesting. they did something nobody has ever done and that is a fact.
I know enough to know it's procedural generation, but with a some logic in the mix so that things can be torn down and then replicated...and I wouldn't call that invention, more like innovation.
Daniel Epson a lot of people confuse those two things.
Starmade... neff said.
I still feel bad for Hello Games. The pressure from Sony and fans with preorders, to get a game out there is not something new. Sean Murray shouldn't be held to blame imo
I feel like if they knew they weren't going to step out the door with all the things they said, they shouldn't have gone to a big company like Sony (or if Sony went to them, should have been honest and turned them down). Of course Sony hung them out. Sony is a huge company with a reputation and they simply aren't going to stand behind that. From an indie game with no big support, people won't expect much. But Sony has a standard to live up to.
Also, they should have just stayed in Alpha or told people they were using all that money to build upon the game so everyone wouldn't freak out and ditch them.
Same. Just let them make up for their mistake, at least your money will have what it's worth. Hopefully.
Jofferson Tiquez yeah they suffered a flood and later a delay with a ridiculous amount of death threat then Sony advertisements make it overhyped and forced them to release early and than distance themselves from them
Jonathan Raheb they decided to set a release date.....period. They knew they where no bringing to the table what they had shown. If they go belly up then they get what they deserve. Letting all of these developers and publishers off the hook for failing is what has gotten the gaming industry in the state it's in. They showcase something amazing then being one of it to the table and spend 90% of their time and money on advertising instead making a game that will sell itself.
internet historian helped fix that!
"What's No Man's Sky's player count?"
"IT'S OVER 8,000!"
Give it a week.. gonna be back down to 500 players again.
@Wasser Tropfal Oh so there's only five players?
Swagapotato and apparently a .852 of another player.
first name last name liking the original manga power scale reference. Most people would say 9000
I think sony pressured Hello Games to release the game before it was ready. If Hello Games worked on it for another 8 months or for another year, it would have been much better and more like what we where promised.
I think that it should be applauded that Hello Games are still working on it. I mean so many people forget that it was almost like the Division. The Division was practically broken on launch. But they shut up and made it better. Just like with No Mans Sky. They shut up and worked on the game to make it better.
Makes me wonder if they'll ever do a "The Division - It's GOOD now?!"
Division was fine on launch. Maybe a few problems here and there, it wasnt a skeleton of a game like NMS was. The division got ruined when they listened to the whiny little kids coming from competitive fps shooters like csgo, saying "the reward system for going rogue in the dark zone should be more and the risk of going rogue should be a lot less" as just an excuse to go into the dark zone and be dicks, simply because they suck in their own fps games that they had to come vent out their frustration in a game like the division. A game where it was possible to make "friends" in the dark zone though always being cautious. Where now its just shoot on sight, rogue or not rogue. In the beginning people would ban together to take out a rogue player on the map. Now you go into the dark zone its just TDM with good loot... somewhere... which you would never get out anywhere because there are other players camping extraction points ready to KOS players that go there.
That sounds like a pretty miserable experience.
exactly
One of the more glaring issues The Division had was that if a player stopped in a doorway and went AFK, there was no way possible to get through the door. And the player in the door could stand there indefinitely.

Yuri Lapointe i told u were looking left
Haha you called it.
I was playing some game when I saw a steam notification saying there was going to be an update, I had to stop what I was doing because I didn't believe it.
ElectricZap I was doing a school peoject... jumped right on the wagon of update is real?!
Where have you been Ashley?
great they made a building feature now they should make the rest of the game :D
exactly... what a joke.
If they come, we will built it.
People are so spoiled. This game was made by a 15 man team. I think they did a great job!
same here.
Spoiled? You realize people payed $60 for a game that hardly resembles a finished product, right? If you think people are spoiled for complaining about a product they payed good money for that didn't deliver, I can only imagine you're spoiled enough to where you don't have to spend your hard earned money on games. :/
then charge accordingly not $60 AAA big studio price and dont lie so much about the game
The problem is they promised more than they could deliver at least in the time allotted. I could understand if they just made these promises several months before release, but as it got closer to release, they should have told people that features would be delayed or release it LATER. By itself, the game is okay, definitely not worth 60$, but would be a fine indie game for at most 40$.
terraria is only a 15 dollar game and i can guarantee that it has more substance then no mans sky.
The game has so much potential that I think it would be easy to forgive Hello Games and especially Sean for the mistakes that were made. I never tried to get a refund on NMS only hoping they would not just abandon their game, and it payed off. They did a good thing by trying to fix it.
unfortunately with the way game launches work, it is nigh impossible to restore the community interest after such a disastrous fan reception. The concurrent player numbers alone are astounding.... from 200,000+ at launch to a low of 500, back up to only 5,000 concurrent players on PC. It truly is a historic failure and while I do kind of feel sorry for them, they have to live with their mistakes like the rest of us.
josh mack Agreed. That also means that if they can find a way to atone for their mistake then we should welcome that. f they cant then oh well. They did bring it on themselves
LOUD NOSES
Noses eh?

Heber Madsen Not gonna lie your profile picture has a big nose.

Dashing Devil Skeletor lol,
So I see this video "No Man's Sky... It's GOOD Now!?", I click it and get "We will sell out to pretty much anyone so how about them Omaha Steaks?".
Omaha Steaks 100% Royalty-free.
They just wanted to make a little extra money, nothing wrong with that.
Annie Nyan they tore it a new one at some points lmao
What?! I can now put a series of models together to form a base on my favorite planet?! I dunno how I'm going to accommodate or defend it from the NPC's with their insanely good AI.
Man, i can not wait for the next update. They are improving the game a lot, it already looks so much better and the base building and survival mode is a lot of fun imo. I hope some day there will be multiplayer.
You would think they would have actually put something at the center of the universe.
they'll tell you it's about the journey and not the destination. except, their game isn't anywhere close to as impressive as the actual game called 'journey' that did this well.
that's the thing though, it's been proven that they did but they didn't patch it up enough to work properly on release. The evidence comes from the one guy whose PSN id is StiiKzZ who is the only person who got marked as discovering the centre of the universe despite the fact that loads of people did this before him, and the reason he's the only one who got marked is because he discovered it in the vanilla version of the game. He claims that the only thing actually in the centre of the universe is another Star System which leads me to think that they probably had something planned to happen there before warping you off to another galaxy, ok so maybe "proven" is me being a little too hopeful but it does make you wonder, why put a star system in the centre if you don't want it to get discovered?
This game needs some PVP, Huge scale ones... I mean against multiple players and NPCs
*****
It's better than playing singleplayer in a huge universe without any real objectives..I mean Minecraft has Objectives that keeps the player moving, and has Multiplayer for faction wars, for base building, community making, trade and etc..
No Man's Sky as it is.. Is still boring as hell..
Go play EVE Online.
Gabriel Pendragon
Does EVE Online have First Person Perspective?
play elite or wait for star citizen

No. It will never be good
well aren't you a happy Gilmore
Theshdow424 why are you watching this lol
Theshdow424 stop I can always be fixed
Connor Thompson The game can always be fixed it's just the fan base that need's to see that they are fixing their mistakes
Bit regressive, that way of thinking.
I've been playing the update. It's really fun because you can get missions now.
i will play again when and if multi player is added..
you do realize that multiplayer is essentially...more than 1 player. Even if it's not an MMO standard, playing with friends is important for a game that marketed it since the beginning.
BurakkuHishou so what do you mean you know what i meant..
Zac Owen i was responding to joca
Sure wish i could see other players.
^ Sean Murray confirmed
What still excites me about Hello Games is their passion for the game; it shows in every trailer they release.
I will most likely return to this game and be amazed, as I was the first time I booted it up. Sure, it had it's let downs but it was still fun and exciting to play at the start.
Martin Ekelund it isn't passion for their game that you're seeing in those videos it's passion for our money;-)
lol the videos were part of the scam. gameplay was anything near what was shown OR promised.
madMARTINmarsh Giles are they getting any money out of these new updates?
Where's mah multiplayer!!?
I'd imagine it is something they are looking into heavily.. GIven the outcry and it being one of the main points. But right now filing up the blank slate that they launched is much welcomed.
pretty sure they would need a dedicated server as of now its all on your own machine so I think there is 0% chance of ever multi player.
Kal larken
Have patience, young grasshopper.
Kal larken actually there is a slight chance of ypu meeting another player
BadDrivers it isn't
Tried out the update. Base building is pretty much straight out of Subnautica.
This is good, I really liked Subnauticas base building :D
Jon, you're just bashing them with hate. I get the feeling that if No Mans Sky does eventually become a good game you'd still hate it. Lots of games have done this: Crapy launch, updates, good game. I agree the launch was awful but Hello Games are clearly trying to fix it.
Did you get his jab at the writers though? "You guys are terrible." I'm pretty sure they just needed someone to poke and bash the game for the news script and Jon got that role.
Xander Dudman kinda true...
kuroganekaze well when you put it that way I kinda feel bad for that comment now
ok I know I'm in the minority here but I love that game. (maybe because I never heard the hype and bought the game because it seemed awesome) and I love it as it was and even more with the new content:3
I heard the hype, but I still like the game, I did install a mod, to stack items, so I don't have to run back and forth so much.
games not bad, i stayed updated as they made the game and the exceptions i had were too large compared to the end result, still i like the game but i waisted too much time playing minecraft and farming materials when i was younger so no mans sky tended to be quiet boreing and slow after awile, hopefully this update will give me more objectives to pick up again.
If I still had it, I'd give it another try. But too bad for them, I sold it due to the lack of communication about all the lies.
sucks for you I guess...
Kira yeah not really
Dashing Devil Skeletor your opinion.
Kira It's the opinion of the 99% who bought the game.
Dashing Devil Skeletor nope. more like 40%
add the ability to play with friends,. then we will talk.
I'm not at all upset with who you guys choose to advertise in your vids, but I find it funny how it seems like you're looking for ads that have as little to do with video games as possible. You guys are great by the way. :)
That's actually intentional. We don't really do sponsorships from games or game companies because we want to be free to critique or praise without worrying if it will get us blacklisted and hurt our ability to keep making content. Instead, we do sponsorships with non-endemic brands and products we think our community might have an interest instead.
that's nice :)
...and it doesn't hurt that Omaha Steaks are some excellent eatin'!
Ok we now know hello games or murray don't talk to anyone but if they keep improving the game they can stay mute
Hahaaaa the longer you wait, the better AND cheaper no man's sky gets... Kinda ironic huh?
... Except it's still $60
40% saved on steam.
Cheaper, maybe. It's still worse than getting a white-hot fireplace poker shoved up your ass, while being forced to listen to a "Lil Wayne greatest hits" compilation. Which is exactly where the game was at launch lol
I might buy this in two years when it's 20 bucks and fully updated.
I didn't want No Man Sky When it was in hype, I didn't really like just exploring, and what the story was, but i knew many did, so seeing them depressed isn't good for me, though I am really happy that No Man's Sky is updating and is still trying. So while I no many will still hate them but I'm rooting for them. Keep the game going Hello Games!
The sarcasm is strong in these two.
What everyone has failed to admit to themselves is that Hello Games is a really tiny indie game developer company that has manage to make a game with minimal resources that would blow big developers minds, like EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo etc. Relative to the size of the team this game is a masterpiece. Just imagine if Sean Murray had a developer team as big as Assassin's Creed. Then this game would be mind blowing.
The facts stands though that they don't have the same resources and manpower as the big developers so it will take time to polish this piece of rock into a diamond. I still have as big hopes for this game as I had when it was first announced. It will however not get better if we drive each and everyone of the dev's for the NMS into their graves.
I don't think Murray or Hello Games had bad intentions but when it comes right down to it they lied about features and kept false images up on their store page for over a month. The latter really showing how little they cared about honesty or their customers.
Murray's overpromising may not technically qualify as lies for the most part (though some of it certainly was [multiplayer]), as he did hedge a lot, but he should still issue a tearful apology and change his last name to Murrayneux. And I will never believe anything that comes out of his mouth again.
In addition, calling the release version of No Man's Sky a beta is quite generous, as betas are more or less feature complete. That was an alpha.
sony handled advertisement and even had people at the conventions preping sean.
i originally was going to get the game up until i heard about the issue. i will keep track of the games progress, and with a couple of updates i might buy the game, but they will need to earn my money.
Let me know when there actually is something at the middle of the galaxy instead of a reset button, and then we can talk about playing the game
I like that "The Know"'s ads are just quick shout-outs at the beginning of the video. I have respect for the companies who do this instead of long and boring ads that we have to sit through. I also think it's more effective coming from people we like to listen to. Keep it up, Ashley and co, I'm a fan.
I will wait until they have more before I trust them again. It looks cool but I just need more.
that'll probably take a while, keep in mind there's like 20 people working on the game.
And now we play the waiting game.
D- Man right there with you. Looks promising but they need a few more major changes before I feel like it's worthy of my time again
Fix the combat/fix the primary objective/give us more distractions besides resource gathering and make us feel less alone in this game(more useful NPC's) just add these fixes and I will happily return with renewed expectations!
I'm actually considering buying no man's sky now.if this goes on then this would be a great comeback for hello games.
It seems about worth the price at Bull Moose, if you have one around you
it's on sale on Amazon right now for PS4.
I would give it another 6 months and see were it goes from there.
I'd say get it if you can get it on sale but don't buy it full price. I generally think it's not a good idea to get any game full price unless it's something you really want. The price always drops.
krtek If you are going to insult someone's intelligence, please use proper grammar.
I think I'm going to wait for all the updates to come out and the price to drop before I buy this game
Agreed, I'll get it when it's being offered for like $7.99. Which I'm sure it will be in a year's time.
ill give her an Omaha steak...
I'll eat the stea... wait. What?
Kyle Hewlett DISGUSTANG
Cuban Cucumber lot of people hate mustangs also
Hello Games needs to hand No man's sky over To Rockstar they will it turn into a good game.
Right.
grand theft auto galaxy awaits edition
NO! Rockstar makes good games. They should never tarnish their fame with this failure of a game. If they want to make a Grand Theft Spaceships game, they'll do it on their own.
Heh. It'd be more likely for whoever has Saint's Row now...
Jo Veteran They should do a gta space game.
Why can't they add online too no mans sky and rename the game "a lot of men in the sky"
I would rather *play Minecraft*, instead *play No Man's Sky* new update version.
Harambe Got you LOL
This is why I usually wait for developers to work out bugs and an update with "enticing" features
Literally all they need to do to make this game enjoyable is to allow players to join parties. problem solved. no need for a giant multilayer experience. just let people play with a couple friends..
Bad press for this game started before anyone could have feasibly gotten near the centre... so what I read from that is that gamers are quick to judge nowadays. The best 'moment' in the game was filling up and getting 'warping' once everything was upgraded. I never had a problem with this game, or the perceived 'deception,' I was always pretty sure of what I'd get (not much), and was just interested in the algorithm, really. I'm 33 years old now and have been gaming since my first SEGA Master System...games enchant me. I think basically the modern gamer is someone who has grown up with devices around the whole time, therefore they end up with this entitled, whining behavior when things aren't as good as they thought. The sense of wonder is gone from this generation.
I have to agree. Even though I'm a bit young (21) I don't really set standards high nor do I hype games at all. I go into games for fun, and to help relieve stress. Not to mention the hype for No Man's Sky reached unbelievably high levels, it was so hyped that even if it was exactly as the trailer implied, it wouldn't have fared any better. No game could possibly have met the hype No Man's Sky had. The game's fine, and it was even fine before the Foundation Update, the problem lies with people letting themselves get hyped up.
Siegfried Grant exactly what I thought and I'm late 30, what awe me is the fact that you can explore any planets you landed, some barren and some absolutely gorgeous even it's generated by procedural.
Yeah Iwe, I found it fascinating kinda on a mathematical level...I'm terrible at maths but now I see how it can populate an entire universe so easily, full of variety...
Soz Kal, I shouldn't have turned it into an 'age rant' old man thing, but my observation is that we were so enchanted. I used to look at 2D sprites and now I just think graphics are unbelievable, too. It sounds cantankerous but young, modern gamers don't really know how lucky they are...
Wow! Trying too hard on the sarcasm... a little too much.
Asafe Gonçalves yup
We can't all be easily impressed
You have to acknowledge how all of the fans and Sony were pretty much forcing this small Indy team to send out the game as soon as possible in other words unfinished.
just give me the girl and i'll be satisfied
I've always been curious of no man sky but I will only buy it once. I decide it is worth the price until then I will continue to keep a eye on it. Like I have been for the past 3 years. I may get it sooner if the price drops to a more reasonable amount. Nothing wrong with charging 60 bucks as long as it has 60 bucks worth of content.
just get a used copy bruh.
Kira used are still expensive lol
Kira it was 25 on Black Friday
Claasic
I'm currently saving my money to fund a project I'm working on and yes I was aware of the sale. But still wasn't worth that much at the time.
wait my dude don't you mean three months?
do you really have to sound so condescending?
...
What?
Dallos Cansing there just piggybacking on the hate
They are free to have an opinion on something.
Do you have to watch?
I just bought the game on steam for 40$. I wasn't going to buy it at 60$, but 40 seems fair if they continue to add stuff to the game for free. Now we need really hostile giant creatures that spit fire/acid/etc, enemy aliens with bases on planets and space, more varied terrain + plants, ability to pilot your freighter and outfit it with weapons, and randomized bounty quests. If they do all of that, I think people will feel differently about the game.
I love the game and enjoying it even more since the update
These presenters are horribly annoying. But No Man's Sky is great now. Although I have noticed you seem to always start on a baron toxic planet in Survival mode. I've had to restart twice because it was impossible to get any further because I kept dying before I could find resources, and both times I re-spawned on a toxic planet.
Well at least Hello game's are actually trying now I have countless ubisoft game's that are still broken and EA's FIFA has been a broken mess with no effort to fix it for year's now, why doesn't this channel be this negative towards those companies?
1 question, do you collect the materials for base building?
I returned it the day I got it
Hello Games shouldn't call these 'updates', they are not adding anything new to the game. These 'new features' were supposed to be in the game at launch, and should be labeled as 'patches' or 'fixes' instead.
Chris Cheng label them as apologies
Chris Cheng before the game released they said they'd add these features in updates, so no they were not supposed to be in the game at launch
The launch of no mans sky was actually rushed, so probably most features aren't in it
As much it fell to start at least it was and is a half descent game compared to, Day One: Garry's Incident
IMO the updates are ok, but they changed up which elements charge which items. Now you need exosuit gloves and a "refined mining laser" to mine some elements which I have yet to find. Also... where are you supposed to get glass for building?? I have yet to see that as well.
This won't get me to buy No Man's Sky, but I'll reconsider boycotting their future games.
Zadamanim let's wait a little while to see if they can make the game better remember this game is like only 4 months old give it a chance maybe three years from now it will be the best game ever to come out or not.
Zackary Smith That's ambitious... Why would they bother supporting a game with no players? I can only see this update as saving face for their next game. I've seen MMO's shut down completely with way more going for them than NMS, though I guess the lack of multiplayer might ironically be a saving grace for it.
Exactly my thoughts but nah, I'm still not gonna give Happy Games any money in the future. They're on the same page as EA, Ubisoft and Peter Molyneux for me.
Zadamanim who knows probably they will turn it around Battlefield 4 managed to turn it around with their glitchy buggy unfinished release.
Scaredy Fox *Hello Games
hello games are probably lying again
mr.coolguy ..... they arent
I pre ordered the game and this update in my eyes never made this game better it's a waste of money and times
Eric Truong
100% more of 1% is 2%. they promised the moon and we got a small moon shaped hunk of cheese.
mr.coolguy it made it so much better
Even if they added everything they promised i still think this would be a boring game. Just with more eye candy. I don't even think Multiplayer would be necessary as that still wouldn't change the game into something fun. It wouldn't change how we play it. Having a friend next to you and exchanging control can be plenty of fun already.
Still no land vehicles? smh 😤
So you are mad and disappointed because something that was never said to be in the game isn't? Look everyone, the typical nms hater!
MrMilkman oh look everyone a no man sky ass kisser hahaha
PokiGaming there are already parts in the game like wheels si that means there will be landvehicles
MrMilkman I actually liked it for a while, but it isn't very good anymore. So don't make assumptions
land vehicles would be so great, it would be tons of fun driving around finding jumps. Also they need to add tiny submarines so you could move underwater faster
I'm kinda weird because I actually really liked the game before the update. Now it's even better!
Still play nms because its still fun!
Alfred Haley You are an amazing comedian.
You and like 13 other ppl, congratz.
No legit, I'm a fan of survival games lmao, it was still a disappointment but I still load it up every now and again and I'm kept entertained
Alfred Haley I agree. If you somehow avoided all the hype and lies like I did you found a fun little game. Perhaps not worth $60 at launch but now we get a kickass update. And if hello games can continue this with more content every 2 months or so I'll be a happy camper. Glad I didn't try for a refund.
+Heber Madsen I was also a sucker for the hype but after I got past it I found a pretty space survival game!
I'm going to wait for the update where space combat becomes more than just suckass.
It's actually been improved in this update as well.
Too late Hello Games. Nothing excuses false advertisement. Seriously, handmade "generated" planet and prerecorded "live" gameplay at a presentation? Liars they be and are not worth anyone's time or money.
Condolences to all who couldn't get a refund.
You guys are gonna want to keep an eye on this one over the next year. Hear me out.
Being someone who followed this game for 2 years before release, I think Hello Games really wanted to make a good game, and this update is proof of that.
Even though I honestly enjoyed it at first, I really was disappointed with the release, and by November only played it biweekly, and for an hour or two, max.
Then the update: crap, it felt like the excitement of launch-day again! My first play session I never even got to the base building (and I still don't own a freighter) but I actually really enjoyed playing. The tweaks on the planet generation made a HUGE impact, planets are actually interesting to look at now, and feel more unique. The same can be said about the animals on said planets.
Overall, it really improved the game. More will be needed obviously, but as they said, this is a "foundation for things to come" (ground vehicles found in game files, so that can be expected soon). So besides the content we've seen, they've been overhauling things so they can add more.
So it may still not look like much, but give it time and a chance, because it looks like they're busy adding to it.
No, I am not Sean Murray lol.
