Bought when its came out but as we know game was sxxk so stop to play. Then in this year so many youtuber taking about this game so tried again mans.. its good. Its not a perfect game but 100% fun to play.
My husband bought this game in 2016, I watched him play this for hours on pc. It was glitchy so he put it down and took it back up during the pandemic. Again I watched him play this for hours. I wanted to play it, but my personal pc could not handle it. Fast foward to last year, I got a new pc and got the game as a gift. I love it. We have played together and now I play by myself because i love exploring the new worlds. I love the updates, it added so much depth and richness to the worlds. I love visiting the anomoly and seeing how other player have created their characters and ships. Its one of my favorite games to play and i cannot wait for what they have next!
I was there in 2016 when the game was so hyped to see it fall so hard. I had friends who wanted to explore planets, caves, fly and fight in space, to see it all end. And fast forward to 2020 when I had no idea about No Man's Sky redemption phase- I was looking for a space game to play when they had it listed. What? This was the game with the terrible launch! But I knew nothing of the redemption phase mentioned and detailed in this video. So I looked into the game to find it was what I had been looking for... for years. And four years later, still playing NMS. I have over 2000 hours in this game. Hello Games deserves all the credit they have earned.
It’s crazy I work with 4+ who were so hype on launch tried it, it was terrible now it’s left a bad taste in there mouth and I’ve been playing it for 3 years so it’s been mint and I’ve tried to get them but they won’t glad you gave it another chance
@@amitansurkar1769Yeah but Starfield isn’t fully open world and you can’t fly into a planets atmosphere to land wherever you’d like. This is what OP commenter was talking about. You can literally fly every where, fly into the atmosphere on any planet, land anywhere on any planet, etc. You can literally go wherever you see manually, which you can’t in Starfield.
@@Shortay1325 true, you can't fly in the atmosphere or do space flying, BUT you CAN litterally land anywhere on a planet, apart from the ocean ofc. Besides is flying around everything? In Starfield you have stories, real quests, it's a proper rpg, have relationships, can become anyone you wanna be, you can't do all that in nms, nms is just a sim, while Starfield is a game. Also Starfield had planets worth exploring, and not just resource collection

I bought NMS for cheap a few updates in. And it has improved every year and I have hundreds of hours in the game. Now playing Permadeath. I feel I owe the devs. So when Light No Fire comes, I'll be into it straight away.
Ok, to correct 1 thing, there's no stipulation that maybe Sony forced them to publish it sooner, this is publicly well known at this point, Sony did force them to publish it before it was ready.
I was skeptical when NMS was being hyped at 2016, so after the reviews i never bought it. after that i kept hearing about the updates on youtube but because of the disastrous launch i thought it's probably gotten better but it cant be that great ,finally this week i decided to try it for the first time and now i understand how much is done to make this game as great as it is. it really is one of the best games i have ever played and I still haven't experienced most of it's mechanics since there is just so many and i need to take baby steps to learn everything.
I was going to buy NMS for PC after launch in 2016, waiting for reviews, and of course, after reading them, waited until I was locked down, not only by the Covids, but a leg injury in mid-2020, when I had nothing but time. I am 7,000+ hours in since then and just when I think that might be enough, here comes another amazing update. I am old and do not play a lot of games; I prefer to lose myself in one or two at a time. It's pretty much just the one these last four years.
All the game needs now is a creature overhaul. I’m so tired of seeing these lame pineapple looking creatures with no limbs hopping around. It looks so alpha/beta. Give us the dinosaur creatures and giant snakes from the first trailer and i’ll be satisfied.
play the game a bit more man....everything you just asked for is there. upgrade your hyperdrive to allow for travel to other restricted start systems. progress the storyline.
I’m proud of where this game is now, such, it’s so good to layback and explore worlds and build and there’s just so much to do now it’s honestly very relaxing
I’ve put 100 hours into nms since late July. . . This is my fourth or fifth time doing so. Every couple years or less I pop on, start a new account and play my arse off.. it’s always addicting
This HAS to be THE biggest passion project so far. it came out looking like more of a tech demo, but they kept working on it and it seems like they REALLY meant what they said at the start
I love No Man's Sky I bought it and played it on day one. It was and still is my kind of Space game. Hello Games did a great job making up for the games bad release I hope that someday when Light No Fire comes out that it will come to Playstation and Xbox systems I hope that we won't have to wait long for those of us that can't afford PC'S.. Thanks for video it bought back memories and reminded me of how much I love this game.
I got No Man's Sky day one when it came to Xbox1. I've been playing off and on since. And recently this July after about two years of not playing I got the urge to play again. I fired it up. Saw it already looked different and logged into my account and was absolutely blown away by all the changes from when I last played. I'm in love all over again with the game.
I bought it when Living Ships released, and I'm disappointed that they were power crept into oblivion... but my Interceptor kicks ass, and I look like some sort of space wizard now!!
I started playing in 2016 on my PS4, and even though it was bad i still played to death. Then when it re launched on Xbox i bought again, now in 2024 im playing it religiously on both consoles. Every update just brings more life to this game and the best thing unlike most AAA games is that its always free. This is one game id genuinely be happy for microtransactions at this point because i feel Hello Games have earned that right.
Every game has the fucking right to have microtransactions, FFS. They're a fucking BUSINESS. What don't you get about that? What's so fucking hard to understand that a BUSINESS needs MONEY to stay IN BUSINESS? You don't fucking work for free, neither do they.
There are a few things I don't agree, the game at launch did run really well on ps4 (30 fps but very stable). A lot of people including myself had a great time with NMS 1.0 Sean said many times in interviews before the release of the game that not all the feature were going to be for day one, that this was a game that they wanted to keep improving and supporting. I played over 300h even before the first major update came in late 2016.
I was there 4 years after launch. I played thru the story and put it down as none of my friends would play alongside me.. now my wife plays and we have just started it all over again. 🎉
The game still has some issues, but I've been in love with the game since I first played it during the Waypoint era. Yeah, I'm a fairly new player, but I still enjoy it none the less!
So ... ... I've been there since 2016 ... but I didn't let Gaming Magazines hype me up and since I come from the IT Industry myself and was once able to work on a Game, it was clear to me that Sean Murray's Statements were his Vision for the Game that were aimed at a long Future for this Game. We must never forget that NMS is Sean's Baby, which he was already working on during his studies. I think that we can expect great Things from Hello Games and especially from NMS and that some other Developers should follow their Example. But unfortunately that's not the Case in our fast-moving World, especially when Investors only pay Attention to quick Money and the next Stock Market Report and strive to maximize Profits at all Costs. Hello Games is refreshingly different and, in my Opinion, better.
It’s crazy how different updates of this game mark different times of my life. I remember seeing the trailer for the “Next” update like it was yesterday. Can’t believe that was 6 years ago
i came back to this game after a big break in 2019, and decided to check it out this year. i was blown away. one of my favorite games in 2019 is still amazing, and every update (unlike other games on the market right now), improves the game drastically and constantly keeps it feeling fresh, and fun.
I joined on the path finder update .. I am truly astounded by how far the game has come to this day, and the fact they still haven't added micro transactions, it is truly amazing .. these guys have all of my upmost respect .. I will be buying their new game as soon as possible ❤
I’ve played all the iterations. I was one of the saps that preordered the original. I still play whenever they put out new stuff, which is constantly. The thing that’s been consistently true the whole time is that the artists working on visual design elements have always been great. It looks great. Looking forward to pt 2 and eventually Light No Fire. Very curious how far away that is.
The holy trinity of gaming redemptions. No Man’s Sky, Sea of Thieves, Battlefront 2. And I am HERE for it. I only recently went back to No Man’s Sky for the first time since 2022. I’m utterly hooked. Looking at what I played in 2016 on PS4, to what I’m playing in 2024 on Series X… mind blowing transition.
I bought it at launch and thought it was fine, I knew everyone was over hyping it like they do with every big gaming release which almost always leads to disappointment. I started playing again with the world's release, I have about 80 hours now on a new save. it still feels like the same game, just with more bells and whistles, qol adjustments and more things to do but at its core still feels like the same game I played 8 years ago.
played 160 hours in two weeks. hearing all the story and realizing what the game turned out to be hello games are an amazing company, the game is a great experience and it bothered me to thing that for so long people were playing it without all the content i saw for myself, hello games did some terible choices at the start but i can honestly say the redeemed themselfs, they are already rich so plz hello game just keep investing in that game, keep up what you are doing, no micro transactions, no extra money for nothing! you are heroes !! keep it up
From day 1, in 2016.... I bought for PS4 on disk BACK then, and now on PS5 when Hello Games UPDATED it for PS5. I spend thousands of hours over the years ever since launch. To me it is getting better. When I play with my friends I play on normal mode, and on solo custom mode. I role play, explore, build, claim systems... Anyway No Nan's Sky is now a great game.
I haven’t played no man’s sky yet!, but I’m keeping up with the release that leads to the newest update “light no fire” coming soon. Then I would play!.
I picked it up for launch, more hype for the game than any game b4. I force myself to play for like a week b4 admitting I was disappointed. After every update I jumped back in happy with something each time. Its one of my favorite games now. I respect this company so much more than any other current company and will definitely get light no fire pre-order and I don't care if it's shit at launch I will Def invest in their ideas.
When I bought the game at launch I had no expectations and that’s why I was probably one of the few people who actually liked the launch version. I then periodically checked back in and I can’t be more happy with my purchase and I am excited for their next game.
Bought it on PS initially. Loved it right away. Shortly afterward, bought it again on Steam for PC. Played over 1000 hours so far and still as happy as day one.
What blows me away the most is that pretty much all of these updates are also on the switch version. I bought the game at launch on PS4 and it's just crazy how it has evolved. I have a pc and Xbox series X but switch is where I spend the most time. It's crazy the game runs on switch period regardless of the fact that even the worlds update made it onto switch. The graphical detail isn't as high and there are no settlements but everything else is there. Mind-blowing.
I bought NMS for the first time a month ago, July, 2024, on my Xbox Series S. I fell in love with the game and upgraded to a series X just so I could enjoy the visuals more. It is a stunning achievement and truly awe inspiring. 'm hooked. ❤
If you ask me Hello Games made up for their mistake 10 times over instead of people worrying about what happened what 8 years ago they should worry about what's going on now Sean Murray is a godsend he has made Hello Games a great game beyond all our expectations and hopes and it keeps getting better this is a free game he doesn't ask nothing for it he deserves our support not our criticism. Sean Murray you earned my respect many times over
This game has become one of my top 5 games of all time, it is the redemption game of the history books, I love and absolutely love just flying around, fighting, building, and just becoming a Space pirate lord like applause all around
One major thing people always glaze over with the update overviews is the Random Encounter System that they added with Living Ships. The Living Ship update made it so while pulse driving you could encounter TONS of crazy things while pulsing around from derelict freighters, children of helios, containment units, atlas messengers, etc. It changed a LOT of how the game felt while you travelled around and I don't think it gets much attention.
I just bought it on switch a few weeks ago out of curiosity and with zero prior gameplay and just vague knowledge of the launch debacle i am amazed at what a deep, enjoyable game it is and the fact that HG were willing to die on this hill has earned them my undying respect, easily one of the best games i have ever played
Have had this since launch. Still have my original paradise planet base and have been playing since. Absolutely LOVE what they have done and cannot wait for what comes next!!! It's beautiful!
I only heard of this game, when people complained about it flopping. This year, a friend asked me to try it out. I haven't looked back since. This is a beautiful and fun game.
one very smart thing they did is building the game thinking about another game Light no Fire is basically using mechanics from NMS but in a singular world, changing the theme but making use of all they've already build, making it possible to make a even bigger game, thats why i think light no fire will work really well
Picked it up at launch. Came back to it with most of the major updates. Played it for a week or two each time and moved on. Worlds 1 is the first time it's really hooked me. I always feel like I have something to do when I log in.
Been playing no mans sky since 2022. I heard about the bad launch and decided to wait to see if they fixed it. After putting up with bad launch after bad launch, battlefront 1 and 2 remakes, and pther arguably bad games, like fallout 76 and more i started looking for a game that cared about its players. Enter no mans sky. The game has done a complete 180 and is easily the best game i have ever played.
Started with next update. Game has been my go to over game for years. Don't have much time for gaming but whenever I do I will run an expedition, explore, weekend mission etc.
You 'can' 'crash' on giant tree things. Took me and a friend forever to get his ship down again as he somehow got out mid landing but had empty launch thrusters. But this doesn't really count...
What content, exactly? NMS has no actual content. You run around doing nothing, for nothing. There are no goals outside of the artificial ones set by the player.
Just started playing it now for the first time, I have been patiently waiting years for it to get to this point and it now feels right for the first time, absolutely stunning game!
Its still chunky for me, will freeze, but its always very understandable. Being able to hope from planet to planet is just a level of freedom i cab never get in aother games where its loading screens. Being able to set of from a to b is so magical and the whole point, the journy
I absolutely LOVE what they have done to this game. the amount of hours I have put in to this game is more than all other games combined with the small exeption of Valheim.
I played it on Day 1 and enjoyed it. I also didn't follow the delopment and had no idea what they'd promised. It was a bit bland, especially compared to what we have now but I played it more to relax and it filled that gap well. I recently replayed it for the first time since release in 2016 and it's like a whole new game- way better!
I'll say this: thank god it released as it did... because sean felt his failure was unacceptable and changed how he would continue development of nms and completely changed his mindset towards future games. just see how we are getting updates till this day, even with content from their new future game: light no fire.
The only thing I need from HG is an economy/trade redux/overhaul and a bigger combat system. Allow us to create factions/have faction wars (especially against/with the 3 main races) and allow for bigger combat missions that we can take part of as either a mini RTS or shooter.
I recently bought no man's sky this game is incredible, the exploration feels amazing, i love discovering new worlds i feel like a real life Christopher Columbus
Bought it launch I was never disappointed because I didn’t pay much attention to the sales pitches and the hype I just saw open space and planet exploration and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I’m glad it’s just gotten better and better
I was there for the midnight release of NMS and was so disappointed with what we got and stopped playing until a bit after the Next update and was blown away even then! Now it's my favorite game of all time, I've completed all of the expeditions, have more hours in this game than any other 🙌 it's so amazing what they've done and I hope that other studios start listening to their fan base to improve off of their initial releases instead of releasing unfinished games half the time
dude i see the old footage of the game and i still cant stop thinking that what happened is that someone erased the code that was already made and made the creators start from zero
It's so cool how this game turned out. I haven't played in years. Because I enjoy combat. And it always seemed lacking in that sense. Now with the graphics upgrade, and combat missions. I don't think I can resist giving it another go.
Absolutely LOVE this game from launch to now and obsessed with what it's become! So thanfkul for all the work the team at Hello Games have done. One thing I've been secretly praying for would be an overhaul of moons and planetary satellites at night. To have the moons and planets shine at night would be PHENOMENAL!! It would make nights that much more interesting and beautiful. I hope that comes one day!
I learned about the game after reading an article in Game Informer the day before launch. On launch day I spent 3 hours and hit up a dozen stores trying to find a copy before snagging the final copy at the local Best Buy. I played for about 10 hours (half of that lost in caves) before deciding that it was quite what I was looking for. I liked it and I had no issue with the game but it just didn’t scratch the itch like I expected. I had heard it had some updates so after watching a StarField v No Man’s Sky comparison stream I pulled it off my shelf and tried it again. I now have hundreds of hours over multiple saves and play it several hours a day several days a week.
I've never seen a studio work so hard on a game to make up for it's bad launch. They've earned my respect, and I'm glad I defended them the whole way. I truly like the game, even from the start, but I didn't have the crashes and stuff like others.
And none of these overhaul updates were pushed as Purchasable DLC's... What Chads!! I would not have blamed them if they did. They indeed earned back my respect.
I remember doing the reverse. Knowing that Atlas was going to be a banger I bought no man's sky for PS4 for $4 at CD exchange. With that new patch the week later it was $50 again used. You can only do that once with a game and that game is no man's sky. You can't buy Halo infinite knowing that it's going to be a banger or a week later. That's a significance of that patch of the turnaround really hasn't been anything like it.
It's insane to me that there's multibillion dollar companies with near infinite budget out there not even coming close to what hello games did and mind you, NO MICROTRANSACTIONS, in 2024, while having 4 currencies in the game which are easily monetizable for them. They just chose to be the good guys in the gaming industry and that is why i respect them so much.
The fact that they kept going until they met, the promise is a respectable achievement because some studios will go out of their way to ignore their customers and avoid accountability
Such an incredible game. Started a new play through about a week ago, a few years after my last try and they have delivered what was initially promised 10 times over. I’m 40 hours in (the longest I’ve ever played) and feel like I’m just at the tip of the iceberg.
4k hours later... I'm still exploring, smuggling, raiding freighters, killing bugs, finding new lore, and shoot - ever few months there is new stuff anyway so... it's a never-ending adventure and exploration that I can never thank HG enough for. Yeah, it sucked in the beginning. I was disappointed along with everyone else - but man, it is so good. :)
But there is one major problem with NMS and what Hello Games did. Other developers are doing the same thing now, releasing a broken game and trying to fix it later. The difference with the other studios is LACK OF PASSION for the project. Only 2 have done it, Hello Game and CD Project Red. The rest just left a broken and untrusting gamer.
Started playing a few years ago and now I hopped back on playing every day! The new update is amazing. Finding an abandoned (not outlaw) station was nostalgic AF lol cuz it's layout is of the old pre updated space stations.
I absolutely love this game with three files currently in the almost 700 hours mark this is my go to game. But one thing I noticed of a lot of these catch up and mini documentaries is solely putting the blame on Sony or Sean Murray and hello games. Not only were Sony and Hello games to blame for the NMS state but also the actual community itself. It seems like the toxicity of the community back then is always overlooked in favor of Sony and hello games but players back then we're very disgusting to hello games... A lot of the pressure came from gamers wanting this game to be released sooner rather than later. down to even hacking and pirating this game and spreading it online. I'm absolutely thrilled that this game has persisted and has become what it originally was envisioned.
i'm fairly certain i started in the next update timeframe, i remember being confused for a while when they added power mechanics and i had to redo a lot of my bases since they now need power, i also remember being completely thrown off as to why every vehicle was suddenly huge
I first discovered no mans sky a few years back when I started playing elite dangerous I finally tried no mans sky last year and enjoyed it But I have not played it since last year I will have to turn it on and update it to see how it looks now after the latest update!
Bought the game during covid n got stuck at the beginning due to a glitch n nvr played again , just started a new save a few weeks ago n I’ve been hooked , glad I gave it a chance again
I bought the game a year ago.I have been wandering around collecting stuff.I have never seen a ship.The game doesn't tell you what to do or where to go.How do you do anything?I have the VR 2 that I want to try out,but the game doesn't tell you anything about anything.How do you find out what to do?Are you supposed to leave the planet?How do you get off the planet?
Yeah I literally heard about the game back before it released and thought "oh cool" but the Worlds Part 1 trailer is what convinced me to buy the game. I got my brother in law into it and we play almost everyday, its super fun!
When did you start playing No Mans Sky? Comment below!
After NEXT, before The Abyss.
Bought when its came out but as we know game was sxxk so stop to play. Then in this year so many youtuber taking about this game so tried again mans.. its good.
Its not a perfect game but 100% fun to play.
at launch, and i keep coming back. awesome team at hello games.
Day one. It was rough.
Started at 2019, loving the game until now.
HelloGames kept their word and delivered the unimagined - I'm just so attached to it now, Sean, you earned my respect
Against all odds as well!
The game is actually better than what was originally promised.
Nope, still a scam, Sean never sell it to be a minecraft in space back in 2015/16, whether you like it or not now, still a scam
@@julda8080 salty
@@julda8080yet you comment on a nms videos, pushing the algorithm to show u more of the 'scam' 😂
It's unbelievable that they still plan on dishing out massive updates such as Worlds 2.0. I'm so glad I gave this game a chance.
It’s fun I played it for a good few months. Really impressive. The seamless transistion from planet to space is amazing.
My husband bought this game in 2016, I watched him play this for hours on pc. It was glitchy so he put it down and took it back up during the pandemic. Again I watched him play this for hours.

Today I made the decision to buy No Mans Sky after so many years. It looks like the game I always wanted to experience
I was there in 2016 when the game was so hyped to see it fall so hard. I had friends who wanted to explore planets, caves, fly and fight in space, to see it all end.
And fast forward to 2020 when I had no idea about No Man's Sky redemption phase- I was looking for a space game to play when they had it listed. What? This was the game with the terrible launch! But I knew nothing of the redemption phase mentioned and detailed in this video.
So I looked into the game to find it was what I had been looking for... for years.
And four years later, still playing NMS. I have over 2000 hours in this game. Hello Games deserves all the credit they have earned.
Beautifully said!
It’s crazy I work with 4+ who were so hype on launch tried it, it was terrible now it’s left a bad taste in there mouth and I’ve been playing it for 3 years so it’s been mint and I’ve tried to get them but they won’t glad you gave it another chance
1000000% true, me too, i finally found the game i was looking for
It’s such a beautiful game and I love just spending hours doing whatever I decide, whenever I decide, wherever I decide. It’s very very very good

Wow, what galaxy are you in?
I bought NMS for cheap a few updates in. And it has improved every year and I have hundreds of hours in the game. Now playing Permadeath. I feel I owe the devs. So when Light No Fire comes, I'll be into it straight away.
I started at the BEYOND update, never regretted that decision
I so siced for Light No Fire
I would not actyally recommend buying first day, but whatever :)
Ok, to correct 1 thing, there's no stipulation that maybe Sony forced them to publish it sooner, this is publicly well known at this point, Sony did force them to publish it before it was ready.
Bang on pal.
Not yo mention their studio being flooded before launch, which should have given them at minimum a year to rebuild and restart.

It needs a hunger meter so all the food we find has an actual use
I wish life wasn’t so busy now. This is exactly the kind of game I’d have spent countless hours in when I was younger. Looks incredible.

Thanks for watching!
I got No Man's Sky day one when it came to Xbox1. I've been playing off and on since. And recently this July after about two years of not playing I got the urge to play again. I fired it up. Saw it already looked different and logged into my account and was absolutely blown away by all the changes from when I last played. I'm in love all over again with the game.
I bought it when Living Ships released, and I'm disappointed that they were power crept into oblivion... but my Interceptor kicks ass, and I look like some sort of space wizard now!!
I'm absolutely going for the light no fire.
The opposite of Hell Divers 2
Hahhh 😂 too true
I haven't been following Helldivers 2 much, are things that bad haha?
@@WesNemo yeah, they nerfed the flamethrower a few days before FLAME themed warbound. Go figure
@@XSD13yeah it’s bad but people act like it’s the end of the world and that the devs should be burned I’m like wtf??
@@XSD13 the game tbh is keeping a good balance, if everyone uses something they nerf it and change the meta
I started playing in 2016 on my PS4, and even though it was bad i still played to death. Then when it re launched on Xbox i bought again, now in 2024 im playing it religiously on both consoles. Every update just brings more life to this game and the best thing unlike most AAA games is that its always free. This is one game id genuinely be happy for microtransactions at this point because i feel Hello Games have earned that right.
Every game has the fucking right to have microtransactions, FFS. They're a fucking BUSINESS. What don't you get about that? What's so fucking hard to understand that a BUSINESS needs MONEY to stay IN BUSINESS? You don't fucking work for free, neither do they.
There are a few things I don't agree, the game at launch did run really well on ps4 (30 fps but very stable). A lot of people including myself had a great time with NMS 1.0 Sean said many times in interviews before the release of the game that not all the feature were going to be for day one, that this was a game that they wanted to keep improving and supporting. I played over 300h even before the first major update came in late 2016.
He also said all those features would be in the game at launch.
I was there 4 years after launch. I played thru the story and put it down as none of my friends would play alongside me.. now my wife plays and we have just started it all over again. 🎉
The game still has some issues, but I've been in love with the game since I first played it during the Waypoint era. Yeah, I'm a fairly new player, but I still enjoy it none the less!
Oh for sure, its definitely not a perfect game, I'm loving every second of Worlds Part 1!
So ...
... I've been there since 2016 ... but I didn't let Gaming Magazines hype me up and since I come from the IT Industry myself and was once able to work on a Game, it was clear to me that Sean Murray's Statements were his Vision for the Game that were aimed at a long Future for this Game. We must never forget that NMS is Sean's Baby, which he was already working on during his studies. I think that we can expect great Things from Hello Games and especially from NMS and that some other Developers should follow their Example.
But unfortunately that's not the Case in our fast-moving World, especially when Investors only pay Attention to quick Money and the next Stock Market Report and strive to maximize Profits at all Costs. Hello Games is refreshingly different and, in my Opinion, better.
It’s crazy how different updates of this game mark different times of my life. I remember seeing the trailer for the “Next” update like it was yesterday. Can’t believe that was 6 years ago
I watched the game on youtube for two years before i could purchase a playstation and buy it immediately. The greatest game ive ever played
i came back to this game after a big break in 2019, and decided to check it out this year. i was blown away. one of my favorite games in 2019 is still amazing, and every update (unlike other games on the market right now), improves the game drastically and constantly keeps it feeling fresh, and fun.
I joined on the path finder update .. I am truly astounded by how far the game has come to this day, and the fact they still haven't added micro transactions, it is truly amazing .. these guys have all of my upmost respect .. I will be buying their new game as soon as possible ❤
I’ve played all the iterations. I was one of the saps that preordered the original. I still play whenever they put out new stuff, which is constantly. The thing that’s been consistently true the whole time is that the artists working on visual design elements have always been great. It looks great. Looking forward to pt 2 and eventually Light No Fire. Very curious how far away that is.
+1800 hours into this game. I'm playing it on Nintendo Switch, it's a shame they left out multiplayer, the technology is there for sure.
Wait, you cant multiplayer on switch? Lame.
The holy trinity of gaming redemptions. No Man’s Sky, Sea of Thieves, Battlefront 2. And I am HERE for it. I only recently went back to No Man’s Sky for the first time since 2022. I’m utterly hooked. Looking at what I played in 2016 on PS4, to what I’m playing in 2024 on Series X… mind blowing transition.
Looks like I've got at least 2 more videos to make haha!
I bought it at launch and thought it was fine, I knew everyone was over hyping it like they do with every big gaming release which almost always leads to disappointment.
I started playing again with the world's release, I have about 80 hours now on a new save. it still feels like the same game, just with more bells and whistles, qol adjustments and more things to do but at its core still feels like the same game I played 8 years ago.
played 160 hours in two weeks. hearing all the story and realizing what the game turned out to be hello games are an amazing company, the game is a great experience and it bothered me to thing that for so long people were playing it without all the content i saw for myself, hello games did some terible choices at the start but i can honestly say the redeemed themselfs, they are already rich so plz hello game just keep investing in that game, keep up what you are doing, no micro transactions, no extra money for nothing! you are heroes !! keep it up
From day 1, in 2016.... I bought for PS4 on disk BACK then, and now on PS5 when Hello Games UPDATED it for PS5. I spend thousands of hours over the years ever since launch. To me it is getting better. When I play with my friends I play on normal mode, and on solo custom mode. I role play, explore, build, claim systems... Anyway No Nan's Sky is now a great game.
I haven’t played no man’s sky yet!, but I’m keeping up with the release that leads to the newest update “light no fire” coming soon. Then I would play!.
Im so ready for Light No Fire!
You're depriving yourself off a lot of fun. There is so much to do.
I picked it up for launch, more hype for the game than any game b4. I force myself to play for like a week b4 admitting I was disappointed. After every update I jumped back in happy with something each time. Its one of my favorite games now. I respect this company so much more than any other current company and will definitely get light no fire pre-order and I don't care if it's shit at launch I will Def invest in their ideas.
When I bought the game at launch I had no expectations and that’s why I was probably one of the few people who actually liked the launch version. I then periodically checked back in and I can’t be more happy with my purchase and I am excited for their next game.
Bought it on PS initially. Loved it right away. Shortly afterward, bought it again on Steam for PC. Played over 1000 hours so far and still as happy as day one.
Been playing since 2016 and just still amazed on how much that game has grown since then.
What blows me away the most is that pretty much all of these updates are also on the switch version. I bought the game at launch on PS4 and it's just crazy how it has evolved. I have a pc and Xbox series X but switch is where I spend the most time. It's crazy the game runs on switch period regardless of the fact that even the worlds update made it onto switch. The graphical detail isn't as high and there are no settlements but everything else is there. Mind-blowing.
I bought NMS for the first time a month ago, July, 2024, on my Xbox Series S. I fell in love with the game and upgraded to a series X just so I could enjoy the visuals more. It is a stunning achievement and truly awe inspiring. 'm hooked. ❤
If you ask me Hello Games made up for their mistake 10 times over instead of people worrying about what happened what 8 years ago they should worry about what's going on now Sean Murray is a godsend he has made Hello Games a great game beyond all our expectations and hopes and it keeps getting better this is a free game he doesn't ask nothing for it he deserves our support not our criticism. Sean Murray you earned my respect many times over
This game has become one of my top 5 games of all time, it is the redemption game of the history books, I love and absolutely love just flying around, fighting, building, and just becoming a Space pirate lord like applause all around
Bought the game this monday and i was blasted away by the content it has to offer, i have 45h just in the first few days of playing
One major thing people always glaze over with the update overviews is the Random Encounter System that they added with Living Ships.
The Living Ship update made it so while pulse driving you could encounter TONS of crazy things while pulsing around from derelict freighters, children of helios, containment units, atlas messengers, etc.
It changed a LOT of how the game felt while you travelled around and I don't think it gets much attention.
I just bought it on switch a few weeks ago out of curiosity and with zero prior gameplay and just vague knowledge of the launch debacle i am amazed at what a deep, enjoyable game it is and the fact that HG were willing to die on this hill has earned them my undying respect, easily one of the best games i have ever played
Have had this since launch. Still have my original paradise planet base and have been playing since. Absolutely LOVE what they have done and cannot wait for what comes next!!! It's beautiful!
I only heard of this game, when people complained about it flopping. This year, a friend asked me to try it out. I haven't looked back since. This is a beautiful and fun game.
one very smart thing they did is building the game thinking about another game
Light no Fire is basically using mechanics from NMS but in a singular world, changing the theme but making use of all they've already build, making it possible to make a even bigger game, thats why i think light no fire will work really well
Picked it up at launch. Came back to it with most of the major updates. Played it for a week or two each time and moved on. Worlds 1 is the first time it's really hooked me. I always feel like I have something to do when I log in.
Been playing no mans sky since 2022. I heard about the bad launch and decided to wait to see if they fixed it. After putting up with bad launch after bad launch, battlefront 1 and 2 remakes, and pther arguably bad games, like fallout 76 and more i started looking for a game that cared about its players. Enter no mans sky. The game has done a complete 180 and is easily the best game i have ever played.
I just got a vr and just played some NMS vr. ..I feel enlightened
Thats awesome haha! I might have to boot up my valve index to try it out
Started with next update. Game has been my go to over game for years. Don't have much time for gaming but whenever I do I will run an expedition, explore, weekend mission etc.
And with all this content, I still can't crash my ship lmao
You 'can' 'crash' on giant tree things. Took me and a friend forever to get his ship down again as he somehow got out mid landing but had empty launch thrusters. But this doesn't really count...
What content, exactly? NMS has no actual content. You run around doing nothing, for nothing. There are no goals outside of the artificial ones set by the player.
@@Clockwork-Heart Yes it's not suited for everyone. It is no good for people with no imagination who need to have something to min/max and complete.
@@Clockwork-Heart Have you ever played sandbox games? If not, that might be why you feel this way.
@@Clockwork-Heart Isn't that just every video game?
Just started playing it now for the first time, I have been patiently waiting years for it to get to this point and it now feels right for the first time, absolutely stunning game!
Its still chunky for me, will freeze, but its always very understandable. Being able to hope from planet to planet is just a level of freedom i cab never get in aother games where its loading screens. Being able to set of from a to b is so magical and the whole point, the journy
When I started playing in 2016, I was a little let down, but I saw the framework for a potentially great game. I'm glad I decided to keep playing.
I absolutely LOVE what they have done to this game. the amount of hours I have put in to this game is more than all other games combined with the small exeption of Valheim.
Been playing for two years. Just really impressed with the game and the players.
I played it on Day 1 and enjoyed it. I also didn't follow the delopment and had no idea what they'd promised. It was a bit bland, especially compared to what we have now but I played it more to relax and it filled that gap well. I recently replayed it for the first time since release in 2016 and it's like a whole new game- way better!
player since 2018 - This is an excellent summary of an excellent game.
I'll say this: thank god it released as it did... because sean felt his failure was unacceptable and changed how he would continue development of nms and completely changed his mindset towards future games. just see how we are getting updates till this day, even with content from their new future game: light no fire.
The only thing I need from HG is an economy/trade redux/overhaul and a bigger combat system. Allow us to create factions/have faction wars (especially against/with the 3 main races) and allow for bigger combat missions that we can take part of as either a mini RTS or shooter.
How I didn’t know about this game for almost ten years is crazy. I’m addicted
I recently bought no man's sky this game is incredible, the exploration feels amazing, i love discovering new worlds i feel like a real life Christopher Columbus
Bought it launch I was never disappointed because I didn’t pay much attention to the sales pitches and the hype
I just saw open space and planet exploration and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I’m glad it’s just gotten better and better
I was there for the midnight release of NMS and was so disappointed with what we got and stopped playing until a bit after the Next update and was blown away even then! Now it's my favorite game of all time, I've completed all of the expeditions, have more hours in this game than any other 🙌 it's so amazing what they've done and I hope that other studios start listening to their fan base to improve off of their initial releases instead of releasing unfinished games half the time
dude i see the old footage of the game and i still cant stop thinking that what happened is that someone erased the code that was already made and made the creators start from zero
It's so cool how this game turned out.
I haven't played in years.
Because I enjoy combat. And it always seemed lacking in that sense.
Now with the graphics upgrade, and combat missions. I don't think I can resist giving it another go.
Absolutely LOVE this game from launch to now and obsessed with what it's become! So thanfkul for all the work the team at Hello Games have done. One thing I've been secretly praying for would be an overhaul of moons and planetary satellites at night. To have the moons and planets shine at night would be PHENOMENAL!! It would make nights that much more interesting and beautiful. I hope that comes one day!
I learned about the game after reading an article in Game Informer the day before launch. On launch day I spent 3 hours and hit up a dozen stores trying to find a copy before snagging the final copy at the local Best Buy. I played for about 10 hours (half of that lost in caves) before deciding that it was quite what I was looking for. I liked it and I had no issue with the game but it just didn’t scratch the itch like I expected. I had heard it had some updates so after watching a StarField v No Man’s Sky comparison stream I pulled it off my shelf and tried it again. I now have hundreds of hours over multiple saves and play it several hours a day several days a week.
I've never seen a studio work so hard on a game to make up for it's bad launch. They've earned my respect, and I'm glad I defended them the whole way. I truly like the game, even from the start, but I didn't have the crashes and stuff like others.
I bought it after worlds part 1, absoloutely brilliant game!
And none of these overhaul updates were pushed as Purchasable DLC's... What Chads!! I would not have blamed them if they did. They indeed earned back my respect.
They had no choice. The first game they described is not what they were selling. Not at all.
I remember doing the reverse. Knowing that Atlas was going to be a banger I bought no man's sky for PS4 for $4 at CD exchange. With that new patch the week later it was $50 again used. You can only do that once with a game and that game is no man's sky. You can't buy Halo infinite knowing that it's going to be a banger or a week later. That's a significance of that patch of the turnaround really hasn't been anything like it.
It's insane to me that there's multibillion dollar companies with near infinite budget out there not even coming close to what hello games did and mind you, NO MICROTRANSACTIONS, in 2024, while having 4 currencies in the game which are easily monetizable for them. They just chose to be the good guys in the gaming industry and that is why i respect them so much.
The fact that they kept going until they met, the promise is a respectable achievement because some studios will go out of their way to ignore their customers and avoid accountability
Such an incredible game. Started a new play through about a week ago, a few years after my last try and they have delivered what was initially promised 10 times over. I’m 40 hours in (the longest I’ve ever played) and feel like I’m just at the tip of the iceberg.
I have played the game since DAY 1 and have loved all version of the game.
4k hours later... I'm still exploring, smuggling, raiding freighters, killing bugs, finding new lore, and shoot - ever few months there is new stuff anyway so... it's a never-ending adventure and exploration that I can never thank HG enough for. Yeah, it sucked in the beginning. I was disappointed along with everyone else - but man, it is so good. :)
The current Liquidators expedition is pretty great. 3 weeks left to play it, highly recommended
But there is one major problem with NMS and what Hello Games did. Other developers are doing the same thing now, releasing a broken game and trying to fix it later. The difference with the other studios is LACK OF PASSION for the project. Only 2 have done it, Hello Game and CD Project Red. The rest just left a broken and untrusting gamer.
Started playing a few years ago and now I hopped back on playing every day! The new update is amazing. Finding an abandoned (not outlaw) station was nostalgic AF lol cuz it's layout is of the old pre updated space stations.
What makes it great with the updates is you can come back every year and discover all the new things they implemented
recently started playing it from the world's update & it was a good choice.
Hopefully KSP 2 follows a similar arc
Had this since day 1, a little dissapointed but stuck with it.. believed in it.. I am glad I did.
I absolutely love this game with three files currently in the almost 700 hours mark this is my go to game.
But one thing I noticed of a lot of these catch up and mini documentaries is solely putting the blame on Sony or Sean Murray and hello games.
Not only were Sony and Hello games to blame for the NMS state but also the actual community itself. It seems like the toxicity of the community back then is always overlooked in favor of Sony and hello games but players back then we're very disgusting to hello games... A lot of the pressure came from gamers wanting this game to be released sooner rather than later. down to even hacking and pirating this game and spreading it online.
I'm absolutely thrilled that this game has persisted and has become what it originally was envisioned.
I've been playing NMS since 2017 and I'm still playing it. I always loved it, it's fantastic. I've never played anything like it
i'm fairly certain i started in the next update timeframe, i remember being confused for a while when they added power mechanics and i had to redo a lot of my bases since they now need power, i also remember being completely thrown off as to why every vehicle was suddenly huge
Was bought the game only month or so ago. I'm so happy I was. I'd always been intrigued. But never took the plunge. Now I wish I had years ago.
I first discovered no mans sky a few years back when I started playing elite dangerous
I finally tried no mans sky last year and enjoyed it
But I have not played it since last year
I will have to turn it on and update it to see how it looks now after the latest update!
Bought the game during covid n got stuck at the beginning due to a glitch n nvr played again , just started a new save a few weeks ago n I’ve been hooked , glad I gave it a chance again
I bought the game a year ago.I have been wandering around collecting stuff.I have never seen a ship.The game doesn't tell you what to do or where to go.How do you do anything?I have the VR 2 that I want to try out,but the game doesn't tell you anything about anything.How do you find out what to do?Are you supposed to leave the planet?How do you get off the planet?
Yeah I literally heard about the game back before it released and thought "oh cool" but the Worlds Part 1 trailer is what convinced me to buy the game. I got my brother in law into it and we play almost everyday, its super fun!
Started playing NMS two days ago and I'm loving it!
