You're the rare kind of a gamer who knows that a game can be good and enjoyable, without it being DA BESTEST, AMAZINGEST GAME OF ALL TIMEZ. Stupid people's hype killing my mood for games faster than developers can ;_;

Precisely. Don't really care if this game will be the start all or the end all, I just want to kick back and explore what's out in space.

I knew from the very beginning that this game was too hyped. I am not saying this game will be bad, but people were going nuts over, say, the infinite planet system. That's nice and all, but it comes off as a turn off for me because it sounds like there won't be nearly enough unique planets and a lot of them will simply be variations of the unique ones.
I've never pre-ordered a game and will continue not to. I'll wait for 3-5 days of review to get a solid idea on a game before buying.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I agree. I want to play it, but I don't mind waiting a few weeks/months until I've read enough about it to see if it really is worth it.

Don't people are afraid of the term infinite?
My mind can't wrap it around.

It seems like the game would get repetitive real quick.

Oh, I forgot the poll option:
I only want it if it's free. Where's the giveaway!?
Comment has been collapsed.
wasted $1300 in nothing... i wouldn't trust that guy's word, he's obviously insane
and no, I'm not interested any more.
Comment has been collapsed.
It makes me wonder what that guy does for a living. Is he so rich that $1300 is no big deal? Or maybe he's hoping to earn most of it back from youtube subs/revenue someday? I dunno.. But yeah you've got to be slightly crazy to spend that much.

Can you add a poll option for "Waiting for a sale price, plus the first 2-3 patches"? That's where I fall. Once the first few patches are in, and the game is down to $40 USD, I will probably pick it up. I don't really care about reviews or hype, it just looks like the kind of game I would enjoy.

I probably wait and maybe by the game of the year version when it's released a year or two from now. I've been waiting for GTA5 and Fallout 4. It really aggravates me to buy a game that's missing parts and then pay extra for those parts. I'm not sure if this game will be that way but it seems to happen quite frequently on the big box games.
Comment has been collapsed.
probably the part that annoys me the most is how every planet has life, that is in any scientific way impossiblessed, yeah, that impossible. I kind off was more interested in the crazy kind of planets one could find, like a planet that is mostly volcanoes, or a planet that is just frozen "water", or a planet that has a locked orbit so one side is freezing while the other one is really hot.
still gonna get it tough, eventually.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, that's quite disappointing. I had imagined a good balance of some lifeless planets with resources to mine, some with a few odd little creatures running around, and some brimming with lifeforms. I wonder if it's something they'll patch?
Comment has been collapsed.
Imagine the patch. They guys, we changed 10.000 planets to uninhabitable on your feedback, good job finding them out of the 1964923865829365 :D
Comment has been collapsed.
They could have some kind of scaner that'd find circumstellar habitable zones. So players could find them on their own.

I'm keen for this game though I haven't really read or watched much about it. I did see a short clip today about how it's actually not just single player as listed on the Steam page but they chose to list it as that because supposedly the universe is so big you will not likely encounter anyone.. Don't know how I feel about that. Will win or buy it cheap sometime.
Comment has been collapsed.
Even if you do encounter anyone, you can't actually see them. You will never see the model for another player or their spaceship.

I was originally hyped for this game when I saw how beautiful it was, but what has really turned me off the game was finding out it's a procedurally generated survival sandbox. We already have so many of those, I feel as if the game would have so much more potential if there was a smaller but more fleshed out open world with an actual storyline. Plus I really hate survival sandbox games. They're rather pointless (IMO) and just exploring and trying to survive is going to get boring very quickly for most people, especially since the game isn't even multiplayer. With all the hype it's getting I feel as if it'll blow up and many people will be disappointed, which is so unfortunate.

Looked nice back then, looks totally same right now, still not released. And the price was risen by developers because they are finally going to release it. Actually looks like Spore - much hype in the beginning, but now the hype is dead. So yeah, probably one of those boring games that you kinda play cause it's cool to do, then in a week or two get bored with it because it has nothing fun to offer.
If I see some interesting action going inside the game where you actually have to use your brains then maybe I'll buy it. :p

There's a few folks on Twitter claiming console copies of it are on the shelves at Walmart right now, dunno about that though. I have seen Wallyworld ignore release dates on frigging everything so it wouldn't surprise me too much tbh.

I pre-ordered it on Steam months ago & after watching the leaked gameplay I am still happy with my decision. While I am excited to play it & am in no way hyped for it. Hyping will only lead to disappointment when the game doesn't live up to your overly-hyped expectations. If I'm given everything that I've seen in past videos then I'll be completely happy with my purchase.
Comment has been collapsed.
People expect so much for $60 these days, LOL. $60 will pay for a movie date with a girlfriend, or dinner at a "decent" restaurant with her where I live.
This game ticks all the boxes for me and everything I've read leads me to believe I'll have fun playing this game, and that's what matters. Someone gifted it to me, but I was planning on purchasing it anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree with the restaurant price, but holy moly, where do include in the movie date for 60$? o.O (I know, countries - but here you can get good food for two for 30-40, let's say wine and dessert bumps it to 60. But movie tickets are ~7 each. I guess the relation is kinda the same :D Or you include a dinner before/after movie?)
Comment has been collapsed.
Night-time movie tickets are $15 each here. Large soda is $7.50+, and popcorn about the same (inflated movie prices). A movie for two with snacks can easily top $50-60. :X
The $60 dinner is just a "decent" restaurant, too. The nicer restaurants can easily set you back $100+.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I didn't calculate soda and popcorn in :D And kinda same with restaurants :)

I won it months ago in a giveaway, and I intend to play and review it.

and it's only 11 days to come !!!

when I saw the first reveal trailer years back it looked like something I'd greatly enjoy, envisaged as it has been on the love of space and exploring and scifi, and yeah, still looks like that to me. I wanted it simply because I wanted it based on what I originally saw of the game and the viewpoint behind it, and I still do. It's unfortunate that some people have only just realised it's a video game and not something that transcends its medium, but hey! that's life.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm interested in the game, but never really got too hyped for it as I'm not really sure what to expect in terms of gameplay. The trailer looked nice, but still somewhat familiar territory that some other games have ventured into and the actual gameplay seemed a big ambiguous. My plan for it has always been to wait till impressions come out and probably to get it on a good sale, as I have other games that are currently higher on my hype ladder.
If you are super interested in the exploration and atmosphere of No Man's Sky though, I highly highly recommend Subnautica. Before buying it, I didn't realize that Subnautica was actually based on an alien planet... and boy, they really nail the atmosphere and feeling of survival/exploration in that game, and the alien flora/fauna you find are beautifully awe inspiring as well as frequently terrifying. :)
Subnautica apparently is still on sale right now for another 10 hours, a really great deal at $11.99 USD and quite playable despite its early access status.

Great suggestion. Subnautica has been on my wishlist for a while!
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, as a bonus, I know your little one is still a little too little just yet... (that's a lotta littles)... but my kids have been fascinated watching me Jacques Cousteau around the Subnautica oceans, though a bit young/fearful to venture out on their own in it just yet. It's also got a non-violent bent, as the developers have purposefully made it such that the weapons are not intended to kill the fauna (stasis fields, repulsion rifles, that sort of thing). There's also a great underwater homebuilding aspect to it which both my kids and wife enjoy, once you can gather the materials to make a habitat builder. :)

That sounds pretty awesome, definitely one I'll get someday.
And thanks for thinking of me and my new daughter, very thoughtful of you! :-)

It seems like an interesting concept and no doubt many people will find it fun, but I don't find the concept fun. Still going to read reviews to see if it is going to be fun.

Damn you lucky son of a... ;-)
Are you able to preload it yet? When can you actually play it?
Comment has been collapsed.
no preload available yet, will be able to play on 10th Aug I believe, or 9th Aug if I use VPN and cross region play will work (it did with some games in the past) as on 9th it releases in US.
as to answer your poll question - I never preorder, but was very intrested in the game so would wait for initial reviews and if it didn't turn out to be a big pile of sh*t would buy / trade for it probably. From what I read ion comment you posted - I am not dissapointed. There seems to be bugs so not sure if I will jump in to play a lot from the very beggining, but the game itself sounds to be fun with actually a lot of different things to do (and I was worried it may not, just showing us best stuff in trailers and 90% of the game we don't see being boring filler). So if we count my win as preorder I am satisfied with what I read and happy I already have it :>

I'd guess some of the things the guy mentions will be addressed by the developers. But to be honest it looks like a game I would enjoy for sure. Even if it is "only" 30 hours, that's more than enough if it's entertaining. Unless the reviews reveal many glaring faults, I will buy it when it's a bit more affordable.
Comment has been collapsed.
I recently bought I am Setsuna. Before it was released I was told by tens of media outlets that the game was 20-25 hours long. I've now been playing it for 79 hours and still haven't finished it.
Conclusion: Don't let other people make their mind up for you. two experiences are very rarely the same.

I think it's really up for personal preferences. Skyrim can be completed in less than 10 hours if someone goes straight for the obvious end-goal (main quest) but can easily spend around ~100h in vanilla.
While I'm almost sure I can't run NMS but one thing makes me almost cringe about some fans (maybe the problem is with me) - I actually see a person say "Oh what a nice ridge on that mountain, this game looks awesome". HOW. I get it that people - ocassionally me too - like Eurotruck Sim because it does something, while not overbearing, but how can people get hyped about a landscape-simulator. Yes, he was saying this on a trailer that was all about how the planets look like. Not what you can do, but how they look like.
I could get behind the goal, to reach the centre of everything, to upgrade stuff. If there are factions, races, traders etc that's awesome. But why is it good that we have n+1 planets (if I remember well, you can walk around the whole globe) if majority of it is nothing - it's like "we have a gameplay area of 1000 km^2 in which 998 is a forest. Have fun!
I guess we have to see what the game actually is... I just have too strong Evolve-vibe to it. Evolve's mantra was the "DLC". NMS's is "procedurally generated" and "exploration" with so little emphasis on what can one actually do that it makes me worry, even if I didn't buy it.
Comment has been collapsed.
as for running NMS, it seems that minimum requirements for it are actually pretty low (beside 8 gigs of RAM, CPU and GPU requirements are ultra low for nowadays standards - i3 and GTX 480), also keep in mind that it's possible to run many games below minimum requirements (I personally don't meet minimum requirements for many of newest games - like Witcher 3, Dark Souls 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider - yet I was able to tweek them to run just fine on 30-40FPS just with 720p resolution ;p). I'm not saying game will run for you, but when it het released if you are intrested you may do a reseqarch (there are usually many reports on reddit) to see if it cvan be run on your system ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Not a bad idea, and absolutely true. I'm just really unsure how the game will be. For example I love Terraria, but I would love it even more if there would be more in the world than giant trees and a few houses underground. It's thrilling to explore ruins, remains of a city or such - just wlaking in nature doesn't make the cut for me
Comment has been collapsed.
then wait for reviews after release ;) Never preorder anything no matter how good it looks ;) I wouldn't preorder it either (even as it looks really good for me, but I'm for example am not biggest terraria fan but I am very intrested in whole space travelling and space exploration, even if I discover an almost empty planet it is intresting aspect for me ;p), I simply managed to win the preorder copy, so if I paid nothing I don't mind, but never preorder- wait for reviews ;)
(only situation when I can consider preordering is if game is multiplayer only like MMO for example, contains leveling and you wish to play with your friends and you want to start at the same time so you're more or less the same level ;) )

The long-awaited No Man's Sky is almost here.
But as some of you may have read, a leaked copy was sold early, and one man paid $1300 for it.
The owner played the hell out of it, streamed several videos and has posted his thoughts and findings on reddit.
Among his observations, he mentions several bugs and strange design choices, and a lot of people are very surprised that he reached the center in a few days, much quicker than the devs had suggested it would take.
When this trailer first came out 2 years ago, I was blown away. I loved the look of it, and like many others I got wrapped up in the hype and everything about the game sounded perfect.
Personally, I always wait a while after new games are released, to see what everyone thinks of it, to read a few reviews, and to wait for those day-1 patches that are becoming too common these days. I'm still very interested in it, but probably gonna wait a while before buying it, if the reviews are positive. But I wanted to see what everyone thinks about it. Did anyone pre-order it? Are you buying it on PC/PS4?
