And here I've preordered it on PC and I have to wait until the 12... My only consolation is how much better will it look in my rig :D
cansolo
me too
bushpotato
How does everyone have it? Steam says it doesn't release until the 12th.
ChristopherNixon
I don't really understand the game. Sure there are a million planets, but the game looks boring, why go exploring those million planets?
nortotron
I'm really pleased for you and the developers that you are. I will be joining you at some point.
fatherofpenguinmafia
What's this game about?
SwaglortSeal
I watched probably 2 1/2 hrs of it on twitch and it seems to be meaningless resource gathering on monotonous planets with no real motive 1/2
SwaglortSeal
2/2 Can someone enlighten me with a different view b/c the reviews I've read have all said about the same thing.
warriorjag
My wife is playing the same game right now. She basically had to pry me off it.
OnlyQuietOnTheOutside
What game is it?
DystopianReality
No Man's Sky, or One-Man Sky as it's now unofficially known.

How about now, @OP?
Diabeticdoginaminefield
If your asking if I still like it, yes I have been binge it playing it since the update and was popping in and out frequently before it.
Reviire
If only it wasn't an overhyped disappointment.
ChrisHemsworthsBulge
No thanks, I already own Elite Dangerous. This is too close for me to justify spending $60 for a simplified version in some aspects.
ChrisHemsworthsBulge
And I don't feel like picking up a PS4 for it either XD
diphenhydraminehcl50mg
It's available for PC. And PS4 and PC players will be on the same servers together.
Eanikran
It's out on PC on the 12th and it's been confirmed we are on separate servers
diphenhydraminehcl50mg
I thought that ps4 and pc were gonna be in the same exact universe.

gathering to sell, I can't see really what else this game offers.
Diabeticdoginaminefield
Theres a free DLC coming soon that lets you build bases and other stuff like owning a freighters that you see warping in sometimes.
3dartwork
Right now it feels like 1/2 of Minecraft. Adding the base building should make the other half fulfilled. Not sure the point of freighters
Rohkhos
I thought about getting back on it tonight. Figured I could play for an hour and still get sleep. Then remembered one hour would turn into 4
Rohkhos
But yes this game is absolutely addictive and wonderfully fun.
ImAlwaysRelevantLOL
I literally started at 10pm last night and next time I looked up it was 4am. It felt like an hour had passed
HitlersHornyNippleRing
Meh, it's okay ..a bit grindy and repetitive...
gldstr
I'm on the fence for this game... sell points?! Can I play with friends? Exploring billions of planets alone seems kinda not as fun
3dartwork
Two people proved it was basically impossible because there are multiple "lobbies" when you log in. You randomly are assigned a universe
jineb
Yeah, I understand it'd be unexpected to meet another player due to the "map" size, but impossible to set a meet-up? Maybe later, or (1/2)
jineb
perhaps they face an issue with too many players trying to meet-up on the same planet. Or just didn't managed to make it works. Who knows.
3dartwork
Two people proved it was basically impossible because there are multiple "lobbies" when you log in. You randomly are assigned a universe
jineb
That'd make sense: one big data server for discoveries, several servers for exploration linked to the data server, or something like that.
JustYourAverageNerd
is there anything to do other than exploring, mining, and the occasional fight? serious question.
Atimetraveler

AnAverageBox
Oh, trading
AnAverageBox
No
Brainsplosion
You can buy a new ship once in awhile. Other than that, no I don't think so. Unless they have some super secret features.
EnticingRobochov
You can trade but that's about it. Hello Games has said that they will be making free DLC so hopefully that'll add a bit to the game.
OneMoreLagerAndIMightLearnToLikeYa
Upgrading equipment, buying new ships, discovering the secrets behind the game and your character, it's super deep. Ive been playing all day
3dartwork
That really doesn't sound very super deep. The majority of the game I've experienced is mining/selling/shoot pirates. Upgrade/Repeat
OneMoreLagerAndIMightLearnToLikeYa
Then you're doing it wrong. Do more warping
3dartwork
Okay thanks. That should change everything. Appreciate your help.
Bakedcats
They said that they'll be adding the ability to build bases, aswell as own frigates.
g3r4r
I've heard about this game about 2 years ago, I didn't pay much attention to it afterward... I guess you'd recommend it?
Diabeticdoginaminefield
So far I only have one complaint an that's that the button layout on PS4 is shit and you cannot change it. Buuuut you get used to it.
tachonium
The PS4 system will allow you to remap the controls on any game as an accessibility function.
CookieMonstersCrumbs
It just released today for PS4 (Assholes) PC users get released on the 12th. Day before my birthday!

I can't stand the FOV. It makes me so nauseous. :(
gigigear21
I've heard that they are going to add an fov slider on console
CavalierNique
oh fuck no... please tell me it doesnt motion blur like a bitch. Have you played last of us or the FFXV demo and have they given you nausea?
CavalierNique
more detail: watching another person play these two examples made me quite ill. But when i played the XV demo myself it was ok.
3dartwork
"11 hours of my life that I'm not getting back," indicates you wasted your time, not that you had a good time.....just fyi
lroquoisPIiskin
Just waiting for the 12th now. Kind of wishing I hadn't sold my Ps4 months back.
GodOfTheBumbleBees
I'm happy there will be reviews regarding the depth of the game, before it comes out...
therealdrummer
The system requirements are pretty low, but what do you guys think will run super seamless gameplay? I'm running an i5 and a gtx970
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
That's basically what I have, and I can play pretty much any game seamlessly.. so unless you have only like 2GB of RAM,you should be fine :p
OneMoreLagerAndIMightLearnToLikeYa
I'm getting it on both PS4 and PC because I DONT CARE I WANT TO PLAY IT TWICE AT ONCE
AtomicPotato7
Pc master race
Gismotherogue
The two days will be worth the wait. Even though I own a ps4 this will be much better on PC.
DystopianReality
I'm kind of glad I'm getting it on PC. The PS4 graphics are really not great - lots of disruptive pop-in and visible texture loading.
ImAlwaysRelevantLOL
Plus the modding will be sweet I'm sure. I got it on ps4 because of lack of a good pc. I am jealous
OneMoreLagerAndIMightLearnToLikeYa
The game engine has a lot to do with the way textures appear. This is an indie dev, after all. PC will mainly have improved framerates
OneMoreLagerAndIMightLearnToLikeYa
and textures, of course
JustAnotherMeh
Also the PS4 version has a ridiculously low FoV. Honestly made me want to puke after a minute. Looks like you're zoomed in all the time.
whyisitsohardtofindafuckingusername
That and the frame rate drop. As low as 13 fps
DystopianReality
Oh, damn... I thought it looked kinda spotty, but hard to tell on streams.
thehissilent
Played it for about 5 hours over the past couple days. Once you start feeling it getting repetitive, you jump to another system and 1/2...
thehissilent
...something new pops up: flora, fauna, ships, upgrades, space battles, the Atlas, etc. Looking forward to being able to build a base. 5/7
Mobax
Is base building a thing? I saw a ytube video which said it was not a feature.
Eanikran
The Great Murray confirmed it's getting added in the near future
DanMoshpit69
They are adding it I believe
3dartwork
But to me, it is still repetitive. The visuals may change, but the mechanics are the same. Gather/sell, shoot sentinels/pirates.
UnfortunatelyTheHighKingofSkyrim
But... isn't that every game? Mechanics are a constant.
3dartwork
Not if there is more variety of things to do.
Str8Grizleh
Fuck it. Idc if it's trash anymore. These completely hot or cold reviews are driving me crazy. Gonna go buy this tomorrow and decide myself.

UnfortunatelyTheHighKingofSkyrim
Anytime someone uses the phrase "worst game ever" I usually stop listening. Hyperbolic bullshit gets annoying fast.
jineb
It seems reviews have been spammed by PC trolls and also players that realised you can't play it coop style (seems impossible so far).
Str8Grizleh
Why would coop be impossible?
jineb
Impossible as not implemented, not as not doable. What they could do is adding a small lobby (2-4 players) option, would be nice. They (1)
jineb
can't only have one server, but they didn't specify you wouldn't be able to lobby with someone. Is the game based on individual lobbys (2)
jineb
sending discoveries datas to one server, or several lobby servers echanging discoveries datas, or else? Still unclear.
jineb
(+) And individual lobbys doesn't mean you're not able to invite one or two players (just need a good internet connection).
Bakedcats
I'm enjoying it aswell. Though I do wish you could meet up and explore with people.
Textuality
That's one of the main reasons I'm not that interested. I get bored of "wander and explore on your own" games pretty fast.
Varenvel
i get feeling this game will get boring incredibly quickly because of that lacking coop element. it could be amazing game with it
Bakedcats
You'd think so, but the vast amount of thing to be found and explored is great. Especially uncovering and learning alien languages.
justasomeone
whew there is coop i'm/we're in

Thank you
3dartwork
What are the primary things you've done in the 10 hours in game?
OzMalka
Painfully collect small amount of materials to repair your ship.
OzMalka
Go back to your ship every 4 minutes because the planet is too damn cold to survive more than 5 minutes with your combinaison.
OzMalka
Flee from rampaging mini bugs because you haven't collected enough to fix you gun.
DystopianReality
The lack of any kind of real-time player interaction is a huge disappointment, especially when it's been mentioned repeatedly.
diphenhydraminehcl50mg
Yeah by the hype train, the creator has said over and over to go play Destiny or something if you want real multiplayer.
DystopianReality
If by the hype train you mean the dev team and Sean, then yes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE0nuW-mQ8A
diphenhydraminehcl50mg
He did say several times it was unlikely.
DystopianReality
Unlikely =/= impossible. It's currently impossible.
Minitehmeistro
They repeatedly said that you could basically never meet up IIRC
DystopianReality
But the reality is that even if you're in the same place at the same time you cannot see or interact with other players.
Minitehmeistro
But what I'm saying is they never ever said this would be a thing and I don't know where people got that illusion from
DystopianReality
We got it from Sean Murray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVrDaudzn64
Bakedcats
Agreed. Not like a multiplayer game but at less seeing in passing.
DystopianReality
Yeah, well... single-player games are fun, too. I'm resisting the urge to cancel my PC pre-order and just try to enjoy it for what it is.
ThatOneGuyOP
I think that when you do meet some one it will be extremely rewarding.
DystopianReality
But you can't. At all. There is no possibility, even if you're in the same place at the same time.
spudcosmic
You can't, there is no multiplayer. The only think is data sharing, like naming things.
Shylo132
Think spore but with actual people playing.
spudcosmic
Spore had creature sharing, if you like anthropomorphic dongs populating your worlds.
whiskeyandcigarettes
I feel sorry for pirates. They spend all that time looking for treasure but don't see that the real treasure is the friendship that made //
whiskeyandcigarettes
// along the way. Damn it. Didn't fit one one.
Getty13
They repeatedly said that you COULD meet up. But it would be VERY unlikely, it's basically a single player game that everyone contributes to
DystopianReality
And the "could meet up" part turned out to be untrue. It's been pretty thoroughly disproven now.
wobbu
yeah except you can't meet up
spudcosmic
If by very unlikely they meant impossible, sure. But seriously, it was misleading advertising to sell preorders.
Sammyv17
People hear what they want to hear. They've always said it's not a multiplayer focused game.
Krikr
"what they want to hear" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE0nuW-mQ8A
Howdoilife
People will eternally bitch about wanting multiplayer even on strictly single player games like Subnautica.
FBIhere
Yes, because the draw of the medium (games) is interaction, and multiplayer, if done correctly, will always increase the level of 1/2
FBIhere
2 possible interaction within the game world. It may not be one's preferred interaction, but increased interaction is always better.
dualmonocles
Can you not intentionally meet up with friends?
OneMoreLagerAndIMightLearnToLikeYa
You can, but it would take a LONG ASS TIME MOTHERFUCKER
nozerohero
Well, yes and no. You can't see other players in the game, only what they've discovered.
ZardBrood
Sadly no. Couple guys found out they were in the same system, went to exact same coords, and nothing. Both sides streamed it.
ZardBrood
However neither Sony nor the devs have confirmed out denied real time interaction. Could have just been servers dead from launch. Who knows
Thunderkeyz
Imagine this. You're in the ocean in a boat, You're friend is also in the ocean in a boat. You have no idea where they are. Good luck!
spudcosmic
FYI, the game is not multiplayer. They vaguely said the chance was low, but that was just a ploy to sell preorders.
OneMoreLagerAndIMightLearnToLikeYa
No it wasn't a ploy, there is a low chance. Today 2 players found each other on stream.
ringadingdingbaby
They couldn't have, it's stated as single player only.
BeardKhan
Is there no galaxy map?
Thunderkeyz
Considering its basically infinite worlds it would have to be a pretty fukin big map
ImAlwaysRelevantLOL
Yes. Filled with 18quintillian planets and no indicator of where your friend might be
BeardKhan
"Im in X arm of the galaxy. Oh cool Im way on the other side. Meet you near the core"
ImAlwaysRelevantLOL
It's actually impossible. 2 players on reddit coordinated a meet up. They were at the exact same spot. Neither of them saw each other
akom
DaulPirac
There was an update and they said that they actually got to meet each other after several attempts. It's very hard but not impossible
Braethias
source?
ImAlwaysRelevantLOL
Thats good to hear. Still stupid it's not easier to do. It doesn't need to be an MMO but exploring with a friend would make 1/2
MichaelMcShwanagan
Was scared the game was big and story-less as this might make me more nihilistic. 10hrs in and I'm pleasantly surprised the story is vague
3dartwork
What are the primary things you've done in the 10 hours in game?
MichaelMcShwanagan
Both vague and detailed at the same time. Like destiny...
NipplesNCream

pashka555
Destiny? What is it?
51CorgisInABar
It's what you are fated to do, but that's not important right now
OtterAvalanche
Yeah, don't open that bag, dude. It took a year of my life. I honestly almost look at it as an addiction.
DystopianReality
Destiny was another game that could have been great, but wasn't.
OtterAvalanche
Thank god HoW and TK release was bad enough to shock me out of it.
TheLastOfTheGood
I already have elite dangerous.
PiercedBronson
some people don't.
nortotron
I had to buy Doom just to break the Elite cycle.
TheLastOfTheGood
After a while playing felt like that time I drove from Connecticut to Texas.
Maxxbod
Especially with the community tasks, where just travel between two systems for getting food or other stuff, just to climb up the ranking.
cleveranduniqueusername
It's cheaper and probably more open.
spudcosmic
Space engine is cheaper at the cost of free and has more space features and a bigger universe. Kind of lacks gameplay though.
AzureDoom
Their similar if you bought it recently or got the expansion for another $40 but if you have the base game their not similar
GreenFox
I'm glad to see a comment like this that isn't crazy down-voted. I'm often disappointed by the Elite hate. I love Elite.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I feel like most hate for Elite comes from the Star Citizen community, trying to argue "their" game is better.
Philliephil
Release a game and we'll talk. A game not a demo.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
And people who get upset about the pricing/release model of Elite.. "$40 for an update?! I WANTS IT FOR FREE!! BLUAWAAGHGARGGH!!!"
ScrapCode
ED's planet content was a huge let down imo NMS has done a much better job at it (ED's ships are cooler though)
heyblackwolf
True but they're also a lot harder to acquire.
helgur
yeah, let's hope they put in entry on planets with atmospheres i the near future. would play the shit out of that
ScrapCode
Word
cocksparkle
I thought horizons (the DLC that costs almost as much as the damn game) added that?
ScrapCode
It added planet landings but they are all just lifeless rocks with an outpost or two on them quite lame for the $50ish
cocksparkle
Glad I didn't buy it then. As much as I love ED, I just can't justify that price at all for a DLC that adds what seems like so little.
helgur
only for atmosphere-less planets and moons so far =/
LikeABonerInSweatpants
I'm currently grinding towards 240 million cr so I can have my dream python
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
What's your profession(s?) for grinding, and how much do you grind per hour on average?
LikeABonerInSweatpants
Opportune bounties (guys interdicting me) and trading/deliveries. Do about 300k/hr it's not the best but it's fun.
Gunsling3r
Analyzing markets and finding lucrative trade routes can net you like 400k per hour if you have the right ship and don't crash
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
lol.. I mine at 1.5M per hour.. at least, when I last played it a couple of months ago.. hope the update didn't break that
Gunsling3r
I got into an anaconda by trading roughly 900k per hour like 6 months ago, but there's not enough stuff to do so I stopped.
LikeABonerInSweatpants
Is mining really that lucrative? Shit, I'm in the wrong business
Ijustsigneduptoupvotethis
As much as I love to get elite I fear that it might be to technical to get into like x3, this seems more like freelancer.
GreenFox
X is highly technical with RTS elements. That's not what Elite is.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
1/ Elite is a spaceship simulator with a lot of things in the world you can do, each of which take time to learn. It's the learning process
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
2/ that is part of the fun. Pretty much every facet in the game is relatively easy to learn, but hard to master. But again, it's mainly a
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
3/3 space(ship) simulator. That means the bulk of the game is flying around, which a lot of people find tedious/boring.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Also, it looks gorgeous and the sound design is absolutely phenomenal, which really helps with the immersion :)
SossidgeRole
it's not that technical beyond having the OPTION to turn off flight assist, where fighting gets real interesting, give elite a go
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I hardly ever fight in Elite. I just like to put on a podcast, have some drinks, and zone out while mining the shit out of some asteroids ^^
SossidgeRole
you're a beautiful person, i once disappeared into the cosmos in an asp, totalled like 100 hours flight time on a massive survey mission
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I once spent a night exploring. But I got sick of jumping, scanning and scooping all the time. Mining is a lot more relaxing and lucrative
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Mind you, I'm not an easy prey. I can blast most pirates out of the sky. Not the bigger ships with elite pilots.. yikes, those are scary
