That looks good. I wonder if this is fake as everything else like sun and other shit.

No man's buy finally looks SOMETHING like it was supposed to 2-3 years back? lul.

who even gives a fucking fuck. let it burn.

A lot of people seem to. I'm not a fan of "release now we'll fix later" but I'm always open to a nice redemption story. Especially if it means getting a decent to good game out of it in the end.

Now that I think about it, all my favorite games in recent years have been games that launched in a poor and disappointing state and got updated into something worth playing.

What's there to redeem? The gameplay fundamentally relies on the Gather -> Craft -> Travel -> Gather cycle but its boring and meaningless as hell because there is nothing else to do. It's progress for the sake of progress without rhyme or reason. (Much like the leftist ideology the devs no doubt adhere to.)

patch notes

Honestly i am impressed.

For me highlight is that you can now own whole group of big ships and unlike before those ships have now roles, support, combat, trade etc. So in theory you can make whole armada and fight wars.
I hope they will add more space combat in future updates and AI wingmen.

I just realized that this fucking game has been $60 all this time.

One would be surprised how apologetic some people can be about NMS. I just had a little argument with some bloke who tried to convince me that we should be thankful to the developers that they continue to support the game instead of running away with the money they earned so far. Yep, finishing your damn game people paid 60 dollars for is a privilige in this day.

 

[Gerrard]

Murray should be grateful not because some people gave them a second chance, but because they didn't sure the shit out of them.

The regular price I mean.

SEAN MURRAY IS A BETTER PERSON THAN 90% OF THE CODEX

 

[Tehdagah]

The game with all uptades is 14.08 gigabytes, way less than I thought. It's tempting.

Setting a pretty high bar, eh?

 

[ADL]

Having loads of fun with this, game is 3—4x the game that was shown prior to release at this point. I hope public sentiment turns around so they can start monetizing it a little because I don't see how they can keep updating this for free.

This has only been receiving patches for two years. Imagine if this got the Warframe treatment where development continued for another three or four years.

 

[praetor]

i only wish Elite Dangerous got patches of this order of magnitude that actually improve the game, not just add shitty, shallow grind

 

[Gerrard]

So I'm watching an MP stream and in the first 30 minutes we learn that weather is client side.


Also, all the "amazing" procedural generated clouds I've seen look like they are sped up 50 times.

 

[Perkel]

I don't see how they can keep updating this for free.

just pc alone (and it sold a lot more on consoles):
1,5mln x (60$-40% on taxes/steamcut) = $45mln

divide 45 mln by 15 people

Even if they will work for next few years for "free" they will still be rich and that is assuming they won't even sell one copy (and game is still 60$ !!)

edit: Currently 50% off and it is as 1st place top selling game global on steam

It seems DRM-free version doesn't exactly rank as highly.
https://af.gog.com/news/no_mans_sky_next_update_now_live?as=1649904300

The multiplayer element of NEXT is not yet included in the DRM-free edition of the game. Read more about the delay below:

"From launch, the DRM-free edition of No Man's Sky will include all single-player content introduced by NEXT: third-person mode, upgraded visuals, better base building, player customization, and more.However the multiplayer component will not be ready at launch; we expect it to be released later this year as full multiplayer parity remains in the pipeline. For a small, independent studio, developing the feature across multiple platforms is a hugely ambitious and technical challenge which resulted in this delayed release. Hello Games is however joining forces with GOG.COM to introduce full multiplayer via the GOG Galaxy platform.We appreciate your immense support and patience.

- Hello Games & GOG.COM Team"

Fortunately, GOG is already on the ball.

Although Hello Games chose not to offer refunds over missing game content to our users and instead promised to bring the missing multiplayer content later this year, we understand that some of you might not be willing to wait.

Even if your purchase is no longer covered by the 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, you can contact our customer support team and we’ll issue a refund in wallet funds.

nr 1 top seller on steam again, lol

 

[Gerrard]

Top seller in a time when zero games are released, really quite the achievement.

Today, for the first time ever, we learn that man is not a learning animal.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Is this game now good, or just less shit?

Honest answer please.
