No Man's Sky

[Rahdulan]

Yeah, their approach to fixing the game is just weird. You don't go into seclusion and tweet three times per year when you release updates. You need to engage with what little audience you have left.

IMO their approach considering fiasco of release is right.
Actions instead of words.

Looking at updates they basically are fixing everything that was wrong with release.
There are still huge issues that imo are unfixable but they get with each update close to that selling trailers.

Also:
Owners: 1,035,190 ± 32,078
That is just PC alone and i gather on consoles it sold more.

Game is still 60$ on steam mind you

If a patch makes a game good, but no one plays it, then has a patch really made the game good ?

Their last trailer for just an update has 1 million views..... people will play it.




There still is no game like No Mans Sky, there is Space Engine but its not a game and its not complete either.

People who already bought it and missed the refund window will try out the new update, realize it's the same boring pointless shit and uninstall it. Just like in the previous updates.

Are they still ranting about the infinite universe shit?

No idea, so far they only said it's bigger than their updates so far.

So it is true: You can lead a consolefag to water, but you can't make it think.

If their newest update is bigger than 3 of their updates so far, they basicaly rewrote the whole game, this update is taking a year ! It might be a different game.....

What surprises me that there are almost 800 people playing this still

 

[Lyric Suite]

Somebody needs to tell hipsters that being original and creative takes a shit ton of effort and hard work. Coming up with visions and ideas is the easy part.

Completely retarded and profoundly hypocritical thing to say when Star Citizen, a PC-centric game, is No Man's Sky on elite milking levels. 175 million in cuck dollar! Loads of tards buying up virtual real estate megatransactions in a game that may not even be released, and has no contractual obligation to be released! Kickscammer started in 2012. and what of the projected release date? After numerous delays, none is no longer given. Meanwhile NMS wasn't even crowdfunded, and furthermore I've seen players of varying platforms obsessing over it in equal measure, if not more PC-biased. Space sim games aren't even a console genre to begin with, very much a PC thing.

How embarrassing.

Truth is, 99% of gamers are ill-informed/lacking standards/retarded. OK console gamers a little moreso than PC gamers on average, but still...what a cringey comment.

Anyhow, somewhat unrelated to the above I remember forecasting way back before NMS even released that it'd be shit. They were going all out in marketing. Big marketing budget, alleged "indie"-tier production/development budget of the game itself. Shows the priorities and intentions; it speaks for itself.

 

[hello friend]

yea even scams are better on pc

No, because the two games, and their circumstances, aren't comparable. Unless you think apples = oranges.

The biggest difference is that one game promised tons of stuff and failed to deliver, while the other game promised tons of stuff and has yet to (fail to) deliver. It may do so one day, but even I think that's unlikely.

What I was getting at, is that despite people seeing and knowing that NMS is a scam, people are still falling for it. The jury's still out on Star Citizen, but more importantly I hear that people can actually make good bank on the game if they know what they're doing. Do so you see any money-making opportunities in NMS?

Also, butthurt consolefag is butthurt.

Am not a consolefag. I'm ascended master race: plays primarily on PC, but also emulates console/handheld and doesn't dismiss based on platform but rather the games themselves.

Looks like it they are the same...... Star Citizen is supposedly in the works..... same with NMS, NMS was just released incomplete.

NMS was not a kickstarter project, it was funded by Sony, so they had a deadline, and they had to release what they had back at the time, if NMS was a kickstarter project it would be in early acces or like Star Citizen not released at all.

It is shit because they were trying to use procedural generation in a game about exploration. Everyone (who has a brain) were saying that it's not going to work, and it didn't. Not when everything is procedurally generated.
Players said that, ironically, the most interesting thing in the game is the tutorial (which was handmade).

 

[ERYFKRAD]

There still is no game like No Mans Sky

Because Nu Male's Sky is a game now?

 

[Anomander Rake]

The real issue about this game is not the fact that people are still playing it, the real issue is that there are communities like reddit defending it and not only that - they do not care that they were buttfucked by developers.

 

[mbv123]

When you waste $60 on garbage, you need to cope with that somehow.

there are more gameplay elements than in minecraft...... and if minecraft is considered a game so this is also

Fuck people for liking something I don't like. They should not be able to enjoy themselves if I don't want them to.
