Are you planning to give No Man's Sky a second chance?

Yes. It's about being consistent on my words. At least that's my how i always do.
I actually waited until a day or two before release to pre-order. Did it despite the leaks and the disappointment, because I thought that the game seemed to be nice for what it was.
It turned out to be my favorite game ever. I am more excited for the update than for anything else this year.

So if you saw a trailer for a movie or show and decided you didn't want to see it then, you would never decide to watch in the future because one time you said you wouldn't watch?
The core of the game was just never fun and just adding things on top won't make it more fun. Also, im allergic to Sean Murray after what he did to promote No Man's Sky.
Yes. Actually now you have said it, i just realized that's what i've been doing until now. I dont watch movies that i didnt want to watch. I remember back then i was in college, i really hated twilight. I havent watched it until now and i dont have any intention to do it literally. For a show it happens i dont like Revolution, i never watch it until now
Unless of course if they are kinda requirement for my work then it's a different story. In that case i have no choice but to watch it and it is of course of part of profession reason
I played for about 18 hours at launch and enjoyed it for what it was. Never fancied starting again after the updates. I saw the NEXT trailer earlier in the week and decided to start again. It's super chilled and a lot of QOL improvements are very welcome. The patch next week looks very promising.
This game should have been in "early access" for 1-2 years. It's shitty how misrepresented they've released it. Their ongoing efforts at least worked toward the initially sold vision. It doesn't excuse the misleading launch, but it's better than nothing. I think, they deserve a second change.
No, but not out of any malice or hurt feelings or anything. I just feel like I got my fill of the game the first time around.
Did they add meaningful content that is not only about exploration? On that depends my answer to the poll.
Yeah because when a "complete" game comes out it never gets updates
Smh
Yeah they did that with the last update. A 20-30 hour actual story/campaign mode and an Elite style procedural side quest system. The side quests are actually good and impact your faction status.
I'll try it. I don't know why it would be a big thing. It's an update to a game i own. It's whatever.
He promoted what he hoped to achieve. The studio ran out of money, and Murray took out a second mortgage on his house and put company bills on his credit card in order to keep the lights on long enough to launch something. Not what they wanted, but it was either that or shut down the studio and NMS would now be a sad footnote in gaming history. Did they make mistakes, did Sean handle it extremely poorly? No question. Was Sony pressuring them? We might never know. But I think it's clear from two years of tireless work on the game that their passion for this game was real, not a scam. I would think someone in the industry of all people would understand that things go south, lack of experience combined with contracts and corporations can result in things happening that are not at all what you wanted, and sometimes you just have bad luck like a flood destroying your office and months of progress.
This was a terribly ambitious game for 15 people to make in the best of circumstances, and they didn't get to the finish line. But even though Sean could've retired with $50 million in his pocket, the team kept at it despite the abuse and personal attacks to all of them, despite even Shu throwing him under the bus publicly. I have been in difficult development situations, but I can't imagine their crushing personal disappointment and the stress of people constantly hurling abuse on you and the people you work with, all while trying to work long hours every day in hopes that somehow you can make the game into something you can be proud of and something that lives up to the expectations of the community, and maybe eventually redeem the company's reputation.
You can say what you want about his blunders as a spokesperson or the things he said to desperately try to save Hello Games from imploding, but Sean and the team at HG has showed a level of perseverance and passion for this game and its fans over the past two years that has my utmost respect.
There are so many games I want to play right now, so probably not. I put about 30 hours into it on launch and that's enough, really.
Totally. Thought the way the game was handled at the start was a bit of a dick move but everything since has been pretty rad. Life is too short to resent a video game, so since it looks fun I'll give it a shot and play coop with my broskis.
No. People who defend the launch of this game are such fanboys. If you watch interviews of Sean Murray on YouTube, he was straight up lying about the features in the game. It was never people who overhyped it. I dont care how much they update the game, i'm not buying some liars game...
As far as I can tell they haven't done anything to fix my biggest problem with the game, which is that flying from planet to planet to harvest materials to fly to another planet to them harvest those same materials over, and over, just isn't fun.
I thought the game was great at the last update. I've kind of drifted away from playing on PC, but if I were to turn it on, that would be the game I booted up.
I like the idea of bases not being restricted to a certain location any more. Also big on the graphical updates. Not particularly fussed about multiplayer, but the subtle graphics overhauls are welcome.
Only thing I could really want is for some attention to the space aspects of the game. I understand that asteroid shooting is absolutely vital for traversal fuel, but space feels so UNTIDY. It's like flying through cereal.

I enjoyed it for a while at launch and then shelved it, I gave it a quick go when they introduced base buidling.
Depending on what games I have on my plate, I might give it another spin when the update lands, or maybe wait for the next one.
Seems to be pretty feature complete now. But there are two things I'd really like that would draw me to the game :
- Build your own ship. The pieces are already there, itnwould be a cool feature.
- A proper galaxy map, where I can zoom out and see where I am in the universe, and plan trips to specific planets that I have already visited. Last time I played it felt like I was navigating in a dark night lighting my way with a candle. That map is just useless, it gives no sense of your actual position, which should be the whole point of a map in the first place.

It is still really expensive for what it is. Its not a bad game, but I don't think including everything that was promised will make it a great game.
Game feels far too needy for a survival crafting game. I felt I had to spend every second looking for supplies or I would die.

Hopefully. We will see.
I write enjoyed it after the hdr update but I also really liked it at launch as it was pretty much what I expected from not following the hype train and only seeing one or two trailers
You're acting like they were promoting multiplayer days and weeks before launch. The comments about multiplayer were talked about over a year before launch. They obviously had the intention of having it by launch but ran out of time and funds.
Despite that one thing that never changed was his statements about the chance of seeing someone would be very small, let alone your group of friends. It's your fault for having expectations for it to be a game about exploring with your friends when that was never the intention of the multiplayer.
i was really let down how they handled the release. Hello Games and the media jazzed the game up to something it just wasn´t...
i abandoned the game after 15hours. technically it was a nightmare too with crashes every second warp...
that said i will give Next a chance just to see what they worked on.... haven´t played the game since launch, maybe it will present itself as a better, rounder experience this time
I've always been a fan and always jump back in with every new update. So consider me hyped for NEXT.
I always said I'd go back and play if they added multiplayer. Besides I bought the game digital so kinda stuck with it.
Yes. 3rd person perspective is that big of a deal for me. I was never outraged over how NMS turned out though, just found it boring. Not sure if that will change but definitely worth putting more time in to it.
I picked it up again ridiculously cheap after the last major update, and was quite impressed with what they'd done. Considering the NEXT update is free, and a friend of mine is crazy enthusiastic about hanging out in space, I'll definitely give it a shot. Even if the core loop of 'point laser at rock' remains, at least I'll be doing it with a buddy.
Nope, NMS was one of gaming's biggest scams, how were they ever cleared of the deceptive and false advertising lawsuits?
Yeah, the core gameplay is what's wrong with the game, it's just not fun. Was so excited booting it up, wanted to explore exotic planets and see aliens like they always showed in trailers. But I got booted into an empty, ugly planet with ugly creatures that barely resembled living things. "But what do you do in the game?" All I did was shoot rocks to get minerals and manage the smallest and most restrictive inventory in gaming. All the planets I visited were the same ugly shit with some slight variations on the last one. I couldn't even use my space ship how I wanted but wanted to visit the next system to see if the game opens up, after having to gather another resource to juice up my ship for galactic travel, I visited the same shitty planets and then quit. No point in playing a game that makes me repeat the same boring process to see a nonsense ending that wants to me start the same process over again.
The ASA did an actual thorough investigation in to it and didn't just make their ruling based on gamer outrage. That's why.
Eventually after a sale. If Next had launched in say, May, I probably would have gone right back in. Right now it's launching right before an incredibly busy month for PC. Yakuza, Monster Hunter, Shenmue, Dead Cells, Deaths Gambit and WoW BFA are all going to be vying for my time shortly, and NMS just wouldn't make the cut.
Yeah and the ruling was bullshit considering the footage was scripted like that E3 demo that could never be replicated in game.
