Actually there's like 30+ hours of story based missions as well as of the last few big updates.
Are you planning to give No Man's Sky a second chance?

No. I dont. I dont agree with how public perception works on them like flipping their coin back and forth so fast. One day they hate them, and the next day they love them. It's kinda uncomfortable how people change so fast
No "we" don't, many thought the game great (including "me") on day one and is even better now.
Yes! This! This is exactly what i feel about this game. It feels like eating my words back, and it somehow doesnt feel appropriate
Never got around to playing it yet. Looks like it has enough content now but I am goimg to wait until the Xbox version is $20 to $30.

So fast...dafuq? It's been years, mate. I've forgiven people IRL for way more in way less a time. It's really not that big a deal.
OT-i bought at lunch and stopped not too far in and have only played it a little when the updates hit. I'm excited to start a fresh game and see how it plays.

I don't really feel like it's fair to continually punish a game if it has been significantly improved. It's like it doesn't matter how good it is now. People feel they must hate it out of principal.
Why do people feel like they can't go back to the game because of the bad launch?
FInal Fantasy XIV was even worse at launch and they rebooted it and people praise the game now.
What is the difference between FFXIV and this? You don't see people in FFXIV threads still going on about how the initial launch was bad and it's shameful to go back to the game despite the improvements.

asmith906 Perhaps put links to the four major updates in the OP so people that are interested to know what's changed can have a look?

A lot. Give the links above a quick glance.
Yeah. I only stopped playing because of other games. Original product was flawed but I loved the atmosphere. With these updates I'm going to dive back I
3 previous updates with Next being the fourth.
They've added base building, a 20+ hour main story, vehicles, updated graphics and flying, freighters and multiplayer off the top of my head. There's a lot more minor details as well but those are the big additions.
I bought it after Atlas hyped me up for $20. Found myself enjoying it immensely, but have given it a break waiting on this update. Coming back all hyped again.
Sure is a fun scam, though.
Seriously, this. People are being way too dramatic over this game.

I uninstalled the game a long time ago. After a few planets it all felt the same. Uninteresting exploration and story, and a grind fest. But I will try this new update. For me the biggest problem is not the multiplayer though, what got me excited in the first place was exploration. But their algorithm to generate new planets, wild life, vegetation, etc just isn't good enough.
I will try it one more time, but If everythings looks too same-y with ridicuolus lego-like animals I will probably give up again very soon.

I mean that's cool but you act like this is the first major update since launch when it's the fourth and the scope of the game, what you can do and areas you progress in are completely different from release until now. If you're going to hard pass, seemingly with pride, then at least make sure it's not from a place of ignorance.
I only put 15 hours into it at launch. I enjoyed it, but there just wasn't enough there. So I'm definitely going to be trying out the update.
Difficult case.
I love everything about the game but its gameplay.
After launching up into the sky first time I never felt there was anything demanding happening. I was flying around a bit here and there and that's it. The storyline feels lame as well.
After two hours it feels like you cannot die in this game if you are not really trying.
I think I am just not into hoarding or pressing L3 all day to 'explore all plants and species'.
I'd love to have a more 'concentrated' game with this amazing beautiful engine. Like only one solar system with a couple of generated planets whose names dont sound like 'fuusslpotukka' or 'flaazabönkaza' where everybody is playing, with lots of npc pirates and stuff to do.
I try to love NMS , but it's simply not my kind of game at all :/

You could try survival mode. As for the other points, did you play recently or at launch? Can't tell if you're talking about the original story or the new 20-30hr one they added.
You might enjoy giving these links a glance over if you're coming back from launch:

YES..!! Finally feel like the seams that's been needing some sewing up have just been adequately addressed enough for me to enjoy a relaxing yet engaging adventure game in there and I plan to dive in as soon as my wallet could spare it. ^^'
I followed the launch mess closely and avoided the game. Could have played it on PC (I'm on PS4), but decided not to after all the bullshit. The game seems to much closer to what it should have been, and while not at the re-releases's full price, I plan to get it for some Xbox One X goodness once it gets around 20-30 Euros. I am allergic to bullshit, but I also believe the dev team paid for the big mouth of their lead (not unlike what happened with Molyneux promising the world while the devs were desperate because they weren't going that far with the game), and the years worth of free updates probably did turn the game around its head, and I'm willing to give it a chance. I've been there for many rocky launches for games that eventually turned around, so I don't necessarily hold grudges.
Played loads at launch, it was fun but never quite lived up to the promise or expectations. Despite having technical issues (game kept crashing on my ps4) I still kept going back for more. I think Shahid blocked me on twitter and a dev freelancing on it unfollowed when I posted my error log, but that was during the time people were crazy about wanting refunds and I think I got swept up with the tide. The updates have all looked to add what should have been there before launch and more, but I think VR support would be the only thing that would get me to seriously go back to this one, I'd start over just for that. I realise it's not happening though.
Sure, they spent years working on free updates to scam everyone over and over. Pffft.
Personally I feel like I invested a lot of time and learned what the game was and what it had to offer at launch. Unfortunately that's obviously when it was in its poorest state and lacked features we were expecting given interviews etc. No matter how great the game ends up, you can't have that time over. If I could somehow erase my memories of ever having touched the game, fine, I'd be all set for the perfect interaction with the game right now after several large updates. But I'd need something more to justify it when I've already got a leaning tower of backlog of sealed games I've never given their chance. Like I said, for me, adding VR support would be that irresistible lure.

I mean, I gave it a second chance with the last major update and I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm already looking forward to the "NEXT" update because so far that game has already turned into a pretty chill game to play.
So as for the poll question, I guess I'm already a fan? ... Even though I stopped playing it shortly after launch and didn't touch it again until the last update?

I haven't read up on the new update, and I am definitely not interested in co-op, but I went and re-downloaded the game.
I have bought it day one, and definitely enjoyed playing it, I certainly got my money's worth out of the purchase. I quit when I realized that there is no ending once I reached the center, so I missed out on all previous updates as well.
But I will start over now, these changes motivated me to give it one more turn.

To me it's looking like No Man's Sky is trying to pull a FF14 A Real Reborn and that deserves some cudoos.
I'll check it out.

I've always been a fan. Even on release there was something about it that made it quite wonderful and it's just got better and better.
What doesn't feel inappropriate? Saying you're not going to play something and then playing it in the future?
