Are you planning to give No Man's Sky a second chance?
- Thread starter asmith906
- Start date
You can now build a base and then do the 30 hour main quest. The main focus has always been exploring and upgrading your ship. There's billions of planets, not my fault you explored a few and then assumed every planet was the same.
I'm very curious, so yes I'll boot it back up, even start fresh I think and go for the questline this time. But chances that 2/3 hours in I get bored with the game once again are pretty high.

This was one my problems with the early NMS reception. People poured over every word Sean Murray said to find ''lies" and broken promises but somehow ignored the thing that was stated constantly, for years, which was most planets would be unremarkable and a small percentage would be lush or special. Then they played for an hour or two, didn't see anything cool, and shoved their dicks in the toxic circle jerk with all the others.

Absolutely. I bought the game at launch and put roughly 60 hours into it over the first few months. For the most part I really enjoyed it but then the game-play loop got a bit stale.
I've been keeping up to date with the latest patches but haven't actually played the game since the pathfinder update last year. It'll be good to get back into it and all the new additions sound fantastic.
Now it's just a case of finding the time to play it.

Yeah for sure. I was a day one player on PS4 and liked it enough. Saw it's flaws pretty heavily though and ended up dropping it pretty fast to wait for updates. That led to not picking it up again since. Just pre-ordered the Xbox version to play on my X. Looking forward to starting fresh and seeing all of the updates since it launched.
I have it on PS4 and will also be getting for my X as well.
The support the game has received since release has been superb.
Everyone deserves a second chance when they put that much work in.

Maybe if I can get a copy for under $15 I'll give it a chance. Once it reaches impulse buy range it's no skin off my nose to mess around with it.
I loved the art style and soundtrack, plus the concept was always interesting (even if the final game was but a shadow of that concept.) I've already reinstalled, though, and I look forward to trying the NEXT update. Hope they've finally released the game we all wanted from the start.
I already did. Initially got caught up in the hype and bought it at launch, and was fucking furious with the state it was in so I traded it in. After a few patches and growing goodwill I bought a pre-owned copy probably about a year ago, and am far more impressed by what I've played of it. I might buy a digital copy when it drops to like £9 on PSN again.
I will need to see a breakdown of what the game is to give it a chance. Hopefully someone describes how the story and all the new goodies are in a video review.

I own it, so I'll boot it up again. haven't been keeping tabs on anything though, but why not? I'm not going to not play it out of spite or something as I already bought it.
I can't recall if they somehow announced any VR compatibility with this update? Would be cool for this game but maybe too demanding I guess
Honestly I'm considering it. It has always appealed to me but now that they've added the stuff I'm interested in and I can get it for like 20 bucks, I'll grab it and see what's up.
No. I have way too much other stuff to play now and in the coming months. Additionally a game like Subnautica (which shares a bunch of similarities with No Man's Sky) convinced and hooked me far more than NMS ever managed to do, so I'd rather double-dip here when it comes out later this year on PS4.
Expectations were out of whack when the game arrived, admittedly mostly because of HGs misleading communication, but NMS has always been something different, and a fun sandbox to play around in. I have gone back to it a few times over the past year and its one of the most relaxing games you can play, and its very pretty to look at. I'm looking forward to jumping back in to see whats changed.
Approach the game with an open mind and forget all the bullshit and you'll find a unique game that has plenty going for it,

No it fucking was not. We had multiple in depth gameplay videos show exactly what the game was about before its release. A group of people with no interest at all in the game just decided to grab on to one interview forever to doom the game... Move the fuck on... Jesus...
I've had it since around it first came out, and have dipped in and out over the last few years. The updates have certainly helped keep my interest going over the 2 years or so.
I was always a fan I'd say, never "gave up" on it. But I did stop playing it sooner after launch than I thought I would, and have only played a bit with the updates. Now I'm planning on jumping back in for real, with a fresh save.
Maybe if I find it on PC for $15 or so. Too many other games to play otherwise. I traded in my PS4 version which I got on the cheap a few months after launch.
Nah, but I'm glad it seems like a lot of people are.
I wasn't super upset about the game when it launched, I just realized it wasn't for me. Too many new games dropping to go back to an old one that I've already started before and put down.

If it goes on game pass or something like that I would check it out for sure. Just not worth the time and money right now.
