Pretty sure the game is a constant resource/upgrade cycle type grind. |

I decided to cancel my Amazon order and grabbed the digital version off the PS Store. It's installed and ready for Tuesday.
Here's the first patch http://www.no-mans-sky.com/2016/08/update-1-03/ I've avoided all the leaks so far so I'll be going in fresh. |

Ok, took me a while to get up and running. I had to figure out the mining tool. Off and running. Once I get my warp drive going, it should be really awesome. I loved how it took 10 mins of flying time, (w/o my warp drive repaired) to get to the next planet. Awesome work so far.

Shouldn't you just name it "Chiefs"?

Played for one hour last night, and 2 hours this morning. It is the game that was promised. Each planet is procedurally based, with different life forms, weather patterns, and small "objectives" to locate. These can range from becoming more familiar with an alien language to open up trade options, to finding upgrades to your ship, suit, and weapon. The music is great, changing to fit whatever is happening on screen. The graphics aren't fantastic, but the artwork is unique and some planets have lots of color. The sense of scale is incredible; these planets can be absolutely huge, and would likely take real days, or weeks to walk across.
That being said, this game is clearly not for everyone. It has a very relaxed pace to it, and nearly no sense of direction. You are dropped into the game with minimal button prompts and actions, and only one true objective. There aren't really side quests along the way like Fall out 4, nor is there a lot of combat besides dealing with sentinels and rare(I haven't seen it) aggressive life forms. If you enjoy resource gathering, exploring, and the "equipment upgrade feedback loop", this is definitely a game for you, or even if you have a strong interest in sci fi and space, there is something to be said about exploring an infinite universe. While this game has a casual feel to it, I think there is enough mechanics and the survival elements to say this game isn't for very casual players. I really dig it, but enjoy off the beaten path, non AAA games, so take that into consideration of you are a Call of Duty, Assasins Creed, Madden type of gamer. |

I just don't know if cataloging a new species and looking at the nice view is going to cut it after the first few hours. |

Like Beauford said, this game is not for everyone. You have to be a SciFi/exploration fan to really enjoy it. I've always been a nerd for this sort of thing, so I enjoy it very much. But, I am sure there are plenty of disappointed people out there today with even more coming in the next week.
I've been waiting for last night for a while, so I played through the night. I haven't made too much progress travel-wise because I keep getting side-tracked. There really isn't much of a specific quest, but that doesn't mean there aren't things to do. If mining, trading, travelling, exploring (and A LOT of those four things) at a slow pace aren't your things, don't bother with this one. If they are? You're in for a treat. But I really don't think there's much of a middle ground, people are either going to love it or hate it. This is the kind of game where you sit down with time to waste, grab a few beers, and let the game play itself out. |

I've so far spent four hours doing nothing but exploring my starting planet. At this rate I'll make it into space sometime next month. Just kidding. Sort of. Ship's been prepped for flight a couple hours but I keep getting more unknown location prompts. Surprising variety so far. At least three kinds of ancient artifacts, a couple of abandoned outposts, a couple of manufacturing plants, a few shelters, a hub that looks like an airport with multiple landing pads and a big seating area with a galactic market terminal, about 20 korvax language markers and what seems like about 50 waypoints. And I'm guessing I've actually explored very little of the surface area.
Love it so far. |
