If you want to add real value to your game instead of buying an LE, buy the awesome soundtrack:

Cheers for that. Very cool seeing them on the Beeb. It starts at 18:24 btw.
100% True because 9pm PT is 12am ET, which mean it's the 8th for the USA. Which means mine unlocks at 11 pm CT.

Yes, but "on average" for such a huge amount is still such a huge amount that even visiting a hundred planets and each one having life wouldn't exactly go against that ratio. That's not big enough of a random sample to disprove that 90-10-1 ratio
I want them to add a custom starship radio station ala GTA.
Because you best believe i'm going to cruise around the universe with some custom soundtracks. Boards of Canada playlist already locked and loaded.

I'm still mad the LE never came to Canada. If I bought it off Amazon US it'd be around $140 for me.
Spotify on the PS4 got you covered.

How did you start downloading? I preordered on PS4 store and I am not seeing any download option or seeing an active download.

I dreamt about checking the Facebook page of a local game store to see if they already received the game. This can't be healthy lol
I got so excited for a minute!Check your Library, you should be able to download it from there.

If only 1% of planets have life, the probability of hitting even three planets in a row with life is 0.0001 percent. No.
No It's not!
Make sure you actually started the download. People often get confused as PS4 will start downloads automatically *at night*, but if you bought the game today that won't have it ready for the midnight launch.
How you decide whether to preload or not depends if you bought the game on your PS4 or on the website, but just to be sure check your "downloads" section of the Notification tab. If you see it there then obviously it's going even if you don't see it on the main screen yet. If you don't, go to the Library and click on NMS so it starts downloading. It *probably* already is, but doesn't hurt to check.

I've watched Interstellar and Oblivion over the last couple days, love those two movies.

My guess is that this newest stock consists mostly of last minute cancellations or declined cards.
Either way, you've waited 4 years for the game. If you want the LE, what's one more day?

He is now Super Saiyan 4. Transcended.
Just a starter ship that gets you up and running a little quicker. Streamers have said it maybe saves you an hour or so?

Amazon digital gets you a ship. PSN looked like a bundle of avatars.

So eager to see the reviews and impressions! might buy if it's all good.
Still wondering why spoilers are such a big thing for a procedural generated game. Must mean there is something awesome like an earthesque-populated planet in the center of the universe/endgame

Excited for this, but had a chuckle at this in the OP: "No Man's Sky is a game focused on Emergent Gameplay. What this means is simple. The game tosses you in and leaves you to your own. The "Gameplay Loop" is yours to decide. "
That's not what emergent gameplay is. Even the snippet you posted from Google gives a different (and accurate) definition. "Choosing the gameplay loop" is not it. I'm not saying this game doesn't have emergent gameplay (I really don't know, I haven't been following it) but the description of "do whatever you want" doesn't mean the gameplay is inherently "emergent." In no game can you "do whatever you want." They all have rules, abstractions, and limitations that make them playable. But some games (especially Will Wright games like SimCity and The Sims) have emergent gameplay and behaviors despite having relatively simple systems.
Enough of the sidetrack, though. Really hoping this game is good

Hype levels rising. Watching one of the NeoGAF livestreams from the moon in VR.
Things like this have me more excited about VR, than the actual games. Space exploration (like No Man's Sky), realistic ones that NASA is producing, etc..
And it looks pretty rad. I like the X-Wing feel it has (engine placement, fuselage), minus the other 2 foils of course.

What program is that?
Just done with my first session! What an atmospheric game. What an amazing experience. Bullet points from the first impressions:
- Had no idea about mostly anything when I started playing, exploring and piecing it together without any full fledged tutorial was amazingly intuitive, while still requiring a keen eye to understand what's what
- Amazing pacing on the first hours of the game
- Had to push myself to not just continue exploring. It was very much "oh, piece of candy. Oh, piece of candy" until I was far away from anywhere
- Intuitive interactions with other species, both intelligent and otherwise
- Controls feel great
- Intuitive inventory system
Still a bit weary of some of the pit falls of a game like this, in that it might suddenly feel like it's repeating itself. While the creatures I've encountered so far have been fun and unique (One I saw was basically a hippopotamus with tiny butterfly wings that was able to fly), but so far so good! The aliens are definitely unique and won't feel repetitive anytime soon.

VRChat. Hanging out in the room right now. Called it No Man's Sky Livestream. You can jump in if you have a Rift/Vive at vrchat.net
