No Man's Sky |OT| Hello Worlds.

Just played for two hours. Don't quite understand interaction with aliens and stuff. Built my hyperspeed drive and got a warp cell for it, but now I have to go to work, so I'll continue when I get back. Sentinels haven't really bothered me except when I try to break into buildings and stuff, but then I just jump in my ship and take off.
their presence definitely varies by planet.
 
My starting planet is relatively normal with a lot of resources and wild life. I've destroyed tons and have not gotten attacked by a robot once. Lots of zinc too! I got really lucky I guess.

I'm really enjoying the game so far but it was a bit overwhelming when I first started. I wish there was a more in depth tutorial.

My biggest complaints so far are the extremely slow movement speed and FOV. I hope there are suit upgrades that will make you move quicker. FOV is trash. They need to add an option to adjust it.
 
it's not for everybody, not by a long shot. If it's for you it will scratch many itches and scratch them well.

Agree, so far at least. This is the beauty of having a small independently funded team: they can make the game they want to make. No hiring of critics during production to make game design decisions in order to get maximum metacritic, no meetings with pubs where they demand this and that, no focus groups telling them they want insta-teleporting back to their ship, etc.

It is great we live in a world where interactive entertainment like Journey, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and now No Man's can get made.
 
Anyone got their hands on the LE yet? Thinking about cancelling mine, the best part of the box art and the Steelbook art is pretty terrible.
 
My starting planet has been pretty peaceful so far. Ran into a Gek trader, could only recognize two words (Gek and give) but giving him 10 credits made him happy.

Spent two hours on my first planet and it felt like only a half hour went by. This game is going to consume me.

Edit:

Is this crossplay? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

It's not the last I read but I don't think it was ever officially confirmed.
 
i can't seem to scan animals...am i missing something ? do i need to find a blueprint for it to scan them ?
Animals and certain other features (being intentionally vague) on planets essentially have their own scanner- L2. It's like a vision mode.

Scanning (L3 or R3 for me) is for resources and POIs.
 
Spent 2 hours in the starting planet, ship has been ready...but don't want to leave yet.

Will go to sleep and think about it. XD

He said in his AMA today that it isn't. PC and PS4 run on different servers.

I'm pretty sure you need to make the analysis visor in your multitool. I don't think it's there from the start, if I remember right. (This is different from the Scanner.)

Also, when using the L2 visor, you can ZOOM IN using the right stick. Sometimes things won't scan unless you zoom in on them enough. This is also useful for spotting distant landmarks.

Yup, I don't want to leave yet. Feel like I have so much to discover still. This game is insane lol.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. Glad I got it on the PS4 then.
 
Thes extremely limited starting inventory bleh

Now I need to make the hyperdrive but I don't understand how to create one of the sub components.
 
Finally. Goodbye, whatever the hell your stupid name was planet.

In space, I don't have to worry about radioactive atmospheres, or cold, or scorpions, or anything. It's just me and the ocean, protecting me.

Now I need something to kill. Barely have enough Thalium-9 to make it around the system but I can try one of the two closest planets.

There's some Beacon with a transmission but eh.......
 
The one thing I'll say is that this game is a lot more fun to watch people stream than most games. Everyone is somewhere unique and having fun making discoveries.
 
First planet had caves everywhere. Only found two animals and I had to walk 13 minutes away to get heredium. Then 13 back. Very easy to survive atmosphere. Second planet was one of those island water worlds. Atmosphere so thick it still looked darkish when the sun was.

Gonna visit the last planet and then warp. Then bedtime.

Flying into space was one of the more surreal moments. Sound is top notch in my headphones. Digging it.
 
It's a craftable that you'll be able to make later.

Thanks!

Those rocks are a great source of fuel haha.

So, can I just exist and everything is saved?
 
Man I'm going bonkers debating whether I should pick this up. I just vibe that I would either love this and become massively obsessed with it, or it will do absolutely nothing for me. I was waiting for the review embargo to end but now it looks like it will still be a week or so until anyone starts getting their complete thoughts out.

Though another factor is I would just like to throw money at some people who are doing an original game concept for a change.

I'll probably break after another day or 2
 
Also I want to know if anyone has just successfully gotten rid of the preorder redeemable ship? I want the message to go away but don't want the ship...

Go to the options menu (OPTION button on the controller) and go to the last tab I think, on the far right. There should be an option to redeem content under the load from checkpoint option.

I.agree with all this, apart from the insta teleport to ship. It needs that badly, not for free it should require heavy resources and a 30 minute cooldown, but wait until you get stuck in a complex cave network for 3 hours with no clue of how to get back to the surface.

Why delay the inevitable and suffer like that without a need in the world.

Save yourself from one or two days of suffering and just go get the game asap.
 
I may have missed it, but with the game now released is the patch that has been mentioned in the last week included in PSN downloads? I don't want to start playing later, only to have to delete my save file to see all the new content/changes.

When does the game unlock on steam?
In 3 days. PC version got delayed.
