I've been looking at some of the old media footage of this game (E3 stuff) and after playing the game it's so obvious that all the locations and world in those footage were pre programmed.

I mean every video they showed had a lush planet full of grass, lots of various creatures (including fish and dinosaurs), lots of space ships near the planet (like 10-15), and warping to a new system only took like 3 seconds (this can only happen if most of the parameters are pre set and don't really need to be randomly generated). Even the terrain was perfect as in plain and seamlessly transitioning to a water body (in real game the terrain is very uneven) and there were lots of beacons close together. But in the 7-8 hours I've played 99% of the planets have been barren with little or no foliage, one or two animals here and there and most of them have been hazardous.

Now I always suspected the E3 showings were hand crafted and there is nothing wrong with it because you want to show your game at its best. But the problem is that the kind of experience seen in the E3 videos were what made the game look exciting in the first place. The actual game on the other hand becomes very dull due to the fact that eventhough it does have all of those listed above you never really find it in such a concentrated manner thereby making it less intriguing.

You're basically complaining about the existence of marketing itself. It's the JOB of marketing to make something look exciting.

I'd also argue if what they showed was as bountiful as a lot of people seemed to assume they'd be, it would make them inherently less special to find, and would become its own form of boredom.
 
Been playing awhile, still no Atlas pass. What gives?

Do I find it at the Atlas source marker on my galactic map? How do I upgrade my drive to get me there?I'm still waiting for that Kojima scene.

I landed on my first planet today that had these. I just loot and run like hell. If you're near a building you can hide in it until they get bored.

I found a planet with those pearls all over. I'd fill up with the same method, then go to space station and find a trader who had a +96% markup for the pearls and made a little over $1m a run (normal price was about 33k) so i was making 66k per pearl. I did that a few times and made some good money.

You will get it in the next system you visit after visiting your first Atlas Station. The Warp Drive Upgrades are random, so keep on playing.
 
I resumed my play today and set off to explore the 2 remaining planets in my system. When I looked at them, they were discovered by someone and called "Dalia is a grub" and "Foot foot foot" lol, someone passed through the system I was overnight, that's awesome.

Found this plant filled with this thing called Gravitnio balls. 27k a piece. The robots don't like me tho.

Im sitting on a planet full of things called Vortex Cubes. They are everywhere, in every cave, laying around every base and the sentinels don't care if i pick them up. I just made 6 million in about an hour. I think ill be on this planet for a while...
 
I'll ask again, maybe I'm luckier this time. Is there a limit of how many markers you can have on your map ? Because my trasmission towers are disappearing.

Yes but there is a minor difference.
It is that in most cases you get to play the level that was shown, now granted a lot of games end up changing things by the time they get released (plus downgrades and all etc) but atleast some of the levels you see end up in games, and especially the showings done near the game's release are accurate to the release version.

in case of No Man's Sky we saw these pre generated levels in the media that came out close to game's release and here in lies the difference, that unlike other games you'll practically never really experience the game in the way you saw it in the pre release media.

RNG dun goofed.
I haven't come across a single planet where picking up these valuables didn't aggro big sentinals.
 
I can't seem to get a better multi tool.

It seems like you have to take the next higher slot one no matter what to get new ones with higher slots?

Seems kind of annoying that you don't really ever find anything new but have to keep adding to it and burning through them more than you would want.
 
There's multiple Atlas anomalies as we progress right? My first one is 10 systems in the wrong direction. Can I just forget it and keep following the light to the center?

Money in the bank.
Speaking of banks this game could use one.
 
All the multi tools i come across are worse that the one i'm currently using. :/

Its 8slots and all i can find are 7slots.

Well here's the thing... they don't show up on a scan. You have to walk up to them and look at them to know what they are. I've been to dozens of planets now, and this is a first.
 
I find the game addictive but utterly unrewarding. I'll play for hours but dislike my time more and more as I play ending up with me stopping playing feeling like I've wasted time. Think I might end up selling my copy. The LE is worth £90~ in the UK so I'd almost double my money.

Dude, what is that? Giant flying eel outside of water? I've had glitches where tons of smaller fish would be on land wiggling like crazy on the tips of their noses.

It's not a glitch though. They also have animals the size of cows flying with tiny butterfly wings.
 
Wow, I don't remember the last time I stayed up all night playing a video game, since I usually don't have free time, but I was up until 8am playing this fucking thing. And me and my wife had to go and do something at 12:30, so I only got about 3 hours of sleep.

Now I'm dead tired, watching Stranger Things while I eat lunch, and I should take a nap, but I just want to play more No Man's Sky. I think I've gone mad.

I played it for like 2 hours and returned it and will just play starbound instead. Game play isn't good and the planets and life forms just aren't interesting enough to keep me interested.
 
How is verticality? Any massive mountains that break cloud lines like everest level? Grand Canyon-like ravines? Worried about ubiquitous hills and basins.

Some are some tall peaks but I think they could be much bigger.

On that topic I watched quite a few pre patch streams and then saw it after. The 'universe refresh' had a huge impact on underwater areas.

Would people be happy with future universe refreshes if it added further landscape features but changed their previous planets?

Rarely does a game consume me like this .

It's so fucking relaxing.
Already played 30 hours. Day 1 price already worth it.

Yes whatever makes the game better. They could even do a rolling version history since planet data seems to be non existent. Just visit the 3 different versions of the same planet via a menu/portal lol
