Wow.....its a train that doesnt stop.
Im seriously impressed. NMS is one of my go to games when i crave sandbox survival crafting.

 

[John Bilbo]

Boom! Installing the update right now.

[Lokaum D+]

the game that keeps giving

 

[Gonzito]

I am glad people like this but I dont see the appeal. This game was supposed to be a game about exploration, finding weird things and having a sense of discovery. When I try these updates, I have a list of mundane grinding things to do to keep me busy but they feel hollow

I dont know if its just me but I feel like these guys are focusing on the wrong things to improve the game

[Cyberpunkd]

I think it's finally time for me to buy this game.

 

[diffusionx]

I finally bought this game on sale, but haven't loaded it up yet.

One day Ill load up a 6 hour podcast and try it out.

 

[Kerotan]

Could you imagine they do a PS6 version of this that supports drop in co-op?

 

[FoxMcChief]

I think it's finally time for me to buy this game.

It looks pretty good on the Switch 2.

 

[Mozart36]

It's nice and everything, but where is Light No Fire Sean?

Thats what fans of the genre want. Mystery aspects are long gone now and I agree, it's why I dont think I'll ever return. The Forest games are more suited for you, if you havent played them.

 

[FoxMcChief]

That's kind of where I'm at. And I hope that game has an actual purpose and fun gameplay. NMS can be fun, but it really matters how much fun you have to create for yourself. NMS is like Minecraft, imo. They're deep with giving the players creative things to do and build, but shallow is raindrop when it come to actual gameplay.

 

[Disciple of MSSP]

I wish I had time to commit to this. It looks fucking insane and I'm happy for folks that can enjoy it.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

One of my most played games. I love it so much and the free updates never end.

Playing it in VR is one of the most relaxing things you can do, it's so good.

Legendary game

 

[hollams]

I've tried multiple times and get about 20 minutes in and get tired of the crafting. I need an interesting story push to go explore and the game just isn't being developed that way so it's not for me.

 

[Germuso]

Looks cool but I hate farming.

I was one of the ones who preordered No Man's Sky and bought into the hype. I was one of the first people to experience the colossal letdown when the stuff they promised wasn't actually in the game. I shit-talked No Man's Sky to anyone who cared, because the expectation did not remotely match the reality.

But then the developers did something insane. They admitted the screwed up, and they kept giving free update after free update to fix their screwup. It took time, but they finally made the game a great game to play. I'm thrilled I got to experience that. Most of the time developers who colossally screw up like that will give up on the product and move on.

Very rarely does a developer mess up this bad, and then fix their mistake. It's akin to Cyberpunk 2077, and it's awesome when developers take ownership for an expensive mistake, and then they make it right.

 

[Fess]

I never left so I'll just keep playing

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Snowrunner in space!

I still haven't caught up with the last five updates

I wish my old man could see this, I think it was his most played game, and that was version 1.0. This stuff would've made his head implode.

 

[nkarafo]

How overwhelming this game is gonna be with all those expansions for someone who never played it and wants to do it now for the first time?

I've been playing it for years and I genuinely believe the new onboarding process is the definition of the word tedium.
It forces you to do lots of different stuff before even giving you the chance to leave the planet, which is the entire point of the game.

So yeah it can be quite a bit overwhelming I feel, but more because of how poorly the first few hours are set up.

 

[Deerock71]

A game that feels like quicksand to my time...

 

[Dr.D00p]

It keeps giving me numerous reasons to play but the same reason not to....its just unfocused and boring after an hour or two.

 

[tylrdiablos]

Agreed.
I kinda wish they've moved the devs off this and over to Light No Fire.
NMS has had plenty of updates over the years and we've not had much news about Light No Fire in a while.
