Apparently they are pushing it literally against deadline I wouldn't be surprised if there was no preload for PC.

D'oh! I'm off on Friday but working the weekend so was hoping to get the full day playing. I hope I can at least start the download as I go to bed Thursday night.

It's not that bad, the game is so small you can download it in a couple minutes anyway.

EDIT: apparently key reseller won't have the game available, I was just issued a refund from instant gaming.

Can you transfer stuff between Multi Tools, too?

Every time I get a new one, I'm pissed I've some of my old perks.

Yeah I just did that. You can't transfer upgrades but what you can do is dismantle them on your current one for resources and then remake them on the new one once you equip it.

With my potato connection downloading alleged 10GB of NMS will take me several hours, but that is rough deal given by having not-so-good connection without availability for better.

I feel you, in this day and age slow internet should be punishable by law (not for the end user, of course).

Hopefully they'll allow pre-load a little earlier than release time, so people with slower connections can get the game.

Morrowind is the right analogy, we are now officially buddies! ;)

Man this game is so good. It's vanilla flavored at the moment and I've never tasted vanilla like this before, maybe first time playing Destiny only this game actually gives me a usable flying spaceship. So good.
Named that dusty barren planet Ald'Ruhn :)

Yeh a huge class action lawsuit is coming and they will have to give refunds to the thousands of angry people who never bought the game in the first place.

About what exactly?

I mean, I am disappointed in the game, but I don't think anything in a video game would make me even consider a flipping lawsuit FFS.

This current planet is barren and toxic with dead outposts everywhere. It's fun hopping from base to base trying to get the plutonium to keep my suit going.

see, that's super weird, i NEVER had an issue finding plutonium or carbon.
I'd recommend charging your suit and multi tool with carbon and saving the plutonium as 'rocket' fuel.

Every planet that has at least some sort of flora would yield plenty of carbon.

Yeah I just did that. You can't transfer upgrades but what you can do is dismantle them on your current one for resources and then remake them on the new one once you equip it.

are you refunded the full materials when dismantling an upgrade?

Devs promised extensive MP where players can see each other, but didn't deliver.

I think that is issue here.
 
Looking less and less likely I'm actually getting this game today. Still no sign of postman and at this point I'm assuming it's because there was no post for us.

Hold me GAF :(

So yesterday I started the game.

Here is my Story so far, put in spoilers in case somebody does not want to be spoiled in any way. Nothing story relevant I think.

I started in a lush planet. Beautiful turquoise grass, red trees and yellowish red sky, fiery red at times.

The first thing I did was get a grasp of the controls, and hop around doing stupid things. Got attacked by a couple of sentinel bots as soon as I started getting carbon from the plants.

Found a little base, went in, spoke with the Alien inside, answered randomly since I did not understand a thing. He gave me a multitool, lol, way better than the default one. Next to this guy was a terminal, with a math puzzle. Once deciphered it marked me a crash landing site... so I went there, the long way round, taking my time, in awe with all that was surrounding me, there where mountains above the forests, with arcs of rock, like, going from tip to tip of two mountains.

And incredible sight to behold.

Then I found my first creatures, scanned them, as I had already built a scanner, and proceeded with my journey to the crash landing site.

Got there, and there it was, a crashed ship, way better looking than mine, and it gave me the option to keep it! So why not! instead of repairing the initial ship, I went ahead and started repairing this one.

Started to explore, fell into a cave, beautiful cave with luminescent stalactites and stalagmites and plants. FULL of plutonium.

I stocked up on that thing and on aluminum to get some some money and to be safe while exploring.

I got lost.

Like, really lost guys.

I did NOT know where to go.

God is this cave HUGE.

*1 hour later*

FINALLY, I see LIGHT!

So i came out right in front of a HUGE Heridium pillar, under an arch of stone, just what I needed to fix the drive.

Right, so now, back to the ship, that is like 15 minutes away.

I come across another little base building thingy, I go in, another alien is waiting, and he gives me more knowledge on the language of his species and then in a nearby terminal I get a beacon on another planet marked.

Outside there was kind of a post to call my starship, that I repaired remotely with my gathered materials, including heridium.

I crafted a bypass chip to activate it and call my ship and with awe, I jumped in, and LAUNCHED!

Goosebumps all over!!!

I then flew above the surface for a few minutes finding points of interest, exosuit upgrades and some other bases with more interesting stuff.

I found a trade post and loved that ships went and came, I could also trade with the pilots, including buying their ships!

Sold my spare stuff and decided to go to Space, the final frontier!

i launched, looked up at the sky, and boosted the ship!

As I exited the atmosphere and saw space, I just could not help it, I shouted "WOW" in excitement

Ok, i need a space station, wanna see what's up with those, oh, look, there.

Oh, geez, an asteroid field, I hope I don't cr... ouch... that hurt, no problem, seems like my shield are handling it fine, ok, lets go to the station then!

I see the space station, and wow, what a beautiful thing, red and orange, and kind of icosahedral.

I find the entrance and hop in, the tunnel to the center is super cool, I land and explore a bit, and take off once again.

Ok, I'll ignore the beacon I have marked on that other planet and I'm gonna go visit this other one.

I feel like a child when I approach orbit and enter the planet, and see the fire around my ship and the ground closer and closer.

This planet is toxic, with toxic sand storms and a lot of water, pretty barren to be honest, with floating square like islands with holes in the middle.

I fly around, mine some rare minerals and swim around a bit, find some upgrades and monoliths, and I decide to go back to space, I don't like this planet as much as my first one.

Then I decide to go to my initial planet, explore some more and gather some materials, I find some awesome ruins, I get punished because I choose the wrong option, trade around a bit in the trading post and take off again.

This time I'm going to the planet with the beacon mark.

Hot fiery planet, no water, lots of gold, lots of life (ironic) and pretty cool, I decide to farm gold, since I saw a ship earlier in the trading post with more slots that I wanted to buy and couldn’t, start approaching the beacon but I get lost farming gold and picking up monoliths and exploring ruins and bases.

Lots of monoliths in this planet.

In the end I didn't get to the beacon... I sold all the gold I farmed, went back to the space station and traded with some pilots, crafted some upgrades for the suit and bought a 22 slot awesome ship for 1.3 million.

Very well outfitted too!

I decide to go to bed, 2:50 am.


With a smile on my face, from ear to ear.

This was just 3 planets guys, and about 7-8 hours of gametime.

This is my new world now.

No man's sky is my new home.

I'm so happy it shouldn't even be legal. I can't wait to get home again and explore more!

Just had my first hard crash wandering around a glacial planet looking for resources.

Just after I had mined a whole block of Heridium too, but oh well.

Found an odd temp glitch. On a planet that during the day is 30C(86F) and I'm suffering heat damage. At night the temp goes up to 61C but no damage. I'm guessing the night and day temps are backwards.

so Carbon and Plutonium are stuff to hang on to, are there other stuff that you guys have noticed are good to not sell?

I have a bunch of relics and that kind of stuff... doesnt seem that I need them

I really hope they remove the life support system and the necessity to refuel the launch thruster. Those two things, coupled with the laughably small inventory space, are my biggest annoyances about the game. They feel overbearing to the point where it just becomes so frustrating that you forget about how cool the rest of the game can be. A slightly faster sprinting speed and the ability to flip R3 and L3 on game-level would also be welcome changes but they are really just small nitpicks if anything.

I came on GAF so happy with my first nights play and it seems like half of GAF is on fire with hate! haha

Had a great time, game seems exactly how I expected it to be!
 
You can, it's just vague how to do it.

Go to the Galaxy Map and hit Up on the d-pad (I think...it's in the lower left corner) to "scan for discoveries." It will spin for a while (quite a while sometimes) and then you'll see it change to something like "Skip to nearest" or similar. Tapping Right on the D-pad will then jump you through all the star systems you've discovered, closest to furthest. When you find the one you want to go back to, make it a waypoint and you can follow the trail back to that system.

Oh wow thanks for that! Although I can see that getting tedious if you have like 50 star systems you've discovered.

Would be much better if you went to your discoveries menu and find the star system you want to go back to, and press a button that will create a waypoint on your galaxy map. But this will have to do for now!

Is anyone else getting random freezing problems? I've had the game freeze on my twice as I was flying around, leaving my PS4 unresponsive and forcing me to hard reset.

The first time it happened, it somehow corrupted the game file itself and I had to uninstall/reinstall.

If this is going to keep happening....

They did say you can see other players though, and you can't.

People who fail to see that Hello Games have lied are stupid.

I've been following this game and what Murray has been saying for years now.

I had zero expectation of multiplayer. Anyone who bought this game expecting to hang out with friends is at fault. You dun goofed.
 
Nobody was expecting that. People were expecting to see other players, exactly what Sean Murray stated.

Servers were fucked most of the day yesterday. Sean said that himself in his statement after the players tried to tweet. They were barely holding things together. It's entirely plausible the systems to see each other were entirely borked.

"Can see you see other players?" "Yes."

Stop kidding yourself, these things were said and they're not there.

Lol this is based on the fact two guys on twitch couldn't see each other last night even though one wasn't even connected to PSN. That was the point last night where I left the "can't see other people" thread. So stupid.

For me, the lack of any multiplayer doesn't even register on my scale of things that disappoint me about NMS, it's just not something I was ever worried about, infact, whenever I play Elite, I tend to play solo so I can avoid meeting people!

I think I might hate this game.

Day One: Learn language, manage inventory, activate beacons, look at animals along the way, and sell/trade. Rinse / Repeat.

The only reason I'm doing four of those things is due to activating beacons, which I can no longer find on a map system once I leave the area.

I have to believe there is more to the game. Doesn't help that 4/5 areas look identical to one another.

Let's be real here. Even if the game did have multiplayer then everyone would be bitching about the always online, no pause button connected experience thing.

Everyone loves a good moan.
