I feel the same. I'm glad that they were able to bounce back like this. I guess Shaun learned his lesson about talking a little too much without actually delivering.

Yes, free updates are bad. Boo those developers.

Maybe down the line they'll add more of that kind of universe simulation aspect, but their focus right now is the MC stuff, mainly because it keeps players busy quite easily, between building, mining and finding/upgrading ships. At least there's a more purposeful gameplay loop people can work at now.

Read the notes and watched the video...that's a great fucking update. The buggy looks like a lot of fun, and there are more and more sensible fixes and additions dropping in. Bravo.
My queue is currently full, but I kept NMS with hopes that Hello Games would update it. I'll definitely swing back to it later on.

Is this game worth buying yet? I really love the art style but I stayed away with all the controversy. With these updates though it seems like it would be fun to play by this point?

Well, Sean did work on the Burnout series after all.
Did they add vehicle deformation to the game? That might be kind of cool if you could smash up the buggy with some reckless driving.

So this is currently 60% off on the European and Australian PSN store right now, so $21.95 AUD (~$16.50 USD).
It's still $59.99 USD on Steam or US PSN Store.

What to do GAF??

Consids:
- I have a PS4 Pro and Samsung KS8000 so I'm good for 4K HDR, but also should be able to run 1440p or maybe even 4K/60 on my PC (no HDR obv).
- I love my HOTAS on PC and use Voice Attack with Elite Dangerous, but not sure if HOTAS is such a big deal for NMS?
- Have Oculus Rift and PSVR, and whilst no VR in NMS yet, I'd be ready either way if it's added down the line.
- Would mod if it adds substantially, but modding and crazy base building not my primary focus. More interested in exploration.

It has Steam Workshop support and there's already mods for it. I'd go PC if you can.

Being able to discover/share/show off bases and leave messages with others online seems like a megaton.
Gonna buy it and give it a play finally. Really wish it was on sale for PC though. Looks like Amazon has it on PS4 for 25 bucks. Guess I'll go that route, I'll get to try the HDR that way anyways (it does work with OG PS4 right?).

Well colour me impressed. Those vehicles look like a lot of fun and would be extremely useful especially when you can just summon them from wherever.

Did they increase the base complexity limit? I'd hate to need to delete rooms to add the new stuff.

Come on guys, this is your redemption angle!
I swear, if they can somehow make it work so that you can harvest resources and build things with them, the community creativity will give a resurgence
Yeah, yeah, Minecraft, but its whats perfect for this game IMO

Yeah, but man is it painful getting anywhere underwater with that. The second one you get is muuuch better for traveling on land or sea.

This game just keeps improving. Soon, it will be better than it should be. Will be cheap by then too.

Well, anything is better than coming up for air every 30 seconds.

i was trying to hold out for the freighter update, but this looks like enough content now to dive back in. Time to get the mining tools out again.

Do you folks remember all the people claiming we were stupid thinking it would get constant updates? Apparently Hello Games just took the money and ran.
This is SO damned satisfying.

How much do the vehicles cost?
The last time I played I think I have no money after buying an expensive ship.

Hear, hear. If I didn't have Horizon, For Honor, Nioh and Gravity Rush 2 on my plate right now, I would absolutely dive in at this point. It's only a matter of time now!
Great, exciting trailer.
Really, all hyperbole aside, I find it very sad that they decided not to release this as an early access title. They really put themselves up against some serious adversity with the expectations they established, meanwhile they do actually continue to work on and improve the game. A lot of potential good will was wasted, and it's too bad.
I'll pick this up down the line when it's got a little more meat on the bones. I really like the sound of permadeath mode, actually.
And yeah, with regards to "too late" - no. No it isn't too late. It might be too late when someone comes along and does what NMS set out to do, and does it better. But as it stands right now, there isn't anything on the market offering the combination of things that it does, and as such, I think improvement on its admittedly bare framework is totally worthwhile.

Let's say for arguments sake I don't care about mods, any other sig advantages of PC version over PS4 Pro optimised version?

I have the PC version and the PS4 version.
I primarily play on my Pro.
Take from that what you will.

Hopefully we can expect some DF analysis soon.
Still waiting on an Analysis of Horizon's Performence Mode and the new Native 4K Division patch.
Great time to be a Pro owner.

While NMS remains a game that I personally have no intention to play, it is heartening to see that Hello Games seems to be really putting in the work to make it the experience people fantasised it to be.
