No mans sky

I've been enjoying it. It's really something to open the galaxy map for the first time. So huge. And the planets really are planet, sized planets. Which leads me to my next statement. If you don't like long walks, don't buy this game lol.

This game, man.

I barely thought it would live up to the hype, let alone exceed it. I've been playing for four hours straight across only two systems and about five planets/moons, and it has been absolutely and utterly humbling. My breath is being taken away at every turn.

I just drowned trying desperately to make my way out of a dark underwater cave on a cold, lonely, massive planet, with ominous growling startling me from far across some rocky, eroded mountains against the backdrop of a massive dark blue system. Earlier I was marveling at a herd of grazing antelope-like creatures on a little yellow paradise of a moon with a pink sky. Creatures were screeching in the distance and tinkling piano chords played in the background.

I very much appreciate the technical and leveling aspects such as mining and trading, but most of all, this game has been an extremely emotional experience for me so far. I could barely pull myself away from my first system once I acquired the warp cell. No matter what I'm looking at, I have this excitement and this wonder and frustration that I am inevitably missing so much. I have never, EVER felt this lost. Space just beckons, wordlessly. What a beautiful, beautiful, titanic game. I have no words.

Enjoy, everyone. And thank you, Sean and Hello Games. Jeez Louise.

You PCucks never had a problem with procedural generation when it was shit like Daggerfall that gives you leet nerd hipster cred to say you like.

Why is it so hard to believe some people just suspend disbelief, say fuck it and enjoy it for what it is?

Why are you all high functioning autistic people with stem degrees? Why is the profile always so uniform?

Just because Sean technically "said" they'll be "planet-sized" doesn't mean they're actually supposed to be "planet-sized". The planets are definitely all planet-SHAPED, which is obviously what he meant.

I have not had this much fun playing a game in YEARS. I am genuinely flabbergasted that the early reviewer impressions look so negative. I'm hoping it's because they are all in the overwhelming early stages of the game and will push through it.

Kudos to Sean and HG. I am sorry that it's looking like the reviews might not work out the way you guys wanted, but just know that you've won me over and you will have a dedicated fanbase playing this game and enjoying the improvements you make.

I doubt that a professional reviewer would be able to appreciate what Sean and his team have achieved with the game - they evaluate games as products, not as works of art. When they see that the universe is empty and there isn't really anything to do after the first couple of hours (and this was done on purpose), they'll just give it a low score because it "isn't fun". They'll completely miss the feelings of emptiness and futility that Sean was trying to convey, the feeling of being tiny and insignificant in an overwhelmingly huge universe, since they only care about pointless shit like "value for money" or "entertainment". Really, the only people we can trust are the fans on this sub who understand the game as a work of art, and no one else. I just hope Sean won't listen to the bastards trying to review his work while simultaneously being too stupid to understand, poor guy.

For anyone curious

Two streamers actually managed to find each other. They stood in the exact same spot and couldn't see each other or interact in any way. Only see what the other one named shit

big dog · August 09, 2016, 04:04:48 PM

Verbatim · August 09, 2016, 04:17:01 PM

literally the only thing i knew about this game was what they revealed at E3 that one year, so whatever silly things have been said about the game since then by the developers on twitter, i don't really care about, because i never had that expectation anyway

just looks like a cool game, fam

Pretty much, unless you get Horizons and get the SRV to explore atmospherless planets on

Officially decided Not getting this game.

Too many other good games coming soon

Feel like the survival aspect may get a bit tedious, honestly

I guess I'm just not a survival kind of person though

From all I've seen on the game there isn't a survival aspect to it. You don't need to eat, drink etc etc

You just collect things and upgrade things in order to collect more things.

There's a heavy aspect of surviving in dangerous environments on planets by collecting resources to maintain things like life support and your survival suit

There is in a way, you need to keep your suits life support and anti-radiation systems up on hostile planets.

Tyger · August 09, 2016, 06:06:15 PM

The whole subreddit is just people posting various videos of Sean saying you could see other players lol

gats · August 09, 2016, 06:08:32 PM

Ehh requiring suit upgrades to go to specific planets isn't exactly survival to me because it's not constant

It's more having to keep your suit and life support operating through using resources you have to collect
