For those asking me about what made the game better ~20 hours in, *SPOILERS BELOW!!* So basically, it all comes down to Atlas. If you communicate with the red floating orb beside your ship at the start of the game, it will start to "call to you" later on. If you follow its direction, you'll start to find some objectives alongside some tech that really open the game up. You will also get the Atlas Passes which let you open things like new space station rooms, alien anomalies that allow for black hole usage and more Atlas knowledge, unlock all sorts of vital new tech (like warp drives that allow you to reach better star systems with far more lush and interesting planets) and much more inventory space (up to 48 slots in each inventory,) and you start communicating with the Atlas entity and its followers directly which provide an actual narrative to follow. Eventually, this turns into a quest to figure out what purpose Atlas serves and potentially even the source of all things in existence. Whether or not the answers to those questions are satisfying by the end are debatable. To sum up: No Man's Sky in the later game gives you objectives to pursue at your own pace and the resources to do anything else you want _more_ enjoyably. That's still not to say it's the game I was hoping it would turn into, but it did improve a bit over my initial impressions.
@Thanatos4208 жыл бұрын
I kind of feel sorry for those who don't follow the Atlas path. Yeah, you get to discover planets at your own leisure without being held by the hand on where to go on your journey to the center. But once you hit a certain monolith (you know the one)...you are utterly denied the path to the Atlas interface because you chose not to follow the Atlas path at the start. And then there are people who took the path, but sold the Atlas Stones without knowing what they're for. But that's a spoiler cake I wont cut into. Suffice to say...do not sell them. They are burdensome and take up inventory space, but do not sell them. Otherwise, I agree. This game really opens up once you reach that first interface, then the anomaly, in terms of plot and player interest. It just sucks it takes that long to happen which takes its first impressions and boils them down to "repetition: the game", which is completely understandable if anyone is of said opinion of it. Even after it opens up it stays that way...but atleast you're given a driving reason to continue the grind thanks to the reasons you stated above.
@Expel_8 жыл бұрын
I didn't go the Atlas path, and at the first anomaly I didn't pick to be able to traverse black holes (I picked the "tools to help you on your journey" because I though it'd be cool shit, it was not). Am I fucked or will there be other anomalies or something?
@Thanatos4208 жыл бұрын
No, you're not screwed. Everything you can do on the Atlas path can be done off the path (granted - i'm not sure if you can collect the Atlas stones off the path). You just wont be guided to where key points are so it may take you longer to find them. You will still find Atlas interfaces and Anomalies even off the path from what I understand (though I personally took the path). You just wont be guided to them on a set path and will have to happen upon star systems with them via your own intuition in order to progress.

him giving the advice to go straight to the middle of the galaxy is the worst advice and the reason most people didn't like this game when it first came out. Since if you just made a beeline to the middle to try and "beat" the game then of course you were going to see a lot of the same stuff because you were never going to see any of the planets in the more advanced star systems requiring higher hyperdrive upgrades. Like planets made completely out of metal, larger creatures attacking each other, walker sentinels, and more. The game wasn't perfect when it came out and it has gotten a whole lot better since but most of the stuff on the list that was circulated was actually in the game it's just people didn't take the time to look.

BUT the way he worded them sounded nice and his voice also helped on that too. In the end, there is no denying that this game is a shit. The amount of BS far outweigh the so called "good things" that it provides. And a good product is measured on what it can deliver, how the majority reacts to it and other factors. This game just taught us to NEVER EVER be hyped for something and throw money at that thing.

I want to see this turn into that free-roaming space exploration survival sim that it looks like it can be. There's just so much more that could be done in this game that it hurts to see it as bare as it is right now - at least up until an apparent point happens. I'll be keeping an eye on this one for sure, picking it up when it's either grown into something magnificent, or has dropped in price.

And, yes, everything from the inventory space issues to the boreness of the first 10-20 hours has gone from bad to great, and graphics were extremely updated so that it doesn't look like a 4-years-old game. Just make sure that if you do, you start a brand new game. Don't attempt to load your 4-years-old save, you'll miss on the explanation of how the game mechanics work (and they work very differently, now).

Okay, so this game had absolutely no chance of appealing to me. In any way. If the game met and exceeded it's hype beyond measure, it would still be the complete opposite of what I actually want from a video game. I need characters. I need narrative. I need a plot, and story, and meaning. I can't actually think of a game that is further away from what I like from video games. But I know full well why people enjoy this game. I know why my friend swears by it. His enjoyment from video games comes from a sense of wonder at the specifics of the world. The science. The flora and fauna. And while that sounds utterly insane to me, I can definitely see why he still enjoys the hell of the game despite the PC port being utterly atrocious. We actually spoke a lot about this at one point. How I care far more about how people act, and their actions and psyche, while he looks at games from a scientific view. It's why he has completely opposite tastes to me in everything. He likes Portal due to it's science; I like it because of it's characters and how they're performed. That is the only game I can think of that we both love. It's so weird how people can be so different. It's insanely interesting. I want to play video games about that! But I really, really hope this game can end up meeting it's hype. Because while I will never, ever buy it, the people who were hyped for it deserve a better game.

"You have no idea what's going on, and things are just unmanageable for a long time. You may even want to quit, because the promise of better things in the future just seems too far off. But if you stick to it and work through the crap there's a chance you'll find a purpose and a routine that works for you. You might even find some version of happiness you can agree with. You reach a point when finally, you can sit back, admire what you've earned, and just go exploring the weirdness of reality, free of the shackles of having to find your place in life.

wait for a month or so when it starts going on sale. I refunded it as $60 for a game with issues is a no no to me. but it is pretty cool but is wacky on pc. The game puts on g sync in the ini but you can not turn it off in game or know it's there. in game v sync is aweful. Performance should be much better and since it is cpu heavy an i7 or powerful I5/amd is really required for a decent experience.

This review is right on the spot! The beginning is hard and grind-y and you feel like your inventories are always full and it's very frustrating. But once you start getting more inventory space the game really opens up and you begin to feel like you're starting to make progress. You also begin to understand the story of the game, which seems very fascinating. _Oh and performance issues on PC can be fixed!_ Here's how: Go to your \Steam\SteamApps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS folder and open the file TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML using notepad. In there, change the following settings: - FullScreen = false - Borderless = true - UseScreenResolution = true - Make sure your resolution settings are correct - VSync = false - GSync = false - MaxframeRate = 160

I like this review, it actually has constructive criticism rather than just complaints and hate, like most other No Man's Sky reviews so far. What gives me hope for this game is that Hello Games are taking the Minecraft approach with content by which they will continue to make and add new things to the game throughout it's life. We have a good foundation right now, let's hope that it get's better. Hello Games definitely has the passion for it.

@Leyvin8 жыл бұрын
I've got to say that honestly... I'm in two minds about this game. I recall discussing this game with a friend a few weeks ago, because we knew /OF/ it; but what we quickly came to realise is we really didn't know WTF it actually was. Like was it a Space Minecraft? Was it like Elite Dangerous? Was there Combat? Could you make Outposts? It sounded like there was Multiplayer, because of the "Connected Universe" but they hadn't shown off any actual Multiplayer where you were working with Friends to Survive and Explore. In fact what we realised is beyond the Premise of 'A Procedurally Generated Space Exploration / Survival' ... which sure sound great in theory, there actually was the absolute bare minimum of /actual/ information on what the game was about. Don't get me wrong one of my favourite games of all time (Elite) could realistically be explained in a similar way - but in 1983/4, well you'd only get information from Friends who'd already played a game or the box art. On top of this Elite was £4 (fairly average for a game of the time, but not expensive by any means) and where the main competition is Asteroids, Pac-Man, etc. well having a basic repetitive Game Loop was fairly standard practise - Elite in that regard actually had /the/ most variety of what you could chose to engage in and that was part of the draw. Something it sorta needed given you'd wait 15 minutes for it to load before jumping a system and instantly dying trying to Dock; rinse and repeat until you finally figured out how the hell to properly dock... said brutality was part of the charm. Yet when you talked about it with friends, what you could say about it was how the Combat was Adrenalin Pumping... Pirating was Profitable but Risky... There was an Alien Race that would Randomly Show up to kick your arse... Asteroid Mining... Trading... Exploration to get to Earth and finally Galaxy Hopping. Like there felt like a Myriad of Options, which for the time was epic. • We fast Forward to the modern Re-Imagined Elite Dangerous and again you have that, plus Planetary Exploration, Driving, Full (Optional) Multiplayer, Factions, Galaxy Exploration, Station Building, Pirating, Bounty Hunting, Mining, etc. I won't say that it isn't an acquired taste - and really it's more of a chill game like say Euro Truck Simulator where you're having a cathartic experience from just doing something reasonably mundane most of the time; but the thing is that unless you are deliberately trying to go alone across the Galaxy, the Universe never really /FELT/ Empty. It would feel Quiet and Solitary but BUSY. • No Man's Sky however appears to be the exact opposite where it looks very Busy, but Empty; not like your Solitary Life-Style is a choice but that you're in a Dead Universe. Sure, I know there are the NPC Aliens (and apparently other players showcase as NPCs when they're near) but it just /feels/ Desolate despite that. Perhaps it's different when you're playing, but that's no a feeling I've ever had from Elite - even when you're /supposed/ to be in a Dead system, typically you still have the odd passer by. Actually reaching somewhere you're truly alone ends up a Choice. I don't know perhaps I'm not explaining it well, but it's just the vibe I'm getting. Like No Man's Sky, seems to WANT to feel busy and alive but ends up feeling like Window Dressing in Purgatory.

About the inventory...it really needs some redesigning. I was coping with it for a long time, until i started gathering resources to get myself 3 various ship and exosuit upgrades. While at the beginning they were quite simple and easy to fulfil, the ones i'm aiming for now basically have a combination of the following requirements: -Single very rare part that i have not yet seen. -Almost a full slots worth of a rare element that i don't need for anything else so far. -Almost two slots worth of normal element that i might occasionally use for something. That means i have to dedicate 9-12 slots of my ship inventory to be sure that i can build the important upgrades when i come across the important parts that i've yet to find. The quick-fix that i'd like to see to this is some sort of vault in the space-stations where you can stow stuff that you don't want to move around. Or at least on the Atlas-stations.
