With how much was put into the planets themselves in this part, I have a feeling part 2 will be a big POI overhaul. Not saying these updates haven't been incredible as it is, but I think a whole range of new, expansive POIs is something that would really compliment part 1, and is the next big overhaul the game needs.

[@chickenwar1]

​@@Aussie_Tomagreed. The update with the villages helped but all the other POI just don't feel special, especially because there's not much variety

[@voltus20]

​@@Aussie_Tomabsolutely agree, and since this first part focuses on basically all the core components of planets, the only other things i could see being worked on part two, would be POIs, resources, and perhaps the few remaining planet types that didn't show up in the patch notes for part 1 (barren planets, anomalous planets, and dissonant planets).

Greatest story in video game history!

[@billyfraiser6298]

That's actually kind of ironic. I'm guessing you're a teenage or very early 20s, and don't realize/remember/know that when they stared NMS, it was actually the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what you wrote. Sean Murray completely failed at NMS the first few years of it's existence. They've definitely improved the game a lot since then, but they robbed a lot of people of their pre-order money and collector's edition money in the beginning, without delivering a science fiction novel cover. I still think it's sad that people who spent $50-$60 on the game, got a crap game and got robbed......and now people can get the game for $5 with all these updates. It's a mixed bag of emotions when it comes to this game. It's great that the game keeps updating and improving, but it only has this "greatest story in the video game history" (stealing the comment above mine lol) because they themselves dug the hole they were in. It's like someone causing a problem, and then fixing the problem they caused..... only to get praised for fixing the problem (which wouldn't have existed in the first place if it wasn't for that person).

I was sold on the hype for NMS from day 1. I saw Sean's passion and vision, and believed in him. While I don't think the product we have today would've been possible without Sony, I also think they nearly killed it before it could blossom. They forced the small studio to put out an incomplete version of what they described and wanted to publish. Luckily, after meeting this criteria, and later opening up to PC and Xbox, they gained enough freedom, time and funding to not only bring to fruition what was originally promised, but many many times beyond that. They've overdelivered so many times, and every time the content is free to all owners. It's truly incredible.

[@Nobbie248]

It launched on pc too

[@N4CR]

It was on PC from beginning. I played it on launch day, with an AMD GPU and the game was pretty flawless actually, thanks to consoles using similar AMD gpu libraries. Nvidia drivers had issues for first weeks. Game was limited, but did exactly the exploration it said on the box and very well. You could sit in the rain on a lonely mountain, in a planet no other person alive has ever seen, and listen to the rain hit the roof of your ship. It was very desolate, but also very freeing as an open world game that isn't really rivaled today.

People can talk about and praise how much of a good comeback Cyberpunk was, but it's nothing compared to what Hello Games has been doing for this game. The level of commitment, ongoing support and free updates, makes this by far the best redemption in gaming history.

[@tufflucal4037]

@Zenzuu Literally no one is saying that. Seriously everyone is going on about the redemption arc STILL, for like the TRILLIONTH Time! Am not exaggerating. That's all what they talk about including you. It's annoying. Move on.

[@Uomodargilla]

Nobody ever said Cyberpunk's comeback was good, they just fixed bugs and released a dlc, No Man's sky is a work of art next to that.

[@Zenzuu]

@@tufflucal4037 Again go on any reddit board, gaming forums or even a few gaming sites or other youtube channels regarding about it, and you'll see it there's plethora amounts of people saying it. Also, I rarely comment praising a game. No Man's Sky is an exception, and what Hello Games has done for it, it's not something that happens commonly in the gaming industry, so therefore they deserve the praise. If it annoys you so much then skip the comment, instead of replying. Simple as that. Move on.

[@Niaziy]

Oh my! Whenever No Man’s Sky releases a new update, I have endlessly thanked Sean Murray for still providing us with free content using the company’s resources, and I have mentioned what I think would be great in the next update. It's as if they are really listening to me because they release every suggestion I make in the next update, and it has become terrifying for me. I don't believe they are actually listening to me, but such coincidences are scary. I used to say you have written your name in the gaming world with golden letters, then I said with diamonds, and now you have written it with stars! When I made this suggestion, I thought to myself, “They can’t do that this time, if they will make the engine update that would be separate game called NMS2.” But engine update is really in front of me for base game now. I’m like -> 🤯 I really dont know what to say!

Hello Games is using all knowledge they acquired making NMS in the creation of Light No Fire and they are now using the new tricks they learned developing that game back in No Man's Sky. That is how a *_real_* game devs should work: not by betting in "live services" or microtransactions, but by focusing in what is truly important: making a good game and supporting it.

[@elymX]

exactly my thoughts when he said "we're bringing these tech back in the future" Hello Games, Larian, FromSoft are the only few Devs that are genuine and passionate in creating games

[@Space_Logic]

the other crook companies should take Hello Games as a case study and apply it if they want real concrete success forever, where the Player feels they owe it to the developer, I buy a copy of NMS now with every Update and give it to who has yet to play it......... would never do this for any other game.

Is it bad that it didn't launch with the level of quality that we have now? Yes. Have they made up for that lack of quality with consistent free new content? Also yes.

[@CultistCrossing]

The mere premise of the game is beyond the scope of anything any other game developer could pull off. It makes me so happy to see what you've done. Since day one, I never stopped believing in you guys and I'm so thankful that you never took our stock for granted, you always strive to deliver. No Man's Sky makes me so happy.

There’s a reason that us day one players have stuck with the game since 2016. That reason is faith in Hello Games. Thank you Sean and the team, you’ve never cease to blow us away. Fantastic job. ❤

[@grumbotron4597]

Day one player, honestly I was super disappointed at launch, and then Waking Titan happened. At that point I knew this game was gonna be something else, we just had to let the HG team work on it in their own way.

[@DelDredd]

I had it day 1 on PC as well, I still enjoyed playing despite all the hate it was given at the time, it did not bother me I just enjoyed the game and still do. It is amazing that all of these updates have cost us nothing despite the massive improvements and additions over time. This new one looks awesome but I am still waiting for Light No fire as well.

[@JogadorLevel99]

I had it day 1 on pc too and NMS was better than i expected. I never saw a sci-fi game with this exploration level before where players can explore entire planets. I just wished this big update had to be the first because it gives another level to immersion and makes us explore more and more. The exploration before was sometimes cool and sometimes boring because it was very repetitive and massive but was refreshing when i discovered another earth like planets and go there explore a little to see some fauna, flora and islands.

[@garfoonga1]

Preordered. I was always cool with what the game was, honestly the first week was probably the coolest week of gaming that whole generation because of the feeling of unknown.

[@boycottrainbowmafia2620]

I was a child at day one launch, barely in my double digits (13), and I remember that despite the game not living up to what it had promised at launch I was still enamored with its infinite exploration. I played it for a few hundred hours then left it and returned for every major update because I knew the game had a great deal of potential, definitely wasn't let down.

[@Brickticks]

Sean, I cannot thank you enough! Not only does my current home planet now look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, but also my original base, the very first Praxeum Spaceport, has now been unburied from the warped space nylium it was stuck in.
