There's already people complaining about that. https://www.vg247.com/2016/03/03/no-mans-sky-gameplay/ I've seen a lot of positive stuff about it, so who knows.Will probably get it for PC, assuming that people don't complain of it getting stale/boring/repetitive.
Been looking at the game more since I previously didn't know/care if it was coming to PC as I just recently got one. Apparently it's pretty much entirely a solo experience and it'll be next to impossible to play with your friends (unless they release an update). Probably won't get it unless they add that feature in.There's already people complaining about that. https://www.vg247.com/2016/03/03/no-mans-sky-gameplay/ I've seen a lot of positive stuff about it, so who knows.
You can't have a letdown when pretty much the only thing that has been put out there about a game is just fragmented teasers.I can't wait till this turns out to be a massive letdown and nowhere near what they were boasting.
The game is still over 3 months away from being released... if you don't like the fact that you know little about it, don't pre-order it. It's as simple as that. I'm sure more info about the game will be coming out over the next few months, and there'll be plenty of info available for you to make an informed decision upon its release. And even if by some incredibly small chance they have a review embargo that lasts until the second the game's released, I'll refer you to the first sentence of my post: if you don't like the fact that you know little about it on day one, don't buy it. The developers don't owe you anything, especially if you say things like "Nobody knows how it plays, if at all."You can't have a letdown when pretty much the only thing that has been put out there about a game is just fragmented teasers.
Nobody knows what the game is yet, nobody has sat down and played it and been allowed to talk about it. Nobody knows how it plays, if at all? What is the progression? What is the challenge? What makes it a game?
You fly around in your x-wing (last I checked it was actually tied to the Starwars Universe) and explore planets scanning things, for what end?. You fly and participate in battles... again, for what end? You get attacked by droids because you scanned things... okay... but that doesn't say anything about how frequent these are, if it is intended as a mechanic to make players constantly move around, if it is intended as a mechanic to just disrupt their exploration of the .0001% of a planet they will actually see, ect.
And they want people to buy into it. Feels less like an attempt to sell an awesome game, and more an attempt to try and cash in on hype because the game is nearing the end of a planned development cycle and has to now answer to investors before the game has any substance to it. And there is something very concerning about a company who continues to hold their cards to their chest, asking you to buy what they're holding on the promise that it will be great (when even companies who have done great things in the past are failing left and right).
Oh, I'm sure it has content... Much like Eliteangerous has content to it... But content alone doesn't make for a compelling and enjoying game.
$66.49 CAD = $49.84 USDIt's on Steam right now as a pre-order, actually: http://imgur.com/w1ZkkzT
I can't believe how much it is here though, $66.49. Gonna wait for some sales for it to drop once it's released. This shitty Canadian dollar really is sinking pretty much everyone.
That's given current exchange though. $1 CAD now == $1 CAD if the dollar was on par. Which means I'm still spending the same amount of money now as later.$66.49 CAD = $49.84 USD
We're getting it for $10 cheaper.![]()
At least it isn't $80, unlike some Wii U gamesThat's given current exchange though. $1 CAD now == $1 CAD if the dollar was on par. Which means I'm still spending the same amount of money now as later.
That's actually a good question. I looked up a gameplay video on youtube to see if they answered that, and they did (you can explore everything). If it doesn't automatically, skip to the 10:00 mark.I am curious about how much of each planet can be explored. Will you literally be able to circumnavigate the globe and explore everything you see, or are does it limit you to small pre-generated maps on these said planets?
That would be the miracle of procedural generation. You haven't seen open-world until you've seen this. You'll run into some stuff you've seen before, but there will pretty much always be something you have yet to see, unless you've played for thousands of hours.People are right to be skeptical, this is a small developer promising to deliver an awful lot.

I think I'm gonna wait on the hype train to stop at the reality station before buying this.
I'm sorry, but I disagree.The game is still over 3 months away from being released... if you don't like the fact that you know little about it, don't pre-order it. It's as simple as that.

I'm not really following your logic. First of all, a lot (if not most) places either charge you once the game is released or have options for you to cancel your pre-order before the game is released or within a certain set of time (like Steam's recent 2 hour refund policy). Secondly, how many game developers "fully disclose" their game months before it releases? What exactly is "fully disclosed" in your opinion anyway? Are we gonna know who the final boss is, where every secret/hidden item is? What does Hello Games need to disclose about No Man's Sky before you say "Okay, so maybe they're not ethically questionable scam artists"?I'm sorry, but I disagree.
If they are asking people to spend money on something... which is what pre-orders are... then they have a responsibility as a company to let people know what the hell they are buying. Anything short of that is a scam, just like asking someone to buy a paper bag with something inside, and not telling them what is inside is a scam. Yes, there could be something good in that bag, there could also be a pile of dog shit. There is a reason why most countries have laws against selling people things without fully disclosing what is being purchased. This is nothing about review embargos... There is a difference between saying what a product is and if that product is any good. It is a difference between reporting content and what the quality of that content is. You can say what a game is about without making any sort of critique as to how enjoyable. It is ethically questionable for a company to do this sort of thing regardless of their intentions, and I'm going to call them out on it, just as anyone else with any sense should.
If Minecraft looked ten times as pretty and was infinity times the size with infinity times the number of creatures and landscapes, then maybe.Honestly the game just seems like "Minecraft: in space!"
Not full disclosure... Don't be silly.I'm not really following your logic.

Okay, clearly you either have no idea what you're talking about or are just downright lying.People have said that the game is everything from a sandbox builder, to a space sim, to an exploration game, to a roguelite, to something like Startrek, to a combat game, to a strategy game. But none of this has been reported as being concrete and definable. None of it is mentioned within official descriptions of the game, shown in the trailers, ect.
