(PSN)zeratul____12 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 so now that its out I want to know what my fellow Tenno think of it, and yes I do realise that it will not be to everyones taste, but I am genuinely curious. Also what planet did you start on? I got a snow world without any buildings and not many resources so it was tough to get off the rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychedelicSnake Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It honestly feels like Spore with a new coat of paint, in my honest opinion. It's not bad... it just doesn't live up to the hype set for it. Again, my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Disappointing. Outside of the vastness of the game, it just seems like a typical survival game but with space exploration. And while that aspect of exploration can be cool, the gameplay will just be as boring as those other games. If you like it, then great! But I wanted more from the game. I feel like Erik Kain puts it best: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2016/08/10/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-no-mans-sky/#35d9613e739c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)WINDMILEYNO Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I havnt gotten it yet, but from the looks of this thread, I see it may be disappointing. Hype. Everything is getting so much hype nowadays and then disappointing and falling short of that hype when it is released... It must be many times more exciting to make a game than it is to play... Destiny...the Division...now No man's sky is probably in the same boat... The last time a game lived up to its hype for me that I can remember was back in 2012, a master piece named "The last of us". Shadow of mordor is a honorable mention...maybe The evil within....and I never played the Witcher. But not much lives up to the hype. #stopthehype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanescent Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Reading the review, I think the game has achieved what it set out to do: to throw you into the vastness of space and make you realize your smallness. You will never 'finish' no man's sky, because there is no end, there is no limit to complete, and this game is not yours because you can never own it all, and you will never see all that it has to offer. It will exist with you and without you. You are alone because that is what it's like in the emptiness of space, to feel the void that exists between words and the warmth of where life blinks into existence. It tells you all this, really, on the cover: it's no man's sky. It is not yours to own, or yours to mold, just yours to borrow and yours to see, and yours to forget, finally.

While that's good and all, it's still a video game. And a video game that becomes boring within a short time span isn't a very good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing with my dormies on our shared PS4 felt really fun, so we sunk a fair few hours in. In the end if you don't have fun, you won't play it, right?

Hyper's the one that raised expectations far from the original, before it's released. Get it? Reviewing the game before it's playable. That's how hype starts.

Fallout 4 wasn't bad as well either, true. It's mainly due to the lack of mods at launch (no s**t) that made people think the game was bad [it's like Skyrim, it's supposed to be modded to be good - that's how most sandbox games work]. Please don't up-vote for the sake of that, you're giving me the wrong impressions. Edited August 11, 2016 by RetiredEdgeLord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, this is a space exploration game so not everyone is gonna like it. This game is also somethinng competely new there has never been a game like this one, it also probably shattered the record for biggest game ever made.

It's not new, Spore has done this before with the massive galaxy exploration. Although it was not on such a massive scale, this isn't something awe inspiringly new.

It's pretty much why I describe No Man's Sky as "Spore with prettier paint" in my comment above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exploration. The one thing NMS does very well. But it also has trade routes with aliens, alliances, wars, genocidal wars against an entire race of aliens via atmospheric manipulation.
