No Man's Sky

[Simond]

Also, fuck the PC!

[Bzalthek]

Where does it say it's not on PC?

[HaemishM]

As I said before, it's been reported that it WILL be on the PC as well as at least one "next-gen" platform.

[Bzalthek]

That's what I found, but then everyone was losing their shit here.  I should have known better.

NO, PANIC! DANCE THE DANCE OF LIFE!

No one's posted the link to part two of the RPS interview yet? Do I have to turn this thread around and drive home?

I think that after the "other spaceships game", nothing is safe.

[Bzalthek]

They talk all pretty like.  I wanna do bad things with their imaginations. 

[Merusk]

Sure, he wishes, but when the author says stuff like

Games that we will get compared to, rather than I would compare us to, would be Minecraft, DayZ, but also Dark Souls to an extent and probably Journey.”

on top of showing a trailer like that, how can you not be interested?

Words.  Words written on water.

I'm writing a book, it's like LotR without the crap bits, like Neal Stephenson and Borges got married and had a child who was more brilliant than either and wrote my book for me, with the energy of Lee Child, the brain of Eco and the style of Nabokov.

Quick, pre-order while your imagination and love of those things outweighs my track record of having done nothing of the sort ever to date!

[Bzalthek]

No, sir!  I won't fall for that!  I already know everything you touch is horrible!

[rk47]

I'm doing a radicalthon, but I lack the funds to complete my glorious work. It's not that I hate doing it but I lack the time cause I gotta juggle RL work with my hobbies.

If you guys can actually put in some money and help me get over my daily expenses so I don't have to earn an income to continue doing what I love most, maybe I can improve the quality and frequency of my updates.

Love,
RK47

 

PS: I can do adult games like hentais, eroge, visual novels, even cutesy shit like princess maker 2, or even popular fantasy football game that people here worship called Blood Bowl. I can be as immature or mature as required for these projects and willing to undertake the bullshit level to over 9,000. For $20 I can name a rookie player in my team after you. And maybe turn you into a star player.

PS: If you're a girl, please PM me your pic for special mention and description.
PPS: I play Dawn of War too.
PPPS: But no XCOM multiplayer please.

I touched your mum (or mom, for y'all Americans).

[Falconeer]

This game should one up Star Citizen by pre-selling planets instead of just ships.

[Yegolev]

Dark Souls's* MP system is hardly universally appealing, so nobody should be surprised if someone doesn't like the sound of that. Notch's model is entirely different - you play with just the people you want to.

*It takes the 's because you are talking about a single thing named "Dark Souls" not something that belongs to multiple Dark Souls.

Shouldn't it be Dark Souls' instead of the s's, which I seem to remember from grade school and from my nine-year-old's current grammar lessons on plurals and possessives?

[Ingmar]

Technically I should have italicized Dark Souls, which would probably make it clearer why it takes the 's.

[Yegolev]

Hmm, yes that may be.  I'm out of my grammatical depth now.

[Bzalthek]

When in doubt add multiple s's'ss's's-es and pretend it's ironic.

[schild]

Actually had to use Google to even find this thread.

No Man's Sky has been delayed. Excuse me while I weep.

[Rendakor]

Did they ever confirm a PC release?

[schild]

Yes, it was supposed to be out next month about this time. Now it's not.

[Sky]

I think we discussed this around here somewhere since the last post in here.

But yeah, there's no way this one will deliver a top notch experience, going to be very 'procedural', ie generic. It looks like a good engine and good generation platform, but the question is will it survive a launch with very little custom content?

I'm interested in it, but not sure I'm full retail price interested. I am 1000% Steam Sale price interested.

[01101010]

Damn it... saw the thread pop back up and got a little excited. 

[Torinak]

Are they taking the time to patch a game into their tech demo?

[schild]

I hope not. That would probably fuck it up.

[Sky]

I hope not. That would probably fuck it up.

It killed off Spore, which was another fun procedural toy that they bolted a totally shitty endgame to that utterly ruined it.

[Hawkbit]

Officially delayed to August 9th. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/05/27/no-mans-sky-coming-to-ps4-in-august/

Kinda bummed, I was hoping to play this over the summer. It launches right as I go on a 2wk vacation, and our work starts to ramp back up in the autumn. I mean, I'll survive and all... just disappointed.

[schild]

Fuck.

[apocrypha]

I'm in exactly the same place as you with this Sky. I strongly doubt it'll live up to 10% of the hype - a hype that has been entirely driven by disappointment with the other attempts to revive the space explorer genre in recent years, namely E:D and Star Citizen. E:D has shown us that looking pretty but with dull content makes a dull game, and SC has shown us that if you promise the moon on a stick you can fleece the fuck out of 1000s of people.

I predict that NMS will be closer to E:D, i.e. very pretty but ultimately shallow. Unless modding support is very good of course, which the jury is out on for now.

[Sky]

I don't really see the hype. It looks nice, the space-to-planet looks well done, but there's not much else there. Now, maybe they're being coy with the meat and potatoes, but maybe I wear the Queen's knickers.

[Sir T]

They sure look comfy on you.

[Nija]

Looks like they need a few more months to let it hopefully generate the fun.

[Lucas]

Problem is, they might not last "a few more months"
