I thought I'd give it another go with the last push of updates and the NEXT update. I guess it's made it prettier but it's still got the same fundamental issues it had the first time around, obtuse, boring, and frustrating. It's probably an alright game once you manage to fix your ship and get off the planet, but it's just the beginning that kills it for me. Instantly dying because your radiation shield fails, being told you can't do this and you can't build that. Then being told you need to build something with no explanation of how to do so, or what you need to collect etc. I just don't find playing a game through google at all engaging so I'm giving up for good this time. Game deleted. Which is quite sad because originally I was really looking forward to it.

I've always assumed those people who were really angry were just Star Citizen backers confronted with the reality of a released space game. ;-)
I bought this last week as I wanted to give it a go. Havent played more than a few hours so far. I've enjoyed it for exactly the reason @BoardBonobo hated it. Figuring out how to leave the planet felt like a nice mini achievement. But then I like games that let you noodle around.

I don't really remember the start being so difficult? I mean, this type of game was completely new to me (the whole Minecraft, crafting, inventory management etc) I figured out what to do from the game prompts I'm pretty sure, if was a little confusing but to me that was half the fun/challenge.
It's not that difficult but I've noticed the younger gamer want everything delivered on a platter. If you don't like a game don't play it don't try and expect everything to adjust to your tastes. It's like when people bitch and moan about souls games not having a pause function.
I personally like games that make me think for myself. In fact the whole walkthrough or people googling how to get things done is totally against what I would do but that's why there are different types of games for different tastes.

BoardBonobo has been on B3D since 2002...
Maybe he was only 5 then...
I suppose I inferred I was responding to him but it was more that his message just got me going on one of my pet peeves
Absolutely. As much as I hate it when a game is not intuitive/logic enough, so it seems there's no other choice but to look for help. However, if so many people were able to repair their ships and I haven't read many drastic complaints about this, I naturally thought that BoardBonobo's post was a bit exaggerated. :-S
Lol, you're such a troll!
I started a new game last night to check out all the new additions over the last year or so. Within an hour I was handheld through farming all the needed material to build the things I needed to repair the ship and get into space. Within 2 hours I had gone to another planet and instructed though building my own base.
It's a lot more instructional than first release.
I love a lot of the changes I've seen already, going to spend a lot of time in this again. I know there's a lot more to obtain as well.

I found my performance wasn't great either, haven't done much tweaking yet. We're not alone though:

Yay, the game finally launched and No Man's Sky is maybe finally out of early access? [/touch_of_sarcasm]
I was jaded on the game after they basically released it in a BETA state, but this looks like a full featured game finally. Now, after hearing my friend's talk about it and consequently watching some people play it, I'm kind of excited for the game again like I was years ago when they first announced the game.
It's nice to see they are following a kind of F2P/B2P model on the game with constant updates and upgrades similar to Warframe. So the graphics have improved and a lot of new content has been added for free.
Looks good. Kind of weird it's still a 60 USD title though.

You charge what people are willing to pay. Diablo 3 is £55 on PSN for the latest, greatest version, for a game that's 6 years old. Is the game worth $60 now, regardless what it's been priced before? Hello Games seem to think so based on their sales data.
Not sure how it's similar to Warframe at all. There's no free version and there's no microtransactions. It's more the opposite of Warframe.
