Yes

140,000 are playing it on Steam

that's at least 8 million

I don't know about that, looks like scam worked as intended. Also, it's not going to leave this place at peace soon enough.

A critical flop, for sure

As a AAA release? Yes.

As an indie developer title that's technically still in early access? No.

It's still a great game to play, it's unique unlike most garbage on the market nowadays.

>flop
no

Talk about a sausagefest. Where all the bitches at? I ain't seen one damn alien broad on one damn planet. What good is exploring the universe if I can't holla at some big-assed, 4-titty bitch that don't understand a word I'm saying? "You have learned the Vy'keen word for: traveler" Yeah? What about the Vy'keen word for "fuckstick" or "cum". Yeah, I got a Special Relationship with Vy'keen and nice horns and all playa but I don't swing that way. The only Special Relationship I'm about is one with my dick and some Vy'keenie shortie.
Keep an eye out space pimps. You spot any squirrel out there, hit me up with some coordinates and shit. And remember. You ain't colonizin' shit if you ain't colonizin' some poontang.
See y'all niggas in the stars.

>it's unique unlike most garbage on the market nowadays.
this

>it's unique
Under the veneer of 18.5 quintillion worlds filled with infinite possibilities, the core gameplay is exactly like every other garbage indie survival game. Gather resources to stay alive, craft minor random upgrades, find a new area and repeat. The difference is that the crafting and loot system is nowhere near as robust and the selling point, the randomly generated worlds,, ends up feeling incredibly shallow after you've traveled to a handful. The sense of monotony killed any sense of wonder in the journey for me after several hours. It feels like an early access game, and with the way they're promising base building and PvP in future updates, it might as well be one. For $60.

I downloaded the demo

And i'm really enjoying it, which is very surprising to me as i was shitting on it a couple days ago

I am considering buying it

Is it true that there aren't even solar systems?

Now tell us why it's unique, because the way I see it, it's not unique at all.

>it's unique unlike most garbage on the market nowadays.
Not really, procedural generated crafting games have been the biggest indie trend for the past couple years now to a point of oversaturation to an extent.

The biggest hook is that out of any it has spent the most time and money on making such a huge map and set of variables to generate. Sadly it's a large focus on something that shouldn't have been put so much time and effort in the first place. The best type of crafting exploring games like these are the ones filled with depth not how big and pretty the map is. Yes, having 18 bazzilion planets is cool but it means nothing when there's not much to do in any of them.

If you really seem to enjoy it I really suggest you wait when the price drops.

The problem with No Man's Sky is that it's a game with little replayability. There's many planets to explore but overall you're going to be doing the same exact thing over and over. If you like the demo and want to try out the full game that's fine but keep in mind everything you did in that demo is everything you'll probably can and continue to do but with a different color pallete planet.

Will keep that in mind, thanks bud.

most of the negative review have over 2 hours played so no refund. Ain't a flop if everyone bought it at full price and can't refund

Hope you have fun user.
Just cause I think somethings shit don't mean someone else could have a great time with it.

After finally pirating it and playing it after a week of browsing this board I have to admit it is really not as bad as everyone made it out to be. At the very least it's def a different experience. Still I'd rather keep playing stardew valley like I have been since I got addicted to it last week.

Sup Forums was wrong Sup Forums was wrong Sup Forums was wrong hahahahahahahahahahah
half chan is shit.

>visionary masterminds behind Joe Danger

It's getting terrible scores, both with critics and users everywhere.

It's an empty substance-less screenshot simulator. The entire game is mine, fill up inventory, sell, repeat, and the variety of planets is no where near as much as they said. Also plenty of cut content and lies to go around.

Downloading the GOG version now, hopefully I can run it.

>book cover
>for a game that has pretty much no story/lore

has reddit gone too far?

Just cancel that download user.

>2 SSDs
>A fucking seagate 500gb hard drive
lmao

The developers are the most pretentious faggots I've ever seen so I'm not surprised. The shit they wrote in the cover is even worse.

1 SSD dedicated to OS, 1 for games and HDD for storage.
Needed more storage, so bought a 3tb.

>Using multiple SSDs instead of just one larger one
>he still owns/bought an actual seagate meme
that shits gonna blow on you user
but i have a gtx 660ti so gpu wise you can probably run it at like 40fps like I am but be warned it stutters like a motherfucker

Back when I bought these, larger SSDs were expensive as fuck. I don't really care about HDD brand, just bought whatever was a good price.

>it's unique unlike most garbage on the market nowadays.

Most garbage on the market has you going more than shooting rocks for hours.

They made a book on it?

Its not a flop, they sold plenty of copies due to the unwarranted hype.

It is a stinker, though.

I have a Seagate and its worked perfectly for about 5 years now, don't worry

What does this look like to you guys?

Sean Murray

It's a solid 5/10

a big red baboon sphincter

>140,000
>that's at least 8 million

212,000 peak players on steam
thats almost 13 million. and that's launch day. not including ps4. god damn sean the shill

>I'll never be able to make comfy Joe Danger threads again thanks to this game

RIP

I can only assume this is a joke based on the amount of hyperbole Sean used when describing the game.

Either that or this user has dug himself deep into the pit of denial.

>download GOG version
>runs like ass
>feels like it was designed a decade ago
>hold buttons to do anything
>character runs out of stamina in seconds

last straw was
>spaceship yaw bound to mouse movement and cannot be rebound

can't play a space ship game if the space ship controls are irreparably shit even if I wanted to

What are you having difficulty with? It's the current players x $60 each. Obviously Steam takes a cut, but they still made millions.

Hes talking about money you retard

...

He's talking about the money Sean made through this scam.

Let me tell you. I have been holding back this whole time, waiting to play it myself on PC.

THIS WHOLE TIME I have held my tongue. Well no longer. I just finished playing my pirated copy for the first time.

THE GAME IS A STEAMING PILE OF HOT SHIT.

Initially, I was struck by the awful FOV. IT IS SO BAD. there's a slider in the options, and it went up to 100. "GOOD" I thought. But no. You crank it way up there, and the shit still feels like battlefield hardline singleplayer campaign. Their "100" has GOT to be around 70. It's definitely lower than 90.

But I digress. I just finshed playing for the first few hours, and to be totally fucking honest, I don't think it will get played again. It's like pokemon GO, for me. Great, collect isotopes and build more shit to collect shit faster and build more shit faster, and that's it? There is no GAME there. It is literally Work Simulator 2016.

At least Moonbase Alpha had funny text-to-voice to go with your meaningless virtual labour.

TL;DR:

The game is boring, and shallow.

If you like that sort of shit, I guess play it.

user what is 140,000 people times 60

>waiting
What if the community quickly dying and I'm no longer can play with other player ?

>don't care about HDD brand

have fun recovering that data user, you do have it backed up r-right?

This right here. If it wasn't 60 bucks this would be a solid mid-tier indie time waster. As it stands it under-delivers by a wide margin for it's cost.

No, they sold enough copies without refunds available from this scam that some investor will only look at that and give them money to make another game.

The only issue is if people will trust them enough again to buy it, and this is video games, so yes.

That is the cold, hard truth of this whole debacle.

His fault for never specifying he was talking about money. Awkward wording.

In any case, that's fucking disgusting. Second time this year an indie conman has gotten away with it. What a shitty year this has been.

i'm getting starbound deja vu

I was on the "buy it maybe if it's like a dollar and I can take some cool screenshots" fence but unrebindable controls is an unforgiveable sin for a PC game.

Did they at least fix the awful obvious pop-in when you max it out on PC?

Too hard for you, modern 'gamers' ?

it was fucking obvious you idiot

>His fault for never specifying he was talking about money. Awkward wording.
Sorry m8, you're just a dummy. Everyone else figured it out right away.

>every planet and system is "undiscovered"
>every system already has a space station and every planet has multiple outposts

How do you mean and are the developers gay?

Besides the only other person who replied to it.

Can't tell if meming or not but since the devs have been pussyfooting around the possibility of multiplayer instead of a straight answer and no one has yet to meet someone else it's safe to assume there really wasn't any multi to begin with.

retard.

Are you retarded?

idiot

>it's a Sup Forums hates something popular episode

time to grow up guys

I don't have a screenshot but the front cover has a big long overdramatic message that starts out with "I feel sick writing this."

Already bored. So many of the alien worlds look horrible and there is no point exploring since every world is pretty much a different combination of colours with different creatures doing the same thing (nothing).

Like I see a cave and I think well there could be something cool in there but I know there isn't. It's just barren and there are 1 million caves just like it.

Been playing for the last 3 hours and I've visited 4 planets as well as 2 space stations so far.

Except for the colour palette and different planets having different looking plants/animals, every planet felt like the same.
Every planet had those floating robots, every planet had the same outposts/trade stations, every planet had the same kind of resources, the same kind of aliens.

I must have spent more than half the time either inside a menu or harvesting minerals. Does the gameplay ever change or have I pretty much seen and done everything there is after those three hours?

>vibe wand company makes the best hard drives
what's their secret

I have not downloaded anything since KAT went down. Any recommendations?

Actually I had no idea either.

In my defense, the game is 90 dollars where I live.

That's a pretty cool alt cover.

How can something that is being hated everywhere right now be popular? Even Steam has a low score for it, it takes a lot for those people to give anything negative scores.

If anything Sup Forums's contrarianism has been creating a lot of defenders lately. Other than that the only other place trying to damage control it is Reddit

Yes, Sean's cheeks are flopping from laughter at all the pre-order money he already has.

They take all the vibration out of their HDDs, and put it into vaginas

WD bought out Hitachi a while back, nothing new is coming from them but you can still buy old drives that came from their stock and a lot of new WDs are being made from their fabs

I use a 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar

Is the box meant to look distressed like an old science fiction book? That's kinda neat

>over 200 000 players on steam
>a flop
That's a success to me. That's 12 million dollars right there on steam alone.

Trials-esque?

The Pirate Bay?

This cover is comfy.

Who would make up the Council of Liars other than Sean Murray, Todd Howard, and Keiji Inafune?

memes aside, it's a good cover

No, you cannot. The pop-in is Flash game tier.

when it looks like shit at e3 and it never gets improved, how can you expect me to drop 60 bones on this shite?

It's not as bad as everyone says

Somewhat, it's less about careful platforming and more about collecting everything in the level and doing cool tricks

There's a level editor too

I hear the second game is garbage though

I haven't been able to fully test it out,but I'm pretty sure you can just get in your ship and fly off away from the planets and play it like a space sim. I boosted until I was an estimated 8 hours from the nearest planet and I had a couple freighter ships spawn along with a distress beacon, then a huge group of pirate fighters started attacking.

I never got to experience it fully cuz I got destroyed not too long after joining in, but it seems to me that there is more to the game than just the planets. Doesn't justify the $60 price tag if you don't like the other parts of the game.

I've only ever had HDD issues with WD 4TB models.
>several WD HDD's ranging from 250GB to 4TB
>several samsung SSD's ranging from 64GB to 256GB
>a few hitachi HDD's ranging from 128GB to 500GB

How much was their budget ?

>DESTROY

I am happy that No Man's Sky has the lowest metacritic score off all Hello Games games.

>How much was their budget ?
A pencil sharpener, two shoestrings and a band-aid.

People even implying that they haven't made their money back and then a shitload on top of that need a reality check.

Yes. Yes it is.

moron

10 people's salaries over 4 years, a few computers, a small office, and a lot of white boards.

>center of the universe is new game plus
>new game plus in a 100% procedurally generated game

...why?

Following the ever fancy Yacht Club Games budget sheet, we can get a neato rough estimation!

I let's say only about 5 members of the team worked on the game in 2012 to do the prototyping, becoming a fully staffed project in 2013 with 15 team members until launch in 2016

With the miracle of math, I'd say the budget was roughly around 6 mil
