No Man's Sky Official Megathread

[Rally]

Hey guys Rally here and I'm going to do a quick review of No Man's Sky. I've only played about 3 and a half minutes on a leaked pre-alpha copy I bought off a hobo for $2, but I don't see how that matters.

The game is repetitive. Take a look at this picture:



As you can see in this picture (REAL GAME FOOTAGE) you can see that these two rocks use the same model. Where's the variety No Man's Lie? You honestly couldn't pay me to play this game it's so repetitive. Also I went to a free computer design lecture at the local community college and they told me something about a thing called a 'gameplay loop', I don't really know what that means, but I personally don't enjoy the gameplay loop in No Blaggards Tale so that means the game is objectively bad. Also the game didn't run well on my Macbook, they told me to update my drivers but I don't know what those are. I couldn't figure out how to get off the starter planet so as far as im concerned nothing outside of the starter planet actually exists

Over all I give this game a 8.56 out of twenty billion. It's not worth $60 because I need it to pay for child support. Please follow me on tumblr for more food reviews

No game is worth $60. The entire industry is a rip-off.

From the way I see it, it really depends on how much you value your time and how much time you get out of your games. I spent $220 for Halo: Reach and got more than my money's worth, but I spent $10 on Terraria and thought it was a complete waste.

If you put it into perspective, a movie ticket is about $20 for a 2 hour (average film length) session. During that, you're locked in a dark room that you can't talk to anybody in, you can't pause to go take a piss and you can't interact in any meaningful or fun way. Now, if you like that, that's all fine, but I reckon that I'd be willing to pay $60+ for something which I'll play >30 hours in where I get complete control over my experience and it's not going to bother anybody else (except if I'm being a richardhead online).

I guess if you're used to just buying games on sale for low cost, only having a small number of games and not being acquainted with development costs, $60 can seem ridiculous. For me though, I think that's a perfect price-point. At least it wasn't the $120AUD that GTA V was when it first launched on X360/PS3.

If you were being sarcastic I apologise, but I hear a lot of people make exactly the same complaints and it annoys the forget outta me.

This is my Steam profile.

If you sort by time, you'll notice that APB is only the 5th most played game on my list, and it's the only F2P game I have over 10 hours in. Futhermore, I am well know for being a Ratchet & Clank/Halo obsessed rooster. Those games aren't F2P.

Please don't pull stuff from your arse.

All those terrible lego games.

You complain about the 60 dollar price tag of NMS but you buy every single lego game despite them all being exactly the same as the loving last one.

You also have a stuffload of games you bought you don't even play, lol.

So you buy a stuffload of stuff you don't even play, sounds like a waste of money. Why are you complaining about the price of NMS then? Seems like you like wasting money anyways.

Tony can you please loving stop. You're turning this into the same Fallout 4 fiasco that you had in the day, and here's a news flash, you're being loving irritating.

This is a really good brown townogy. I've been sitting here trying to figure out how much $60 will buy you at mcdonalds

I'm not, and never was, the one complaining about the NMS price-tag.

Futhermore, I haven't bought a single LEGO game for more than $12 (and most of them were gifted to me for free by other people or bought during Steam sales). As I've said in the past, I play them because I'm in the middle of creating an expose series on how broken and awful they are so I can compare them to the old LEGO games, which I own almost all of. If you think about it, I'm collecting 100% status in all LEGO games, including the ones before Tt Games.

You can't just say "he plays F2P games his opinion is invalid" and then say "he plays LEGO games his opinion is invalid" when I show you proof that I actually play many types of games. I never said I enjoyed playing any of those games; I just showed you where I had put the hours into as proof that I do buy and play many types of games.

Really depends on what you're eating. For me, I try to spend about $10 or less on every meal (not a healthy diet though...) so that I can keep a good savings track going which can go towards more games or other entertainment stuff.

Completely depends where you live and how decently you eat.

Anyway, the cost/hours ratio is a pretty horrid way to judge worth, TF2 will have ainfinite:0woops     something like a 50:0 value on average, and there are countless other games that can beat a 1:$2. If you want to judge it by ratio then why shouldn't anyone buy any other game.

Far better than the Lego Game hour.

You know he got almost 95% of the games you mentioned from bundles and gifts, right?

I wouldn't spend 1 dollar on the TT lego games.

I also wouldn't accept them as gifts.

Day 1394,

Reputable forum users are still acknowledging Tony like he's not trolling the stuff out of us.

I slowly await our demise.
