A repost to remind us to never forget
We never knew how right we would be...

PSA: Star Citizen is going to be everything this game wants to be. But will actually and already does.
ShaggyUte
worst gave ever
MightyIink
You can pick out the lies from this list and it would equal more then 50%.
SassyPiplup
Too bad all of the worlds aren't very unique due to the lack of biomes and the gameplay is still balls, along with all the missing 1/
SassyPiplup
promised features, but okay. 2/
morakdais
I still enjoy it after a few updates, I bought everything and felt accomplished after a week. More than I can say for some games
upontheMorrow
I had fun the one time I played. Was I baked out of my mind? Yes, why do you ask?
papasmurf1118
+1 for honesty.
Sm9yCg
One of the bigger fuck-ups in the industry.
ererr
I got this for Xmas last year. Honestly, for it being different than other games, it is fun for like an hour every 2 months.
beardedflint
Play Freelancer, instead of this.
oskyev
YES
BoozeHound001
I bought the game, first game in years that i hopped onto the hype train. Don't get excited people it's the first step to getting hurt.
Ryssaroori
Anyone remember the Universe Project?
geochro
Jeez, after all the updates i tried this game out... it was actually fun for quite some time. Yes it is limited in content but i had fun
ShadowWolf9891
This game is actually still fun. The reason people are so upset is because Hello Games promised much more then they deliver on
AyrA
For people wondering why, the number of planets is not arbitrary but the maximum integer you can store with 64 bits.
crimsonghost1
I've been looking up since I was a child, realizing we are fucking stuck here. This game really broke my heart http://i.imgur.com/ODgn1fa
KamSolastor
Check out Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen man. Space Engineers if you like building.
Thryker
I find it really playableafter the updates, plus the fact I only pated £5 for it pre owned
RD2C
Would recommend Elite: Dangerous instead. Yeah it's a few years old, but it's a blast
krysber
Especially in VR!
KamSolastor
Check out Star Citizen too
KamSolastor
If you want something that’s semi-related, but a lot more detail, check out Star Citizen.
Hamilcar3
If they say it would take 10 years to discover every planet then wouldn't it take well over 10 years to develop them all as "unique"?
ReaLifeSmeagol
They are generated.
LlamaLingo
All snowflakes are unique but they're pretty similar still.
Hamilcar3
Like, how did anyone think that could've been an honest statement?
aerodynamit3
What's the deal with Star citizen anyway?
MrParticleboard
Basically from last time I checked, it looks like it’s coming along well, but that might just be cause I spent 40$ on it and want it to
ailceous
KamSolastor
Do you have a specific question about it, or are you asking more for a general overview?
toropazzoide
I have Space Engine, there's less stuff to do and I still love it. The only reason I don't play NMS is because I'm poor.
Daeyelle
I've spent so many 2-4 hour sessions just flying around the universe. I've got like 500 screenshots I use as desktop backgrounds
toropazzoide
Uhm are you talking about Space Engine or NMS here? XD
Daeyelle
Space engine of course!
Fragglerawker
You can buy it for $6.95 at GameStop
houseofnifty
Though Space Engine is absolutely beautiful and doesn't actively try and stop you from exploring
ProjectFoxTrot
punchlineguy
The game almost as boring as the math used to create it
Cutsforhugs
Never trust procedural generation to ever be completely unique, simple as that. Said the same thing before release, but they may 1/2
Cutsforhugs
have an algorithm for the layout, but they still need to manually make the models, AI, creatures and other assets used and those are limited
Cutsforhugs
I'd still take a decent sized, but planned and designed world like Skyrim over a larger world that I may never fully explore.
Cutsforhugs
Or hell, even dark souls. DS1 had fantastic environmental design, and the enemy placement in general for all games keeps it fresh.
Roqinn
Elite Dangerous has 100 billion star systems in it. Each with planets to land on. It also has far better graphics.
FormalDegree5
Alright but Spore was top rate
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
This is all you need to show anyone who's curious. Wait for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvAwB7ogkik
RavenousBugblatterBeast
This is supposed to deter me from wanting to play?!
Brant04
I think he's cute
CitizenDickbag
Still makes me laugh out loud like an idiot. :)
e4ter
Same, my wife got pissed cause she was in the middle of asking me a question.
AnotherRabidSquirrel
Terranoserus!
doyouevenrobot
Haven't tried it. Is the game entertaining for a week or two at least?
coltonjeffs
I enjoyed it for abput 10 hours. They have had an update since that makes the planet more colourful and more animals though
danishjuggler21
The last update made it much better. It’s still very much a niche game. Think of it this way: it’s a terrific sandbox, but a terrible game.
VintageCheddar
Yes. For 2-3 weeks I was thoroughly enjoying the exploration. Don't listen to the butthurt gamer children out there, try it for yourself.
kurizured
for me it was fun and nice to play for about the first 3-4 hours until the realization
CanadianOneDollarCoin
Yes absolutely. I enjoyed it. Form your own opinion of it though and not go by everyone else’s
dangerousDoc
Nope. Think Minecraft if minecraft only had digging
kungfufil
If ewxploration is your thing, then yes. Especially with the latest updates.
Pangs
I thought so.
PuppetOfFate
Yeah definitely. The new updates added an I terestinf story and some fun new base building elements.
ferrio
It was a rough release, but they've had quite a few big updates including multiplayer.
Korvic
Honestly, I know someone who really digs the idea of euro space truck simulators, and he adores Elite Dangerous far more than No Man's Sky.
doyouevenrobot
ED is basically space truck simulator.
Extec286
Depends on you. It's pretty sedate for the most part, more about exploring than anything else. Gets stale in a hurry though.
geiokami
More like an hour or two
CyranoDeBurlapSack
I named two planets after my kids and quit
EClaire1073
It's kinda relaxing until you start getting shot at, or you run out of a crucial element for space travel and the planet you're on doesn't
EClaire1073
fucking have any!
Philosophyinateacup
Play dwarf fortresses
Ravenbreaker
Its a fun "non game" to play. No grinding to get things done, no rush to do anything. Just fun relaxing stuff. Its got better with time.
TurnUndead
Best review I've seen on the game... https://youtu.be/uTTPlqK8AnY
akom
If you can get it for $20 or less, I'd say it'd be worth it. I bought it at launch and played 28 hours. It was fun an novel, but got old.
ProfessorDumbass
I enjoyed it for a few weeks.
Longjohnsteve
Took me approx 40 hours to completely lvl up the gun, suit, and get one of the better ships. Pretty short.
Polorboy
For about 20 minutes, then you have seen literally everything there is to see. It just repeats after that.
andreyhimself
So runescape, cs, the sims, quake, league og legends, DotA... Hmm.
yougotbiggay
Cs, league and dota all are competitive based games. 5v5 fights and you're constantly changing how you play to win the game. Very fun imo
andreyhimself
I play cs and lol daily, it is as you say. But it is repeat, with different outcome every time.
Stanleyy122sgp
It's best if you learn how to play(20 mins), then put on your favorite podcast/audiobook, grab a bottle of beer/wine and cruise the galaxy.
just4thelolz
OMG, that sounds like heaven right now!
Stanleyy122sgp
I have maybe 100 plus hours into it and have finished all 7 books of the soverign of the seven isles audio book series while playing.
carrionstorm
Listen to the stormlight archives. About 50 hours per book and there's three of them. Great story.
Cooperchurch
I
Stanleyy122sgp
Ha! I'm doing my second listen of oathbringer right now. I love all of the books in the cosmere?
Stanleyy122sgp
*cosmere. Lol no question mark.
carrionstorm
I am at the last few hours of Oathbringer and I'm fucking furious
digitalist1
I think they've updated some things... but your better off buying another game
lifeisshortsoshutthehellup
Since release there have been some major changes. The style remains the same, but there is more to do now. Base building, missions, and
lifeisshortsoshutthehellup
Scanning is now more useful. You get secondary elements from minerals after scanning. Upgrades to the flora/fauna scanner gets you more
lifeisshortsoshutthehellup
Money for scanning. I've also notice bounties are more frequent when im cruising through a system.
Sitizyn
Not the worst game ever, but also not the best.
JackHarknessNerdySidekick
It was overhyped for sure but I found it enjoyable in a certain fashion of relaxation and exploration that I haven't really felt in others
giganticroboticpenguin
The game is all about grinding for hours and hours. Some are entertained by the animals, plants, and planets but it's eventually repetitive.
sixthofdusk
I found it relaxing, once I accepted it for what it was an not for what it was marketed as.
IamTheRealBowser
The constant updates they have been putting out really improved the game since launch though.
Talligan
No, it was exactly what it was marketed as. People read too much into it, and overhyped it.
CoffeeyCore
Lol, go watch the interviews. Murray claimed it had so many things that it simply does not have.
WrongGif
Yeah no. Take more than a glance at the marketing, they "marketed" it as 10x the game it turned out to be.
CtTraceur
Originally, no. Don't know if anything had changed since then.
kungfufil
They released 3 major updates and several patches. The game has improved a lot.
DorthLous
Can't argue with that. It HAS improved a lot... I'd still give it a pass for anything > 5$ Canadian though...
CultofCedar
Apparently they had a big overhaul but I never touched the game so dunno
2ti6x
their marketing team had a weird understanding of what "unique" means...
MajorLeagueFister
Unique doesn't mean interesting, good, or of high quality. It just means unique.
Kitastrophe
Yeah, it wasn't their understanding that was off, it was the assumptions made by the audience.
Thranx
Mathematically unique!
thinkingbciam
A unique understanding, you would say
BoozeHound001
it's not exactly the same so therefor it's totally unique!
mikeatike
Or truth. In every single interview Sean Murray would just sit there and lie about the capabilities of the game.
BanadecCamberbootch
This one is purple. This one is lavender. This one is violet. This planet is... well, purple again, but with slightly more rocks.
DefinitelyMaybeNotSkynet
And absolutely no understanding of what multiplayer means.
Polorboy
Well, the rock on one planet is 5 cm left of where it is on another, that's "unique".
SingingMeAndCthulioDownByRlyehFhtagn
Mathematically unique
bradthegeek
The best kind of unique.
