hahahahahahahaha!!!!! :)

Fair enough, you make a good point.

I still pre-ordered and I still believe the game will be amazing. I'm not judging skeptical people so, the least you guys can do is let us be genuinely hyped for the game.

so i have elite dangerous, but i really dont understand this game how is it offline? like when you discover a new world updates the galatic map ? but how, also the interaction with other people its gonna be less interactive than elite dangerous? (becaus ewith that game you can feel alone in space sometimes )

I wold likely have done a pre-order and regarded it for a kick-stater kind of buying.
That is because the develeper tries to do something quite cool here. the following old interview shows that.

A Behind-The-Scenes Tour Of No Man's Sky's Technology

now there is preorder crap with this sale:
"The pre-order incentive for No Man's Sky includes the Horizon Omega ship — faster engines, better guns, all to kickstart your trip and help you survive longer on the interstellar journey. "
that turn me completely off.

TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit descripes why better than I can in:

Should you preorder videogames?

PS I did preorder WITCHER 3 - that was sold the right way. There is no difference between preordered version and the one you can by today.

Too many posts to read, I've been pretty much only home to sleep for a few days so I'm not going to read through them all. Nice to have it here. Since I have a huge backlog and I reserve these sort of prices for stuff on Kickstarter backing and thus more invested in I'll wait for sales in the future.

Must have not noticed this on Kickstarter or had conveniently forgotten due to personal budget reasons.

Will be interesting to see what people think of it on release. As for multiplayer I already have a number of large ones backed on kickstarter I'll never have the time once they release.

I often wonder how people get the time for all the multiplayer games, Are most of them short on scope so people go through a few or do they just have a few on the run at once.

This is a game that's going on my wishlist, where it will patiently wait while I watch gameplay videos, reviews, cool things to do, and secret spoilers, after which I will decide that there is no way I will be able to get this to run on my Laptop and wait another 4 years before purchasing.

Because in all honesty if this game does deliver on everything it promises, I definitely do not have a rig capable of running it.

I think i needed to quote you as well...

These two replies were so similar I thought they were the same and didnt notice on my phone until later.... Edited to make more sense... . Oh well.

I really tried to ignore your posts as i loath replying on my phone.... There are so many points I'd like to make, but again I'm on my phone.

For now though...just know that both your posts show evidence of totally misunderstanding the game.... Especially when you don't even understand that you can land on every planet..... EVERY PLANET.... All 18 quintillion.... Yes... QUINtillion... of them.

As for why you get to name things..... 1) its a game... 2) if you really need a realistic explaination then... Other intelligent species have already named them...you're just giving them human names?? Even Europeans renamed things that the natives had called things locally so that's not even too far off.

In the end you're either trolling, haven't watched as many videos as you say you have or will simply never comprehend the game.... And thats okay.

I'd highly suggest finding developer interviews and demos instead of simply watching a few trailer vids....

Edit... I removed some of my snarkyness.... I'm not in a good mood and it's been tiring seeing so much confusion about this game in recent days, especially after posting links to places with info that answers nearly all the questions or concerns I've seen here...so.. Here they are again...

Three good places to start for those that want to know more.

All your questions will be answered.... Mostly.

No worries... I felt "prian" was more the trolling post than yours was... I should have separated the comments better and i would have if on a proper computer with mouse and keyboard. I apologize as well... I know the game isn't for everyone and that's really okay.... But I also don't want anyone to miss or ignore this game based on false assumptions and misunderstandings either.

Here's another video with a quick run down of the recent info..

Ok, that was alot more information than i managed to dig up myself.
thanks.

Is there a shitstorm going on here or are people just happy or both? Haven't read these 11 pages but I'm happy this game is on preorder here. Not going to preorder it myself, but it's great for GOG to acquire a AAA title on preorder/release that isn't a witcher game

People aren't happy that it's $60, I agree that its not worth that much.

No man's sky is not an AAA game. It's an indie game.

This is also probably why people don't like that it's $60.

I will give my point of view on this.

Starting from the facts
At this point we know for sure that there are mechanics worth of making this product a game. If you don't want to make your own research, just trust me: they are a lot. Exploration, trade, combat, each of them developing into discovering a number of different factors (languages, trade routs, tecnologies, and fighting factions) that contribute to give them their meaning and the right to be called as they are.

Doubts and considerations
While we can easily imagine that a combination of this aspects can make for a pretty solid gameplay, the only real thing we don't know about no man's sky mechanics is their deepness. For this we have to wait for the final version of the game and its reviews. In my opinion this aspect will only affect the ones interested only in a particular branch of the game, as combat, exploration, trading, taken and rip apart from the rest of the game. This would be strange in any other game, that gives players less freedom of choice, but incredibly normal in this one: we're so used to boundaries we tend to fossilise ourselves making what is easier and faster for us to reach our goal rather than pursuing and asking for a more varied experience capable of making us use a combination of those mechanics to have... a good time.

I will finish my post giving my opinion on the preorder thing.
I personally think preorders are for those who are already happy with the facts and they don't mind the possibility of systems being less pumped than the ones in more specific games based on that mechanic. For those people, staying away from their whole personal economic state, this game is worth a full price because they know for sure that they're buying a game they would enjoy at least enough to make it worth of its price. For others I can suggest to wait and play something else in the meantime: when a review will make your head around this, the decision will be much easier. Another option is to wait for a discount that makes the facts, in your opinion, worth of the price.

Personally I love what I understand of this game but I will wait more due to the price: for me is too much for a game in this period, even if it is one that can define a new genre. Cheers everyone, sorry for the wot! :)

Almost sounds like a AAA game from all the coverage I've heard over the pas year
Though I know that doesn't define a AAA game.
