UPDATE: The first No Man's Sky update is now out!
It's a much-awaited bundle of fixes, as well as compatibility and performance improvements and you can grab it now via GOG Galaxy auto-updates, or with the newest offline installers.



<span class="bold">No Man's Sky</span> a massive science-fiction game set in an infinite procedurally generated galaxy, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. Note that the game takes place in one persistent PC universe, shared across GOG and Steam.

In an intergalactic society, only the few set off towards the stars — explorers, those unafraid, those with nothing to lose. They set off never to come back as far as any of us are concerned. And thus, we still look up at an infinite sky, now within our reach, yet still untouched — a no man's land, a No Man's Sky.

No Man's Sky promises discovery of an infinite, uncharted universe. Its billions of stars, planets, unknown living creatures, breathtaking sights and lonely wastelands — all seamlessly connected — gradually getting catalogued by explorers drawn to the distant mysteries of the horizon, eager to leave a permanent mark in their wake.

The frontier is merciless and dangerous. Exposed to a universe of extremities in your fragile suit and ship, you'll need resources and upgrades to get far — as well as the means to stand your ground in a fight. Whether you journey to the center of it all or seek out the farthest reaches of existence, the trip will not be simple or dull. You'll catalogue things unseen, discover alien artifacts and reveal the greatest mysteries of the universe. If you survive.



Calibrate your suits for extreme insomnia, reach out and touch the <span class="bold">No Man's Sky</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com!

One of the most expansive screen saver on the market.
For me it's still No Man's Buy. Maybe when it's 90% off in an Insomnia Promo.

Naw, that'd be $6.70 CAD still, probably $5 USD. That would be way way overpriced for what this game delivers. One might think I'm being sarcastic saying that, but on this occasion I really do mean it. I've literally got hundreds of games I've bought on GOG and on Steam that I paid $0.75-$3.00 for which are hundreds of times better in so many ways in terms of gameplay and many other factors.

This game will be a fraction of the price in 6-12 months for sure, and probably even in the low tier of a PWYW bundle on Humble within a year or so. The popularity of it is plummetting as virtually nobody is finding any replay value in it (if they find any play value to begin with beyond 6-12 hours and aren't compelled to keep playing deluding themselves into thinking it will get better or something exciting will happen).

Sadly, I don't even think it will become one of those games that people want to buy and own as a piece of computer game history just to catalogue it and play it to see just how bad it is. :)

skeletonbow: Finished the game, wrote my final thoughts in the other NMS thread already just now. TL;DR version - great walking/mining simulator. :)
I think it may have turned into a refund simulator over at Steam too. :-)
Ha ha ha!

Yeah, first time I ever seen Steam post a highlighted notice on a game's store page about refunds. If I knew nothing about the game and heard nothing, and went to the page and saw 40% Mostly Negative* along with a warning about refunds I'd laugh and close the page. :)


* I haven't looked at the game's status on Steam today so it might be down to 30-35% perhaps.

So does this become NoGate, ManGate, or SkyGate? (Skygate sounds the coolest)

As a reminder of similar Scandal's, there's Driv3rGate

This game has the potential to legally stress test all refund policies for gaming platforms. If they don't refund it silently and without any question, there will be many annoyed customers out there. Trying to sue them for not refunding this fraudulent game.

Ah yes, I just learned about Drivergate a few months ago, while also learning that Watch_Dogs is essentially the new Driver games renamed so to speak. Saw a really informative and lengthy documentary about it all on Youtube someone posted.

I'd have to go with NoMansSkyGate to disambiguate. :) I shy away from putting a hash tag at the front though as I'm non-millenial so... :)

Just a matter for them to start picking it up and referring to it as such
I think we should get more of these earthquakes in the gaming world.

The state of the industry is rather poor and rapacious on customers, and these kinds of happening can instill back a little of respect of buyers (and their money).

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how big of a problem it turns out to be. One problem if I understand correctly is that every refund not only costs them the lost revenue/sale, but costs an additional amount in chargebacks from the payment processors, so they could actually end up losing money with enough refunds going through. Not sure if Steam or GOG eat losses on refunds also but I would assume that the publisher assumes all losses on chargebacks, otherwise the distributor would pull the game after a certain point to prevent losses to themselves.

Today's statistics are:

38% approval - Mostly Negative
46th place in top 100 list

So the plunge to the bottom of the top 100 list seems to have hit a temporary slight plateau of sorts, but the approval ratings continue to drop. I have to wonder though if the slowdown in dropping on the list might be from people buying the game thinking "it can't be THAT bad, I have to see for myself", however I'd presume that most people who have that mindset would probably wait for it to go on sale for at least 50-75% off or so.

What's funny is that Flappy Bird was such a simplistic game and better received globally and probably made more money with higher ratings too, and people got super frustrated by it. :)

Do you know, that the lastest drop in approval, 12 %, came from the fact, that steam did not refund the fraudulant game? They were positive reviews, before reviewers changed them to be negative.

Because of the "Steam refunds this game regardless of the playing time hoax" on the web. Hope died last. ;)

I played this game for exact 20 minutes. Started on a planet with barely anything. Mined a bit of iron. "Killed" one fucking tree for carbon. Got attacked immediatlly by the guardians. Killed two of them, only to find out, you have to recharge your fucking gun with resources, you have to harvest, too. In a gunfight ...

Ok, found the resources even without getting killed. Had manually to recharge my shield. WITHIN THE MENU. During a gunfight .... MANUALLY RECHARGE. How? Why? Have the devs ever played any type of game before?

After that, fleeing into my broken spaceshiip, hoping it had stronger shield. The assumpion proved to be correct.Then MANUALLY RECHARGING my fucking gun. Getting out, and finish off the rest of the 4 guardians.

I was OK with harvesting things, to construct new things. But I was NOT OK with manually recharging EVERYTHING in this poor excuse for a menu. I expect a hotkey for that, or, even better, autorecharge.

Seeing and undderstanding this kind of gameplay, I decided for my person, that I was not able to do this over and over and over and over again.

After that traumatic experience I deleted the game from my harddisk. My personal oppinion about this kind of gameplay and the developers is not fit seen printed here. It would be censored anyway.

In the state the game was at that point, it lacked the most basic thing I expect from a playable game.

This is a techdemo, not worth anything. Or a screensaver with some content. The price of 60$ is fraud. Simple as that.

What really sad abiout this story is, that they ruined every chance of any indie developer to get ever again 60 $ for their games ever again. They really fucked it up, not only for themselves, but for every other dev.
