So.. while I have enjoyed the initial first few hours of the game, I feel that this game failed to meet expectations of a $60 game, and in fact, some might call it downright false advertising. From the false skybox, to the lack of proper ship classes, to the lack of. really.. anything viable of a $60 game.

While I will purchase this game again at some point, I will not be paying $60 for it, and am kindly requesting a refund for this game.

Thank you GOG for your consideration.

Good luck with that...

Well, you need to put a ticket in with GOG`s customer service. I did go for a refund for another game once and I thought it was basically `no quibble`. Oh, they quibble.

I received my refund on asking. Bank took a couple of days to clear funds.

I am really forced to ask. . . how many AAA entries *are* there in the "giant space sandbox" genre? I am really curious to see what these full featured AAA versions have in the way of features.

I don't know of any modern ones that are DRM free like NMS. If you are ok woth DRM then I think there are a few decent ones out now but can't help much because I am not interested in DRM/online only requirements.

X3: Terran Conflict looks better and is more interesting than NMS.
even X:Rebirth is better.

I like the X-Rebirth games except you can`t dive to the planet.

Elite: Dangerous is a giant space sandbox, it had about the same level of interest as this for me, at the start. I'm still into this one for now though. Elite is more space, less planet stuff though.

I asked for it now as well I only played it 5 times and thats it and there really was short bursts but thats okay 1hour I saw the whole game.

No you didn't...seriously...you didn't

I refunded this game and I got my money. Don't get me wrong. No Man's Sky has a great base or canvas, but a lot of the features are missing or non-present. What was promised to us and what was shown at E3, that was what most of us were sold on. Did we overhype it? Maybe, but doesn't give Hello Games or Sean Murray the right to lie to us as a game developer. You can say it's childish for me to even do this or you might say that people in the industry have been doing this for a long time, but that's just morally wrong. It shouldn't happen.

I'm sure NMS will become a great game, tailored by the community. **In the near future** I sure didn't buy a early-access game waiting for game developers to deliver on promises they made on pre-release.

Asked for a refund, have not heard anything back yet.

I was sorely disappointed considering most of the stuff show at E3 was smoke and mirrors.

Not even the portals work, and no giant alien beasts etc...

Considering the cash they expected us to pay, you make a fair point. I paid this amount for GTA V and I GOT what I expected. NMS doesn`t even come close (and I uninstalled GTA V for this).

It`s a good base game and solid I think, but the price is too high. However, I`m going to stick this one out and expect to see great improvements in time.

I won`t be happy if in 6 months it`s still like this.

I was actually thinking about waiting it out and seeing what this game becomes.. But I uninstalled pretty much everything just to binge on this game for what was promised. But I'm sure after 6 months things will look a lot brighter for NMS. AND if it does.. I'll come back and purchase a copy.

Good luck to you, sir. I hope all that waiting will actually pull off for you in the end.
