This game is a huge flop

thekhurg2792d ago

This is the prime reason why no indie game should ever cost $60. Hello Games screwed over a ton of gamers with their false advertising prior to launch. And because of stingy refund policies, many people were denied refunds on this broken mess.

I didn't buy this game....not because of all the stuff going on but because it's not my style game.
That's said tho....I stood by its price, I backed it up because I believe that the more content put in a game should reflect the price.
But seeing how the lies have come to light. And how there are no apologies and stuff like the names getting erased.....yeah I hope they fail. They deserve all the flack they are getting. I dislike liers.

Pretty sure this is a bug that is related to people uploading discoveries when the game clearly says that there is no server connection (in the first week this connections went in and out constantly due to overload). In fairness the game SHOULD prevent you from uploading in that situation, but it doesn't...maybe because they assume you still want the money credits that come with it. Make sure to check the server connection message before uploading.

But otherwise, everything works fine for me. I've found one system discovered by someone else and I couldn't change things. I've put in 40+ hours already so I can't really complain too much about the price. I'm enjoying it. It's a good relaxing stress-relief game. Though I can understand why some think it should have been less.

COMMENT-OF-THE-YEAR2792d ago (Edited 2792d ago )

I have and am still enjoying this game. I come on here to check the bad news about it but it never translates to the enjoyment I get while playing.

The major gripe I can agree with however is that it's a grind fest so if that isn't your thing then yeah.. I wouldn't recommend it.

The multiplayer gripe never bothered me much. I think it would be cool if they did have but I still don't feel it's necessary and without it in many ways gives the game it's own feel. They should clear up the message on what type of multiplayer it is. I work in the I.T field in the games industry on networks and servers everyday and from what I have read.. The multiplayer they are using is similar to Destiny with very small sessions per server of about 200 people. Like in Destiny you and your friend can both be in the tower and not see each other which is the same as no mans sky, Since their is no feature to group so you both end up in the same instance.. then you won't see each other which stemmed all the hate from twitch when those to people couldn't see each other. Even if you find a planet of someone else's and they are playing as well, if they log off and back on they might be in a different instance. This is all they really have to say to the media but even then I feel people wouldn't listen as the message is already out they lied which isn't exactly true.

Definitely think they dropped the ball for the PC crowd in a way.. but reports state that less than 1% of the total people who bought the game on PC had issues so i'm torn in both directions on that one. Clearly SLI was an issue.. Poor Master Racers.

I know this isn't the popular opinion on this site and will get down voted and i'm okay with that.. I am glad I bought it as I find it fun to roam around and see all the planets and at the end of the day do I want other peoples opinion to ruin my fun and leisure time.. nah.. not really. If they don't like it.. that's fine.. don't buy it. I'm still going to enjoy it though.

@Dunban67 As long as their entertained that's a good thing no? Like isn't fun why we play games in the first place? If that brings them fun are they wrong to spend 60 dollars on it? I don't think he lied as much as didn't explain what type of multiplayer the game contains. but either way they stated don't go into the game thinking multiplayer.. like what do you want when a publisher says that.. Multiplayer? That's not their vision.

Inefune is also producing recore is he not? Meh, it doesn't matter. If you want games to fail and do bad then be my guest. Their are people attached to those studios who work day in and day out to build a vision and then their are people like you who are their to destroy that vision. I can understand not liking something.. but to the extent you are taking it.. seems kinda childish.

One of the nice things about NMS is it's really showing (especially on on N4G) who has played it and who hasn't. I personally have over 80 hrs in the game and definitely agree with a lot of complaints from people who actually played the game. But most of the boo hoo cry babies on here making ridiculous claims clearly haven't played it and it is pretty hilarious. I have a endless amount of tissues for you all. Also this specific game is really showing how toxic of a community N4G has become. At least when I became a member in Aug 2012 it was pretty much just console war garbage but now it's become an outlet for people to just hate everything and try hards trying to make people feel bad for liking things they like. After 30 years of gaming I'm starting to become embarrassed to call myself or be called a "gamer".

P.s. Article is incorrect. If you uploaded your discoveries while Online is up people can't rename anything that you have uploaded. If you don't upload stuff anyone can name. Pretty simple stuff people. Again this comment section is really showing who is pretending to have played and who are actually playing.

Kleptic2792d ago (Edited 2792d ago )

^But wait...Shouldn't the embarrassing part of being called a 'gamer' be the purchase justification that runs rampant on the other side of the fence?

Purchasers keep throwing their hands in the air about how 'we' haven't played it, so can't complain, or don't fully understand exactly what HG lied about...while the non-purchasers continue to heave 'glad I didn't buy it' stuff around...

Not saying either is worse than the other...but none of it puts the real issue in context...The game is missing things the devs said would be in it...multiple mechanics the dev discussed in multiple unrelated interviews are either not working correctly, are intentionally not in the game, or some bizarre middle ground in between....

You say you're embarrassed to be called a gamer?...I am too, but from a different direction; that this kind of stuff still results in millions of sales...NMS, week over week, lost player numbers like nothing i've ever witnessed....those are purchasers giving up...those are 'your side' declaring things aren't right...If it's just us sitting around with nothing better to do and fanning flames... why are like 80% of the original buyers seemingly done with the game?

I mean in a modern era where typically a new release is plagued with bugs/crashes...we're discussing a game plagued with bugs/crashes...that is also missing very large amounts of content/mechanics that the devs clearly explained over the past several years...and still have buyers defending it tooth and nail...

Not sure what to make of all this. I was very interested in the PC version...a close friend who was more interested bought it on day 1...and gave a firm 'no' before it became trendy to hate on it...You liking it is fine, you finding value in what you purchased is fine...but others saying it's a big mess because of the hundreds of articles about why it's a mess...does not make anything toxic...just means your opinion is clearly not as popular as general consensus right now.

Agree 2 Disagree 7

CannonB82792d ago

@Kleptic - No, the embarrassing part of being a gamer just now is all the hate and anger aimed at a developer by people who have never played the game. They have no dog in this fight. If you decided the game isn't for you or you're unhappy about the content the developer supposedly promised and never delivered, just move on. and let the rest of us, those who actually bought the game, discuss the game and whether we like it or not.

There are far too many keyboard analysts on the internet just now who seem to think they have some kind of right to shoot everything down and troll everyone, all from the safety of their keyboards. And it's that kind of aggressive anonymity that is hurting the community and will, unfortunately, drive developers away.

You go on about purchase justification, but we shouldn't have to justify our purchase. We saw a game that we liked the look of and we used our money to buy it. If you didn't buy the game, what right have you to interject yourself into a discussion about the content included in the game?

The above article was debunked about an hour after the Redditor posted it and it was diagnosed as a server bug where your progress was only uploaded if the server was online, but nobody seems to care about that. It's an issue which has been resolved and scores of (happy) game owners have reported that their progress in the game is still there. And yet N4G and the rest of the community seem to be glossing over that fact.

Stop bashing on a game you don't own and go and bother people about a game you do own. The rest of us who bought and are loving the game will continue playing it.

dumahim2792d ago

That's probably due to being disconnected from the server most of the time. I noticed it at one point too. I had a really good fitting name for a planet, and about an hour later I saw it was renamed. Eventually I noticed most of the time when I'm uploading data, there's a red circle at the bottom showing I'm not connected to the server. I think it was down more than it was up.

I hope new news sites see this...It seems like a server bugs like it takes a while for your old discoveries to re download. Please spread the word and if you are having this problem just wait and see if your discoveries will return. It seems a little bugged where as you get further and further away from your starting point you can't see your old discoveries even when you find your way back. It's like the server lags behind big time and takes a while to find the old information.

Well the article does say that solar systems and planet names were saved, it was the plants and animals that were wiped:

"So none of my named animals plants were ever saved. The system name and planet names were saved but everything elts was wiped".

-I wouldn't know as I haven't played it but if true that's really dumb for a game that wants you to discover new life and show off your discovery by giving it a name, yet its only temporary. I don't think it's a case of not being connected either, since the planet and solar systems still had their names. -Again I don't know though, just pointing out what the article said.

The assess are procedural generated. They actually use code to make the shapes and everything you see and not assets like textures. That's why this game is tiny af. Most of the data is just sound. Everything else is just generated from code or "Procedural Generation" They explain this in many interviews as well.

UnHoly_One2792d ago

How do we know that any of this stuff ever got properly saved?

Maybe the online servers were down at the time when he named this stuff originally?

I decided to pick this up on PS4 a couple days ago and I've noticed the message at the bottom of the screen multiple times that the "online services are down", and wondered what exactly that means for discoveries.

Let's be honest, though, the whole discovery thing is mostly about the money you get for it, as you know full well there is a chance nobody else would ever see it, and if they do, you likely wouldn't ever hear about it. And unless you are like this guy, you won't ever see it again yourself either.

I actually only have named a few things. I few funny animal names to make my girlfriend laugh when I show her, and I like to name planets based on some feature about them so that I can remember which one is which as long as I'm still in the system. That way if I go up to dump stuff at the space station, I can just aim at a planet and I know which one I want to go back to next by the name.

Once I'm gone, I'm likely never coming back so I don't really care what happens with the names. I'm sure some people really put a lot of time and thought into it, though, so hopefully this was just a one-off fluke.

It's not conjecture, they're all 100% verifiable facts (ie, the exact opposite of what you claim). It's false advertising, and under EU law, depicting something that isn't representative of the final product, is a breach of several Sales of Goods Acts. I know for a solitary fact that here in Ireland digital goods (amnd. 2003) that use misrepresentation as an attraction to sale is cause for litigation. Weather effects, ship fleets, planetary physics, ringed planets and flying between stars were all shown in E3 demonstrations and subsequently Steam and PSN store info pages, yet I see hide-nor-hair of any of that in my 25 or so hours with it. It would be like buying a car and finding that it has no engine...or seats...or wheel...but this shell looks pretty! "Oh it's great when you're high and/or drunk".

@artemidorus:

no, you've only presented a video made by an irate individual (so the angle of the video is going to be skewed right from the very beginning) that was carefully crafted to paint sean murray as a liar - it's the equivalent of saying, "9/11 was an inside job, here's the proof", and posting a video made by some crazy person who has compiled a bunch of "evidence" in an attempt to prove that it was. do you have 100% concrete proof that those stickers were placed there in order to cover up alleged "lies" about the game's multiplayer capabilities? you still haven't presented any proof of that, so show it to me. show me something that says that they needed to put stickers on a very specific region, and edition of box art to cover up sean murray's "lies" about multiplayer. because I can show you the statement, again, from Sony stating that it was an error that was caught after the boxes had been printed.

you also need to look up the meaning of the word conjecture before you start telling people that they have no idea what they are talking about. you're making wild accusations about sean murray being a liar, that there were stickers placed on a specific, relatively small amount of boxes in some sort of conspiracy to hide some of those alleged lies, and you have *zero* evidence to back any of it up. that's conjecture.

I have only bothered to name a few animals, most of the time I just quick upload those. I do like to name all the planets and systems, which according to this article are not wiped.

Only time I've noticed a system or planet name sometimes reverting to the default name is when another player had already discovered it, but due to the spotty online functionality sometimes I don't know somebody has discovered it until hours go by when I finally get that data from the server when all of a sudden the "undiscovered" system im in shows a planet discovered by another player.

And yes, I seem to share the same path to center of at least two other players. Kinda annoying to be honest, as its basically a race now since they are discovering everything ahead of me if I linger too long on a planet or one system. I'm hoping that will not always be the case when I start progressing further.

N4G literally does have the dumbest people making comments. I bought this game and told everyone how trash it was the first day it was out. I got nothing but disagrees and people telling me I must have not played it.

The game is bad, it's clearly not a 60 dollar game is a sham scam. Sean Murray is a liar and if you want to defend that then go ahead. This game deserves every bit of criticism because they decided full price would be appropriate. Do not buy this game and do not support liars.

I'm glad I waited, I was super close to falling for the hype.

I'm not sure whether I believe someone that thinks 'everything else' is spelt 'everything elts'. Probably not the sharpest of intellects.

This is all BS. I've gone back to my old planets and everything is fine. I know, the game was having huge server issues on day 1 but this is getting ridiculous. One person says they had a problem and it starts becoming stated fact. I'm sorry this person's discoveries disappeared, but the data doesn't get wiped away. This is pure FUD and people just trying to piss on a fantastic game.

Great game. Clearly not appreciated in its own lifetime lol...

Fucking kids bash me every time I take a hit on this overhyped crap. This game doesn't even worth $40, let alone a full priced game.

JasonKCK2792d ago (Edited 2792d ago )

You can name plants and animals? That's actually pretty cool, or it would be, or will be.

Tedakin2792d ago

This is just beyond incredible at this point..... This has to be pound for pound the biggest FU crapfest final game to hype ratio ever.

This article is now false, its been stated that this issue is no longer an issue, after a bit of time, the server was fixed and everything he named before was back to normal.

NotEvenMyFinalForm2792d ago (Edited 2792d ago )

yeah, false like players not being able to see each other was a server issues too, right? Later on data miners discovered your character doesn't even has a model to begin with, so even if people found each other online they wouldn't be able to see each other anyway. lol $60 game.

Whats that have to do with the article? Nothing.

"victim of it’s own hype" I always love this statement, the game didn't create the hype, people did, the game is a victim of cynical people, not hype.

actually, in this particular case, it's a victim of an individual jumping the gun.

RenegadeRocks2792d ago

I hope thats not true and just server error. I am still looking forward to finding someone's planet and finding funny names in there

So this is the dirty way Sean Murray wants to ensure the Universe stays fresh for new players even after a half year or year after it's release not with extensions of the universe at some point? Wow if this is true that everithing you discoverd and have named gets erased after some time really would be the next big big lie of him and it would kill the whole point of discovering things. If this is true it really would kill the last kind of appeal this game still had.

NonShinyGoose2792d ago

You get credits for uploading discoveries. The fact that they get wiped is negligible

MasterCornholio2792d ago

So you don't like The Witcher 3 because No Mans Sky is an indie game?

I don't quite follow you.

What happened with NMS also happened with AAA games in the past.

Witcher 3 is triple a...

My point being is the majority of indie games lack depth.

tanis85852792d ago

Still don't understand the appeal of the game when there are other space based games that are way better. the X3 series and Elite Dangerous come to mind.

This has been proven not true. The same guy redownloaded and reloaded the game and saw all of his discoveries again, so the stuff you discover and rename, plants, animals, planets, everything, it stays in there.
