No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer

Needs more conveyor belts.

10 years, I was a much different man when I first played this game. Part of my would like to forget the time and start fresh with all these updates.
I remember feeling like I was scammed when this was very early development and even after initial release... bros really redeemed themselves.

Ive been thinking about buying this game for ages, but im just wondering if its gotten better from the original version which i believe was a total flop?
I just recently started it for the first time.
If you're into this sort of game, it's really good. I haven't exactly played a ton of similar games to compare it to, but it's pretty hard for me to imagine a game that would do what it does better. I think if it had launched in the state it's currently in it would have absolutely blown peoples minds when it launched a decade ago.
Also since it is, at its core, a decade old game, it runs really well on my computer which is mostly made up of 10+ year old components (and on linux! I did have a little audio stuttering issue that was fixed by just adding a launch option in steam, pretty sure that was just a quirk of my particular hardware)
The story is a little weird, not bad, just maybe not what I would have chosen if I was the writer, and the story is secondary to the building and exploration in this kind of game anyway.
I could nitpick some things about the UI if I really wanted to, and the usual issues with procedurally generated content where you have a big universe to explore but it feels kind of empty (which is also kind of the point) and some of the planets start feeling kind of the same after a while.

I platted the original on PS4. Platted it again several years later on PS5. I am now playing again on PC.
Today's version is the best version.

They did for sure, and he's now careful about what he says which is smart. He learned a ton through that very public failure.
I'm looking forward to their next game.

It's basically a different game from the original. The gameplay loop is similar sure, but it doesn't even resemble the original.
Everything they said (lied) about being in the game at launch has now been in the game for a while, and they just keep going with new content. And always free.
-
This game really shows how it COULD be.
Totally fail with epic bad reviews. No giving up, putting year after year of free updates and content until the initial vision was approximated and reviews went to very positive.I dunno if I could name another game that managed that in the last 3 decades.
Issue with that is I pre-order the game before release based on false information. Gave up playing after 6 months because it sucked. When they finally got it to what they initially promised. It became almost unplayable by the amount of grinding that had to be done to even earn enough to by a freighter. Again gave up playing. So now sits on my shelf part of my collection.
Oh almost forgot when they updated they corrupted my save file so I lost all the progress I made in that 6 months. So that pissed me off as well.

I bought it on release day and got bored quickly.
I picked it back up two years ago and I played all the way through to the end.
Now I don't have much to do but play the expeditions and hunt for my favorite ships.
Currently I'm spacing bases out across each galaxy. It's still quite fun, and if you didn't complete the main story I think it's worth the purchase.

I mean you pre-ordered. You got what you deserve

I'm not gonna look up the picture but just pretend I posted the picture of makarov with the caption "remember no pre-orders"

It's decent. Exploring and collecting different things and upgrading gear is kinda nifty. Late game stuff like settlements and fleets are time gated and annoying. Planetary vehicles confused the hell out of me. Building a vehicle pad and summoning it is much more effort than just using the literal spaceship I just parked. Combat feels... Bad honestly. There's a ton of weapon attachments but only like 2 feel viable but maybe that's just me.
I remember space travel feeling pretty good. It's not bullshit like starfield (where you load screen instead of actually taking off or landing) and not complex like elite dangerous (where entry has to be planned to land near your target), but a nice arcade-y feel with sick visuals.
If you can pick it up for 20 or 30 bucks I'd say it's worth if you're looking for a moderately chill game. There's a ton to discover but it gets samey after a while.

Freighters aren't difficult to get now...
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
They just straight up give you a freighter after 3 hyper jumps IIRC

Nothing is ever perfect, but would you have preferred they did nothing, ran with the money and pissed on you? Now they just managed to disappoint you more than once. Many others seem to be happy now. For free. While the vast majority of other companies wouldn't even bother SELLING you updates.
Sure, they didn't manage to appease 100% of customers, but they really tried to make up for it. That should count for something, shouldn't it? -

I got a broken mining laser and just that gets me so far.

:::And when you say now, it's been that way since about a year after the game was released.

The motorbike can be fun, getting big jumps can be awesome, and you can explore caves easier. Other than that, yeah.
