No Man's Sky

I see this is available for pre-order, NZD$90.

I watched a half hour long game play YouTube clip, it looks interesting enough. As always, I am concerned it will take away from my time playing ED 🙂

Anyone going to purchase?

It’s a HUGE maybe for me.

Yea, me too. It could be amazing, or it could be an overpriced tech demo.

 

Also: preorders are the devil

Yeah, good point. I’ll wait for the release, then decide.

In the words of Eric Cartman: You know what you get for pre-ordering a game? A big dick in the mouth.

I got NMS (aka No Man’s Lie on many a steam forum/review) with the PS4, so I gave it a crack.

Overpriced tech demo is an apt description.

[EDIT: Something _like_ this, but a whole lot more satisfying is Empyrion: Galactic Survival – I’m sure @Xsannz posted something about that a long while back – It’s come a long way since then]

There’s a story there to follow, but the big cons are:

• You get one ship to fly
• There doesn’t seem to be much point in ‘discovering’ flora and fauna
• Did a _lot_ of walking before finding the bits to repair my ship, which …
• at that point, I wasn’t all that inspired to keep going

In the end, I didn’t find it particularly engaging.  Certainly not worth A$50 – $60.  Having played it, I’d balk at even A$20.  Maybe worth a look at A$15 or less.

 

Oi! That's Baron von Schnellenstein to you, mate. No, it doesn't matter that I'm an Imperial Prince!

Yeah, the kids love it – but is a pretty dull game once you scratch the surface..
