This is the only game I've ever seen that literally went from Overwhelmingly Negative to Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam (within about 7 years) 📈 EDIT: my mistake, I looked it up and it didn't hit Overwhelmingly Positive until the Echoes update (so more like 7 years not one year lol), also I should have clarified that I was referring to the recent reviews, not overall reviews. But it definitely did reach it eventually, although I agree it could certainly never overcome that terrible launch. Also it's only a good game if you cheat I would never play it legit 🤣
@@BethesdaModder Definititely NOT in one year. Hello Games risked its hide for how shit the game launched and Murray lying over and over to boost sales at launch. Luckily (for them) they ended up working on the game as promised and fixed the whole thing, plus gone the extra mile. One thing is sure though: preordering or buying Hello Games products day 1 is not a thing for me.
No Man's Sky is the greatest comeback story in videogames and I really hope Internet Historian makes an update video for it. Hello games has earned people's respect by not abandoning the game and actually listening to player feedback. Every game dev should be taking notes.
@@snactimusmaximus No Man's Sky is the space sim version of A Realm Reborn, juuuuust shy of having to nuke the actual game to make all these updates happen. I'm amazed older spaghetti code of the launch isn't messing with these new updates.
8 years of updates. No additional charge. I own it on every platform except Mac and have given gifts to friends that were interested in playing. I'm doing my part to give Hello Games money so they can keep doing what they do.
Same here. I bought it on PS4 as a disc when it first came out on the platform, lost the disc, then bought it on PC; convinced a couple of friends and / or bought it for them and then just bought the game on the PS5 for my Fiance and I to play they did phenomenal on this new update and I'm excited for light no fire and worlds part 2 now Hello Games did an amazing job over the years
If you own the game on Steam, you actually own both PC and Mac versions. So technically speaking if you play the game on steam, you own it on every platform😂
I bought it at launch and thought it was boring, but I didn't refund it. Going back to it now I am absolutely amazed at what Hello Games has accomplished. They should truly be proud of what they have built. I am a supporter of all their future projects.
@@Nav3nthe old gameplay loop is the modern one's tutorial, basically; now there's also base building, automation, trade, bounty hunting, and fulfilling side missions from NPCs. As well as following the main plot, too, but I haven't done that much so dunno how long it actually goes.
Also note that NMS Expeditions are active for 6 weeks but can be completed in a few days, you do not need to commit to them for the entire 6 weeks, unlike some Battle Passes in other games that require you to monogame in order to complete them.
@@SuperChaoticus I once spent half an hour in the air because the tornadoes kept grabbing me and throwing me so high in the sky, by the time I fell back down, another storm had started and the cycle repeated. I spent half the time annoyed and half giggling at how absurd it was 😂
Playing since the horrible launch in 2016 and NMS will forever be the best redemption story in gaming history for me. I always jump in and out over the years and im absolutely loving this new update.. its the best game to just chill and do stuff without stressing
Honestly, it's biggest saving grace is players like you who help people who casually come back. I am assuming that you're the 99% that are helpful. Nothing sucks worse than an update wiping your entire resource reserves. Then you lads come along and dump everything one needs. Thanks again, because despite what they're doing, it's the players making the true difference.
@@jamesdykes517 lol i do that from time to time yeah, and ive been blessed by others helping me aswell when i came back after some time. Its a very nice community indeed
Same here. Started playing at launch on my PS4. Then I started over from scratch on my Xbox X. I have a combined 1400 hours between the 2 consoles. I love NMS to pieces. Hello Games deserves every ounce of praise they are getting right now.
Man I remember people making RUclips videos breaking down every interview the lead developer had made, talking about his body language, how he was lying, signs that we missed, etc. And now I hear nothing but positive things about the game. It really is a lot of fun! They deserve all of their success
@@robovader7625 their office was destroyed by a flood a year and a half before launch, they had to rewrite 10 years of code and couldn't do it, there's a couple of interviews where they talk about this. Also, the game is now way past what they promised.
I’m excited for light no fire because of no man’s sky, because hello games has shown that even if they don’t get it right out the gate they are willing to stick with it until it’s good and then beyond.
you wanna know how good nms is? the initial trailer looks worse than the product we have, not just visually. the biggest thing from the trailer we lack is more diverse creature interactions
@@jokatal oh I have a wishlist of things too add, that being one. That being said seeing the initial announcement trailer in 2024, we really have come a long way, and they more than lived up to that initial trailer.
@@felixader I think we need slightly more complex npcs all around. I'm confident we'll get it eventually though. Who knows maybe that's what world's pt 2 is, making the world's feel more alive
It is a great game, but one has to like the genre to appreciate it. Everything is randomized out of possibilities and the same assets can be re-used by different quests. There is a lack of meaning to everything, but if one enjoys exploring, managing, building and crafting and cooperating there is fun to be had. But for what it is, it is a wonderful game that got redeemed.
I think playing through the storyline is worth the purchase price alone. The fact that you can go on playing the same character after the end of the story is a bonus, but it does get boring eventually. I popped back for Expedition 14 which took me about 5 evenings to finish. My main character has farms built for everything essential now (gold, oxygen, sulpher etc.) and runaway mold farms for nanites, so I can buy anything I want anytime I want. I'm not into building huge bases just for the sake of it. All the same I put a lot more hours into this than Starfield.
@@ziploc2000 That's right. However, the frigate crew incidents sounded much more interesting than what players can experience, but overall the update is still a good step forward. You've essentially played through the game, as have I; now I like to pop back into the game every now and then to see what's new and scan planets. My base is on the freighter and I hardly spend any time building bases on planets. Because the last animal on planets is sometimes hard to find, I'm also thinking of giving up scanning, because the last animal has always taken the fun out of the game for me sooner or later.
Makes sense that they test and iterate on tech that they will use in their next game. They can already get sales from it, players are happy, and the new game has less technical risk.
Such a crazy way of doing business! Risky too.... I mean, look at Arkane Studio. They were a team known for making immersive sim games and had zero experience in FPS games, along with almost none of their technology of experience from their previous games being transferable, and they absolutely nailed it with Redfall! Oh.....wait. Sarcasm over. Isn't it wild when people who specialize in something continue to further develop their specialization, versus throwing everything they're good at out the window and doing something where they're forced to learn everything from scratch with no clue whether or not they'll be any good at it?
@@1_underthesun Comes down to management who has no clue about technology and runs after market trends and quarterly statements to earn a bonus. Studios like Larian have a CEO who actually knows about games and game production.
Funnily enough I was a lot more forgiving on the original release then i would normally be for most games, while it had tons of issues, I did appreciate how ambitious it was and at the time I knew they were a small studio and took their claims with a massive grain of salt.
Same here. Even though i was disappointed about some things, i still sunk about 80 hours into it before any updates came out and I got bored. But every time ive come back over the years so much has been added that its hard to keep track of lol.
It is now arguably one of, if not the best space exploration game out there. I've been playing on and off since day 1 and I'm so glad Sean and his team never gave up on this gem. It really is an incredible come back story.
But there is no exploration. Planets dont have POI, planets contain only one biome, in space there is no interesting POI. Game dont have fraction and living universe like in X4, dont have interesting space like in Underspace. It is mediocre sandbox. Empyrion is much better
lol best space exploration, you say? What a load of bollocks. After looking around one planet, maybe two, the rest of it is the damn same with a different coat of paint. Best exploration, my foot.
5:58 - actually they've been doing that ever since the very first update. Base building was never promised or mentioned in the interviews, yet they did it in their very first update, as well as added tons of features never mentioned anywhere over the years.
the full spectrum swing of my level of respect for sean murray and his team is crazy, they really dug in their heels and restored the reputation for their product developing a game is hard enough, now you have to work even harder to undo its bad rep and they've stuck with it for 8 fucking years, what a huge achievement
As much as I really dig the core game concept of No Mans Sky, I'm more excited to actually get my hands on and _play_ Light No Fire as a variation on that concept. It just seems like an inherently more refined version of it, pulling back from a whole universe to a single planet feels like it has more potential for immersion.
What I like about no man sky is the fact that it is a story of a man who never stopped dreaming, even when the whol gaming world hated him. He sticked to his dream and created something amazing. And that is why I believe in light no fire.
I downloaded it for the first time last week and I'm in love with it. Everything from the graphics, gameplay, playerbase to soundtrack. As an elite dangerous fan it scratches that itch that all other space game seems to miss
Under the assumption that Light No Fire will be very successful, i can see myself bouncing back between these games whenever i get my "minecraft" fix for a given game theme.
Big shout out to the truly dedicated players that put up with the bs. Every time someone needs something you lot rush in to insure this game survives. The RPG players in one area of the galaxy building lore, the guys in the hub giving out resources, and any one who helps or even enhances the experience through their own initiative. Thank god they kept going, and thank god every time the truly dedicated players stuck through. I feel like they should look at the records and say hey, what do you have in the game plus how long, here's your reward and our thanks.
I purchased No Man's Sky at launch, in the 8 years it has been out they have not charged me once. Yet have consistently released impactful content. QoL updates that were not only asked for but ones that fundamentally improved overall feel. And have now totally reworked a core system of the game just to make it feel that much better. And they seemingly have plans for more before the end of the year. Without question they have earned our money and respect.
Lmao, same. I just bought the game last week and thought "Okay, this expedition kinda starts out nice and cozy. Verdant planet. Wtf giant Sauron Eye". I just ran my ass off planet as soon as I get my ship. Eardog Sigma?
I haven’t really played since starting it thought cause the game is REALLY laggy for me for some reason despite me just building a new computer and stuff. It ran just fine on my old laptop too weirdly
Using NMS as a test bed for the technology for the next game, while at the same time improving and expanding NMS and buying a lot of community good will, is a very smart strategy
This redemption arc is what's possible when you don't have a bunch of bloodsucking shareholders insisting that you cut every corner possible to make their dividend checks fatter and fatter.
well, bethesda already tried... they made starfield and really drove the point home for a lot of people for why no mans sky is so great... the only reason to really look back and remember starfield at all is the ship building and customization and thats simply because you can't do it in no mans sky ... yet...
I'm not sure a big studio can do what Hello Games have done. They have so much overhead and so much pressure to release the "next big thing" no matter what shape it's in. Imagine going into an executives or shareholders meeting and saying. "We're going to issue free updates for eight years until we have the game we promised." They'd skin you alive! Looks like I'm going back to NMS, yet again, and Light No Fires is going on the wish list.
@@realhorrorshow8547 yes they have such a big studio they should have been able to deliver on launch. But now not only are we getting 100 dolars games, but they often are full of micro transactions.
I dunno if they have added multiple biome planets yet, but if they manage to do that that will be a massive win to have earth like planets with many different varied biomes
Seeing the greatness of NMS now makes me even more hype for Light No Fire. I hope that even during its launch and life cycle that NMS still gets those juicy updates
No Man's Sky is the greatest exploration game of all time, and it's even more than just an exploration game. Great writing, Great story, great art! This and Cyberpunk are the two greatest achievements in gaming history, in my opinion. If you haven't tried it, you should. It's better than you think it is. Sean, I'll back you in anything you do, you earned it. Someday when I'm pursuing my dev career, I'm going to come find you!
NMS was definitely oversold at the beginning, but it was decent without the hype. Now it's changed and improved so much it's an entirely different game and close to the hype, something I never expected
Decent ? It was barely qualifying as a game, more like a glorified tech demo. And it was sold on promises of things that didn't exist (remember the controversy around the alleged multiplayer functionality that wasn't even there ?), while also being an awfull buggy mess. That wasn't a decent game in any way, and certainly not worth the full price it was sold for. Sure the overhyping didn't help and led to the huge backlash it got, but on the other hand without it the game would have simply fallen into obscurity. Certainly it's a nice redemption story, but it has also sent quite a bad message to the game industry : that you can sell some unfinished, buggy mess as a game, as long as you promise to fix it later. It's not an example that should be followed.
@@Butelish yeahhhh... while I do respect the studio for working to improve it, last time I played maybe a year ago it was still the same boring experience I had at launch.
@@TheNatosI understand, yea the AMBITIOUS features that was originally was gonna be in the game, are still not unfortunately. 😢 And personally, i prefer the art style of that originally build, not talking about the release game version. Cuz the release game had downgraded graohics specifically the lighting effects and more simplified terrain and props!
Over 2100 hours in and I absolutely love this game. The update was a welcome one that does do so much for many planets. They're far less dull, some even gorgeous to look at now. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves space / planet exploration. You won't find a better game out there.
A lot of Light No Fire art feels like it's straight out of the Dragon Riders of Pern paperback coverart, this looks like good stuff! I'm a little overwhelmed with all the features and things that NMS has given to me, but I am so glad that it has been a success! I cannot wait for Light No Fire, it will be a day one purchase for me. I'm even hoping I can run a dedicated server for myself and my friends starting day one, if it isn't broken anyway xD.
@Dave_Nosdivad not really, the sales of the game funded the comeback, if anything sony is what made them release the game in it's original state because big publishers want things done on a deadline, something that indie companies cannot always do, especially on such an ambitious project, with a team of 15 people if memory serves. Their comeback story is their success alone.
Got much respect for the team. Considering how dire it looked at launch and where they're at now shows you the determination they had to make something good.
Wow! I got No Man’s Sky like over two years ago on sale and the reason was because it supports VR and I have a VR headset and wanted to play it for the first time in VR. Sadly never got around to it yet. With this update maybe it’s now a perfect time to play this in VR.
you are in for a fucking experience. my advice. savor each step of the main story, drag it out and explore rather than beeline it. it will be far more enjoyable the further you branch out and learn everything before completing the main story, all the pieces of the story will come together that much better if you learn the lore of each race and their languages before taking on the atlas path imho.
I'm almost exclusively a VR gamer these days I and I just got No Man's Sky 2 weeks ago. I'm loving it. It does take a beefy system to play though. The feeling immersion and scale is amazing. There are a few bugs I hope they get worked out. The most annoying one for me your body doesn't turn right if you turn physically so you can end up looking at your own back. I've reported it. Hopefully they'll fix it. VR is less polished than flat screen mode. But even with that bug and some other minor weirdness I'm hooked.
I love just getting home from work checking out the coordinates database and exploring new bases and discoveries. This game passes the vibe check for 8 years straight
"more dense rendering of foliage" I mean last 3 times i played i would run around, stand still. and then it took a solid 30 seconds for all the foliage and details to pop into existence... having it be more dense is sure going to be interesting. (and it's not just me with that issue based on the sheer number of replies on the thread i made about it)
@@simon88397 oh damn. that's good to know. Ill give it another try sometime then. because that issue was really turning me off from playing before. it's also weird because in the past i never had the issue. or didn't notice it. and quite enjoyed the game. but it became so damned jarring at some point.
Light no fire could be so good. I have always thought "why dont gaming companies use proc gen to simulate a world and then go in after to curate it?" And someone is finally doing it. You can get way more scale without feeling like theres no point to being in an area or that you wont miss something if you run through it.
I played for about an hour at launch, then refunded. Decided to give it another shot based on what people were saying and I've put in quite a few hours over the last couple weeks. They absolutely came a long way and put a lot of effort into this game which is refreshing to see.
Have considered this, but the publicity will be bad if they did this ..I DO think LNF is the ancient history of the NMS universe - another simulation and where the anomaly/travelers started.
i really hope they do things like removing di-hydrogen crystals, because these certain things that are exactly the same on every planet makes it feel like you haven't gone anywhere new
While I play it solely on Switch, I am so grateful that I bought No Man's Sky when that port came out in 2022. It's become one of my favorite games to boot up and screw around in for a couple hours at a time. It may not be as robust as the PC and Stronger Console Builds, but Worlds Part One has still made a huge difference in the quality of the game. I seriously cannot wait to see what's in store for Part Two. I'm kind of hoping that the devs can instill a way to bring in Gas Planets and interact with Stars.
I exclusively play in VR ❤and it is…a breathtaking experience. I’ve got over 2000 hours in game, over half of which was in VR. This game, has become the destination for gamers of all kinds, playstyles, and preferences. They have FPS, TPS, VR, and multi platform crossplay its….insanity. Yes there are bugs but it’s not game ending, everything is free, and the community is amazing. This Game is the Comeback Kid of Gaming.❤
I'm actually one of the few that enjoyed my time in No Man's Sky as at that time I wanted to explore everything I could find on one planet, expecting it all to add together and repeat when I went to the next planet. When I stopped playing was when I went to the second planet and played for a bit before scratching my head in confusion as I found many techs but not the hyperdrive one I needed to go to different systems. So I stopped playing for a short bit thinking it was a bug and then saw the news about people hating it and finding out I got rather lucky from myself not wanting to move on from one planet to another till I had gotten most if not everything done with it. I haven't returned to the game yet as I did then see the writing on the wall when I looked back on my second planet's experience with the terrain being same-ish and then thought it wasn't going to be fixed or redeemed especially as I didn't like the idea of the cargo ship or base building update since those just felt like that they didn't fit with what the story premise was that I purchased it for. Which was, "Be a nomad wondering through the universe ever drawn towards the center of it not ever knowing why but find out possible hints and bit lore along the way while additionally rarely finding signs of someone else having come before you", I still don't know what was at the center of the universe as I heavily kept myself away from it incase I did want to ever return to the game and finish what I had started.
I taught my 7 year old son about space using NMS, and now he is fascinated with the universe. I also explained to him that we can't travel to the stars yet but showed him some rocket launches and the moon landings. He did want to be a pizza delivery guy (he loves garlic pizza), but now he wants to build rockets when he's older instead.
I love NMS so much (I've bought it on 3 different platforms over the years). I'm so happy to see new people coming in and enjoying it. Hello Games are a genuine marvel, I absolutely love their redemption arc. Great video!
This came out when i was 14, and it gave me an escape from home life and the lack of school since i had to drop out. It took a little more imagination back then, but i havent ever felt like its a bad game, and its been amazing to grow with the game, even if i took a break for a few years when i went to college to catch up on my education.
Been playing it since day 1, since the bad launch back in 2016. Its be a rollercoaster of a journey...if the rollercoaster was just going up and up and I never seem to drop down the other side :)
Well I am now getting back into playing action VR games and just recently purchased "No Mans Sky" for my PC, so I will be a beginner at this game. I have watched many you tube videos on the game and looks very exciting to play. There is so much to this game to learn and explore. Thanks for your video on about the updates for the game.
some guy commented a few days ago below another video: "The greatest redemption arc in gaming history". I think he is absolutely right. Never seen anything like this.
It feels more like they are experimenting with NMS now to feel out what could work for Light no Fire and I’m all for it. Back when they launched NMS they had way to little experience and pressure to release not can do what they want at their own pace and I really hope they thrive with this development and we will feel it in their next game
@@SakasaHigurethat’s what makes them such outliers. Many others would have grabbed all that money they made from pre orders and just ran with it. It takes a lot of balls to admit to your mistakes and fix the problems free of charge and to me that speaks for a lot of passion. Sure NMS was a shitshow but how they handled it showed their true colours. That’s doesn’t mean I’ll forgive them if they do it again they get one free pass and it is already wasted with NMS the next game better be finished from the start
@@SakasaHigure I was there, I ordered it and refunded it, ended up rebuying it. Everything since the launch is why they are legendary. 8 years of major updates, all free, zero DLCs. They stuck with the game and improved it, instead of just giving up on it.
If you want the Normandy, use a save game editor to activate it! I don't consider it cheating because if you're away for a while, or just don't hear about an event, then you're "locked" out.
I've been off and in with No Mans Sky since release always excited to play after the new free updates. Hello Games has truly set the standard on how studios need to conduct business. I have over 40hr on the new update. The water and clouds are now chefs kiss
Dealing with environmental effects was one of my favorite parts about NMS. I had a huge adventure on a hazard world using a submarine to scan for downed ships while dipping in and out of the water to avoid weather. I should've went to the hazard universe. I wish there was more bio ship types though. At least I get to pretend to be the X Universe's Xenon while in a sentinel ship though.
NMS is definitely good. As a legacy player and build master, the game keeps giving. Hello games have never given up and continue dishing out update after update.The Worlds update is more than cool.
@7:20 yes, I love storms. They are exactly cozy. Once you get the appropriate tech upgrades, the various storms become a non-event. Just feed it more Sodium or whatever. Did they make the storms more menacing? Cause I might like them even more.
As soon as you mentioned the Normandy update... I realised that I have been thoroughly immunised to FOMO. A few years ago, I would have probably been heartbroken about missing out on it. But now I don't want to play this game because of it... It's a shame, really. The constant exposure to FOMO in games over they years had an effect... just not the one executives probably hoped for...
Comparing NMS from launch to present day is like night and day. It looks like a completely different game. I respect how the developers committed to this game and evolved it.
not mans sky core problem is the gameplay loop. you land on a planet, admire the view for about 5s, then go around looking for resources and POI's. during the search, you lose fuel, which leads to looking for fuel... after getting to the POI's, you inventory might get clugged. you return to "home base" sell stuff, do fuck all with thouse money units... and the cycle begins again.
Ngl i hope the dev team for nms is feeling happy. Not just any happy though, that one true, concentrated, pure, happy, that you remember from when you were a kid and ever since youve been chasing that 2nd hit
I think there's a lot to be said about the iterative model of game development, instead of trying to do everything during development, instead you build something modest and then slowly add more things over time.
man, the amount of backlash these devs got in the beginning, they deserve 100x the amount of praise now. they are the prime example for any game studio out there.
I know it is/was cool to hate the game when it came out, I am one of the ones who loved even back then, but then I am an older gamer and I grew up with 8-bit open world games like Mercenary:Escape from Targ/Mercenary: The Second City on the Commodore 64 and of course the original Elite game also Commodore 64, so even on release NMS was amazing to me. and now well the new update, watching the waves in a storm wash over the landing pad on a water base is amazing and makes me think of scenes from Star Wars:The Bad Batch... which is what I want in games like is to be reminded of Pop-Sci from all time, the only down side to NMS now is any old bases get covered in earth/soil and you have to clear the base again, only now any dirt you remove from inside the base no longer only leaves the inside of the base, it ignores the walls and takes from the terrain outside as well, but thats a small grip really, the game is brilliant!

Still boring…12 years of development 8 years post release and they get a gold star….
Expect better for yourself
Same boat here. I thought it was fun just ultimately boring, a ship collector. Now, you actually have communities.
Also note that NMS Expeditions are active for 6 weeks but can be completed in a few days, you do not need to commit to them for the entire 6 weeks, unlike some Battle Passes in other games that require you to monogame in order to complete them.
100% game for adults lol with children. .

@@SuperChaoticus I once spent half an hour in the air because the tornadoes kept grabbing me and throwing me so high in the sky, by the time I fell back down, another storm had started and the cycle repeated. I spent half the time annoyed and half giggling at how absurd it was 😂
🤣🤣 then cant find your ship and die lol
@@felixader I am always empty when this happens
this happened to me I was so scared I immediately dug a hole
Playing since the horrible launch in 2016 and NMS will forever be the best redemption story in gaming history for me. I always jump in and out over the years and im absolutely loving this new update.. its the best game to just chill and do stuff without stressing
Honestly, it's biggest saving grace is players like you who help people who casually come back. I am assuming that you're the 99% that are helpful. Nothing sucks worse than an update wiping your entire resource reserves. Then you lads come along and dump everything one needs. Thanks again, because despite what they're doing, it's the players making the true difference.
I’ll agree I came way later but this fascinating story may be more of the reason why I bought the game other than the setting and I don’t regret it.
@@jamesdykes517 lol i do that from time to time yeah, and ive been blessed by others helping me aswell when i came back after some time. Its a very nice community indeed
I was a day 1 player too, and sometimes I wish I could go back and play that original game, just to really feel how far things have come.
Same here. Started playing at launch on my PS4. Then I started over from scratch on my Xbox X. I have a combined 1400 hours between the 2 consoles. I love NMS to pieces. Hello Games deserves every ounce of praise they are getting right now.
Man I remember people making RUclips videos breaking down every interview the lead developer had made, talking about his body language, how he was lying, signs that we missed, etc. And now I hear nothing but positive things about the game. It really is a lot of fun! They deserve all of their success
So many would fold from the internet hate alone .
He still lied though. And the game is still not yet anywhere near what was promised.
@@robovader7625if you’ve watched The Engoodening of NMS and still think that… you will never see out your own ass.
@@harperion2492 That video is nothing but blind fanboyism.
@@robovader7625 their office was destroyed by a flood a year and a half before launch, they had to rewrite 10 years of code and couldn't do it, there's a couple of interviews where they talk about this. Also, the game is now way past what they promised.
I’m excited for light no fire because of no man’s sky, because hello games has shown that even if they don’t get it right out the gate they are willing to stick with it until it’s good and then beyond.
you wanna know how good nms is? the initial trailer looks worse than the product we have, not just visually. the biggest thing from the trailer we lack is more diverse creature interactions
I feel like that's a key ingredient if you're creating a virtual alien ecosystem
@@jokatal oh I have a wishlist of things too add, that being one.
That being said seeing the initial announcement trailer in 2024, we really have come a long way, and they more than lived up to that initial trailer.
I remember the first time I heard of the game was from a machinima happy hour sketch, now I consider it a better space game than starfield
@@felixader I think we need slightly more complex npcs all around. I'm confident we'll get it eventually though. Who knows maybe that's what world's pt 2 is, making the world's feel more alive
@@alexello1189 no joke, i wish starfield have same system but with its rpg element, nms just what starfield supose to be.
It is a great game, but one has to like the genre to appreciate it.
Everything is randomized out of possibilities and the same assets can be re-used by different quests. There is a lack of meaning to everything, but if one enjoys exploring, managing, building and crafting and cooperating there is fun to be had.
But for what it is, it is a wonderful game that got redeemed.
I think playing through the storyline is worth the purchase price alone. The fact that you can go on playing the same character after the end of the story is a bonus, but it does get boring eventually.
I popped back for Expedition 14 which took me about 5 evenings to finish.
My main character has farms built for everything essential now (gold, oxygen, sulpher etc.) and runaway mold farms for nanites, so I can buy anything I want anytime I want. I'm not into building huge bases just for the sake of it.
All the same I put a lot more hours into this than Starfield.
@@ziploc2000
That's right. However, the frigate crew incidents sounded much more interesting than what players can experience, but overall the update is still a good step forward.
You've essentially played through the game, as have I; now I like to pop back into the game every now and then to see what's new and scan planets. My base is on the freighter and I hardly spend any time building bases on planets. Because the last animal on planets is sometimes hard to find, I'm also thinking of giving up scanning, because the last animal has always taken the fun out of the game for me sooner or later.
Makes sense that they test and iterate on tech that they will use in their next game. They can already get sales from it, players are happy, and the new game has less technical risk.
Such a crazy way of doing business! Risky too.... I mean, look at Arkane Studio. They were a team known for making immersive sim games and had zero experience in FPS games, along with almost none of their technology of experience from their previous games being transferable, and they absolutely nailed it with Redfall!
Oh.....wait.
Sarcasm over. Isn't it wild when people who specialize in something continue to further develop their specialization, versus throwing everything they're good at out the window and doing something where they're forced to learn everything from scratch with no clue whether or not they'll be any good at it?
@@1_underthesun Comes down to management who has no clue about technology and runs after market trends and quarterly statements to earn a bonus. Studios like Larian have a CEO who actually knows about games and game production.
Funnily enough I was a lot more forgiving on the original release then i would normally be for most games, while it had tons of issues, I did appreciate how ambitious it was and at the time I knew they were a small studio and took their claims with a massive grain of salt.
Same here. Even though i was disappointed about some things, i still sunk about 80 hours into it before any updates came out and I got bored. But every time ive come back over the years so much has been added that its hard to keep track of lol.
Oh absolutely, they released it at a time where the technology was still only just available for the first time and still in its infancy.
It is now arguably one of, if not the best space exploration game out there. I've been playing on and off since day 1 and I'm so glad Sean and his team never gave up on this gem. It really is an incredible come back story.
agreed
But there is no exploration. Planets dont have POI, planets contain only one biome, in space there is no interesting POI. Game dont have fraction and living universe like in X4, dont have interesting space like in Underspace. It is mediocre sandbox. Empyrion is much better
nope
lol best space exploration, you say? What a load of bollocks. After looking around one planet, maybe two, the rest of it is the damn same with a different coat of paint. Best exploration, my foot.
5:58 - actually they've been doing that ever since the very first update. Base building was never promised or mentioned in the interviews, yet they did it in their very first update, as well as added tons of features never mentioned anywhere over the years.
the full spectrum swing of my level of respect for sean murray and his team is crazy, they really dug in their heels and restored the reputation for their product
developing a game is hard enough, now you have to work even harder to undo its bad rep and they've stuck with it for 8 fucking years, what a huge achievement
Bought the game last week. Already 30 hours in!
As much as I really dig the core game concept of No Mans Sky, I'm more excited to actually get my hands on and _play_ Light No Fire as a variation on that concept. It just seems like an inherently more refined version of it, pulling back from a whole universe to a single planet feels like it has more potential for immersion.
What I like about no man sky is the fact that it is a story of a man who never stopped dreaming, even when the whol gaming world hated him. He sticked to his dream and created something amazing. And that is why I believe in light no fire.
I downloaded it for the first time last week and I'm in love with it. Everything from the graphics, gameplay, playerbase to soundtrack.
As an elite dangerous fan it scratches that itch that all other space game seems to miss
Under the assumption that Light No Fire will be very successful, i can see myself bouncing back between these games whenever i get my "minecraft" fix for a given game theme.
I love it. It's not everyday that we can get news of "bad thing does its best and is now good, now becoming even better, people are happy".
Sean released NMS and got " "threats, now he he send emojis and everyone loves him. I love it, the team all deserves the love.
Thank you.
"Systems repaired"
lmao each expansion: "Technology..Installed"
@@SlavTiger lol. exactly
*units received*
NMS is so much better now, and to think all of these major updates in the past 8 years have been free. Other companies would have made them DLCs.
Big shout out to the truly dedicated players that put up with the bs. Every time someone needs something you lot rush in to insure this game survives. The RPG players in one area of the galaxy building lore, the guys in the hub giving out resources, and any one who helps or even enhances the experience through their own initiative.
Thank god they kept going, and thank god every time the truly dedicated players stuck through. I feel like they should look at the records and say hey, what do you have in the game plus how long, here's your reward and our thanks.
There is another step. Overwhelming positive.
And we all know, its only a matter of time
100%
It can't be understated just how much immersion good grass and flora add to this game. I'm finally hooked after 8 years of owning it.
I purchased No Man's Sky at launch, in the 8 years it has been out they have not charged me once. Yet have consistently released impactful content. QoL updates that were not only asked for but ones that fundamentally improved overall feel. And have now totally reworked a core system of the game just to make it feel that much better. And they seemingly have plans for more before the end of the year. Without question they have earned our money and respect.
The newest expedition started out crazy for me cause there was the *LITERAL EYE OF SAURON (just the eye, not the tower) STARING DOWN AT ME IN THE SKY*
I know that thang will kill you don't shoot it. it sucks you up.
Lmao, same. I just bought the game last week and thought "Okay, this expedition kinda starts out nice and cozy. Verdant planet. Wtf giant Sauron Eye". I just ran my ass off planet as soon as I get my ship.
Eardog Sigma?
@@haveiszalfaroqie1628pretty much my reaction too lol
I haven’t really played since starting it thought cause the game is REALLY laggy for me for some reason despite me just building a new computer and stuff. It ran just fine on my old laptop too weirdly
@@Goblin_Hater_37other stuff have this instability too? Did you test the ram?
Using NMS as a test bed for the technology for the next game, while at the same time improving and expanding NMS and buying a lot of community good will, is a very smart strategy
More games need to go the No Man's Sky route. Don't back down, update and update until your vision becomes true
No, failed games should go the No man's sky route. Games in generally shouldn't have such a horrible launch to begin with
This redemption arc is what's possible when you don't have a bunch of bloodsucking shareholders insisting that you cut every corner possible to make their dividend checks fatter and fatter.
💯
If this is what a small company can do, imagine what bethesda could do to elder scrolls 6 and bioware did to dreadwolf if they actually tried.
well, bethesda already tried... they made starfield and really drove the point home for a lot of people for why no mans sky is so great... the only reason to really look back and remember starfield at all is the ship building and customization and thats simply because you can't do it in no mans sky ... yet...
@@dustinbaugh601 Pretty sure you can make custom ships now
I'm not sure a big studio can do what Hello Games have done. They have so much overhead and so much pressure to release the "next big thing" no matter what shape it's in. Imagine going into an executives or shareholders meeting and saying. "We're going to issue free updates for eight years until we have the game we promised." They'd skin you alive!
Looks like I'm going back to NMS, yet again, and Light No Fires is going on the wish list.
@@realhorrorshow8547 yes they have such a big studio they should have been able to deliver on launch.
But now not only are we getting 100 dolars games, but they often are full of micro transactions.
@@dustinbaugh601 yeeeeah custom ships have been a thing in NMS for the last 2 updates, now.
I dunno if they have added multiple biome planets yet, but if they manage to do that that will be a massive win to have earth like planets with many different varied biomes
I don't think they will ever do that.
Holy crap, the good feels in this report. Thanks, guys, for talking about this.
Seeing the greatness of NMS now makes me even more hype for Light No Fire. I hope that even during its launch and life cycle that NMS still gets those juicy updates
You should preorder
No Man's Sky is the greatest exploration game of all time, and it's even more than just an exploration game. Great writing, Great story, great art! This and Cyberpunk are the two greatest achievements in gaming history, in my opinion. If you haven't tried it, you should. It's better than you think it is.
Sean, I'll back you in anything you do, you earned it. Someday when I'm pursuing my dev career, I'm going to come find you!
1000% this is my Minecraft lifetime game.
NMS was definitely oversold at the beginning, but it was decent without the hype. Now it's changed and improved so much it's an entirely different game and close to the hype, something I never expected
it is same game with same gameplay loop and same dead ingame universe
Decent ? It was barely qualifying as a game, more like a glorified tech demo. And it was sold on promises of things that didn't exist (remember the controversy around the alleged multiplayer functionality that wasn't even there ?), while also being an awfull buggy mess. That wasn't a decent game in any way, and certainly not worth the full price it was sold for.
Sure the overhyping didn't help and led to the huge backlash it got, but on the other hand without it the game would have simply fallen into obscurity.
Certainly it's a nice redemption story, but it has also sent quite a bad message to the game industry : that you can sell some unfinished, buggy mess as a game, as long as you promise to fix it later. It's not an example that should be followed.
@@Butelish yeahhhh... while I do respect the studio for working to improve it, last time I played maybe a year ago it was still the same boring experience I had at launch.
@@Butelishit’s a game that has so much to do but doesn’t tell you what to do. It’s up to the player what to do. It’s up to YOU. It’s like Minecraft.
@@TheNatosI understand, yea the AMBITIOUS features that was originally was gonna be in the game, are still not unfortunately. 😢
And personally, i prefer the art style of that originally build, not talking about the release game version. Cuz the release game had downgraded graohics specifically the lighting effects and more simplified terrain and props!
You know, I haven't played since like 2020, and I think it's time to jump back in again. This looks incredible.
Over 2100 hours in and I absolutely love this game. The update was a welcome one that does do so much for many planets. They're far less dull, some even gorgeous to look at now. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves space / planet exploration. You won't find a better game out there.
A lot of Light No Fire art feels like it's straight out of the Dragon Riders of Pern paperback coverart, this looks like good stuff! I'm a little overwhelmed with all the features and things that NMS has given to me, but I am so glad that it has been a success! I cannot wait for Light No Fire, it will be a day one purchase for me. I'm even hoping I can run a dedicated server for myself and my friends starting day one, if it isn't broken anyway xD.
I forgot all about those books! I need to re-read those, thanks for the reminder.
No man's sky did a come back. Please don't have to do that again Hello Games
I suspect they've learned their lesson on making deals with Sony.
@@majdeath123 honestly, I really think that Sony's deal was what funded the comeback.
@Dave_Nosdivad not really, the sales of the game funded the comeback, if anything sony is what made them release the game in it's original state because big publishers want things done on a deadline, something that indie companies cannot always do, especially on such an ambitious project, with a team of 15 people if memory serves. Their comeback story is their success alone.
@Dave_Nosdivad totally the opposite after Sony cried in court
@@mikeuk666 in court? What are you talking about?
The FPS gremlins cannot parse the magnificence that is No Mans Sky
Just tried it, it’s amazing how immersive and beautiful it is while just getting lost in space
Got much respect for the team. Considering how dire it looked at launch and where they're at now shows you the determination they had to make something good.
Wow! I got No Man’s Sky like over two years ago on sale and the reason was because it supports VR and I have a VR headset and wanted to play it for the first time in VR.
Sadly never got around to it yet.
With this update maybe it’s now a perfect time to play this in VR.
you are in for a fucking experience. my advice. savor each step of the main story, drag it out and explore rather than beeline it. it will be far more enjoyable the further you branch out and learn everything before completing the main story, all the pieces of the story will come together that much better if you learn the lore of each race and their languages before taking on the atlas path imho.
@@SlavTiger There’s a story? Now I’m piqued.
I'm almost exclusively a VR gamer these days I and I just got No Man's Sky 2 weeks ago. I'm loving it. It does take a beefy system to play though. The feeling immersion and scale is amazing. There are a few bugs I hope they get worked out. The most annoying one for me your body doesn't turn right if you turn physically so you can end up looking at your own back. I've reported it. Hopefully they'll fix it. VR is less polished than flat screen mode. But even with that bug and some other minor weirdness I'm hooked.
I love just getting home from work checking out the coordinates database and exploring new bases and discoveries. This game passes the vibe check for 8 years straight
No Man’s Sky is gonna become Star Citizen before Star Citizen comes out.
Big deal. We will have GTA6 before Star citizen comes out. Maybe even GTA7
@@lukeskywalker5392 maybe we will experience even the heat death of the universe first?
picked up NMS no more than a week ago.. have been loving it so far, about 30hrs in n has been a very refreshingly change of pace
Nice I'm 500 hours plus.
"more dense rendering of foliage" I mean last 3 times i played i would run around, stand still. and then it took a solid 30 seconds for all the foliage and details to pop into existence... having it be more dense is sure going to be interesting. (and it's not just me with that issue based on the sheer number of replies on the thread i made about it)
they also rewrote the engine to use the GPU for spawning of foliage so thats a massive help
Check update patches
@@simon88397 oh damn. that's good to know. Ill give it another try sometime then. because that issue was really turning me off from playing before. it's also weird because in the past i never had the issue. or didn't notice it. and quite enjoyed the game. but it became so damned jarring at some point.
Light no fire could be so good. I have always thought "why dont gaming companies use proc gen to simulate a world and then go in after to curate it?" And someone is finally doing it. You can get way more scale without feeling like theres no point to being in an area or that you wont miss something if you run through it.
I played for about an hour at launch, then refunded. Decided to give it another shot based on what people were saying and I've put in quite a few hours over the last couple weeks. They absolutely came a long way and put a lot of effort into this game which is refreshing to see.
Oh goodness. I haven't seen one of your videos since i quit playing WOW. This video just randomly popped up on home screen.
No Man's Sky and Hello Games puts AAA to shame.
You gotta remember how it all began. The big criticism with AAA games is releasing an unfinished product and finishing it later.
*A Hello Games & Larian Collab project ..... Now that would be interesting!!*
In light no fire, perhaps?
@@cadeomarcio that too. They could make some great games together
What if Light No Fire is simply the name of the next update for NMS.
What if Light no Fire IS NMS?!
Have considered this, but the publicity will be bad if they did this ..I DO think LNF is the ancient history of the NMS universe - another simulation and where the anomaly/travelers started.
Speaking as a guy who never was hyped for the game and never got it when i first came out, yea its pretty freaking good, in my top 10
Same I just started playing it January it's a beautiful game.
I just returned to the game for the first time in years, I'm really enjoying my time so far.
i really hope they do things like removing di-hydrogen crystals, because these certain things that are exactly the same on every planet makes it feel like you haven't gone anywhere new
Playing this on the oled steam deck and I can’t stop. Such a great game!
I'm always surprised at what the No Man's Sky developers have done, actually keeping their promises and then going way beyond.
I am so thankful this game didn't die on the vine before it reached its full flower, I've spent a fair bit of my time enjoying it.
While I play it solely on Switch, I am so grateful that I bought No Man's Sky when that port came out in 2022. It's become one of my favorite games to boot up and screw around in for a couple hours at a time. It may not be as robust as the PC and Stronger Console Builds, but Worlds Part One has still made a huge difference in the quality of the game. I seriously cannot wait to see what's in store for Part Two. I'm kind of hoping that the devs can instill a way to bring in Gas Planets and interact with Stars.
Pro tip: You can use the NMS Save Editor to add any missed event rewards.
They also do an end of the year thing where they run a shorter exposition but you can do any you missed that year.
Only on pc
Looking at this makes me wonder if much of this update is stuff they are testing to apply to Light No Fire.
I exclusively play in VR ❤and it is…a breathtaking experience. I’ve got over 2000 hours in game, over half of which was in VR. This game, has become the destination for gamers of all kinds, playstyles, and preferences. They have FPS, TPS, VR, and multi platform crossplay its….insanity. Yes there are bugs but it’s not game ending, everything is free, and the community is amazing. This Game is the Comeback Kid of Gaming.❤
I'm actually one of the few that enjoyed my time in No Man's Sky as at that time I wanted to explore everything I could find on one planet, expecting it all to add together and repeat when I went to the next planet. When I stopped playing was when I went to the second planet and played for a bit before scratching my head in confusion as I found many techs but not the hyperdrive one I needed to go to different systems. So I stopped playing for a short bit thinking it was a bug and then saw the news about people hating it and finding out I got rather lucky from myself not wanting to move on from one planet to another till I had gotten most if not everything done with it.
I haven't returned to the game yet as I did then see the writing on the wall when I looked back on my second planet's experience with the terrain being same-ish and then thought it wasn't going to be fixed or redeemed especially as I didn't like the idea of the cargo ship or base building update since those just felt like that they didn't fit with what the story premise was that I purchased it for. Which was, "Be a nomad wondering through the universe ever drawn towards the center of it not ever knowing why but find out possible hints and bit lore along the way while additionally rarely finding signs of someone else having come before you", I still don't know what was at the center of the universe as I heavily kept myself away from it incase I did want to ever return to the game and finish what I had started.
I taught my 7 year old son about space using NMS, and now he is fascinated with the universe. I also explained to him that we can't travel to the stars yet but showed him some rocket launches and the moon landings. He did want to be a pizza delivery guy (he loves garlic pizza), but now he wants to build rockets when he's older instead.
I love NMS so much (I've bought it on 3 different platforms over the years). I'm so happy to see new people coming in and enjoying it. Hello Games are a genuine marvel, I absolutely love their redemption arc. Great video!
This came out when i was 14, and it gave me an escape from home life and the lack of school since i had to drop out. It took a little more imagination back then, but i havent ever felt like its a bad game, and its been amazing to grow with the game, even if i took a break for a few years when i went to college to catch up on my education.
Hello Games deserves all the love and praise that they're getting and more!
Been playing it since day 1, since the bad launch back in 2016. Its be a rollercoaster of a journey...if the rollercoaster was just going up and up and I never seem to drop down the other side :)
interloper it is nice to see you after a eternity safe travels.
Well I am now getting back into playing action VR games and just recently purchased "No Mans Sky" for my PC, so I will be a beginner at this game. I have watched many you tube videos on the game and looks very exciting to play. There is so much to this game to learn and explore.
Thanks for your video on about the updates for the game.
I just got it too for use in VR. I'm loving it so far.
Among the updates, I think the ocean waves are the most noticeable. It really adds a degree of feeling and realism.
some guy commented a few days ago below another video: "The greatest redemption arc in gaming history". I think he is absolutely right. Never seen anything like this.
The experience I want from no man's sky is able to walkaround in my mothership while it's on auto pilot
What a legendary development team. The game was amazing already. They went so far beyond what was expected.
At launch it was far from amazing.
@@SakasaHigure yep I was there. I was disappointed. They’ve since won me back and it’s one of my all time open world games.
It feels more like they are experimenting with NMS now to feel out what could work for Light no Fire and I’m all for it. Back when they launched NMS they had way to little experience and pressure to release not can do what they want at their own pace and I really hope they thrive with this development and we will feel it in their next game
@@SakasaHigurethat’s what makes them such outliers. Many others would have grabbed all that money they made from pre orders and just ran with it. It takes a lot of balls to admit to your mistakes and fix the problems free of charge and to me that speaks for a lot of passion. Sure NMS was a shitshow but how they handled it showed their true colours. That’s doesn’t mean I’ll forgive them if they do it again they get one free pass and it is already wasted with NMS the next game better be finished from the start
@@SakasaHigure I was there, I ordered it and refunded it, ended up rebuying it. Everything since the launch is why they are legendary. 8 years of major updates, all free, zero DLCs. They stuck with the game and improved it, instead of just giving up on it.
If you want the Normandy, use a save game editor to activate it! I don't consider it cheating because if you're away for a while, or just don't hear about an event, then you're "locked" out.
I've been off and in with No Mans Sky since release always excited to play after the new free updates. Hello Games has truly set the standard on how studios need to conduct business. I have over 40hr on the new update. The water and clouds are now chefs kiss
Its so refreshing seeing game devs handle their business like this. Good on HelloGames!
I got the game after the update. I m 15h in and only explored the 2nd galaxy. You can easily get lost in the game because how good is looking.
Dealing with environmental effects was one of my favorite parts about NMS. I had a huge adventure on a hazard world using a submarine to scan for downed ships while dipping in and out of the water to avoid weather. I should've went to the hazard universe.
I wish there was more bio ship types though. At least I get to pretend to be the X Universe's Xenon while in a sentinel ship though.
Hard work, well earned.
Next time it goes half off, I might finally pick it up.
60% off on Steam right now.
@@F1ashingblade Thanks but, I want it on PS5 so my son can play it too.
Thank you for finally getting it right in the title and not using the contraction of IT IS when you want to say its.
As a fellow grammar nerd.
This is an amainf video. I’ve not see your channel before but you are very well spoken, intelligent, and easy to listen to.
NMS is definitely good. As a legacy player and build master, the game keeps giving. Hello games have never given up and continue dishing out update after update.The Worlds update is more than cool.
I’ve been playing this game the last month and there’s so many layers to the game it’s insane
@7:20 yes, I love storms. They are exactly cozy. Once you get the appropriate tech upgrades, the various storms become a non-event. Just feed it more Sodium or whatever. Did they make the storms more menacing? Cause I might like them even more.
As soon as you mentioned the Normandy update... I realised that I have been thoroughly immunised to FOMO. A few years ago, I would have probably been heartbroken about missing out on it. But now I don't want to play this game because of it... It's a shame, really.
The constant exposure to FOMO in games over they years had an effect... just not the one executives probably hoped for...
Comparing NMS from launch to present day is like night and day. It looks like a completely different game. I respect how the developers committed to this game and evolved it.
not mans sky core problem is the gameplay loop.
you land on a planet, admire the view for about 5s, then go around looking for resources and POI's. during the search, you lose fuel, which leads to looking for fuel... after getting to the POI's, you inventory might get clugged.
you return to "home base" sell stuff, do fuck all with thouse money units... and the cycle begins again.
Ngl i hope the dev team for nms is feeling happy. Not just any happy though, that one true, concentrated, pure, happy, that you remember from when you were a kid and ever since youve been chasing that 2nd hit
It's also got a pretty good VR mode, for those who are into that.
This is an amazing game. One that keeps on giving and my favorite is the Steam VR integration. It is truly amazing.
Im expecting another Light No Fire Trailer at Gamescom
I think there's a lot to be said about the iterative model of game development, instead of trying to do everything during development, instead you build something modest and then slowly add more things over time.
man, the amount of backlash these devs got in the beginning, they deserve 100x the amount of praise now. they are the prime example for any game studio out there.
I know it is/was cool to hate the game when it came out, I am one of the ones who loved even back then, but then I am an older gamer and I grew up with 8-bit open world games like Mercenary:Escape from Targ/Mercenary: The Second City on the Commodore 64 and of course the original Elite game also Commodore 64, so even on release NMS was amazing to me.
and now well the new update, watching the waves in a storm wash over the landing pad on a water base is amazing and makes me think of scenes from Star Wars:The Bad Batch... which is what I want in games like is to be reminded of Pop-Sci from all time,
the only down side to NMS now is any old bases get covered in earth/soil and you have to clear the base again, only now any dirt you remove from inside the base no longer only leaves the inside of the base, it ignores the walls and takes from the terrain outside as well, but thats a small grip really, the game is brilliant!
