I'm not trusting media. I'm trusting my own eyes and brain. This isn't multiplayer in any sense other than technicality. Why even bother releasing it in this state? Just wait the duration it would take for the updates to release and release a more complete and polished experience from the get go. This is the most bare bones "joint exploration" (multiplayer) I've ever seen in a game. They are repeating their exact same mistakes from the original release. Putting out unfinished content. Now all these players that heard about the update and looked into it have a renewed sour taste in their mouth and might not give the next updates a second glance. Could have been avoided.
Because the update is about more than just the "joint exploration" feature? Not to mention the fact that people got pretty upset when they were silent for so long before the pathfinder update. The more silence from hello games, the less people try to understand their situation. I'm telling you, go read the change log. This update is about a lot more and the fact that IGN chose to advertise it as "multiplayer" does not mean that Hello games was attempting to push it as that. They simply said it was a way to explore with friends and that it will be the stepping stone for future multiplayer releases.
Grant I know it's about a lot more than the joint exploration. I'm looking forward to the other content but I was only addressing the multiplayer aspect in this comment. I realize it's a stepping stone but what I'm saying is look how many people in the comments are turned off by this bare bones implementation. This is going to renew the salty taste that people had who were excited for a MP experience who might not give their next updates a chance because this leads people to believe they can't follow through. I'm not saying that's right but that's how people will view it. Could have been avoided and brought a lot of players back if they had waited until it was more robust.
definitely agree... orbs for player characters is a poor design. you don't even get to see their ships or equipment. What a failure of a game honestly.
I re-downloaded the game yesterday. It made a bunch of improvements and it felt much more immersive. I put more hours in the past 2 days than I have for the past year lol.
Mario luis Bonoan john collins This is a big step in development of No Mans Sky. If what you want is playermodels; look at the patch notes which says "Orbs are just the first step of multiplayer". They need anti-cheat working and such before they get work on multiplayer. Hopefully this will all come in the next few updates.
It's the first step towards it. Consider that No Mans Sky was originally a single player game. They had to rewrite half (or at least a quarter) of the engine for the game to even be able to tell other players where you are currently. And from what we are seeing they did great work in that regard.
Player models is the least of our concerns. I recall something they said about the players not even seeing the same animals or terrain right now. If that's the case then there's a shitload more work to do for real multiplayer than just "player models".
I seriously think that those guys were extremely pushed by investors and Sony to release the game last year even at an early stage.. Had they release the game this year they wouldn't have some much bad mouth and the game reception would have been amazing.. As a programmer my self (though not game programmer) I can totally relate to the pressure that those guys must have suffered to release the product
Luis Pinto Sony did push release, and hellogames really didn’t want to. They knew the game wasn’t done, and Sony made HelloGames deal with the onslaught of hate that SONY created
Then explain why Sean was in hiding a whole year long. If it wasn't my fault, I would've explained the situation and told the players how I was gonna mend my mistakes the following year. And he lied ALOT
Although I agree on the lying part, I also think that most of what he said was wishfull thinking for what he really wanted the game to be. I also believe that this is a huge labour of love for the guy, and he will end up adding all that stuff and even more, maybe making that a way to atone for those lies. At the end the players will not be at a loss. I don't know why but I can see a bright future for this game, the number of possibilities are astounding. And for all the complainers, if you clock 100 hours on a game, even for 60 € (now for 23€), that's more than worth the money. There are games that give you 10 hours game play and then you toss those games away never to be played again, and I don't see people complaining as much!
Shine Spark Sony would never allow Shaun to talk about how Sony forced them to release it early... that would put Sony in a bad light. It's sort of like the relationships many musical artists have with their record labels.
Ark4575 I have no idea why everyone was expecting an online game, they said so many times in interviews that it's almost impossible to find other players and shouldn't be hyped up as a multiplayer game.
After 10 years of searching, he has finally found his purpose, although it lasted no more than a minute, he could still say it happened proudly. A legend ladies and gentlemen, a legend.
Casual Gamer Thrai There is now a 40 hour long story mode, a mission board with all sorts of quests. Crashed freighters to explore, terrain generation improvements, an amazing community(subjecive), a terrain editor, bases to build, ships to collect, and vehicles to drive. With pc you have a dedicated mod community bringing new content daily. If you can get past the fact that multiplayer is in its beginning stages, you start to realize the game isnt the worst game on the planet.
Lmao you can't interact with each other he's just an entity lmfao wtf thats like joining to spectate they didn't even add character interaction just "yeah ppl met here...TheEnd." still boring game
One of my favorite things sean said was "If you want a multiplayer game dealing with space exploration, play destiny, its a really good game" I love nms So ty
i don't even consider this multiplayer. they didn't play anything together. just stared at each other's orbs. there is no point in adding multiplayer to the game if there is nothing to actually do in multiplayer.
rifasclub I don't think it was boring at all. This is pretty much what Sean said multiplayer would be, small cool moments where you realize you're not alone in the universe and then you go your separate ways.
rifasclub it's exactly what they said... It's what was promised... They never would made a multiplayer... After all HG is delivering the promised stuff... And it seems like they plan to include now a real MP, because they talk about a First Step... They never promised that but now they are on the way to integrate it... They are on a very good way...
You havent played it. I have played it and I can say that the game is worth somewhere around $20-$40 but no more than that. Also, remember: this game is still being updated like an early access game. I know its bad that they rushed this game but its improving with each update. I'm talking about the 1.38 version
PabloC4 Of course it wasent, Might as well been like one of those Free-4-all Playstation 4 VR games where you can chose any famous Avatar and grope the same loli girl the same as everyone else, Sometimes at the same time.
you know, the team are only 4 ppl and only 1 are for making the game, the other 2 are brothers and they had the idea and do not much and the other are for concept arts and other art. And this is the first game from them.
I recall something they said about the players not even seeing the same animals or terrain right now. Which means there's a shitload more to do for immersive multiplayer than adding player models
All jokes aside, this is a step in the right direction. They need to add player models next, and then the ability to properly interact with the players and be able to interact and alter the world with them.
Did nobody read the patch notes tho? Like I dislike this game but don't blindly hate on it if you would read then it's basically the start of multiplayer it's a foundation to build off of it just makes no sense for all you to hate on it without even reading the patch Notes and I get it people say it's too late at least they're trying they're trying to make it what the fans want
john collins This is a big step in development of No Mans Sky. If what you want is playermodels; look at the patch notes which says "Orbs are just the first step of multiplayer". They need anti-cheat working and such before they get work on multiplayer. Hopefully this will all come in the next few updates.
Tewthpaste ... not true at all. The 3rd update AtlasRises explained. That was the mp update, just a prep for now before another large update that will render ships and players. They are designing it now. Dont know why in the world youd think that was a npc, they cannot land anywhere but a landing pad. They also dont fly into atmosphere unless chasing you, It was another player for sure.
I legit just met another player and I gave them 15 launch fuel and five larva whatever you call it’s you get from whispering eggs. They gave me in return 500 chromatic material. Thank you whoever you are.
This is for all those people still butthurt about this multiplayer aspect: THIS IS NOT DONE YET. If you read the patch notes then you will see the line: "A first STEP in the multiplayer in no man's sky." It's only orbs right now but at least there is actually multiplayer instead of none.
Oh wow. Another player is an orb. How epic. This game seems like one giant web of kludges, with randomized quantity over quality. There's no feeling of scientific rigor to it. It's like a whimsical episode of Fraggle Rock or something.
Even though you're making a joke, as a matter of fact: From the stuff that people where "promised" and complained about they already implemented 75~80%. And the game will probably get another (big) update within 3~4 months.
Faction fights.. REAL multiplayer.. Space Pirating.. A versatile customization of your spaceship and it's primary capabilities.. Also when did 75-80% of a game as advertised become an acceptable number?
No one said it was acceptable. He just said that they are attempting to make amends for their mistakes. And they are doing a remarkable job I'd say. Won't be much longer before they deliver the 100% and then start adding more than they originally promised. This game has a promising future.
I can't even believe they released it like this. You can only cut the devs so much slack for releasing an unfinished game, but when they disappoint this badly it just goes to show that they will never accomplish anything in a reasonable amount of time. Why would you show everyone that you are capable of renting server space and incapable of creating actual multiplayer gameplay? That is so incompetent. People have been able to interact more in online games for decades.
Echocookie hey before you trashtalk read the patchnotes of all the three updates. This isn't everything they've added. The game's actually good now it's just too expensive. Plus they're gonna improve multiplayer in the next updates, the game's on sale now and it's only 24 bucks. Most reviews on steam since the third update are positive, if you haven't played the update yet, give it a try. Its definitely not boring and it's worth 24 dollars/euros/whatever.
Believe me when i say so, Im kind of person that watch comedy movies and parodies all the time, and i don't find it funny at all. His comment wasn't a joke, it was a cry for attention.
Everyone is hating on this. It's like no one read the the release log for 1.3 It clearly states " While interaction with others is currently very limited, this is an important first step into the world of synchronous co-op in No Man’s Sky."
This game is amazing but why they made you look like a small blue/green ball the whole time? They should update it and make it much better and realistic.
Neat little theory, Xavier, but, not exactly. The orbs are just a placeholder for when they get the rest of the multiplayer features built. They couldn't add much in this version due to not having much in terms of anti-cheating mechanics in the game, which is why it's still so limited.
Below the comment section you would find 70% Salty people hating the game because they refunded it, Jumping on the Hate train and people who has not played the game even when the Updates came 10% People Praising the Game Developers for not abandoning the game
When i first bought this game at release, I played MAX 2 hours and deleted it off my HDD. 3 years and many updates later I can safely say that this is a fantastic game. Definitely worth a 2nd shot.
basically they are saying that ok here is the multiplayer we promised but u see the other player as an orb BECAUSE u see them from an alternate reality smart way and i like the theory but its cheap LOL instead of applying the other players design they just placed that theory to get away with it, no hate but just had to put it out there.
Taylor Ramirez john collins This is a big step in development of No Mans Sky. If what you want is playermodels; look at the patch notes which says "Orbs are just the first step of multiplayer". They need anti-cheat working and such before they get work on multiplayer. Hopefully this will all come in the next few updates.
Dude do you really expect to find anyone randomly? I doubt you even have friends to play the game with if you have enough time to dedicate your life to shitting on it. Check the patch notes, it's way better. And according to steams recent reviews, it's positive. It's a better game. As a fan of Hello Games and No Mans Sky, I can finally call it a good game.
Taylor Ramirez bruh this is just the basic player model. What is the chance that you and your friend meet each other in a world where they have billions of planets
So it took an entire year from the release just to add in the ability to see a person once in what's probably five hours or more of playtime without any interaction. 10/10
The game is really enjoyable for me, and I actually despise how childish people are being about it. It was literally more than an entire rotation around the sun and ago and people are still being pissy. If you don't like the game, so be it. If you do like the game, so be it. I'd rather hear about what people think without being like "It's bad because it's bad." /Why/ is it bad? /Why/ is it not actually multiplayer? I'd rather know your honest to God opinion over just another bandwagon argument.
Don't waste your time on this... These are lil 12 year olds making their underrated opinions coming from a 12 year olds brain which is equivalent to asking your lil sister about Politics.
Reminds me of Erin from the Office, when she's talking about how Michelle Obama was related to Andy. Erin: I was intimidated by Andy's family before. And now I have to see the First Lady at holidays? She's gonna be like, “What's your stance on politics?” Or, “What is the best war to do?” And, I will just be like, “Duhhhh!”
I am 15, yet I enjoy this game. I completely understand why people hated it. The developers lied about stuff. I was kind of disappointed some things weren't in the game, but I still had loads of fun. Now the game has been updates and feels more complete than the E3 trailer.
I mean ok...The game has had major updates since it launched and it's made the game far more interesting and fun than it was. It was great to see them adding a "Multiplayer" feature but it's not what we expected (at all). It's still not a bad game though we were promised way more and received very little. I do hope they advance the multiplayer feature and focus and that more. Inviting friends and more player interactions or even appearance for that matter would be great and it's what this game really needs right now.
"The only way for you to know what you look like is for someone else to see you." A glowing orb. We uh... we are glowing orbs. With a jetpack. Jumping around planets and destroying the wildlife. And flying a ship. Okay.
Hyperfyre yo bud. If you wanna defend this shite game be my guest but if I got an opinion, don't go throwing yours in others bud. I don't like it and I think they coulda done multiplayer better. Get over it
Yes because if you aren't an artist then you can't possibly have an opinion on the works of art in the Sistine chapel. And I'm sure you've never shared an opinion of a movie you didn't enjoy since you aren't capable of doing so, considering you aren't a director of blockbuster Hollywood films.
it was said that it was a miracle to meet another player. But now the only two people playing the game in 2017 have met what an amazing cosmic coincidence.
mm i guess the lead developer of Hello Games lying to thousands in countless interviews doesn't count. They weren't ordered by sony to lie. If they were, Rosa Rodriguez wouldn't be the only person to know about it.
Put some time into it rather than just spreading your unnecessary salt. Its becoming more and more a better game every day and soon it will be all that was promised and more
The moment I first saw this game not having an actual character creation or just any normal reflection, I knew they'd pull up some lie about the multiplayer. The problem with the game itself isn't that it's horribly glitchy or bad, It was how it got built upon lies and lies just hyping things up, even though they knew it woudn't be a finished product at launch, and when we finally get one of the things that got promised it's a floating orb? This is why many people won't trust this anymore.
bostonianful don't be stupid. You probably haven't touched the game in a year or played through the recent update. Reviews for the recent update are overwhelmingly positive. Not to mention that this is only the beginning of multiplayer and character models are likely on their way
Garrett King while this game is getting updates and positive reviews it will *always* be a shadow of what it could've been if they age us these features at launch. That's the sad truth
I said this in Angry Joe's comment second when he reviewed the game and I'll say it here. Even if this game only delivers on a tenth of what it promised, there would be so many planets, you could play every day for years and never meet anyone, and that *does not actually mean* there's no multiplayer. If they actually made this game just the size of *ONE* actual galaxy, that's one hundred billion worlds. That's 100,000,000,000 planets. That's 14 planets for every human being on Earth, and on release NMS didn't even reach 10k players (that's almost 11 million planets per player by the way). To meet even a single other player would be an event of staggering rarity. Take it a step further. Say they delivered on a full universe. That' one hundred billion galaxies, each with one hundred billion worlds. You could play 24/7, never see another person, and they *STILL* aren't failing to deliver. The universe is a big place.
Wait... I think Hello games are trying to fix no man's Sky! First it was seeing players discoveries second is going inside player bases and now we can see players? I think they are fixing the game a bit and a bit maybe next update we will be able to TRADE with them I think and after many Updates they will add Real Online Multiplayer
Server takes (X1,Y1,Z1) and matches with (X2,Y2,Z2), shows the other party on their screen. Constant streaming of location data. That's it. I'm pretty sure ship and player information does not take much to transfer. Why represent it with a blob? That's where the hate comes from.

This is sadly true
Why does it sound like hundreds of dogs are dying in the background?
It's the sound of a planet's worth of hopes, wishes and dreams all dying in unison as they realize that the game was murdered at birth.
Asian Import They are just those strange creatures in the background.
I don't know!
They are.
It's more concerning that you know how a hundreds dogs dying in the background sounds like...
Better multiplayer experience than Call Of Duty.
tovartheawesome - Tovar Perri no
tovartheawesome - Tovar Perri, Agree, the multiplayer experience in COD are full of *KIDS*
U cant see him.. But atleast u dont get disconnected every 5 minutes
top meme 10/10!!!
That joke is as repetitive as Call of Duty itself.
That's it?
no mans sky in a nutshell
Vivek Acharya It was a singeplayer game , thats much because they had to change much off the engine
420SupaK so if it wasnt multiplayer it was singleplayer in which case they had to change the engine, get ur facts straight
Daveje90 They had to do that from the beginning
Plat i wasnt saying it was not haha, i was telling the guy that the engine had to change while he said that that wasnt the case
this is the laziest implementation of multiplayer I've ever seen in my life.
You make a game with quintillion planets
joe kickass
The games in open beta give it time.
Feral Carrot
Not to mention only a handful of people are working on it right now.
Screen Gamer289 I know they work hard multiplayer is coming saying its lazy he obviously doesn't know how hard it is to make games
Screen Gamer289
Hahahaha "open beta", the game was released in august 2016.. wtf is wrong with you
New disappointment discovered
just like you being born
whoa
Van Go you can thank me later for getting together with your mother...
definitely agree... orbs for player characters is a poor design. you don't even get to see their ships or equipment. What a failure of a game honestly.
hahaha
that true
IGN 10/10
Aardvark actually it 10/10 IGN not the other way around
It could be both
Im you 1000th like, thank me 😁😂😂😂
I re-downloaded the game yesterday. It made a bunch of improvements and it felt much more immersive. I put more hours in the past 2 days than I have for the past year lol.
Same story
i mean it's easy k?
Last year: 3 Hours
Last 2 day's: 4 Hours... see?
"Last year: 3 Hours"? So you didn't even get off the first planet? Because that takes like 10 hours.
Two Mewtwos in Too-toos Took me half an hour
Two Mewtwos in Too-toos nah that takes like 20 mins
This ain't multiplayer. You can't interact with them.

you can interact with them through voice.
It's the first step towards it. Consider that No Mans Sky was originally a single player game. They had to rewrite half (or at least a quarter) of the engine for the game to even be able to tell other players where you are currently. And from what we are seeing they did great work in that regard.
But there's a button that says interact. Also, you can speak with them through voice chat, just that they didn't show it on the video.
Player models is the least of our concerns. I recall something they said about the players not even seeing the same animals or terrain right now. If that's the case then there's a shitload more work to do for real multiplayer than just "player models".

Nothing against the vid thoe
When the video first started I thought they were playing in a stadium and people were cheering then I realized it was the aliens

*Annoyed*
*autistic whale screeching intensifies*
Took about a year to finally live up to one of the games expectations😂
Ark4575 and it's great.
Victor A Seeing an orb is nowhere near "great". We all wanted joint exploration and physical contact- this game is pathetic.
Ark4575 I have no idea why everyone was expecting an online game, they said so many times in interviews that it's almost impossible to find other players and shouldn't be hyped up as a multiplayer game.
Victor A mate it took a year to put an orb in the game and all it does is float like thats not worth
Rune exactly, this is what I've been trying to tell everyone
There was no man to begin with.
You were controlling a bubble this whole time.
After 10 years of searching, he has finally found his purpose, although it lasted no more than a minute, he could still say it happened proudly. A legend ladies and gentlemen, a legend.
AT Games Sounds like the note I wrote after I lost my virginity
Haha you made my day
You can resume this gaming experience like this:
-WOW that sounds amazing
-so it's just that...
No Man's Sky in a nutshell
You have to give the devs credit, they didnt give up on their game
Justin *cough* paragon *cough* lel
Thank God for that. The game has a great potential. They just need to keep working to fix their mistakes.
Justin yeah true
Been 2 years already...
TheChosenOne that game is amazing now what do you mean
pretty rare chance to meet one of the 20 people that still play this game in a universe that big
Mekenzis 2*
Until now, I still have no idea what you do in this game.
You fly around to the same 5 planets, mine, look at animals, sell items, repeat
Damn that sounds.... extremely boring....

Dude they should hire you for their PR
"To this day, I still have no idea..."
Lmao you can't interact with each other he's just an entity lmfao wtf thats like joining to spectate they didn't even add character interaction just "yeah ppl met here...TheEnd." still boring game
just because it isnt multiplayer doesnt make the game itself boring
AnimationReincarnation Gaming a game like that need multiplayer to be funny, single player is boring for 90% of ppl on this game
TheFinalyGamer Revo thats true but those same players are hard to please anyways.
One of my favorite things sean said was "If you want a multiplayer game dealing with space exploration, play destiny, its a really good game"
I love nms
So ty
For literally everyone watching this: "This is an important FIRST STEP into the world of synchronous co-op in No Man’s Sky."
just 1 year to late
Lance Awode why is it too late?
Lance Awode nope people still play and a lot of players came back. Try again.
Victor A the game is dead, deal with it
Victor A nah it's late there already better games coming out then no man's lie.
i don't even consider this multiplayer. they didn't play anything together. just stared at each other's orbs. there is no point in adding multiplayer to the game if there is nothing to actually do in multiplayer.
Wow, even miracles are boring.
rifasclub I don't think it was boring at all. This is pretty much what Sean said multiplayer would be, small cool moments where you realize you're not alone in the universe and then you go your separate ways.
Cimmerian Shade It wasn't cool though.
zeroninja565 Totally fine if you don't think so, it's just my opinion.
"This is an important FIRST STEP into the world of synchronous co-op in No Man’s Sky."
rifasclub it's exactly what they said... It's what was promised...
They never would made a multiplayer...
After all HG is delivering the promised stuff...
And it seems like they plan to include now a real MP, because they talk about a First Step...
They never promised that but now they are on the way to integrate it...
They are on a very good way...
Bought the game for $20 LOL it's worth it for The price...not $60 tho
You havent played it. I have played it and I can say that the game is worth somewhere around $20-$40 but no more than that. Also, remember: this game is still being updated like an early access game. I know its bad that they rushed this game but its improving with each update.
I'm talking about the 1.38 version
the game project was so enormous that we forget its just an indie.
How?
Worth 5$ at max
I bought it for 11 bucks
This is only a first progress of the upcoming "multiplayer" right now its only called a "joint exploration" thingy
Shorino Izakaya wed all like that but then we would like a 5 TB memeory and ram specificly for optimization
remember guys, The elders scrolls online wasn't that good in the start, but now its much better and dont have mensalities anymore
PabloC4 Of course it wasent, Might as well been like one of those Free-4-all Playstation 4 VR games where you can chose any famous Avatar and grope the same loli girl the same as everyone else, Sometimes at the same time.
Good to know shorino.
wow so excited to see this game finished in 25 years :D
So where's the player ? I just saw a blue orb.
lieutenant Joker The player is the Blue orb, It's basically hard to make multi-player in an Open vast Universe game, but Hopefully it'll be change.
Js4gamer Yah I know, But that isnt really a player, i want to see his character, what hes doing stuff like that.
lieutenant Joker thankfully they said that this is just the beginning of co-op in the game.
You're talking about a player model. What you see IS a player.
you know, the team are only 4 ppl and only 1 are for making the game, the other 2 are brothers and they had the idea and do not much and the other are for concept arts and other art. And this is the first game from them.
This is the first step.
They will probably add customisable player models in the future.
I recall something they said about the players not even seeing the same animals or terrain right now. Which means there's a shitload more to do for immersive multiplayer than adding player models
Mr Man when is the future?
I like your optimism.
Mr Man at this pace it'll probably take another 8 yrs
Xavier Walker then why do I hear footsteps?
YOU KNOW WHAT... At least the game is improving. And who knows, maybe this is just step one to additional multiplayer... Eventually.
They're finally adding it July 24
Or you could play Elite Dangerous..?
The exploration factor isn't there as much as NMS.
Is today the 'eventually'?
Yes (:
When a multiplayer game is so bad at multiplayer that they give you a trophy for finding somebody:
"Historic meeting" indeed...
All jokes aside, this is a step in the right direction. They need to add player models next, and then the ability to properly interact with the players and be able to interact and alter the world with them.
Did nobody read the patch notes tho? Like I dislike this game but don't blindly hate on it if you would read then it's basically the start of multiplayer it's a foundation to build off of it just makes no sense for all you to hate on it without even reading the patch Notes and I get it people say it's too late at least they're trying they're trying to make it what the fans want
so you met an orb ?
john collins This is a big step in development of No Mans Sky. If what you want is playermodels; look at the patch notes which says "Orbs are just the first step of multiplayer". They need anti-cheat working and such before they get work on multiplayer. Hopefully this will all come in the next few updates.
*yes, they met an NPC and not an actual players.*
Oh..mhm....yeah tottaly.......
Tewthpaste ... not true at all. The 3rd update AtlasRises explained. That was the mp update, just a prep for now before another large update that will render ships and players. They are designing it now. Dont know why in the world youd think that was a npc, they cannot land anywhere but a landing pad. They also dont fly into atmosphere unless chasing you, It was another player for sure.
And here we can see a Wild Jimmy taking the sarcasm seriously.
I legit just met another player and I gave them 15 launch fuel and five larva whatever you call it’s you get from whispering eggs. They gave me in return 500 chromatic material. Thank you whoever you are.
This is for all those people still butthurt about this multiplayer aspect: THIS IS NOT DONE YET. If you read the patch notes then you will see the line: "A first STEP in the multiplayer in no man's sky." It's only orbs right now but at least there is actually multiplayer instead of none.
Man this is sooooo cool! Love how it plays into the lore too...
i wish more people getting this
the lore and the initial vision of the sort of multiplayer they wanted! I for one really like this lol..
Seriously?
Am I the only person on the planet who actually likes this game?
nope
in the planet you spawned?hahaha YES.
I love this game❤
I'm enjoying it. :)
Tre Allen nah you're not the only one bro
This game was released pretty much 2 years early.....
IanMaCee exactly. best case scenario hello games was planning to include many of the features mentioned but sony forced them to rush it due to hype.
Oh wow. Another player is an orb. How epic. This game seems like one giant web of kludges, with randomized quantity over quality. There's no feeling of scientific rigor to it. It's like a whimsical episode of Fraggle Rock or something.
"The only way to know what you look like is for another player to see you"
Great I'll be back in the next 37 years for all the promises of this game to be added
Khalid Faisal name 3
Even though you're making a joke, as a matter of fact: From the stuff that people where "promised" and complained about they already implemented 75~80%. And the game will probably get another (big) update within 3~4 months.
Sedr0 there's no point in trying to argue with stupidity lol
Faction fights.. REAL multiplayer.. Space Pirating.. A versatile customization of your spaceship and it's primary capabilities.. Also when did 75-80% of a game as advertised become an acceptable number?
No one said it was acceptable. He just said that they are attempting to make amends for their mistakes. And they are doing a remarkable job I'd say. Won't be much longer before they deliver the 100% and then start adding more than they originally promised. This game has a promising future.
I can't even believe they released it like this. You can only cut the devs so much slack for releasing an unfinished game, but when they disappoint this badly it just goes to show that they will never accomplish anything in a reasonable amount of time. Why would you show everyone that you are capable of renting server space and incapable of creating actual multiplayer gameplay? That is so incompetent. People have been able to interact more in online games for decades.
Echocookie hey before you trashtalk read the patchnotes of all the three updates. This isn't everything they've added. The game's actually good now it's just too expensive. Plus they're gonna improve multiplayer in the next updates, the game's on sale now and it's only 24 bucks. Most reviews on steam since the third update are positive, if you haven't played the update yet, give it a try. Its definitely not boring and it's worth 24 dollars/euros/whatever.
Lik if u cri evrtim
eye iz cri cri evrtym
DONT LEAVE ME
I hit a dislike button hoping that u will learn "proper English" eventually.
DJ Sickey bro its a joke dont need to take it so seriously
Believe me when i say so, Im kind of person that watch comedy movies and parodies all the time, and i don't find it funny at all. His comment wasn't a joke, it was a cry for attention.
Everyone is hating on this. It's like no one read the the release log for 1.3
It clearly states " While interaction with others is currently very limited, this is an important first step into the world of synchronous co-op in No Man’s Sky."
This is it after an entire year...
Such a disappointment I really wanted this game and it turned out like that 😞
You just wait.
if u don't mind pixels, play starbound instead
Tom Wright no it was way worse when it came out but now they have really improved the game and it is a very good buy now
Tom Wright Yeah...way overhyped. I hope ONRUSH doesn't turn out like this.
What the hell is with the ball of light?
It's a placeholder. They will make real models eventually.
I hope so
It actually looks like IO from Dota 2
That's not a player, it's just io from Dota 2 in his vacations
This really puts into perspective the improvements they've made in the past 2 years, BEYOND is gonna be great.
This game is amazing but why they made you look like a small blue/green ball the whole time?
They should update it and make it much better and realistic.
Xavier Walker What is with the suits?
Neat little theory, Xavier, but, not exactly.
The orbs are just a placeholder for when they get the rest of the multiplayer features built. They couldn't add much in this version due to not having much in terms of anti-cheating mechanics in the game, which is why it's still so limited.
The only thing good about this game is it's sound track.
I can't believe people actually fell for the hype behind this game real Gamers know you don't judge a game by its trailer
true
Then what do you judge it by? lol
Are you dense?
DrewLife365 gameplay
Ik, but the devs down right lied too.
man No Man's SKy has to be the longest running prank in gaming history.
Funny how this event was considered video worthy back then but now you can meet up with players really easily
A year for multiplayer. And it's orbs. K cool another nail in the coffin.
And another one who haven't even played the game, just riding on the hate train like lots of people in here.
All what we really need is multiplayer and ship customization and real danger from npc's.
ThePhirenor I played and then refunded, it still looks like I made the right decision
Phirenor the game doesn't even have a community, let alone a playerbase, what's to like? You can't answer that,
Below the comment section you would find
70% Salty people hating the game because they refunded it, Jumping on the Hate train and people who has not played the game even when the Updates came
10% People Praising the Game Developers for not abandoning the game
this game is realy no mans sky he is not a man he is a blue orbit
After all this time you finally get to see what the player looks like... a floating orb with no hands.
When i first bought this game at release, I played MAX 2 hours and deleted it off my HDD. 3 years and many updates later I can safely say that this is a fantastic game. Definitely worth a 2nd shot.
biggest scam of 2016
basically they are saying that ok here is the multiplayer we promised but u see the other player as an orb BECAUSE u see them from an alternate reality smart way and i like the theory but its cheap LOL instead of applying the other players design they just placed that theory to get away with it, no hate but just had to put it out there.
Khamis Alktebi its "the first steps towards multiplayer" player models will come at some point
lol true hahahah its like u want it to be good but ... well thats what we get after almost a year haha
same here really hopefully it gets better well not better but the way it was supposed to be lol
Where is this theory?
Exactly we have to depend on mods lol
I deleted this and I'm waiting for it to get better, and this doesn't look like the multiplayer I want
Taylor Ramirez john collins This is a big step in development of No Mans Sky. If what you want is playermodels; look at the patch notes which says "Orbs are just the first step of multiplayer". They need anti-cheat working and such before they get work on multiplayer. Hopefully this will all come in the next few updates.
Please let HelloGames know. I’m sure they are of utmost concern on how you specifically feel about the multiplayer.
Dude do you really expect to find anyone randomly? I doubt you even have friends to play the game with if you have enough time to dedicate your life to shitting on it. Check the patch notes, it's way better. And according to steams recent reviews, it's positive. It's a better game. As a fan of Hello Games and No Mans Sky, I can finally call it a good game.
IT'S NOT WHAT I WANT, WAAAAAAAH
Taylor Ramirez bruh this is just the basic player model. What is the chance that you and your friend meet each other in a world where they have billions of planets
So it took an entire year from the release just to add in the ability to see a person once in what's probably five hours or more of playtime without any interaction. 10/10
Sean Murray isn't so bad..... some of you might remember a guy named Peter Molyneux , now that man had some explaining to do!😂👌🏻
Isn't this just the new update?
They included way more than Joint Exploration. Take a look at the patch notes for the past three updates.
So many haters I hate when people just say its bad because others did
people are saying its bad because its BAD.
They say it because IT IS BAD. You are just too gullible to see that. It's reasonable hate. Hate is not always bad. This one for intense.
I hate the game becuase other players hate it and I want to be part of the group collective.
Yeah the game is great
The game is really enjoyable for me, and I actually despise how childish people are being about it. It was literally more than an entire rotation around the sun and ago and people are still being pissy. If you don't like the game, so be it. If you do like the game, so be it. I'd rather hear about what people think without being like "It's bad because it's bad." /Why/ is it bad? /Why/ is it not actually multiplayer? I'd rather know your honest to God opinion over just another bandwagon argument.
Don't waste your time on this... These are lil 12 year olds making their underrated opinions coming from a 12 year olds brain which is equivalent to asking your lil sister about Politics.
Reminds me of Erin from the Office, when she's talking about how Michelle Obama was related to Andy.
Erin: I was intimidated by Andy's family before. And now I have to see the First Lady at holidays? She's gonna be like, “What's your stance on politics?” Or, “What is the best war to do?” And, I will just be like, “Duhhhh!”
I am 15, yet I enjoy this game. I completely understand why people hated it. The developers lied about stuff. I was kind of disappointed some things weren't in the game, but I still had loads of fun. Now the game has been updates and feels more complete than the E3 trailer.
I mean ok...The game has had major updates since it launched and it's made the game far more interesting and fun than it was.
It was great to see them adding a "Multiplayer" feature but it's not what we expected (at all).
It's still not a bad game though we were promised way more and received very little. I do hope they advance the multiplayer feature and focus and that more. Inviting friends and more player interactions or even appearance for that matter would be great and it's what this game really needs right now.
The other guy is still in the other dimension, OK? You will see him when Atlas allows you to.
Erm..... Forgive my rudeness but.....LOOOOL!...really?
thats its? a glowing orb
The game is still going?!?! I stopped Playing this the 1st day of release!
James Gutierrez did you like your own comment?
Sean Murray "Two players finding each other on a stream in the first day - that has blown my mind" XD!!!
"IT'S THE BEST GAME EVER, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!"
no you didn't.
No commentary? Why do I bother with you ign
silver Fox Lol, what did you want me to say?? "Hey look, an orb. Bye"
Yea, kinda. Something, maybe genuine reaction, maybe some jokes, dialog between you another person watching.
No Man Cares
Cherry Stone
You do.
Even Warcraft 3 has more players than that hahahahhaha and it's a 15 years old game.
Remember when they said, "The only way you can see what you look like in NMS is to find another player." This is how they see their players.
"The only way for you to know what you look like is for someone else to see you."
A glowing orb. We uh... we are glowing orbs. With a jetpack. Jumping around planets and destroying the wildlife. And flying a ship. Okay.
When you're too lazy to make player models
When you could go off and make your own game if this one doesn’t meet your standards
Hyperfyre yo bud. If you wanna defend this shite game be my guest but if I got an opinion, don't go throwing yours in others bud. I don't like it and I think they coulda done multiplayer better. Get over it
Dude chill they mentioned that these orbs are only temp this is still their first attempt a multiplayer
Yes because if you aren't an artist then you can't possibly have an opinion on the works of art in the Sistine chapel.
And I'm sure you've never shared an opinion of a movie you didn't enjoy since you aren't capable of doing so, considering you aren't a director of blockbuster Hollywood films.
Is it this click bait
wild zubat appeared yes
wild zubat appeared i threw a masterball and you got out what the hell?!?
wild zubat appeared ahhhhhhhhh ENGLISH machine broke.
Wth is this??
it was said that it was a miracle to meet another player. But now the only two people playing the game in 2017 have met what an amazing cosmic coincidence.
"Can you customize the look of your character?"
"sort of" - Sean Murray
Too late the damage is already done
BORINGGGGGGG
scott davis says the guy who probably hasn't touched the game recently or read through the patch notes for the recent updates
Garrett King irrelevant
super Koopa 64 do you know what irrelevant means?
yes he probably does and that word 100% fits in that situation.
Luis Vedovello If he hasn't played the game how would he know its boring? It's VERY relevant.
This game is such a disappointment
Fortunately, this game was made specifically for you, and they are tailoring it to your demands.
Hyperfyre sarcasm can't hide the fact that hello games scammed thousands of people
CaDArts sony did lol they were ordered to release and lie
mm i guess the lead developer of Hello Games lying to thousands in countless interviews doesn't count. They weren't ordered by sony to lie. If they were, Rosa Rodriguez wouldn't be the only person to know about it.
Put some time into it rather than just spreading your unnecessary salt. Its becoming more and more a better game every day and soon it will be all that was promised and more
Revolutionary multiplayer mechanics 10/10. I can’t wait to see more from Hello Games.
You will! In a month, there is a major update with actual multiplayer characters and models
Nice name
The moment I first saw this game not having an actual character creation or just any normal reflection, I knew they'd pull up some lie about the multiplayer. The problem with the game itself isn't that it's horribly glitchy or bad, It was how it got built upon lies and lies just hyping things up, even though they knew it woudn't be a finished product at launch, and when we finally get one of the things that got promised it's a floating orb? This is why many people won't trust this anymore.
thats it? wow this is..........this is below bad, this is an insult to games and gamers everywhere.
bostonianful don't be stupid. You probably haven't touched the game in a year or played through the recent update. Reviews for the recent update are overwhelmingly positive.
Not to mention that this is only the beginning of multiplayer and character models are likely on their way
Garrett King while this game is getting updates and positive reviews it will *always* be a shadow of what it could've been if they age us these features at launch. That's the sad truth
You can't just "give" a feature. The developers don't simply sits at their desk for an hour and say; "And here is another feature".
ive seen other games do it, why couldn't they?
Stuff they've added should've been there in the first place when the game was released. No a year later.
2:05 I must go, my people need me!
Humanity in a nutshell. Meets another being for the first time. Shoots at it.
Best part is that those Monuments stay on that planet I've ran across one that had 5 on it!
I said this in Angry Joe's comment second when he reviewed the game and I'll say it here. Even if this game only delivers on a tenth of what it promised, there would be so many planets, you could play every day for years and never meet anyone, and that *does not actually mean* there's no multiplayer.
If they actually made this game just the size of *ONE* actual galaxy, that's one hundred billion worlds. That's 100,000,000,000 planets. That's 14 planets for every human being on Earth, and on release NMS didn't even reach 10k players (that's almost 11 million planets per player by the way). To meet even a single other player would be an event of staggering rarity.
Take it a step further. Say they delivered on a full universe. That' one hundred billion galaxies, each with one hundred billion worlds. You could play 24/7, never see another person, and they *STILL* aren't failing to deliver. The universe is a big place.
cory6266 Not long after the game launched two people were in the same place on the same planter ,but couldn't see each other...
This is why they call him Sean "Multiplayer" Murray
Even in games, the first thing a human does when he sees another being in space. SHOOT HIM JACOB. LOL :)
Wait... I think Hello games are trying to fix no man's Sky! First it was seeing players discoveries second is going inside player bases and now we can see players? I think they are fixing the game a bit and a bit maybe next update we will be able to TRADE with them I think and after many Updates they will add Real Online Multiplayer
I now understand what ego meant when he said he was disappointed in the discovery of other life
Server takes (X1,Y1,Z1) and matches with (X2,Y2,Z2), shows the other party on their screen. Constant streaming of location data. That's it. I'm pretty sure ship and player information does not take much to transfer. Why represent it with a blob? That's where the hate comes from.
