I think the next thing they should expand on is natural disasters. Having asteroids hit your planet having earthquakes and tsunamis to tornados and whatever else.
First played NMS in 2021-2022, just came back to it couple weeks ago and started a new game. It’s only gotten better, they are definitely doing right by this game and us!
@@uclapac10 Basically, when you first start a save make sure to follow the instructions in the bottom right corner and interact with the machinery in front of you. Itll give you instructions on how to do certain stuff and will eventually lead you to repairing your ship
@@uclapac10 same bro, if they didnt add ANY type of questing or story to it then its still the same boring shit. the concept was great but they should have added a real story mode of some kind.
I bought the game when it was first released but I downloaded it only a week ago. It's a perfect game for me before Star Citizen patches. But its very complicated.
Good video, but you're sleeping on the story missions. The "trace of metal" mission literally ends with giving you two AI companions that help in Combat. Also, you can feed and tame animals on the planets, catch and breed them from eggs like Pokémon and some of them can also help you in combat
@@waveexistence3512do it! I bought it a year ago and I am so in love with this game. Perfect for anytime but it’s a lot of fun just exploring. No urgency just chill fly around and build stuff. I love the space combat. I just got my first freighter a few weeks ago and it’s a game changer.
@@Decimus92 I got it and holy SHIT I love it so much. I’m working out how to make a cool base on this water planet I just discovered. The game is amazing… I’m going to start working toward building my skiff so I can fish tf out of this planet.
You can’t compare no mans sky and starfield. No Mans Sky is a masterpiece and starfield is a shit sandwich. I don’t bring my dogs feces into a burger joint and compare them
Great video. I bought No Mans Sky day 1. Over the years i’ve picked it up but only ever played 10-15 hours before not playing it again for ages. I picked it up again a couple of weeks ago and have put it 25 hours. Wow worlds and the last bunch of updates i hadnt played have added so much!!! I am loving it
@ im not sure if there is anything specific. I think its the overall look and variety. Maybe im just more in a headspace to play the game. There is also just so many different things to do. Base building, freighters, all sorts of ships to collect. Id never done an expedition before. Really enjoying it, up to 75 hours now.
It's not perfect. They added more stuff and made it look better. More features is not what's missing. The problem is it's a tedious grind with a clunky interface and there isn't really an engaging story to keep you going beyond the endless sandbox of randomly generated planets and upgrades..... mine, refine, build, repair or follow a convoluted quest sequence of go here then, go there, get this resource, etc. There is an endless process of learning a language one word at a time, as if a whole garbage can sized contraption's only function is to remember ONE WORD. This could have engaging potential if learning the language lead to being able to talk to interesting characters or reading about the history and mysteries of the universe, but no it's just used to get free stuff from NPCs that just stand there with no purpose in life but give you random stuff if they like you. The story-lines it has are mostly dry and functional, not engaging.
See you in 10 more years. It feels like they're adding more breadth than width, the game being a sand box. By trying to appeal to as many players as possible, they sacrifice depth.
They still haven't added a purpose. It's a collecting game for the sake of collecting, Building for the sake of just building, flying around for the sake of just flying around. It seriously needs substance. That's the only thing none of the updates has added
AS a new player I thought it was quite immersion breaking after 8 years that every space station was the same inside regardless of faction / location, same with out buildings all having the same layout, and every crashed freighter too. Then after you witness the anomaly , or just the general power of the procedural engine for the planets you wonder why they couldn't do more of that. but apart from that I have been wowed pretty much everywhere else.
I've been on the verge of buying this for a long time, but just wasn't able to bring myself to do it. This video has me convinced that it's time, thank you!
7:20 U can upgrade a mt to 60 slots. Then it can fit every weapon type but then u will often switch wepon modes so often players chose to have each mt for diffrent thing. U can have up to 6 MT so u can customize primary function for each mt (scan,mining,shooting)
Would appear by chance I jumped into NMS at the perfect time. I'm just about a week into my run after owning the game for about 2 years after getting it in a sale, only now do I find myself with the time to try it!
I wouldn't say perfect time... Honestly the first year was bad. After the first year its been a good game and it's steadily improved. So basically it's been the perfect time for a long time! Because no matter when you join they just impliemented a fantastic change with another postivie change on the horizon. This game went from disaster to being a lesson on what a developer can do when they care about a product and don't give up...and a fan base who didn't give up. No need for No Mans Sky 2. Just continue making this game better into forever.
I had a crazy PVP battle last night till date. Some strange, experienced player was coming in for a landing above. I attacked him because I was afraid, and it was him and his mech fighting against me, chasing me down while I was making a maze underground to get away. He hunted me and blew holes through my maze, and it was on. We were flying around underground like Dragon ball z, boosting in the air while shooting beams and lasers at each other. I lost the fight and he destroyed my ship. I had to run and swim 4 hours, being trapped with barely any healing resources to get back to a someone's base where I knew had public vehicles. I used a vehicle to hover to another base 20 minutes away that had a teleporter. I then teleported back to my base on another planet (a snowy planet) and used my refiner to repair my ship. I'm 4 days into No Mans Sky. I think there needs to be a hunt mode activator and we need proximity chat. I play NMS in VR.
The only thing I wish was different was your squadron, fleet and freighter defense AI. They can’t hit anything and are mostly useless. Really adds to the “you’re alone” feeling even with being the leader of an interstellar megalopolis.
I love the prospect of the bubbles not being a naturally occurring phenomenon, but the result of a single bubble blowing deviant loose somewhere on the planet!
I'm downloading the game right now, interested to see how it will go I see a lot of complaints about not much to do other than base building and grinding but I like that stuff. I've spent many hours playing Stranded Deep, Ark and Subnautica so I'm hoping to like this one
@@__Leland__ Good so far, I need to figure out the mapping a bit more, like how to get to certain objectives but I'm enjoying it so far and have made out of the first solar system so I'm just starting to figure out what the game wants me to do to progress
@@bigrick3267hey! Just out of curiosity, what do you think? I’ve played nms over a year ago and enjoyed it very much, especially the beginning, but the game does get repetitive unless you’re into base building, but on the other side there’s soo much to do and craft, because you can. Also the game has it’s moments and can be immersive. And all that before the patch damn.
@@italianspiderman5012 I'm enjoying it. I like base building and exploring tho I would like a bit more structure as far as goals and progression, I've found myself wondering what to do at times tho and end up doing more of the same stuff I just did That being said when I'm in the mood to chill it's still easy to burn a few hours exploring. building and scanning lol
I'm new.. What do you DO in NMS ? is there role playing? is there a market place, or complex manufacturing, or pirating off other races to profit? I have no idea now, other than you run around pretty planets.. Is there some review showing what the game is about?
@@platiusmango7075 at its core it’s an exploration game with building mechanics. Yes there is light shooting in your ship and what not but once again this is mainly an exploration game. You fly. You find cool things. You build bases near cool things. You keep flying to discovery the next place. That’s no man’s sky in a nutshell. It’s not an rpg or a combat sim. You mine things so you can build things you need to keep exploring. So an aimless game like that isn’t for everyone. But it really is fantastic the universe they’ve built
Omfg finally I love your mind stating (sorry forgot exactly what you said and on lunch break so I'll make this quick) but "how far no mans sky has come AND how far it has to go. I'm seeing to many people saying it's perfect now and it's been so long they can stop, like no bro what hello games is doing is the most beautiful act to any video game as well as doing what all major development studios don't GIVE BACK. I give all praise to no mans sky and I beg for hello games to pump out more GEMS but I can not pre-order any due to being burnt but I will keep my eye and mind open to them but not freely open
Difference is Starfield launched with barren worlds but 80 hours of quests and some really nice, pretty well polished... Not to bash NMS, tho, game is impressive in scope for such a (then) small team and evolved greatly into an amazing game.
Thank you for coming back to NMS. It really is something special and I can't wait for the second half of this update. As for losing live support NMS got this graphic update from the light no fire development. I imagine both games share fundamental software where both benefit from further updates. I'm hoping the engine for world diversity in light no fire will touch NMS too.
This is a very good point! Perhaps we would lose big content updates, but would retain engine upgrades. With a big player base I do believe they'll keep bringing content...just not in the same quantities as we get it currently!
Friendly Heads Up: Dog fighting doesn't work in star field. Regardless of dodging or not moving at all, you will always take 3-6 hits. No fun in that play style, once you see it for yourself.
The game looks amazing. I just wish that it had more depth like Morrowind or Skyrim. I am looking forward to the day that they turn the game into a full RPG with quest lines, full dialog options, faction quests, consequences, etc. Add in full speech capabilities implementing A.I. with companions and 1,000's of interactive NPC's. Give me a space opera on steroids, a.l.a. Knights of the Old Republic, Rogue Trader, or Mass Effect, and I will never leave that universe. That game would put Starfield and even Star Citizen to shame. 😁👍
Bethesda magic isn't with bethesda anymore buddy, if you want a game with deep rpg, dialogues and great characters the game you want is Cyberpunk or the witcher 3 But back to NMS, the only problem the game has in the story department is the presentation... Presentation of the story in NMS is almost inexistent. Characters also lack personality i mean, you can clearly notice the difference between the characters but it seems like everyone is getting along just fine and the only villain in the game is actually tragedy itself. Atlas is a mysterious and incomprehensible entity, the sentinels that serve Atlas are just some sort of space police, depending on what you do and where you are they won't even attack you. Pirates are just pests, they are the only real evil folks in the. Everything else is simply nice people. the folks from the anomaly are just nice folks, the factions have their peculiarities and even their sins, but overall are just people. NMS is missing a more simple villain, some antagonist that the player should struggle. Also the game does have companions, not much and the variety isn't great but you have the small and talkative reprogrammed sentinel Lailaps and the mech who doesn't talk so much but will greatly help you while battling. I think this characters should be given more personality, and also NMS surelly need more companions and not just machines.
@@ChronoMune heres a tip... Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 were made by Bioware, so Larian now has the old BIOWARE magic. Also, TW3, may be an old game by now, but it's still is a game that has being updated, just last year it got a next gen update that improve the graphics of TW3.
@@efxnews4776 alright damn you got me. Had no clue about the update that’s pretty lit, they even used some mods that’s crazy. I just might go back and play again myself since I never finished it lol
This is a troll? I mean... I can sense your passion for gaming. That's awesome. But honestly saying a game would be neat 'if it added every single feature in any game that it doesn't have' sounds a bit crazy and troll'ish. i mean. i want the perfect game too. Maybe one day we'll get it....Hell maybe No Man's Sky will turn into that game. But it's a lot to ask. i too want a fully developed 1 to 1 scale galaxy where every planet is individually coded to evolve life randomly to fit specific neitches in that unique planets environment...and environment that will change over time as planets move realisitically through space, experience real weather and cosmic events, complete with advanced life developing where you can meet aliens with their own unique persoanlities to where if you want you can hang up your space ship, pick a backwater world and become a marketing agent, selling advertisement space on a pirate radio frequencey on the second moon of the 5th planet of the WhatTheHellAmITalkingAbout system to where eventually I can implement a communist revolution where i turn that second moon into a soviet dystopia with me as it's authortarian ruler everntually controlling a space fleet of 1 million ships where I will invade the galaxy in my attempts to eventually convert or wipe all out all sentient life...and once io do that...i'll go meta and try to hack the source code and then i will prove to all the AI sentient life in the game that they're actually part of the matrix which will cause mass hysteria in the game world......
This was great, though I think you missed a fairly massive positive which is the VR mode. It’s now fully realized and quite wonderful. Makes it one of the more complete VR games to have been released and underwater exploring and building in VR is lovely. The only thing that blows is the vehicle controls, I wish they would allow more customization there. Very impressed with this game
You are absolutely right! It is slightly unheard of that a full AAA console/PC experience is available with all the same content in VR! Seriously underrated purely based on that imo
Still some glitches that need to get fixed, like the super slow refiners and items dissappearing in refiners, enemy ships flying through the freighters, inability to land on much smooth terrain, too difficult salvaged frigate modules forcing cheats (yes you do cheat, don't lie to me!), scanners that don't work, bases, communications modules and save modules that don't show up, terrible click building physics, greater incentive for base building, not enough useful Quicksilver items, saveable note field for space stations visited. Still, by far the best game out there.
i really hope in the future they would add civilizations to be generated on some planets that are not within reach of the sentinels. With complete quest lines, lores, cultures, npcs. it would completely up the game to a whole new level.
Are planets now actually uninhabited or does there just happen to be stations and stuff everywhere as that kind of killed the feeling of exploring the unknown for me.
I had been eyeing this game since it was announced. Almost bought it multiple times, but didn't... Until the Worlds Part 1 update. My goodness, this game is amazing. I've only had it for a month now, but I've already put over 100 hours into it. My only real complaint is the inventory management. It sucks sooooo much.... haha. If they could improve that somehow, I'd be a happy camper. Overall though, this game is an easy 10/10 for me. Can't wait to see what HG does with Light No Fire!
The game looks BEAUTIFUL in a lot of aspects, but I still wait for it's combat to get just a bit better before picking it up for myself. I play on a friend's PC from time to time whenever i visit, but this game really has been polished
First-day player, stopped many times, one hiatus lasting about two and a half year when the Expeditions started, because the game's FPS went horrendously low (making it unplayable) - tried again every time a, Expedition started (same frustating result) then the game started working again The World 1st Part update was amazing, waiting for the 2nd part whenever it comes
I bought this game on sale - 60% off thought why not buy it cheap... and wow i am amazed how great this game is with the graphics and framerate. There is so much to do and its online! Never knew I would see other players . 100% recommend
There are energy shields, cloaking devices and even "grenade launcher" secondary attachments you can put on any multitool. These are not passive bonuses but active devices that provide alternatives to combat.
The animation itself needs to be fixed. Holding a weapon clearly mean to be held two-handed like a rifle just down by your side like a pistol you’re hip firing is jarring. Some type of ADS would also be welcome
In my opinion this game was more than worth the asking cost in 2018. Since then its gotten dozens of new updates. FFS, since this video came out, they added proper fishing and new bio hazards! If you were even remotely disappointed in Starfield than try NMS because its what starfield wishes it would be.
I think it would be cool if they gave us the ability to hire mercenaries and build a small army or attack squad so that we could have epic battles on the ground as a counterpart to the ones we can have in ship combat.
As a PC gamer coming from wing commander, privateer, and star citizen - this is an awesome game. The mechanics work and it’s FUN to explore. The cartoonish colors do make it look stupid, but this is what we wanted star citizen to have. An actual space exploration game that works. 100% it’s nowhere near star citizen depth and art, but it fills the gap between crazy awesome tech demo and enjoyable game play. My only complaint is the art direction. If it was darker and grittier a lot more sci-fi fans would be on board.
Someone seems to be experiencing Starfield Derangement Syndrome (SDS). I want to avoid biased individuals posing as "legitimate reviewers." Sure, you might find support among other SDS sufferers, but in the long run, this will only harm your perspective. It's essential to strive for objectivity. Personally, I found Starfield much more enjoyable than NMS. Both games have their strengths and unique features. Based on your review, I would miss out on playing Starfield or approach it with a predisposed negativity. This doesn’t serve anyone well.
@@AverageGameReviews and even shuttles just custom ships in general and exo crafts im pretty sure people would use them more if you could mod more and get more slots. Those things have sooooo much potential.
I bought it at launch and yes... it was hot trash.... I could not forgive Hello Games. Today, I gave it a shot one more time after watching tons of NMS videos.... after 30+hours replaying it.... I can definitely say they have redeemed themselves.
I bought this game as soon as it came out on switch...I also have an Xbox series X....Today, this is by far one of the best "pick me up and do anything" type of game. If you enjoy playing a video game at your own pace, this is for you.
how high is the learning curve? Are there like 100 different mechanics to learn? I don't mind a steeping learning curve, but I don't want to take out a collage loan to take a course in No Man Sky Basics.
It's definitely steep and even 30hrs in you may be googling stuff quite often. Depends how much you want to get out of the game though - the more you explore and work it out, the better it gets! Have a look at my beginners guide to guage the early game learning curve: ruclips.net/video/phQr4xSAsUA/видео.html I'd imagine it depends on what other games you play, though. I see comments from some players that the curve is just too steep - so it depends where your expectations are!
ye the game is pretty impressive, but without combat or a good incentive to explore planets or to even just build bases, I get bored of it very quickly every time :c But I do come back to it from time to time, fire up a new playthrough and hope I find something that keeps me in. That's usually hunting for money and finding a nice ship :D
Its absolutely incredible. But after building 10 bases there is very little to do. The missions are okay but a bit repetitive. Fetchit missions. But this can be fixed...
the one thing this game absolutely needs is planatary destruction. Asteroids hitting them and turning them into wastelands, weapons powerful enough to destroy an entire planet in one blast such as the death star. It'd be amazing.
Some kind of raid with different enemy types. Outside of the sentinels there’s not really anything else to fight. The bugs that hop out of eggs need more variations maybe some big boss versions. Would also be nice if you could fight with the big death worms instead of them just being a visual effect.
Got this game a while back but I didn’t play it too much, as I didn’t have anyone to play it with then. Can someone explain to me how multiplayer works in this game (at 3:08 it says you can seamlessly transition from single player to multiplayer, so is it theoretically possible to ever run into a planet inhabited by multiple players?)
all of this the game tells you. The fist 100 hours of gameplay is basically a massive tutorial. And at the same time you are nothing "supposed" to do, since you can do whatever you want.
Id personally love some minor quality of life upgrades. It gets a bit annoying to harvest the various farms you build over the years, so if they'd implement some minor automation for that, it'd be appreciated. At the very least, let us hire people in our Freighter / bases to collect and store the resources instead of either completely ignoring our giant backlog of farms, or spending a lot of time everytime we boot up to collect all the resources
I have a feeling Xbox might still be behind on updates...or perhaps it's better optimised on PS5. Xbox is notorious for having stability problems with NMS!
I started it Thursday and have about 20 hours in 3 days. That whole first star system is like a prologue. It gets WAYYYY cooler if you explore and follow some main missions. Have fun!!
Starfield is interesting, it feels like their main goal was to create a space for people to mod, they misunderstood why this happened to skyrim. People wanted the game to keep going past the content that was put in bc there was a lot of great content. Idk what made them think people would respond similarly to a bunch of nothing
The constant autosaving that you have ZERO control over the frequency of is like stepping on a rake and getting smacked in the face every time you try to do anything; totally immersion breaking. I've been sticking up for No Mans Sky against the haters since the start, but I've come to the conclusion that I love the idea of this game a lot more than I love the actual game, and I think I'm actually done now. Sick of clinging to hope...
@@AverageGameReviews no, I mean any time trying to interact with any object, the game holds you there waiting for the game to save, with apparently no limit to how often it saves, often several times within seconds. Especially frustrating when in combat, trying to pick up the shield recharges...
I love this game. I want to play this game. My problem is this, no matter what I do, I cannot get the Sentinels to stop chasing me once they are pissed at me. I have watched several youtube videos but nothing has worked. I own this game on 3 different systems. I really do love this game.
No mans sky, at least to me, is hard to explain to someone new. It's just so much now! You can explore, be a pirate, be a nip nip farmer, build, be a fisher! Whatever!
Like how Microsoft bought Minecraft, it would be cool to see them or someone else big buy this when the studio finish updating it to add more and more updates themselves. This game is similar, too, as in that it started pretty bare like Minecraft and eventually more and more things were added, bringing more intrigue. I genuinely think the possibilities for this game could be endless with how it's designed. Seeing as it's procedurally generated with practically unlimited planets, the depth this game could potentially reach is very deep. The fact the graphics are in an art style that keeps it up with the times works well in its favour, too. I really do hope a bigger studio buy it when they stop updating it, but not one that would add shitry micro transactions.
I played that for a week 2wks ago and yes it's better but I ended up getting bored of the repetitive gameplay, everywhere looks different but you still do the same stuff, there's only so much base building you can do before that becomes boring, I put it down for less repetitive games

7:20 U can upgrade a mt to 60 slots. Then it can fit every weapon type but then u will often switch wepon modes so often players chose to have each mt for diffrent thing. U can have up to 6 MT so u can customize primary function for each mt (scan,mining,shooting)
Would appear by chance I jumped into NMS at the perfect time. I'm just about a week into my run after owning the game for about 2 years after getting it in a sale, only now do I find myself with the time to try it!
I wouldn't say perfect time... Honestly the first year was bad. After the first year its been a good game and it's steadily improved. So basically it's been the perfect time for a long time! Because no matter when you join they just impliemented a fantastic change with another postivie change on the horizon. This game went from disaster to being a lesson on what a developer can do when they care about a product and don't give up...and a fan base who didn't give up. No need for No Mans Sky 2. Just continue making this game better into forever.
I had a crazy PVP battle last night till date. Some strange, experienced player was coming in for a landing above. I attacked him because I was afraid, and it was him and his mech fighting against me, chasing me down while I was making a maze underground to get away. He hunted me and blew holes through my maze, and it was on. We were flying around underground like Dragon ball z, boosting in the air while shooting beams and lasers at each other. I lost the fight and he destroyed my ship. I had to run and swim 4 hours, being trapped with barely any healing resources to get back to a someone's base where I knew had public vehicles. I used a vehicle to hover to another base 20 minutes away that had a teleporter. I then teleported back to my base on another planet (a snowy planet) and used my refiner to repair my ship. I'm 4 days into No Mans Sky. I think there needs to be a hunt mode activator and we need proximity chat. I play NMS in VR.
Imagine playing a game that simply won't stop getting better 🥺...
Great review! We are always excited to work with you 🧡🎮
No man's sky really is a special comeback story!!
🧡💚👊
The only thing I wish was different was your squadron, fleet and freighter defense AI. They can’t hit anything and are mostly useless. Really adds to the “you’re alone” feeling even with being the leader of an interstellar megalopolis.
I found a planet where it’s just all bubbles it looks like some one blew bubbles everywhere! 😂
I love the prospect of the bubbles not being a naturally occurring phenomenon, but the result of a single bubble blowing deviant loose somewhere on the planet!
@@Fischstix95a local van driver has two bubble machine guns on his roof blowing bubbles nonstop as he drives around London
I found this yesterday so goofy!
I literally saw that last night I was like what the hell 😅 I even made a bubble pet
I'm downloading the game right now, interested to see how it will go
I see a lot of complaints about not much to do other than base building and grinding but I like that stuff. I've spent many hours playing Stranded Deep, Ark and Subnautica so I'm hoping to like this one
How are you getting on im downloading it rn looking for tips
@@__Leland__ Good so far, I need to figure out the mapping a bit more, like how to get to certain objectives but I'm enjoying it so far and have made out of the first solar system so I'm just starting to figure out what the game wants me to do to progress
@@bigrick3267hey! Just out of curiosity, what do you think? I’ve played nms over a year ago and enjoyed it very much, especially the beginning, but the game does get repetitive unless you’re into base building, but on the other side there’s soo much to do and craft, because you can. Also the game has it’s moments and can be immersive. And all that before the patch damn.
@@italianspiderman5012 I'm enjoying it. I like base building and exploring tho
I would like a bit more structure as far as goals and progression, I've found myself wondering what to do at times tho and end up doing more of the same stuff I just did
That being said when I'm in the mood to chill it's still easy to burn a few hours exploring. building and scanning lol
Its not perfect until it has better combat and enemy variety. Everything else is a masterpiece.
Agreed.
The comparison to starfield is honestly hilarious
I'm new.. What do you DO in NMS ? is there role playing? is there a market place, or complex manufacturing, or pirating off other races to profit? I have no idea now, other than you run around pretty planets.. Is there some review showing what the game is about?
👉👉ruclips.net/video/n-i66DpSnIM/видео.html
@@platiusmango7075 at its core it’s an exploration game with building mechanics. Yes there is light shooting in your ship and what not but once again this is mainly an exploration game. You fly. You find cool things. You build bases near cool things. You keep flying to discovery the next place. That’s no man’s sky in a nutshell. It’s not an rpg or a combat sim. You mine things so you can build things you need to keep exploring. So an aimless game like that isn’t for everyone. But it really is fantastic the universe they’ve built
NMS and Cyberpunk gotta be the biggest oomebacks in video game history wtf
I bought cp2077 2 weeks ago and it's been really amazing... I didn't touch it for so long because of the issues at launch...
Omfg finally I love your mind stating (sorry forgot exactly what you said and on lunch break so I'll make this quick) but "how far no mans sky has come AND how far it has to go. I'm seeing to many people saying it's perfect now and it's been so long they can stop, like no bro what hello games is doing is the most beautiful act to any video game as well as doing what all major development studios don't GIVE BACK. I give all praise to no mans sky and I beg for hello games to pump out more GEMS but I can not pre-order any due to being burnt but I will keep my eye and mind open to them but not freely open
@@walkergurr6714 Glad you agree with my view of the game!!
It's a masterpiece...but it's not finished.
Good summary! It’s been sitting in my library for years now, glad to finally have an excuse to take a look at it.
Worth giving it a chance! Get through the early game of trying to understand what the f* is going on, and this game is seriously good!
It has fishing now...
Difference is Starfield launched with barren worlds but 80 hours of quests and some really nice, pretty well polished... Not to bash NMS, tho, game is impressive in scope for such a (then) small team and evolved greatly into an amazing game.
Thank you for coming back to NMS. It really is something special and I can't wait for the second half of this update. As for losing live support NMS got this graphic update from the light no fire development. I imagine both games share fundamental software where both benefit from further updates. I'm hoping the engine for world diversity in light no fire will touch NMS too.
This is a very good point! Perhaps we would lose big content updates, but would retain engine upgrades. With a big player base I do believe they'll keep bringing content...just not in the same quantities as we get it currently!
Friendly Heads Up:
Dog fighting doesn't work in star field. Regardless of dodging or not moving at all, you will always take
3-6 hits. No fun in that play style, once you see it for yourself.
Space combat in Starfield is slow buddy, true that combat in NMS isn't exactly great, but it is better than Starfield.
The game looks amazing. I just wish that it had more depth like Morrowind or Skyrim. I am looking forward to the day that they turn the game into a full RPG with quest lines, full dialog options, faction quests, consequences, etc. Add in full speech capabilities implementing A.I. with companions and 1,000's of interactive NPC's. Give me a space opera on steroids, a.l.a. Knights of the Old Republic, Rogue Trader, or Mass Effect, and I will never leave that universe. That game would put Starfield and even Star Citizen to shame. 😁👍
Bethesda magic isn't with bethesda anymore buddy, if you want a game with deep rpg, dialogues and great characters the game you want is Cyberpunk or the witcher 3
But back to NMS, the only problem the game has in the story department is the presentation...
Presentation of the story in NMS is almost inexistent.
Characters also lack personality i mean, you can clearly notice the difference between the characters but it seems like everyone is getting along just fine and the only villain in the game is actually tragedy itself.
Atlas is a mysterious and incomprehensible entity, the sentinels that serve Atlas are just some sort of space police, depending on what you do and where you are they won't even attack you.
Pirates are just pests, they are the only real evil folks in the.
Everything else is simply nice people.
the folks from the anomaly are just nice folks, the factions have their peculiarities and even their sins, but overall are just people.
NMS is missing a more simple villain, some antagonist that the player should struggle.
Also the game does have companions, not much and the variety isn't great but you have the small and talkative reprogrammed sentinel Lailaps and the mech who doesn't talk so much but will greatly help you while battling.
I think this characters should be given more personality, and also NMS surelly need more companions and not just machines.
@@efxnews4776lol Witcher 3 that old ass game. Should probably recommend baldurs gate over that
@@ChronoMune heres a tip...
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 were made by Bioware, so Larian now has the old BIOWARE magic.
Also, TW3, may be an old game by now, but it's still is a game that has being updated, just last year it got a next gen update that improve the graphics of TW3.
@@efxnews4776 alright damn you got me. Had no clue about the update that’s pretty lit, they even used some mods that’s crazy. I just might go back and play again myself since I never finished it lol
This is a troll? I mean... I can sense your passion for gaming. That's awesome. But honestly saying a game would be neat 'if it added every single feature in any game that it doesn't have' sounds a bit crazy and troll'ish. i mean. i want the perfect game too. Maybe one day we'll get it....Hell maybe No Man's Sky will turn into that game. But it's a lot to ask. i too want a fully developed 1 to 1 scale galaxy where every planet is individually coded to evolve life randomly to fit specific neitches in that unique planets environment...and environment that will change over time as planets move realisitically through space, experience real weather and cosmic events, complete with advanced life developing where you can meet aliens with their own unique persoanlities to where if you want you can hang up your space ship, pick a backwater world and become a marketing agent, selling advertisement space on a pirate radio frequencey on the second moon of the 5th planet of the WhatTheHellAmITalkingAbout system to where eventually I can implement a communist revolution where i turn that second moon into a soviet dystopia with me as it's authortarian ruler everntually controlling a space fleet of 1 million ships where I will invade the galaxy in my attempts to eventually convert or wipe all out all sentient life...and once io do that...i'll go meta and try to hack the source code and then i will prove to all the AI sentient life in the game that they're actually part of the matrix which will cause mass hysteria in the game world......
Question from a noob. Do you collect things on your exploring? Like, items that only come from a specific planet?
There are tons of things to collect and rare ships.
I just picked it back up after a year away, a lot has changed!
This was great, though I think you missed a fairly massive positive which is the VR mode. It’s now fully realized and quite wonderful. Makes it one of the more complete VR games to have been released and underwater exploring and building in VR is lovely. The only thing that blows is the vehicle controls, I wish they would allow more customization there. Very impressed with this game
You are absolutely right! It is slightly unheard of that a full AAA console/PC experience is available with all the same content in VR! Seriously underrated purely based on that imo
I just bought the game. Im very glad.
Still some glitches that need to get fixed, like the super slow refiners and items dissappearing in refiners, enemy ships flying through the freighters, inability to land on much smooth terrain, too difficult salvaged frigate modules forcing cheats (yes you do cheat, don't lie to me!), scanners that don't work, bases, communications modules and save modules that don't show up, terrible click building physics, greater incentive for base building, not enough useful Quicksilver items, saveable note field for space stations visited. Still, by far the best game out there.
7:35 grenades shields and companions are all things in the game my guy! do love the vid still though just had to point it out lol
i really hope in the future they would add civilizations to be generated on some planets that are not within reach of the sentinels. With complete quest lines, lores, cultures, npcs. it would completely up the game to a whole new level.
Are planets now actually uninhabited or does there just happen to be stations and stuff everywhere as that kind of killed the feeling of exploring the unknown for me.
I had been eyeing this game since it was announced. Almost bought it multiple times, but didn't... Until the Worlds Part 1 update.
My goodness, this game is amazing. I've only had it for a month now, but I've already put over 100 hours into it. My only real complaint is the inventory management. It sucks sooooo much.... haha. If they could improve that somehow, I'd be a happy camper.
Overall though, this game is an easy 10/10 for me. Can't wait to see what HG does with Light No Fire!
The game looks BEAUTIFUL in a lot of aspects, but I still wait for it's combat to get just a bit better before picking it up for myself.
I play on a friend's PC from time to time whenever i visit, but this game really has been polished
First-day player, stopped many times, one hiatus lasting about two and a half year when the Expeditions started, because the game's FPS went horrendously low (making it unplayable) - tried again every time a, Expedition started (same frustating result) then the game started working again
The World 1st Part update was amazing, waiting for the 2nd part whenever it comes
I bought this game on sale - 60% off thought why not buy it cheap... and wow i am amazed how great this game is with the graphics and framerate. There is so much to do and its online! Never knew I would see other players . 100% recommend
There are energy shields, cloaking devices and even "grenade launcher" secondary attachments you can put on any multitool. These are not passive bonuses but active devices that provide alternatives to combat.
The animation itself needs to be fixed. Holding a weapon clearly mean to be held two-handed like a rifle just down by your side like a pistol you’re hip firing is jarring. Some type of ADS would also be welcome
In my opinion this game was more than worth the asking cost in 2018. Since then its gotten dozens of new updates. FFS, since this video came out, they added proper fishing and new bio hazards! If you were even remotely disappointed in Starfield than try NMS because its what starfield wishes it would be.
Just restarted, and it’s a blast! Omg there’s so much to I could play 70 hours in a row and not even notice.. good job HG. ✌️
I think it would be cool if they gave us the ability to hire mercenaries and build a small army or attack squad so that we could have epic battles on the ground as a counterpart to the ones we can have in ship combat.
Also the ability to ADS ‼️
No Man Sky is a masterpiece and a legend. Must play.
As a PC gamer coming from wing commander, privateer, and star citizen - this is an awesome game.
The mechanics work and it’s FUN to explore. The cartoonish colors do make it look stupid, but this is what we wanted star citizen to have. An actual space exploration game that works.
100% it’s nowhere near star citizen depth and art, but it fills the gap between crazy awesome tech demo and enjoyable game play. My only complaint is the art direction. If it was darker and grittier a lot more sci-fi fans would be on board.
I want to buy it but the fact that it doesn't have an entertaining combat puts me off. Do you know if it will be updated in the future?
Someone seems to be experiencing Starfield Derangement Syndrome (SDS). I want to avoid biased individuals posing as "legitimate reviewers." Sure, you might find support among other SDS sufferers, but in the long run, this will only harm your perspective. It's essential to strive for objectivity.
Personally, I found Starfield much more enjoyable than NMS. Both games have their strengths and unique features. Based on your review, I would miss out on playing Starfield or approach it with a predisposed negativity. This doesn’t serve anyone well.
honestly I would be very happy with new structures and little outpost cities with vendors and stuff
We need custom sentinel ships and more mod spots for the exocrafts.
Custom sentinel ships could definitely be added since they did the same with the solar class! 🤞
@@AverageGameReviews and even shuttles just custom ships in general and exo crafts im pretty sure people would use them more if you could mod more and get more slots. Those things have sooooo much potential.
@@Wet_Noodle209 Agreed. Exo crafts definitely need a bit of a buff. Such a cool feature that is hardly used!
Great review! Thanks!
I bought it at launch and yes... it was hot trash.... I could not forgive Hello Games. Today, I gave it a shot one more time after watching tons of NMS videos.... after 30+hours replaying it.... I can definitely say they have redeemed themselves.
I bought this game as soon as it came out on switch...I also have an Xbox series X....Today, this is by far one of the best "pick me up and do anything" type of game. If you enjoy playing a video game at your own pace, this is for you.
Does it run well on switch? It's on sale and I'm considering it.
@@shanecrunk7506 yes it does, I have yet to experience any issues.
I advice every No man's Sky fan, to watch the anime, Astra lost in space.
Ill check it out!
I just wish NMS had better multiplayer game modes. Imagine a wave defense survival mode or perhaps a freighter takeover mode!
@@current3109 That would be mega!! Needs a big multi part mission to remove sentinels from a planet too!
how high is the learning curve? Are there like 100 different mechanics to learn? I don't mind a steeping learning curve, but I don't want to take out a collage loan to take a course in No Man Sky Basics.
It's definitely steep and even 30hrs in you may be googling stuff quite often. Depends how much you want to get out of the game though - the more you explore and work it out, the better it gets!
Have a look at my beginners guide to guage the early game learning curve: ruclips.net/video/phQr4xSAsUA/видео.html
I'd imagine it depends on what other games you play, though. I see comments from some players that the curve is just too steep - so it depends where your expectations are!
They patched the Liquidators Minotaur glitch and on my birthday!!!!
Yay!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
ye the game is pretty impressive, but without combat or a good incentive to explore planets or to even just build bases, I get bored of it very quickly every time :c But I do come back to it from time to time, fire up a new playthrough and hope I find something that keeps me in. That's usually hunting for money and finding a nice ship :D
Its absolutely incredible. But after building 10 bases there is very little to do. The missions are okay but a bit repetitive. Fetchit missions. But this can be fixed...
the one thing this game absolutely needs is planatary destruction. Asteroids hitting them and turning them into wastelands, weapons powerful enough to destroy an entire planet in one blast such as the death star. It'd be amazing.
three things that are still on my wishlist for NMS multi biome planets localised storms and more structures in planets and in space
Some kind of raid with different enemy types. Outside of the sentinels there’s not really anything else to fight. The bugs that hop out of eggs need more variations maybe some big boss versions. Would also be nice if you could fight with the big death worms instead of them just being a visual effect.
@@Ethdawg Agreed!!
Got this game a while back but I didn’t play it too much, as I didn’t have anyone to play it with then. Can someone explain to me how multiplayer works in this game (at 3:08 it says you can seamlessly transition from single player to multiplayer, so is it theoretically possible to ever run into a planet inhabited by multiple players?)
How do you find the ship?What are you supposed to do?Where are you supposed to go?
all of this the game tells you. The fist 100 hours of gameplay is basically a massive tutorial. And at the same time you are nothing "supposed" to do, since you can do whatever you want.
Follow the tutorial and everything will be clear to you. The game is overwhelming but not complex.
Why are there no worlds already inhabited with cities and alien people.
Rondojack
I think the next thing they should do is add random Burger Kings about
Great idea even better Walmarts
it's on steam sale now is it worth it to buy and start palying now?
It's way cheaper if you use CDkeys
I might have to pick up no man’s sky now
Id personally love some minor quality of life upgrades. It gets a bit annoying to harvest the various farms you build over the years, so if they'd implement some minor automation for that, it'd be appreciated. At the very least, let us hire people in our Freighter / bases to collect and store the resources instead of either completely ignoring our giant backlog of farms, or spending a lot of time everytime we boot up to collect all the resources
Gaming's best ever redemption arc
100%
Great review.
I have it on PS5 & XSX, but it looks stunning on the PS. Am it the only one having this difference?
I have a feeling Xbox might still be behind on updates...or perhaps it's better optimised on PS5. Xbox is notorious for having stability problems with NMS!
I just bought no man sky yesterday still downloading the update.
I LOVE No Mans Sky. I wish people would STOP crapping on Starfield! ! It's a Different GAME! Shush
I hate to say it, but NMS is kind of a testament to the fact that Early Access works out, sometimes.
I’ve been playing for years I really like this game.
Mate, your choice in when to cuss is brilliant and adds a a fantastic comedic element, don't edit the curse words! xD
i played this game when it first launched on ps4, seems like they got their shit together enough for me to consider getting it on pc
I really really want a good narrative story to give me incentive to play the game.
Literally just installed it, have just got to.a second planet. Started this video and im pausing it. Need to go game. Soooo much to do
I started it Thursday and have about 20 hours in 3 days. That whole first star system is like a prologue. It gets WAYYYY cooler if you explore and follow some main missions.
Have fun!!
Starfield is interesting, it feels like their main goal was to create a space for people to mod, they misunderstood why this happened to skyrim. People wanted the game to keep going past the content that was put in bc there was a lot of great content. Idk what made them think people would respond similarly to a bunch of nothing
The constant autosaving that you have ZERO control over the frequency of is like stepping on a rake and getting smacked in the face every time you try to do anything; totally immersion breaking. I've been sticking up for No Mans Sky against the haters since the start, but I've come to the conclusion that I love the idea of this game a lot more than I love the actual game, and I think I'm actually done now. Sick of clinging to hope...
Autosaving breaks your immersion? Are you talking about the 'restore point saved' icon that comes up?
@@AverageGameReviews no, I mean any time trying to interact with any object, the game holds you there waiting for the game to save, with apparently no limit to how often it saves, often several times within seconds. Especially frustrating when in combat, trying to pick up the shield recharges...
@@Neon_White Are you on PC? this isn't something that happens on PS5...
@@AverageGameReviews ps4
@@AverageGameReviews sad, because all it would take to make this a non-issue is to put a setting for autosave frequency in the settings
Been thinking of getting this while it’s on sale. Is it fun co-op?
I love this game. I want to play this game. My problem is this, no matter what I do, I cannot get the Sentinels to stop chasing me once they are pissed at me. I have watched several youtube videos but nothing has worked. I own this game on 3 different systems. I really do love this game.
Diig a deep hole and dig away from them, wait till timer goes to 0
I'm downloading this game now hopefully it's good. On the Xbox Series X I'm new to the game so hopefully it's good.
Perfect unless you wanna change the color of your ship after building it
Can it be played offline and in first person ?
Yes and yes
@sky_nova8540 👍
It's an 8/10 game made into a 9/10 because of it's size and variation for me.
So the main-focus of the game is still exploration and farming, isn't it?
There's not a big (singleplayer) Story, Quests etc. or anything going on?
Yes, most of your time is spent exploring! There are storylines to follow but they are not hugely involved.
@@AverageGameReviews Thanks a lot :)
No mans sky, at least to me, is hard to explain to someone new. It's just so much now! You can explore, be a pirate, be a nip nip farmer, build, be a fisher! Whatever!
Like how Microsoft bought Minecraft, it would be cool to see them or someone else big buy this when the studio finish updating it to add more and more updates themselves.
This game is similar, too, as in that it started pretty bare like Minecraft and eventually more and more things were added, bringing more intrigue.
I genuinely think the possibilities for this game could be endless with how it's designed. Seeing as it's procedurally generated with practically unlimited planets, the depth this game could potentially reach is very deep. The fact the graphics are in an art style that keeps it up with the times works well in its favour, too.
I really do hope a bigger studio buy it when they stop updating it, but not one that would add shitry micro transactions.
haven't played this since a couple months after it initially released. planning on going back. is it like starting a completely new game to learn now?
making clans would be cool and seeing ur mates then on the map or solo duo trio quad servers
I played that for a week 2wks ago and yes it's better but I ended up getting bored of the repetitive gameplay, everywhere looks different but you still do the same stuff, there's only so much base building you can do before that becomes boring, I put it down for less repetitive games
The game will never be perfect because they continue to update the game and improve on PERFECTION.
One of the greatest games ever made.
