Review: No Man's Sky



This game, the hype for this game, was over the charts, past the line, whatever you call it, it was an explosive hype from when the E3 Trailer was released last year's E3 2015. Everyone, including me, was waiting for this bomb of 2016. Instead, when it came, I'd rather support Donald Trump than spend 60$ for this game. Here's why;
Lemme tell you why this game was an utter disappointment and failure, at E3, the Teaser Trailer was made to look like "Oh cool good Graphics, looks like it had a story and its a cool open universe/galaxy where you can go everywhere and the galaxy is never ending with quantilion planets. There would be a good story"
Sad to say, the only true things are the good graphics and the never ending universe. Other than that, it's just mining for resources, repairing or upgrading your ship, and travelling to different Universes by Warp Driving, and sometimes Black Holes. Sure it's fun for like three hours (which is the most I got out of it, my imaginary girlfriend gives me more time *wink wink*) but then when you decided to turn off your PC/PS4, and then play the next day, you don't feel like it. Why? Because its boring.
The goal is to get to the center of the Galaxy. You keep travelling to different Universes, spend hours and probably days upgrading your ship, and upgrading your suit, and finally, when you get to the Center, BOOM, you're warped to another Galaxy and you've got to begin over (Don't worry, your upgrades and ship will be the same). The moment I realized I've been warped to a new Galaxy, I RAGED, threw my mouse at the wall, and 50$ down the drain. So basically I lost 110$ with 0 gain. Not even a good gameplay.
What in the heck was Hello Games thinking? A resource mining, habitat upgrading game? HECK, they might've even made a newer Minecraft. Atleast put a good story in it. Everything is okay, but the fake hopes they've given us and the PRICE? They've come with a Bang but their own bang has left them in pieces.
I am overjoyed to tell you that Hello Games in under investigation by the British for false advertising. (Yay Britain)
There's not much survival etiquette, the combat system is so bad, my dog can poop better, you basically have to reload by opening up the inventory, click the Isotope you want to use for re-charging and load it into the Gun. Let me tell you, the game doesn't pause while the Inventory is open. So you're getting all whacked up by the enemy while you reload. The Terrain, Organisms and the Plants are very beautiful, but that's all good I can say about it.
When I began the journey I’d intended to not give up until I reached the center of the galaxy, but after all this time I’ve come to the realization that there’s no way that’ll happen anytime soon. The jump distance is the worst, and you have to use your Jetpack most of the time. The silly sod doesn't know how to fly.
When I first got the game, it lagged, it was like at 10FPS on low. I think I got Stage 3 cancer by looking at that. Finally, good old nVidia released their optimized driver for the game and I was getting 45+ FPS.
Hello? Hello Games, you should've warned us about this, thanks for not alerting nVidia/AMD about your release and not releasing the Optimized Driver early.
Finally, they said that it would've been a "Multiplayer" Game, so that means, you should be able to see other players right? WRONG!! You only can see what the other players have named their discovered planets. I mean the chances of meeting another player are the chances of 0.1% and since its a procedurally generated game, it's very rare you meet another player. But two players actually met within a week launch of the game, but they couldn't see each other. There was a huge outburst after this, and thus, became the downfall of the Great No Man's Sky.
I really hope we don't get more cancerous and toxic games like this in the future. Let's hope to see that Hello Games is gone for good.
