The No Man's Sky's controversy has brought to light concerns some gamers have regarding truth in advertising, some taking action to hold devs accountable.
No Man's Sky is only 1% away from hitting an overall positive review score on Steam, a monumental achievement 6 years post-launch.
Hello Games put in so much work with NMS. It's similar to CDPR, they massively improved Cyberpunk, Hello Games took that multiple steps further and have just poured everything into this title, rather than say f*ck it and move on.
Title says 8 years since launch, blurb says 6 years since launch. Videogamer's AI journos making weird mistakes as usual.
No Man's Sky's July 2024 update gave it a massive PS5 player count boost as new and returning PS5 and PS4 players checked out the Worlds Part 1 changes.
HelloGames must be one of the most patient and devoted game developer in history. All those updates since they launched the game nearly 10 years ago have been free.
Well-done to the team. NMS continue to impress
No Man’s Sky may be the best video game redemption of all time. It’s also a better game than Starfield.
This game is simply amazingly polished right now.
I personally would still love a less 'cartoonish' approach in the art design of a space exploration game, but I am truly amazed of the indefinite space they are able to simulate in NMS.
If you're into space exploration, all with planets, galaxies, black holes, flora & fauna, huge distances, warp jumps, research, minerals, myths, chemistry and so much else, then NMS is a true gem of its game.
In all of this fields SO vastly superior to Starfield.
There's no comparison really. Let alone the excitment of freely approaching and landing on a planet the first time.
Hat's off to Hello Games!
It's a masterpiece in the genre.
Would be dope if more devs supported their games like this that fell a lil short when released smh. This one of the only devs
People can talk about and praise how much of a good comeback Cyberpunk was, but it's nothing compared to what Hello Games has been doing for this game. The level of commitment, ongoing support and free updates, makes this by far the best redemption in gaming history.
Rare, the developer behind pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, has introduced a dedicated dog park to its studio grounds for employees' good boys and girls.
Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.
I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.
The lesson here is there is no reason to have confidence in ambitious games from studios that have no track record of delivering on that kind of ambition. You should wait to see how a game turns out first. Anybody who pre-ordered, and dismissed the nms skeptics concerns before hand have only themselves to blame
The lesson is a bad game is a bad game.
Today's culture has no home for anything that isn't the "Best" thing in its market. There's no longer room for a game to be just okay, or for a movie to be only entertaining. There is a constant pressure from developers, consumers, and studios to make products award winning. This kind of method will really stagnate creativity with everyone trying to out-do one another instead of just creating one's own original experience. Things will be changing for Hello Games, hopefully, they are given another chance at making a big title.
Game developers have a closer relationship with their audiences than TV or Movies do. I like that you point this out here, with an indication that we will remember it longer.
