No Man's Sky - Procedural space game

[GTAMADDOG]

Even through the grief this game has received, I am very interested in it. However, my PC has a 2500K i5 and 8GB ram with a 760GTX. Would the game run with that spec? - assuming it didn't do anything odd on install/startup. Just on "enough grunt" to run it.

I'm using a 2500k, 8GB RAM and a HD7970 and it ran reasonably well on medium settings (minus the occasional stuttering). I didn't try the graphics on any higher settings, but I'd say there was a little bit of scope to push one or two things up to high.

After playing the game for just under two hours last weekend I think I'll be getting a refund, I just can't get in to it and despite messing with FOV it still makes my head spin after 15 minutes for some reason. Unfortunately I can't find anything else to buy with the £40 at the moment, so I'll leave it for the Autumn/Winter sales

Did I see someone mention something about missions hidden in one of the menus somewhere? I'm not seeing this.

Bad reviews, bad user experiece, terrible performance, console port.

It's like they took some of the worst aspects of gaming and stuffed them into single, 'unique' experience.

The most overhyped money grab in recent memory.

There are no missions in this game.

It works just fine for me on PC.

Hmm, after having a go of it I cant see any longevity or point to the game.

As much as I liked Rise of the Tomb Raider for example, NMS has lasted far longer already for me than that.

Yeh me too. Although there is 'nothing to do', Steam shows me 23 hours and I'm only on the 2nd system. Only did 20 with RotTR.

Just hoping the patches and mods add more

I assume you've picked up on it by now but unless you actually want the long walk back you should be able to find an anomaly within 2 minutes where you can call your ship to you using the facility or a random bollard like looking thing (with a bypass chip).

At £40 I walked back, got to try and get my moneys worth

After 76 hours, i've managed to max out my ship



Then 10 mins later a friendly alien offered me a 24 slot multitool, would have been rude to say no

Don't know if posted but someone had redone this classic YouTube vid with a NMS twist

Seen it, good but predictable.

I refunded this after 2 hours but my brother didnt and reached the centre of the universe last night after 79 hours, when he told me what happens in a rage induced rant I nearly dropped my phone laughing.

I can't wait until this is £4.62 on a Steam summer sale in 2018. Then I'll buy it.

Personally I'm loving the game. 25 hours in and only just jumped to my second system.

It's my ideal game to play after a long rough day at work. Great to unwind to.

Playing the experimental branch via steam and it's much improved performance wise since launch.

Only been on around 5 planets so far so not seen too much yet. Mostly radioactive/hot planets so not much variety just yet but here are some random shots i've taken so far;

And came across this random guy walking alone on some mountain

That last screen is brilliant!
