No Man's Sky - Procedural space game

Found this on my starting planet. Lucky me!
 
What is the lowest end GPU anyone is running this on?
I've moved countries and didn't take the PS4 with me, so would quite like to buy this on PC. A little concerned that my laptop GPU (7970M) might not be able to keep up at 1080p. Performance would be around HD7850/7870 desktop card...

I liked the game to begin with, but the last couple of updates made it so much better. Really wanting to try out this most recent one!

Edit: For anyone wondering, the situation isn't too pretty! Mostly low details at 1080p, but think if I disable AA/AF ingame and set from Radeon control panel it'll maybe help a little. It'll do the job though, and at 67 yuan, I can't complain! :D

Hmm dunno what is wrong but with 1.3 its taking ages to load - 4-5x longer than the previous fairly lengthy galaxy flythrough loading screen and performance is down 2/3rds ingame except in space stations where its the same as before.
 
So far they have all worked fine and the modders did update them for the Atlas Rising patch.

Got from Nexus / nomansskymods.
 
How are you guys going about playing this? It's my first time and I'm mainly following the story which seems to basically serve to tutorialise the different aspects of the game, just got to base building? I assume this quest line is the new 30hour content?

Just want to know I'm doing things right lol. So far the planets have been ugly :( but the base building quest had just sent me to a gorgeous snowy planet with pine trees etc, so I'm happy to set up there!

I just don't want to miss anything :D
 
Why the sudden love for this game? Reviews have got so much better on Steam. Seems like there were hundreds, nay, thousands of children throwing their toys out the pram when it was released, like a thunderious avalanche. Now they have all stopped having their funny five minutes and stopped sending their death threats (really mature gaming community). Are things are back on track for this company/game?

Its such a massive turn around of gamers opinion that part of my brain is thinking Hello Games have spent all their game sales cash on buying good reviews!
 
The reason there is a turnaround is, players went with the crowds, as they always do, when it was first released. Instead of staying with the game and seeing for themselves. The game was solid back then and is still a solid fun game. HG have pandered a little to the moaners, with updates, but its easy to appease people like those mentioned.

The latest patch, 1.3 offers much more of what was initially promised imo and for me made it a must buy. That and I felt even as it was it was worth £15.99 . Had my eye on it since launch but never wanted to shell out £40 for something I wasn't too sure about. But as it is now it seems well worth the sale price and maybe even the rrp
 
^^^^^ Agree with the above.

Only got 5 hours play time but so far I'm enjoying it, especially with the mods that I have used.

Not got too much of a clue what I'm doing but there seems no rush so I'm happy enough to bumble along.

Glad that I pitched in now with the latest release and, of course, the price drop. Without the £15.99 offer and this patch I doubt that I would have bothered, too much bad history for me to risk "full" price.
 
Even at launch I played it for a bit, it wasn't worth the £40 I paid and I will openly admit that. But it was relaxing just exploring and moving around. I played it as a wind-down after a hard days work and it was good for that.

Now they're adding more content in though, I feel it could start to live up to year old expectations.

I can understand the disappointment a little, although I enjoyed the game when it was released. It was cool to hate it at release, and the bandwagon was full steam ahead.
The updates definitely made it much better though. Survival mode should have been in there from the beginning!

It's refreshing to see the game being turned around by HG, most other companies would have kept quiet and done very little to address complaints.

Are you joking??

Compared to what it is now this game had virtually NOTHING on release.

Remind yourself, all it had was 'fly to different planets, get resources and fly to other planets'. It was in no way solid, content rich or even remotely close to a finished game.

Theyve what, tripled the content in the past year? To the point where its just about what it was described as on release. I've tried it again and there is enough content there to hold me back in for now.

They haven't done this because of the moaners, of which it wasnt a few seeing as it managed to become the most negatively reviewed game ever in less than a month by users, theyve done it because both the players deserve it and the vast amounts of money that it made from the hype train.
 
It wasn't bad originally, but the price was a joke for what was released.

That coupled with the broken 'promises' (IMHO a lot of people read far too much into certain statements and techdemos) meant a massive upswell of bad feeling.....

£15 is more reasonable for the current state, but sadly in the eyes of many community members the game will be forever tainted.
