No Man's Sky OT: My god it's full of stars

[Legend]

The PC version is being datamined. There are some potential spoilers in that thread so I won't copy it all over. here

As for non spoiler stuff, it seems the game still has almost all the code from their old demos.

Has this:




The shaders are not pre-compiled so moders should have a pretty easy time changing them.




And the engine isn't in house. It's actually just a modified version of Unity.

Steamspy is putting the game at about 390k sold as of yesterday (though I heard Steamspy numbers always need a couple days until they become fully reliable, so you know grain of salt).

The games userscore has also risen to 58% positive reviews on Steam, which is far better than it initially was (like 33%) and that is with a whopping 33k userreviews.

They have 120k concurrent players on Steam right now, the game has created 23 million views on Youtube last week and the dedicated subreddit has grown by over 56k people in the last 7 days.

What I'm trying to say is that Hello Games somehow managed to create a game that seems unable to fail, by all accounts it would seem that this game should be considered a huge disappointment, but for some reason you don't see any of that. All these controversies that popped up seem to have disappeared without doing any real harm to the product and the game's just trucking along selling a shitload of copies.

This game just screams "Destiny" to me. Poor reviews, broken promises, repetitive mechanics, and nevertheless millions of fans love it to death.

dang!   The highest slots I've seen is 20 I think.  I'm waiting to find one that has 30 or more before I buy a new ship.  I've just only cracked a million units, but later I'm gonna mine a shame ton of gold/emiril and get a lot more. I've warped only 3 times and I don't think I've gotten any closer to the center yet.  

Question:  How do you get a hyperdrive theta(or whatever it's called)  Do you just have to find a ship that has one? Or is there upgrade blueprints for the hyperdrive you can find?

Yeah pretty much.

Speak of the devil. Modders replaced the font with Destiny's.

Yeah thats what i'm gonna try as well.  I made about 400k off emiril in about 20 minutes of farming which isn't too bad.  But what fish did sounds better.

But no I didn't read that article. I was actually confused about what the star was till i looked closer. I hate and love this game doesn't tell you shame about it. lol.  Hell I didn't even know We have a flashlight, or we could punch. I didn't figure that out till days later. Honestly I don't know why punch is there.

I guess it's because my entire ff online career was spent at the auction house. lol. It's the same thing but I buy and sell the NPC's. It would be cool to have a live auction board in game.

Did you know that if you sprint then hit L1 and then X immediately after you will be propelled forward quicker.  Or just sprint and hit L1.
