No Man's Sky, The Intergalactic Exploration Simulator

Hi I love this game a lot, and also there's so much to see and I want to share it with you. Also if you want me to name a rock/plant/creature/planet/star system after you or one of your characters I can totes do that, and if someone else finds their way to that place they'll see whatever name I put in C:

Some cool pictures I've taken so far:

My starter planet, which I named Vassleheim after a city from Critical Role after I got into space.





A weird critter I discovered.



And I started in a section of the universe with a race of Daft Punk-esque NB android things :D

 

I'm on the PC, and so far I haven't had any real issues. There's some texture clashing in places where biomes fuse together, and there's a weird film grain sometimes that gets me in the 'not sure if bug or feature' kind of mindset. I know people had issues immediately hopping into their preorder ship, because it has a hyperdrive and that throws off a starter quest chain, so I waited until I'd finished all that before upgrading.

Here's a hot planet I found with some things that highly resembled lil dragons flying around. My scanner wasn't powerful enough to reach them though. Tempted to name the planet 'Pern' because of them.

On a different, and extremely RED planet, I found this absolutely fucking adorable burrowing critter, which I fed and it gave me some rare minerals that I probably couldn't dig up without upsetting the sentinels.
Which.
I never wanna upset them ever again ;n; tiny robo environmentalist friends.

 

that is sure one angry burrowing critter

 

pst if you've got any advice, or questions drop by?

[Edit:] I preordered and can't play the game until i've finished building the new computer :(

 

..I think I just worked out a Plot Twist and I'm paralyzed with indecision

 

@Snitchanon We get pretty bad stuttering on my partner's homemade gaming PC. Admittedly, it's a few years old at this point, but it's still pretty powerful and should be able to run the game better. A bit disappointing, given that a lot of the appeal is in the environments and exploring them. Still been having fun though.

 

IT FELT LIKE 2 AT MOST.
Hello new time sink, jfc.

 

I just tried to play the game on my laptop. The laptop wept, and then the game crashed :(

 

Have had a really shitty day. Scenery helped me. Maybe it'll make some of you happy.

 

I shall love it and pet it and call it Steve

 

I've been excited to play this, but I'm uncertain due to the issues I've heard about with the PC port - which, my PC is a "gaming laptop," but it's also several years old, so... who knows. I might just wait for my sister to (hopefully) get the PS4 edition for her birthday, and use that? Hm. In any case I'm excited.

 

Oh man, this game sounds fun - how much is it?

 

$60, at least for the PC; the PS4 version probably has a similar pricetag.

ETA: this is the Steam price, totally forgot it was also on GOG haha

 

If you get it via GOG, $45.79
Elsewhere, more expensive. I got it as a gift ;u; I recommend purchasing through either GOG or Humble. Humble gives you a Steam key and it's the same price as on Steam, but 10% goes to a charity of your choice.

 

Ahaha yeah I can't afford that. Oh well, maybe I'll put it on my Christmasbirthday list.

 

gog is showing me 59.99
