This is getting shredded on steam reviews. Currently at 1,025 positive reviews and 2,421 negative. Is it that bad?
Seems like crashes, framerate stuttering and just poor performance in general is getting it negged. I dare say the cries of bad console port are on everyone's lips.
Hopefully people amend their reviews appropriately once this gets patched up.
Been watching a guy play it for 3 hours, zero crashes and there have also been at least 2 updates/patches.
Streamer is CohhCarnage. He has been playing in on PS4 for the past few days now he is doing the PC thing. He is doing it like every other 'new' person would do it. So a pretty fair and neutral play through.
Just about all reviews on steam that are bad are the game will not run or runs poorly, or crashes.
Not good. Will see some reviews when the launch bugs are worked out on actual gameplay.
I will continue to wait like normal. (for me) for launch issues go away to get the game. I just am too old ( maybe wise?) to get caught up in the launch of any game anymore.
Hope they get it straightened out soon though. As always, bad impressions at launch are real hard to overcome.
I havent played that but I want to be clear I am using the word 'context' instead of 'goal' etc. Namely because 'goal' quickly gets confused with the greater goal and then starts getting into silly phiolophical debates over the meaning of life. No I mean context at that moment.
So a puzzle to get to over the bridge for example is context. The problem that Rising World has is that there is very little context to ANYTHING. meaning its literally just an infinite open world where you have all the tool but you dont need to mine anything, you dont need to bake anything, you dont need to gather anything so no context. Now to be fair that has been changing and they have been adding some context but they have a long way to go still. So context, not goal
Part of the problem is you haven't played Journey because it has very little context but is amazing. The only information you are provided in Journey is that you're a robed figure in a vast desert, traveling towards a mountain in the distance. That's all gleaned through the visuals.
no puzzles at all. zero correct?
There may be minor roadblocks you hAve to overcome, I can't remember atm, but no where near thought intensive enough to be puzzles.
And this is why alot of us dont get excited one iota over new releases...This game was supposedly on par with Eve from what we read about here, and yet again another steaming pile of garbage they expect us to pay for.....Once games like this start demanding money from customers they had better deliver.

And this is what I find confusing, nothing at all that I read even put it in the same ballpark of EVE. So what the heck are you guys reading?
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

People read an article, draw their own conclusions and then substitute their conclusions for what was written.
Like I said ben watching a guy for 4 hours now and zero issues. He has had some guys commenting that they are personally having issues, so they do exist I suppose, but Steam is Steam and reviews there are meaningless.
besides obviously there are going to be more negative than positive because the few that are having these issues arent playing and will go there and vent, while the guys who dont have these issues are busy playing right now.
I didnt buy it and I wont buy it and I was pretty critical of it when it was being lauded on here years ago. But you have to have some objectivity in these things and these performance issues are not systematic but a small portion of the players. Because no way can a guy play completely uninterrupted since it launched and running 60+ FPS during that whole time with no glitches at all let alone the stuff running rampant on Steam and have it be a completely game breaking issue.
I smell port issues. But the guy running this was running the PS4 version right up until the PC version went live so who knows for sure.

It is not EVE, it is not a steaming pile of garbage, and you have to pay jack sh*t for what doesn't appeal to you. Your disappointment has ZERO to do with its actual quality, it seems you have no clue as NMS and EVE have very little in common.
FYI, I think EVE is a steaming pile of garbage and am blown away by NMS. It does not mean EVE is bad, just that I don't like it. Opinion does not equal fact.

Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer
Why : This game is a process of computation, which leaves out the feel of engagement. It is the same thing repeated in different forms on every planet.
The other part, the developer is just a sketchy dude, his demeanor and meth out body language just puts me off. He in my opinion reminds me of character that created sword art online and trapped all those people into their vr gear.
The game is repetitive, fly find claim fly. simply not enough human involvement in the design, and that is a huge negative for me. It lacks that authentic atmosphere and just gives off a robotic algorithm for atmosphere.
THe developer and creator think he is clever and it is just off putting.
People can agrue that the pig on one planet is not the bird on theother planet, but in reality , they are all the same thing.
... Its likely more niche than most of us expected and desired.
It's likely also a lot more niche than many imagined.
I think many people believed that "exploration with some combat" could be played as "combat with some exploration", but that clearly is not the case. There is only one "main attraction" in NMS: exploration. All the other "career paths" are sideshows without much depth atm. Luckily for me, exploration is my main goal.
HG have promised things like base building and owning huge freighters for future patches, but I'm extremely dubious as to how much will be delivered in that respect at short notice. Trying to rush these features in will quite likely just make things worse...
Well, 8 hours in and I love this game and can't see how I am going to get bored. I keep finding new things, I'm working my way to better ships and suits, I've found a landing pad on a planet with a trader and lots of other ships (npcs) come in and visit for you to engage with.
Resource management is interesting and with that and the desire for achievements and improving things, plus of course surviving and discovery, there is just loads I can see me doing. I don't want to put it down but have to go out with family now.
Not had a bug or a crash and I am surprised to hear the reviews are more negative than positive. I honestly think people could perhaps have not done their homework before buying. This game is amazing now and when they keep developing it and adding in more stuff, it's only going to get better. 10/10, not least because I paid £40 for it and if I get 40 hours (I'll get many, many more for sure), then that's amazing value for money in terms of entertainment. £1 per hour at least, when you consider the cost of anything else you do. Some people lose sight of that and think that if they are fed up or bored after 50-100 hours, the game is crap.

Do you have an AMD GPU? kind of wondering because it looks like the game has a lot of stuttering even on high end gaming rigs at the moment, the stream i have been watching, the guy has a 1080 GPU and an intel cpu, and its, not looking good, with the game even comparing poorly with the PS4 version? after a few hours in the game the stuttering became so bad that it seriously affected gameplay, possibly the result of a memory leak. I think people need to check out the youtube vids on the PC version before buying this, as it looks like it needs a lot more work yet before its good enough, and with Total Biscuit saying that the port looks to be as bad as the Arkham Knight port for PC, then thats some massive red flags already. Maybe once the game has had a few more patches things will work better, but for right now, it is not looking very good.
If anyone's looking for general user opinions, check out the reviews on GOG https://www.gog.com/game/no_mans_sky The reviews there seem much more balanced than the bombing you see on Steam or Metacritic.

The problem is that for some people the game is almost unplayable, whilst others (like me) have no serious problems at all. It seems like certain combinations of hardware and software are struggling, while others have no issues.
I don't have a monster rig, I'm running an i7-6700K, 980ti, 16Gb RAM and Win 10. Yet some people with 1080's are having huge problems.
Good thing HG just hired a large QA team for the PC version, looks like they're going to need it !
Which is how it was meant to be, just like the Martian film I guess. Enjoying that bit, knowing its down to me and not me getting some leg-up from someone else. It always looked lonely from the streams and videos so I guess there's no surprise there but I love it.
Why : This game is a process of computation, which leaves out the feel of engagement. It is the same thing repeated in different forms on every planet.
I get this.
Like the big thing about these worlds you can explore is the fact that it's all done with an algorithm, numbers.
Not by someones imagination.
And that's the main problem I have with procedural generation. The worlds lack imagination, and are very stale to explore.
Untill machines can replicate human imagination I'll pass on these games.

Then again, for some "gamerz" that is too much to ask.

It's sad to see the PC version just tackled in like that if there is emulation of stuff from consoles on PC.
