No Man's Sky - Atlas Rises - You Can't Take the Sky from Me - MMORPG.com
Over the past year, Hello Games has been releasing major update patches for No Man’s Sky to try to bring us back to the stars. While the previous updates introduced new vehicles, base building mechanics, and fixes to graphical issues, No Man’s Sky’s 1.3 patch focuses on developing the story, new ways to play the game, UI improvements, and some MAJOR quality-of-life components. While there are many parts to the Atlas Rises update, in this review, I will be focusing four elements of the update.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Have you played 1.3? NMS - Atlas Rises is akin to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. It does indeed deserve another look.
Im sure they have added features but its Hello Games that i wont support. They blatantly lied about the game to sell it at a 60$ price tag. At release it was no better than a EA game on steam. I was one of the poor souls that got hyped up with the game and slowly had my dreams crushed as i was playing the game realizing that it was all a lie.
With the steam sale of 60% off, you won't go wrong with the money. People should really stop blaming them for a scam, it isn't one considering they actually HAVE been fixing it and seem to feel guilty about what happened.
I, for one, am enjoying the hell out of it.
So i shouldn't call it a scam because they are sorry about it? Meh, you guys have fun with this one. Ill pass.
Aztok, I will admit: before writing this article, I was incredibly incredulous toward these updates, too. I was also in the camp of people burned by pre-ordering NMS - haven't pre-ordered a game since. If you notice, in the article, I shared my dissatisfaction with the original release and I walked away from it. Again, the game is not what was promised, but rather than completely dropping the ball, Hello Games is trying to make the best out of their fumble by releasing major content update for free.
You don't have to like No Man's Sky or this review, but I would challenge you, if you still own the game, to take a few minutes to update and revisit it without the preconceptions or prerelease promises of what the game is going to be like. You may not enjoy it, but I promise that you will at the very least notice where improvements to the game were made.

A developer should be able to cut and change things as they see fit but say one thing to a player who is salivating for their game and that's it, it's "a feature".

You can bad mouth Hello games all you like but what they have right now is a good game. May not be for everyone, but I like it and that is what matters to me.
I think I get what you are saying. I considered buying this week because I figured as someone who had not played it 1.3 might be worth the sale price. .. that being a year of updates making the game worth the sale price or *maybe* the initial price.
People that paid full price for a released game that took a year to almost get to where it should are the people that gave it a bad reputation and rightly so.
From my perspective (and maybe what you are saying), looking at the game now, it makes sense to buy it given the price and that they continue to update it.

I read something bout you seing other players as orbs? That sure doesnt sound like the co-op I would like to have from a game like this. I wanna trade, attack, start corps, put bountys on other players etc. Maybe somewhere down the line they will implement that, and then the game would truly stand out.
Storms can really hurt when starting out. Find a cave or make one if you have a grenade option on your 'gun'.

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer
I was curious as to why its on an mmorpg site. Bill didnt shit post he stated that i should try it again because of said reasons. Thats how you respond to what i said. You dont sit there and tell people to not read an article on a website dedicated to articles. lulz so here i am. in this article. now what?
