No on the pre-load. I've been checking every so often and it still isn't available.

No pre-load for steam. Stupid synchronized release. Just give us the goddamn game. Do I seem impatient? That's because I am.
I looked up preload. there is none. It will be able to be downloaded and played at 1PM EST.
What do you think of Destiny after your little binge there?

Please share your thoughts on No Man's Sky once you've played for a bit. I was too cynical to believe the hype on this one, but I want to be proven wrong!
Still love that damn game. I've come back to it more than any other, that's for sure. I'll stop playing for months, then binge hard, then stop playing, etc etc.
I'm looking forward to the next expansion at the end of September that's for sure.
Dammit!! Woke up at 5am to get a start on the day and some exploration! 7 Hours to go!!!

and 13hrs until disappointment sets in that the game is a repetitive grind with no real space combat and back to SC 2.5 you go! ;)
as soon as SC 2.5 goes live :) but I am really waiting for 2.6 FPS!!!!!!!

What's with all the hate on NMS? I don't think it ever claimed to be an actual alternative to SC. Its just an arcadey time-killing farting around sort of game. That's what I intend to use it as. Just curious as to what set everyone off about it. The elite Dangerous subreddit is trashing it pretty hard too even though its fairly obvious that very few of them have actually played it. Are we not allowed to like more than one space game?
I definitely don't think it's a AAA game, but with that said, I find that it will be amusing to play for a little bit. Gotta have an animal named Murderer in that verse!!
2.5 PTU additions are fun for like an hour, and server stability seems to have improved a lot, but the framerates dropped from 40-60 to 5-15 in universe, so I'll stick with NMS as long as I can.
Just an hour or two to go, and we will see about the hype! After watching a few first impression videos, my expectations are lowered and probably not too high to ruin my enjoyment.
I hope it's laid-back and varied enough to keep us entertained while the SC verse grows. I always liked games that don't require on-the-edge reflexes and constant thinking about how to do anything in the most efficient way possible. After getting a little burned out on all the Doom/Overwatch/whatevers* fast pace, I would like a game that can be a form of relaxation, and maybe NMS can be that.
And yeah, no one ever officially said it's a competitor to SC, or even Elite, so I don't get why ppl are upset about it's existence. Although it might just beat Elite in the "keep it interesting for more then 5 minutes" race!
*disclaimer: I played through all the dooms except 3 and quake 1-2 in the last couple of months, and also bf4 so yeah, I've had enough of these twitch reflex games for a while :D
Space combat isn't my favourite part of any space sim. So I'm ok with that.
