No Man's Sky did a large content update Version 1.1
You Tube Video
So has anyone played it is it worth downloading the game again?
Or is it too little too late?

 

[Printimus]

Still no multiplayer?

 

[Sportsvee]

The building side of things is very Subnautica. Just on land.

How long will base building and fraigters keep people interested?

Good on them for doing it, but I feel it's too late. Have moved on from that game.

 

[Carlos Spicyweiner]

Ahhhh...nope. Still looks like someone spiked an astronaut's Tang with LSD. SPACE IS NOT PURPLE AND GREEN!!

 

[Havrek]

Because of NMS and I will not play a game that has a console port. I feel like a retard going through all the sub menus just to complete simple tasks. Did they really think that inventory management is a fun sub game the way they implemented it?

 

[Canesman]

Tried the update last night, the menu is still a mess and building isn't very fun yet. It's still a good way to waste some time but I still prefer Starlancer. I am sure in time they will be able to get the issues worked out.

I'm still angry about the 60 bucks I wasted for that game. Could've been a nice Avenger instead. *saltyme*

You not alone. I wasted 60 bucks as well.

I'm still waiting for this game to get invaded by the Modders. It's what happened to Space Engineers and it made all the difference. The bones are there for a pretty fun game, just needs a little tweaking (By 'tweaking' I actually mean that someone needs to mod in Macho Man Randy Savage to replace all wildlife.)

 

[BUTUZ]

Simple answer is we have no idea if it's an improvement as everyone got a refund so there's no players left!

 

[AstroSam]

No refund here, bro ;)

Hm, just tried it. Is as buggy as before since I can't even reach the game, being stuck in the "shader loading screen" :(

 

[supitza]

For me it's a bit too late. It's like someone spits in your coffee in front of you, apologizes (100 days later on Twitter) and then brings you another coffee. Thanks, but I wanted that coffee a long time ago. I'm having tea now.

I bought it through G2A, so I couldn't get a refund. NMS will forever be in my Steam list as a testament of Hello Games' failure and my own gullibility.

Same here, bro :punch:

 

[DontTouchMyHoHos]

No reason to buy it. They haven't even apologized for lying.

 

[Aleph0Null]
