@adf86: I didn't catch that, but as you say, a game release being deemed worthy of featuring on BBC news is pretty crazy!

I Pre-ordered it digitally and instantly regretted it. Been waiting over 24hrs for a reply to issue me a refund

It's too big a risk to buy digitally so I'll hold out and buy a physical copy soon.

@daveofduncan: Sorry to hear that mate, hope it gets sorted for you. The most I would probably spend on a digital game be £30 and it would have to be on a game I know I would probably enjoy.

I've put in my first 2 hours of the game and I'll give you some impressions. First planet was quite the icy one, lots of low temperatures to keep track off. The objectives were reasonably told to me on what I needed to do, only major complaint so far is inventory slots for your suits seem to be on the low side, so I STRONGLY recommend that you only pick up resources that you need. Also shifting resources from one inventory to another is a bit awkward. Performance wise it's been really solid, though I should stress that I haven't tasted combat or storms, only graphical issue the odd texture pop ins and artifacting by the procedural generation, though that could be improved later when temporal AA is added. So far impressions are really good, it's clearly a game all about discovery and leaving my first planet to head to an unusually shaped space station was quite the thrill. The game will be quite slow early on due the lack of resources at your disposal.

@adf86: That's also because it means the big breakthrough of a British developer of course. On this side of the North Sea it isn't that big of a deal. But just wait until Dutch developer Guerilla Games releases their next, that'll probably make the news.

That won't be much of an issue as it will be patched on Day 1, if I recall correctly.

I was excited for this game but after watching Sean play it on Twitch it has defintaly reduced my desire to buy the game. Think I will wait to see what patches they put out in the future and revisit it in 6 months time. Shame because I was really looking forward to this game.

@adf86: yeah like kid said, they're upgrading the inventory by 5x I believe. Sounds like a lot.

Thanks for the impressions though. I got the digital for £43 which is only £2 off retail. Been waiting for over 48hrs now to hear back from Sony about it... Very poor service so far I've gotta admit!

I won't be downloading the game though as it'll void my refund. Looking forward to giving it a bash. I love how we all start on our own unique planet

@daveofduncan: I played it with the patch, there's 12 slots for your exosuit. Though no doubt I just need to upgrade it, which I think was what the patch meant in terms of max size.

From what I've seen on NicheGamer peeps seem to be pretty down on it, though I'm really not surprised the guys over there weren't impressed as far as the community goes.

When I started playing it last night I wasn't really feeling it but as I've dug into it more today I've really been enjoying myself. But I ran into an issue where I missed the Dark Matter blueprint. I spent the day exploring planets of a start system and when it was time to leave I realized I couldn't as I had bought a new ship with an empty warp drive. So long story short I have to start over. I'd advise everyone to grab that blueprint asap.

Does anyone know if you can avoid the starter ship and extra money that you get with the digital pre-order? I only pre-ordered so I can have it downloaded in time for when I finish work but I don't want those extras as I think they'll take away from the opening experience, I want to have to work for my ship and money so can I avoid installing that stuff basically?

The first time I tired to play the game it crashed right away. I tried it again and it crashed again... The 3rd time was the charm and I haven't had a problem since.

I haven't played it yet, but when I picked it up in the supermarket, the lady who served me said, "This must be some game. People have been ringing up about it all day asking when it's out, and how much it is. We've sold loads".

I guess what I'm saying is that it's only just hit me just how big No Man's Sky is.

Played a lot yesterday, like it quite a lot so far. It feels that you have to approach it like you would Hohokum.... weird comparison but you have to approach it with curiosity and lots of "chill". A nice change of pace from all the action packed adrenaline rides on rails that we see so often.

Can we stop using the word "chill", it's putting me right off buying it haha.

It sounds a lot like I thought it would be.. I'm still interested because I quite like er.."chill" games. But I'm just really glad I didn't get super excited about it.

I'll probably pick it up on Friday.

@get2sammyb: See that's exactly how I felt for the first two or three hours after it unlocked at midnight here. But I've been playing it a lot today and I must say its got me pretty hooked.

@kyleforrester87: For sure. My expectations were about aslow as they could get before the release, but after digging into it a bit I was pleasantly surprised.

@ekreig: Are you trying to link a specific tweet?

@thatguyEZ: Sounds good. If the atmosphere gels with me it'll go a long way toward keeping me interested. It also sounds like the game can/will be made more interesting with future updates.

Hopefully we'll have some reviews before the end of the week.

I would get it digital since it's a fairly small game but in this instance I'll be buying physical just in case it is a quick trade in.

@thatguyEZ: I thought it was a combination of tweets - all about having his review cyber attacked after stating rge game was worth a 'Mediocre 5/10' score. Having read his review, I must say that its exactly what I expected and what I have witnessed. Whether I would whole heartedly agree after spending time with the game, I don't know but I can't say his review was a surprise to me...

A pessimist is just an optimist with experience!

Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??

Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...
