No Man's Sky: Desolation Update Adds New Playable Environments

Reminds me of Red Dwarf in a weird way. I need to update my game, had this at at launch and its such a different game now.

Still no new fauna, meh, not interested until they update the animals

Looks nice and atmospheric.

This just makes me more excited for the 'space legs' update in Elite Dangerous.

Haven't played this in quite a while. The constant need to construct A, which needs B and C, which needs E, F, and G, which need... got a bit tedious and spoiled an otherwise entertaining game.

Sure, they introduced an 'easy mode' where you didn't need to do that, but using that disables the trophies; I don't really see that removing tedious, repetitive tasks which require only time and no skill is justification for doing so.

This sounds cool. I’ve been meaning to dust this off and start a new play through with psvr and PlayStation move controllers. I played through once without psvr and played some in from time to time but the grind has kept me from getting pulled back in. I wish there was a mode to just be a space pirate without having all the grind.

I'll try this out... after I'm Done with Ghost of Tsushima. I've already Platinumed NMS so no rush.

The continued support for this game is incredible. They could easily have given up and moved on. I've been thinking about going back to this recently. It'll probably be what I focus on after Ghost of Tsushima.

One thing I would love to see though is an easier mode that doesn't restrict all the trophies. I've put over 100 hours into the game, but dipping back in does feel a little daunting.

This is exciting, reminds me of exploring abandoned vessels on the first Mass Effect.

I have No Mans Sky and played a few hours but I find the grindy mining too slow - loved the exploration and atmosphere and the soundtrack is awesome.

Wow. Just wow. This game never freaking quits does it? More free content?? Playing this game in VR was a moment I'll never forget.

nice i guess. they keep support game over years.. unlike EA/Bioware [ME:Andromeda]

Grind central. So.much.grind. and faffing about with power for bases was the last straw for me. Got plenty of play out of it, but no desire to throw another load of hours into grinding materials

The game runs pretty badly when you build bases so gave up on it.

Still the game without a clear goal.

I am amazed how a game that was so poorly receive, mostly because of the lies of its creators, trailers and AAA pricing, managed to turn the table, make itself great (from what i've heard) and keep improving.

@YeoSprings As much as I do respect the effort the poured in improving the game to live up to preorder victim's expectation, they still released an overpriced turd. So they also need to learn from so many developers and avoid selling BS at full price and release a half baked game with a severe case of "meh, we'll fix it later if players aren't happy"

Would play often if couch co-op was an option. Sadly that is almost nonexistent in games these days.

Ok, so I'm going to come clean. I have over 800 hours in NMS on PC. Almost all of it in VR. In the real world I have been in a wheelchair for the last 20 years but I put on the head set and explore strange world's with the freedom to run jump and fly where I please... It is my escape.

@MarcG420 it’s fantastic in vr with the moves I’ve been sucked into two PSVR play throughs and loved it , the sense of scale and ownerships and pride of the ships is next level . Though I can agree with the whole build this hand holding takes after to long to dismiss

@TooBarFoo that’s amazing , what a great playground to escape to , kudos to you for the length of those plays

@skaarj217 for me that’s the joy , the best stories are the ones we create in our minds And this game gives us the ability to do so

I love this game. I just wish they'd patch the Pro version to make the VR look cleaner.

@Dange ive put in over 2500 so far.......

How are they making their money to support all this development and run the servers!

To make an easy mode and disable trophies is stupid why can't gamers just play a game how they want wether or not they didn't use the harder long grinder way. I hate games that do that forced to play a game on the hardest difficulty etc just let me play a game how I want to and do what Days Gone etc did New Game + as separate lists

@Unffclcntrllerpd yeah it’s very immersive with just the psvr so I was assuming with the moves it’s just that much better. Actual throttle and handle to get out of the spaceship etc...

@Nakatomi_Uk There isn't an easy mode, Creative Mode is pretty much God Mode so having you being able to earn Trophies would defeat the purpose of the Trophies as you would be able to bypass any work into getting them. You don't need to play on the hardest mode at all to Platinum it, Normal Mode is very forgiving and the grinding has been greatly reduced with everything being more rewarding now and taking less time. Honestly sounds to me like you suck at difficult games and want them to cater to your needs, if you want the Trophies then earn them as that's the entire idea of them.

@gibbleking My point was not how long I've played as who cares, it was that I've played plenty but it's still a little overwhelming.

@Dange i have that problem with destiny 2,id like to get back into the game but the amount of stuff they throw at you just makes my brain melt..

@WallyWest I actually dont suck at difficult games I choose not to play them because of stress levels that that make. I don't care for trophies that much I have a few games where continued to play and couldn't be bothered with them I was at first going for them all to get my monies worth of the game when they first came out. Now I can easily finish a game and leave it I misread the comment that's all as I am interested in NMS but on PC

@MarcG420 those are the bits that really ground you in the world , Initially the move wands make you feel like you have less control in flight but stick with it and you’ll be pulling of some incredible feats that I haven’t been able to replicate with the dual shock

Since I started playing it in VR, i can't go back to flat, it's amazing. I have started again because my whispering egg mission was bugged for some reason. Glad you are enjoying it as much, great comment.
