Firstly I just want to make it clear I am *not* accusing Hello Games of any devious intent here, I consider them absolutely one of the good guys of the gaming industry with the level of support they have given the game over the years!

However…. there is something about this game that I just cannot put my finger on. I will mindlessly grind for hours on end achieving absolutely nothing, feel angry with myself about it (to the extent I have deleted the game multiple times) then go back for more the very next day.

It’s like I have the desire to find the perfect ship, but then there is nothing to do with it other than the few random encounters that are the same wherever you might encounter them. Or I will look for the perfect Capital ship and accumulate a fleet of 30 living frigates only to then send them on missions to retrieve a trivial amount of resources that I didn’t need in the first place. Or I will system jump for hours at a time looking for a perfect planet, convincing myself that it’s not a waste of time because I can also check the Space Station for multitools while I am at it (see, killing 2 birds with 1 stone, totally not a waste of time!).

Seriously I don’t want to sound like I am hating on the game, I think they have done a fantastic job – but something about it has triggered an extremely bitter-sweet response in me. Maybe I have some type of undiagnosed condition like OCD or something that this game taps into…

Anyone else feel the same way?

Coming into No Mans Sky from the wonderful universe of Elite Dangerous, I’d never heard much good(any, really) about NMS. And i’d like to preface this with a Dont Get Me Wrong I Love Elite.

But holy freakin crap is this game a nice change of pace. Do yall know what i had to do to get a fleet carrier in elite dangerous?! Christ on a pancake. I got a little A-class freighter for free in NMS at my third system in my first playthrough. You know what i got in my third system in Elite Dangerous? TRAUMA.

Landing on planets and being able to interact with the terrain, however buggy and simplistic and perhaps not as dynamic as we’d like, is quite simply mindblowing.

And can i just say what a DELIGHT it is to hop around these galaxies??!! Im in a crappy little fighter with a SEVEN HUNDRED LIGHT YEAR JUMP RANGE. AND IT DOESNT HAVE TO CHARGE FOR 15 FRICKIN MINUTES.

Honestly. Great game. Glad to be here. Thanks for having me.

Oh and can i say just how freaking lovely it is to run into other players on a regular basis who want to wave and say hi, instead of blow up my ship to satisfy some inner sociopathic tendencies.

Thanks Hello Games.
