I bought No Man Sky when it first launches. I wasn’t a fan of it so I uninstalled until last night. I recently ran out of good games to play so I was browsing my library and saw no man and remembered the Cinderella comeback I read about.

I installed the game at 4 pm yesterday and started to play. I was blown away at how much smother the game seems to unfold and how well the main story teaches you about all the systems in the game. I was having so much fun building a base and upgrading my star ship.

After getting to a new part of the story looking for Artemis I looked at the time and it was God damn 2 am!!! I had to go to sleep and wake up at 6 am for work!

It’s been a long time since a game hypnotized me like this in a long time. Hopefully my journey will continue to be this entertaining! See you all in space! Named Toadz on PC if anyone runs into me.

Finished Subnautica Below Zero yesterday and me and my friend were quite disappointed with it after the amazing original. Decided to get No Man’s Sky after watching the famous video about it.

I am just building my base (on the 2nd planet where it gives you the building tutorial) after returning from the first space station, have this feeling at the back of my mind how the game will turn into an rng grind (maybe I misinterpreted all the vendors and npcs at the station but it felt like all of them had rng stuff for sale with hidden stats until you open it).

But then outta fucking nowhere a HUGE ASS LEVIATHAN DRAGON WORM THING bursts out of the ground, hoops over my base and digs back in like nobody’s business.

WHAT THE FUCK?!? THIS GAME IS GONNA BE SO GOOD.

Me: yeah, I kinda just…do shit. I mean, there’s a story and some quests but the game pl-

Edit: Holy shit everyone, thank you so much for the awards! This community is amazing. Thank you so much.

Preface this by saying I’m a noob and playing on psvr2. Seems like every little expedition mission I need to do is this long drawn out chore. Need to build windows. Ok I don’t have the stuff to make glass. Gotta figure out how to go through the menus to figure out what I need. Then I gotta find the thing I need in the journal and tell it to tell me where to get it. Then I go to the place and find out I need a hazmat gauntlet. So I have to do back to base to refine materials for that. And on and on and on.

I spent at least an hour trying to find the airless planet but eventually I found one. Now I have to find a outlaw system. I go and research and get a trade scanner. Nothing under the trade section from the planets I’ve seen in galaxy map indicates outlaw system? So now I’m just randomly warping to whatever the green line is pointing to hoping I’ll get multiple options and one of them will look outlaw like?

Where is the guide that tells me what the various system symbols mean?

People saying this expedition takes like 6-10 hours or less… Lies. I got kids man.
