No Man's Sky getting SLAMMED with 2,000+ negative reviews an hour after release! (16,000+ now!)

game is good...price tag is unethical

so kids what did we learned from this today? Don`t pre-order overhyped shit

One thing I find amusing is how many of these "reviews" are someones first review. Before this have they never been able to find the time to write a review about a game they liked or have they never found a game they liked?

Why wouldn't it be fair? You pay for it, test it for less than 2 hours and if it sucks during that you review and refund. Works fine for me.

If you bought this game just because of the overhype then know that this game has been developed for a really long time and was promised to be multiplayer game - which it also says on Steam users tag. However, one day before release they changed the developer marked tags from Multi-player to Single-player. That's what I call bullshitting the buyers!

Without multiplayer option there's not much to do in that game, collect stuff, trade it for currency, collect more stuff to get more currency. Get to the center of the universe and that's it. Of course it's an exploration simulator and people tend to forget about it.

I would compare this game to Spore, which was the first of a kind - same technique that is used in No Man's Sky and Spore was made in 2008. In Spore, however, you develop your own species before starting to explore and conquer the space - here, you just explore and rename stuff. Both games are singleplayer, now multiplayer with that procedural generation would be a damn achievement. And without it, just a lame Spore-like game (Spore was a damn success in 2008) with a price tag of AAA-game.

Oh and don't forget that the developers didn't make this game compatible with Intel cards. It's not supported. I mean what the actual ... You make a game for 60€ and not make it available for everyone on PC. And first time trying to play it crashes most of the computers for different reasons. Real good job there! Development 5/7.

Definitely not gonna buy it for 60€. Hell, max I'd pay for it would be between 20 - 25. Gonna wait and see retail shops for cheaper option.

It's fair, since they lied, they hyped it up. They have massive performance issues, they're asking full price. They're lacking content, they've shown false gameplay footage. And the list goes on and on. This is Spore 2. No one has ever asked for it.
They wanted to even cancel due to a fire. They for some reason didn't.

If it's not playable, don't release it. Do some more optimization for a week or so at least. People can wait(they'll hate it, but not as much as your unplayable game).

PC version plays fine for me. Ever think to check CPU parking?

Well the positive reviews are taking over. From 30 to 55%

It's fair enough. You release something to the public. The public gives their opinion on it. I don't see any problem.

Working fine here & enjoying it.

For those who dont know. The community solved the crashing issue on Reddit. Its an SSE4.1 issue. It has happened with The Phantom Pain and Earth defense force recently as well. So hopefully Hello Games hears about it and finds a fix.

$60 for a game that doesn't work properly for some people and when it does work properly, has somewhat niche appeal. No thanks.

I read a lot of disappointed reviews. From peepz who over-hyped the game themselves and expect it to be that good....
Apparently Crashes & bugs everywhere. So hopefully they get that right and I think it'll be alright.

Up to more than 10K negative. Can't be THAT bad. Can it?

Dayum 3k more negs since I last saw yer thread. Games really should be finished before you sell them, you know like they used to all you had to do was buy the game and you got all the content for it but now you're lucky if it's finished. PC ports are tough people have a lot of different set-ups so there is more to do but that's no excuse if you're gonna sell it make sure it works. I really do hope the NMS team can turn this around and fix it for everybody interested.

i think its fair a game to get slammed like this when they charge $60 and dont even have the game tested or fixed before release even after several delays,most people cant even start the game let alone play it,i have a beast of a machine(can see specs in my steam profile) i had to turn off FXAA vsync and uncap the max fps and drop most settings to med for the game to even run a fairly stable 30fps and lets me honest the game graphics are not that great,that said i would not give the game a bad review it is fun to play if you are lucky enough to be able to run it but i would advise against buying it until its fixed.

for me it runs.....but as expected I find it more or less boring...

I've put in 12 hours so far, and had one crash to desktop, and one tune where I lagged so bad I had to restart the game. I still get random frame drops here and there. Sucks to downvote a game cuz you can't run it, but it's definitely warranted. Most people won't change their review vote after the issues are resolved, so it won't necessarily be an accurate score when (if) that happens.

Can't believe so many people pre-ordered a shallow "indie" game for 60€/$

Never jump on the hype train.

I love how people are still trying to defend a developer that released a broken game for $60. (not to mention pretty shitty, but that's a story for another time)

i5-4690K w/ GTX 970, running on 1080p, other settings maxed out. No problems so far.

If you are having performance issues that make the game unplayable then how would one review the content? It sounds like the hate is deserved. People are getting tired of spending their hard earned money on crap games. I don't blame them for the negative reviews as long as they're valid.
