Eleven Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) LOL. I want a link to that original reddit thread.

deanb Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I can't believe kooky would force the game to be delayed. It is interesting, it was due out in 3 weeks. I'd be curious to know why the sudden n massive delay. There was speculation on a networking bug but I'd think they'd state that. I wonder if give all the "so what do you do?" questionX they've figured they should maybe add something of substance maybe, or forced to by Sony. It's currently the indie jewel in their crown and won't look good look for theme if it falls flat. The hype this game is getting is rather insane, and vile as the sub reddit shows.

deanb Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 https://imgur.com/gallery/DJfLe Some No Mans Sky concept art stuff. While I'm only middling in eyeing up this game, I'm glad to have some cool images to freshen up my wallpapers with. The pastel tones help a lot I think. (Also I've just noticed my tablet decided I was writing "kooky" and I'm wondering about all the weird auto-correct typos that'll be spread over the web from this weekend. I really need to pull finger out butt n sort the keyboard out on that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Sounds like a last minute bump in the road. http://www.pcgamer.com/company-claims-no-mans-sky-uses-its-patented-equation-without-permission/ Seems like a legit complaint prima facie, but my cynical side says that the timing is done to cause max damage and get an unfairly high payout.

TheMightyEthan Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 My initial (non-patent-lawyer) thought is that it doesn't seem like you should be able to patent an equation that's just describing things found in nature. Imagine if the Standard Model were patented, or Relativity. That said, IP law is ridiculous and stupid, so you probably can patent it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 The patent is for the application of the formula, not the formula itself. Patent law is indeed ridiculous, no idea if this has legs or not. Hope it doesn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Well yeah, but the application essentially boils down to "a patent on using this formula". That would be like if somebody patented the "application of using Newton's Laws of Motion for calculating the movement of physical objects in simulated computer environments". You know what, actually... *runs to patent office* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. GOH! Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 The way I see it, this will make a great game to buy when it's inevitably discounted for the Steam holiday sale. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) So some fool got the game early for the PS4. For $2k. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4OChfGvYsA One person put it as: Subnautica in Space. This might be good... but is it $60 good?

deanb Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 You know if you're gonna put up a copy of your [stolen\grey market\fradualent\whatever term folks use for "unauthorised game sales" these days] video of No Mans Sky up on Youtube with an alternative name to hide that it's No Mans Sky I'd maybe go all out. Call it "Red Dwarf: Rimmers Zimmer Swimmer" or something. Anywho will give this a watch in a bit. Or I guess sooner than later cos that name ain't fooling anyone and I'll likely find it goes all static midway through and F5 replaces it with "This video has been removed by Sony Computer Entertainment" or something. edit: So my first thoughts are this guy sucks at sound balancing Heh, being chased by a pineapple. I wonder if it starts you off on a fairly hostile planet to force you to go n get into the upgrading/collecting/building stuff early on before you can nip off and go space flying.

deanb Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Well, No Mans Sky has been beaten. Took about 2 days to do. The NMS Subreddit is going nuts. I'll happily grab this in a sale some point, but certainly nowhere near the "pinning all their life hopes and dreams onto the game". Saw a pretty good point someone made that it's a largely indie game with AAA marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 You say two days but it was ~30 hours of grinding it out by the guy. The guy also found a money/currency making exploit(?) to do it all faster. Thirty hours is about fair for this type of game. I'm shielding myself from most things so I don't know how much more can you do so playtime could extend towards a 100 hours or more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 He's said he regrets the use of the word "exploit" and in line with it he reckons the "exploit"/"confusing design choice" would get you to the centre in about 12 hours. I imagine if he was to start afresh he could do that, given won't have the many hours of figuring out systems on top of that. He also reckons he's fully levelled up and mates with everyone too. And I'd agree 30 hours is sorta okay especially given it's essentially an indie game with a crap ton of procedural stuff so not like any quests or such to extend shit. Though far from the hundreds of hours postulated by Sean Murray to get to the centre. I suspect they likely haven't had any outsiders testing the game to end up with folks playing it outside of how Hello Games expect it to be played.

danielpholt Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm not sure the internet is going to survive a 30 days stretch whereby We Happy Few comes out and disappoints, and No Mans Sky turns out to be the game we all feared expected it to be. So has NMS turned the corner. Are we as a collective now expecting it to be a total let down. Does that mean if it's incredible it'll come as a surprise?

Thursday Next Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Could not care any less how long it takes someone else to grind to a finish in this game. I just want to get a piece of junk ship and explore a galaxy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
