Honestly don't understand how this survived that launch. It's a miracle
Gaming No Man's Sky | 25th May New FREE Update: Leviathan
- Thread starter PlayerOne
- Start date
@Shark & @ArmandTamzarian - Thanks lads, I'll jump back in when i get a chance during the week.
It’s purely down to the developers hard work, I’m not sure if they sleep. They’ve been a credit to the industry.
Been playing again for the first time in about 18 months, and it's back to being addictive. They've added a lot of good stuff.
VR is coming to NMS. This was the game I was waiting for to invest. 
This worth trying?. Can you play with others?

Free PSVR update, on top of the coming online multiplayer update, on top of all the updates they've already done. These guys were slaughtered at launch but fair play to them for their ongoing support. If there's anything that could get me into the game again, it's playing all of it in VR. It's probably the one thing I wanted the most in this game.
As far as I'm concerned, they've more than made up for their initial broken promises.
While that's true, it should have been how the game launched. So many rushed titles these days it really ruins great potential games. I doubt 10% of the people who bought it originally will still play it.
I wish studios/publishers would stop forcing games out early when it's clearly nowhere near ready or at it's full potential. Patches to fix things later isn't the answer.
Yes you can, they’re also completely enhancing the multiplayer in this major update.
Is there a large grind?
Only if you're into the base building side of things and want to upgrade your ship, suit ect. If you choose not to, you can completely ignore the resource gathering element and concentrate on exploration. It really is a wonderful game these days for just that, this game is made for VR.

I'm finally interested in it for VR. Seems tailor made for that.
The Beyond update, which includes full VR support among pretty much hundreds of other features is launching today. Update will be available for download at some point.

It sounds like it could be awesome, but is it really?
All hands-on previews I've seen or read were very positive, saying the sense of scale makes it an essential VR title. I have a PSVR at home and No Man's Sky sitting in my library so I can't wait to find out.
Bump thread with VR impressions please. Can't play until this evening...
Haven't bought a PSVR headset set, but this is the game that will have me buy it if impressions are good.
So I've not followed this game at all since its release... Is this now a completely different game to the one that was crucified when it was launched?
Pretty much yes. Everything they promised is now in the game.
Yes and no, I would say. If you didn't enjoy the main gameplay loop of going system to system, exploring planets and mining stuff to craft a bunch of other stuff, I think you're still not going to enjoy the game. But it's far more feature-rich, including online multiplayer with missions, improvements to base-building (itself added in one of the earlier updates) and loads of qualiy-of-life changes. The same gameplay loop as in the original release is still there but all of these additional features give it more purpose.
Anyone play this? Been considering getting it for a while, especially in light of all the updates. I kind of get the impression it's more fun to play with mates though?
Right so I posted around for an hour or so in VR last night.... Graphics are rough. Anyone who had a PSVR will know what I mean. The VR implementation itself is top notch. Controls are fine, UI is good. If you want to know whether the VR version is good enough, it is that....
Taking off, leaving the atmospherea etc in VR is as great as you'd expect. But don't be expecting Farpoint graphics, and Blood and Truth gunplay. This is still NMS.
Great game to amble around in while half baked....

Just picked this up for £20 on Kinguin. Looks pretty cool so far. Wanted to drop in on a multiplayer session though but there didn't seem to be any in the list. Is that normal? I assumed there's be loads.
I've read enough posts like this one and watched enough videos to decide I'll probably wait until either I get a high end PC/or PS5 to jump into VR. A game like this should really be blowing people away in VR, but it just doesn't seem to be there yet?
No it's blowing people away. Try it it's only 16 quid at the moment. The VR is next level.... believe me. But.....
It's still NMS so not for everyone,
And the shortcomings are that much more obvious in the face of what we have and the possibilities...
Apparently there's no pro patch yet, and they are patching it frequently. I love it though, after playing with it further.
Tip: DS4 for vehicles and Moves for everything else.
Yeah I have the game and really like it, it’s the PSVR that I’ll need to invest in and I’ve only the base PS4. So it’s worth investing then? They’re currently going at €160 2nd hand, at Gamestop.
I'm always gonna say yes.... best gaming purchase since ps1 (for me). Ask around though....
Really interested in the VR, but I’d be getting in on PC. Trouble is I don’t want to have to remortgage my house to buy one of the better pc VR headsets (my eyesight is shite and I personally don’t want to bother with low res VR).
Well res is gonna be low across the board with these headsets so maybe try them out? Won't be seeing high res VR for a few years.
Valve Index and Vive Pro seem to be at the top of the pile though. A grand give or take...
(audio on)Those Destiny raids back in the day would have been crazy in VR. Those jumping puzzles
They really nailed the Move controls in VR. Opening a holographic menu on your left wrist and then pointing at the different options with your right controller just feels so perfectly sci-fi. It turns inventory management, usually one of the most tedious things in video games, into something that feels completely natural.
Ugh. Going up against Crota would have been great though.Those Destiny raids back in the day would have been crazy in VR. Those jumping puzzles
Sounds cool but heard there's no option to change it so it is the other way around for those who are left handed. Hopefully they'll implement that at some point.
Yeah that’s the thing, I don’t feel like forking out for something the price of a gaming PC, especially as there aren’t any other titles on VR that excite me.
Maybe when/if Star Citizen is eventually released.
I have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm supposed to do in this game.
Have been interested in this game for ages but have yet to buy it - might actually get it once i get paid if it's well discounted.
I believe it’s currently 50% off on steam. Not sure if its the same for PS4.
did this ever redeem itself or is it still an overhyped pile of shite?
Have you fixed your ship, or are you just generally stuck for things to do?
I just literally meander from place to place doing whatever I feel like. I have a few quests on the go but honestly the free form nature of this game lends itself well to VR. I do wonder how impressed I'd be if I only played it in normal mode... Who knows...
Think I've already said it, but playing this baked with Spotify going is bliss. Shame I don't have more time...
I hear ya. If you have a PS4 just grab PSVR, play all the good stuff and then sell it.... Hell of a lot more affordable (not as good obv) and good enough for now, imo.
