What I meant is that it would be a great game for $20-$30, at $60, not at all.
Got a tip for us?

I understood what you meant. I was stating the game brand new is only selling for half the MSRP on eBay.
That's my hope as well. IT was their fault that they over hyped the game and under delivered.
Oddly enough, I bought the game on launch day, and I got pretty much exactly what I expected. I never thought it would be more than what it is right now.
I guess I can somewhat understand the whole multiplayer thing. They always said that it would be very unlikely you would ever run into another player, but that it was theoretically possible. Now it turns out it is not possible. But to me, there is only a very small step from "very likely never going to happen" to "not going to happen". No big deal. If I had wanted a game where I can interact with other players, I would have bought a different game, even based on their early promises.

O I C...
Yeah, just last week Gamestop was giving $30 credit for used copy, now they're only giving $16.50.
I missed that GOG sale - must have been over last weekend and I work weekends...
Hoping for that price over this Labor Day Weekend on Steam's sale...
Supposedly a new patch made it studder less on PC's (maybe they spread the procedural generation routine over a wider timeframe?).
Yeah same here. I don't feel miss sold or care about multiplayer or lack of. Never expected multiplayer. Don't get the negativity been attracted here to be frank.
This title has to be the biggest hype I've EVER seen....
I wanted to originally get the Limited Edition, but was "sold out" immediately. Such a collectible for such a great game! You can still get the regular version before it sells out!
Low and behold, now there's a huge restock at Amazon and Gamestop on September 5...

Really?
The negativity will pass when all the patches so that it runs well are out and the game is going for $30 retail and $25 used - the price it was supposed to be in the first place.
I'll definitely get a Steam copy for $20 at around their holiday sale...
Now, I do agree with you about the multiplayer. I am more of a single player gamer myself. But I do understand the negativity towards the promised features in the multiplayer aspect for the game. As I stated before, the developer should have made it clear what his intentions were with the game, either when the game was released or after future updates when applied.
Is the game repetitive, yes. Is the game new and exciting, somewhat. But overall. I really do feel this game is for someone who truly appreciates this type of genre. I definitely don't think this game would appease to the masses of the younger crowd, more so, because they are wanting an adrenaline rush, when this game will not deliver that in this respect.
Ditto, actually I don't even like multiplayer games and avoid them. I'm a laid back enthusiast, not a hard core gamer, and dealing with those folks tend to lower my enjoyment of a given game, i.e., I don't last long in multiplayer games.
That's why I was so disappointed in star wars battlefront, it's so incredibly weak on the single player side that there was virtually nothing to do.
I don't think you will, you seem mostly negative towards the game, I understand you don't like the price point, and the level of hype (which is something I tried to avoid to keep my expectations in check), but from this thread you seem to go out of your way to highlight the negatives.
Don't me wrong, I have no problem with someone posting negative opinions on a product, I may (or may not) agree with them, but I do respect your opinion However given what you post, I'll be surprised if you buy it at all, especially during the holidays when other newer games will be out and on sale thanks to Christmas.
So, I played No Mans Sky last night and realized how fast three hours went by. I actually thought my clock was wrong! I didn't realize how far I strayed away from my ship. It took me almost 30 minutes to get back. A quick save feature would have been useful in the least.
Anyways, really enjoying the game so far. No crashes yet with the current update.
Of all the games, I've played this one seems to cause me to lose touch with time. I've done the same thing, play so long without realizing that the whole day came and went
I will eventually buy.
I love and collect space games. Good or bad.
The bad ones I have I bought on Steam I got for less than $5.
The "bad ones" I've bought around $1 are no longer "that bad"...
I'm giving it a rest for now, I feel like I'm going to the same planet over and over with just a different color. My first galaxy was just plane awesome but now I'm getting the same thing...think I'll wait for the big patch that will add freight purchasing.

That's what I mean. You load it up for a quick go and them found you've lost a couple of hours.Two hours is quick? I played for three hours and It felt like three minutes, it must of been the Hyper Drive
Got my first crashed ship exchange and then realised after swapping I did not have the past needed to fix it so spent ages solving that.
I only came across one crashed ship in my journeys and it was smaller then my existing ship, so I passed on it.
I've hit the highest milestone for walking, so its not like I'm not exploring the various planets. I've been stuck in a mode, if you will, of landing on hostile environment planets. Most of the systems I've been going too, seem to be too hot, cold, or radioactive. I'll probably veer off the atlas quest and go more open at this point, its not something that seems worthwhile to keep doing, so I'll poke around and see what else I can find.
Just bought a copy of the Limited Edition PS4 off eBay from actually someone in the area - Mint Complete for $40...
Great deal. Now only if I had kept my PS4 - but the NEO announcement is on Wed...
Let us know what you think when you play it. My guess is the Neo won't be released until November, before the Holiday season arrives. Are you going to hold out that long before purchasing a new PS4?
Big day Wednesday, Apple's Keynote and Sony's Keynote.
Yes, a big Wednesday.
I don't really know - I already lost $200 selling off my PS4. Now is would be up to 5 games (all exclusives) I would be playing on it though.
I would just be happy to get a slim, but for an extra $100 maybe just future-proof and go with the NEO (if it has a UHD BR Drive). Plus a NEO would greatly help NMS with framerates and processing.
Plus, I'm getting the bill for all those computer parts I've been buying...
I do know someone who loves NMS and showed him the Ultimate Edition with the ship model. He so wants it but won't be using the PC Download. Maybe I can get that for a deal ($15?) and it would help pay for his model.
We'll see after Wed...
I'll upgrade to Neo. I assume they will do a Gamestop trade in deal to bring down the cost somewhat.

Why did you sell your PS4 to begin with? I did notice No Mans Sky can look grainy when flying low over a planet.
What does the Ultimate Edition offer for No Mans Sky?
At the time, Gamestop was giving $200 cash, I was only playing 3 games on it (Ratchet & Clank, Killzone, and Planetside 2), and I wanted to get a GPU card for my newly built Console PC.
No Mans Sky Explorers (sorry) Edition (comes with PC download code for Steam or GOG), $150:
http://store.iam8bit.com/products/no-mans-sky-explorers-edition
WOW - the game was adult-owned and is in essentially unused condition! What a great deal!
Now, what to do as far as a PS4... or just try to get a PC download?
You were right on the PS4 Pro (Neo)...
Maybe get a used PS4 again just to try the game (I could take the system back within 7 days at Gamestop if I don't really like the game - though I hate when people do that).
Or just bite the bullet and get a PS4 (Slim).
Or hold out for a PS4 Pro but I have that distinct feeling that it is going to be a MAJOR FIASCO trying to get one just like the original PS4 was (I ended up waiting until March when I could just walk into a store and they had them).
