How No Mans Sky Has ACHIEVED THE IMPOSSIBLE!! 

After 20 years of hard drinking ,no mans sky helped me quit alcohol, i realised i couldn't play it drunk so the game won . Thankyou hello games❤

I was one of the folks who bought it and then returned it. Jumped back in during free play weekend and the difference is night and day. Bought the game and in two weeks have sank 80 hours into it.

Have you ever noticed that the closer you get to an earthlike planet, the freakier the mobs get? I could never settle down in this game becausa of that.

I also took up NMS for the first time after Starfield I mean, Starfield was ok, but the exploration aspect is totally meh in my opinion. I saw people in comments recommending NMS and thought I'd give it a try. I absolutely love it. One of the things I really like is the variety of things you can do. Feel like just randomly exploring and finding amazing planets, you can do that. Bored with that for a while? then you can get into base building. Or managing a fleet of frigates from your freighter. Or doing missions from the nexus. I'm in base building mode at the moment - I wish the build interface was a little easier to use but I'm loving it.

Thanks for this! I’ve played over 1k hours on nms since 2016. It’s a game I come back to. With this recent expedition. I finally. FINALLY. Talked friends into playing the game with me. I have some hold out players. This video was what I was trying to explain. Much love for this!

I bought the game on launch for the PS4. I didnt preorder it so I had to search for it. Went to 10 differnt stores that sold games where I live and finally found the final copy the local Best Buy had. The clerk spent 30 minutes going through the store and storage before finding the last copy at the returns counter. I played for close to 8 hours before making it off the first planet (I got lost in a cave), spent a few more hours venturing into the next system before deciding that the game wasn't for me. I loved the exploration aspect but the rest felt very lacking so I shelved it. After Starfield came out a whatched a steamer play NMS to compare the 2 and I saw the difference the all those patches made so I started playing again. Now I'm 700 hours into thr game and am having a blast scrounging for that perfect Sentinel ship, fighting space pirates and building bases.

Arrived in 2019, spent first few days trying to figure out how to fly. What a hoot. 4.5k hours later still enjoying it, especially the newest patch. Still reminds me of opening moments of 2001, a Space Odyssey, especially as I head down the trenches to kill freighters. Great game, looking forward to LNF. It's the replayability in the NMS sandbox that stands out. There's so much more to the game than most ever see and an excellent steam community to get help from Nice vid. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together. Cheers.

knowing how theyve handled no mans sky, im really excited for light no fire!

Day 1 player and long time fan of the game and the dev team, I have 400 hours on my current PC game save alone (which I started just before the Origins update), probably more than 1k over all my versions (I have all but Switch, I played also on VR and Steam Deck a lot - actually one of my fav things is playing my save seamlessly through desktop/mobile/virtual reality, it's a dream come true). I am a gen x gamer so I started playing when I was a child in the late 80s, and I've seen my slew of games, and this definitely is a standout - top 5 material, overall

Great video of the story of NMS. I played first when Next Update came out and now I do a second save since January. Amazing game. And the most important as you said, I trust 100% Hello Games compared to all other video game companies.

Day 1, came back last year, or played very little between then and now. Really like what i see now and know this game stretches the definition of space exploration to the max.

You forgot to mention it's 100% in VR too! I bought a PSVR2 to play GT7 and was content with that alone but I saw this game always at the top of the VR sales chart. I picked it up on sale not knowing anything about it and had the best gaming experience of my life. The VR is absolutely breathtaking, first time leaving the planet at the beginning and spinning my ship around... Wow!

I fell in love multiple times with NMS. I've been exploring since launch and what I think its crazy is that whenever the game is about to get stale to me, HG comes up with another amazing update. Every. Single. Time! It's not my "main" game, but whenever it's updated I always check it out. Looking forward to what 2024 has in store for us there's still a lot of gaps in the lore I want them to resolve before putting the game on life support

Picked it up on PS5 on sale just after the Orbital update came out earlier this year. It is hands down, by far the best game I have ever played. I've played about 500 hours now over the past 3 months, including the new Adrift expedition (my first expedition) and I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface of things to do in the game. For anyone who's not yet played it but who likes the idea of a virtually limitless universe to explore, craft, build, and (most importantly) discover cool badass ships to fly - do yourselves a favour and check it out. The community is dead nice as well!

I started with Starfield, was so looking forward to that game. I did like it, but it was not completely what I was hoping for. But the main reason I got to start playing No Man's Sky, was that I was looking for games to play with my buddies. I did hear of NMS years ago, but the negative response made me not try it. But November last year, I thought I would try it. I have 523 hours now😂😂 So safe to say, I really enjoy it😉🤘 Looking forward to try LNF too though😁

I have been around since abyss and I love the game, I always come back after at most a couple months, keep it up HG

I've been playing since day one . I somehow knew that Hello Games was determined to deliver and deliver it did! What a GREAT game.

Exactly what you said happened to me. I played NMS years ago, but got bored with it (at the time). Then along comes Strarfield announcement, which wet my appetite for a great space game. Then it came out, and I was hugely disappointed. So I figured to scratch that itch, I would get back into NMS. And I was blown away by all the changes and improvements they made. It's my go-to game now until Light No Fire comes out.

I ended up picking it up when it came out on macOS because I wanted to help support Mac gaming (something that still makes a lot of people roll their eyes 😅). Now it's one of my most-played games and I've been having a blast playing it! I've only slowed down recently because of Hades II, but It's definitely a game that I'll come back to over and over again in the future!

I'm a walking adult L and play nothing but Switch. When the game dropped for Switch, I quickly picked it up. I was jobless (post covid) and before i knew it I dumped over 100 hours into the game. The wild thing is, I had absolutely ZERO clue about any patches or updates. I thought I was playing the base game the entire time, and could not figure out why the game wasn't highly praised. Then I found out about the updates, and then things clicked. But that made me appreciate the game even more knowing the Hello really put work and care into the game. I took a break after Tears of the Kingdom came out. But now that that ship sailed, I'm getting back into NMS with a new game. Cant wait for the newer updates I missed over the past year.

Respect to the company for keep bringing updates, and not releasing them as paid DLC.

Great video. Player since Foundation. Loved it then and love it still. Also hyped for Light No Fire.

I got mine less than a year ago, after noticing how often a friend was playing. It's difficult to imagine what Day 1 must have been like!

I just downloaded NMS about 2 weeks ago and i have to say i love it, this game is what im looking for with a space exploration game. I remeber hearing about it at E3 years ago, a few years later when it released I was glad i did not buy it. Thankfully one of my friends recently convinced me to get it after telling me that the game has had many updates over the years. Hands down one of the best game downloads so far this year of 2024

This game just keeps getting better and better,Sean Murray has also confirmed that nms will still be updated for years to come and that their next project won't be the end of these updates.

must admit i procrastinated on the game as i had gotten wind of starfield. but on release it was barely playable on my 8 year old PC. but i persisted. then the first big patch/update rendered unplayable. wind the clock forward to the weekend, i finally started playing No Mans Sky. im loving it and it runs quite smoothly on my old PC. the best part though, is the fact im not dragged into a story with an actual ending, which i was never interested in. and can just wander around to my hearts content WORKS for me. only regret is not picking it up sooner

Picked it up on gog, been a real good ride

What a video. Couldn't have said or written this better myself. I am in total agreement with your explanations of NMS. I purchased NMS in 2019 & gave up on it after a few days, but then, whilst streaming live on the big purple format, 1 of my followers talked me into trying NMS again & well, I am back in NMS & cannot put zee controll-herrrrrrrrrr down. I must spend at least 11-12 hours in NMS per day. Great well made & put together very entertaining video doc. Keeping this video.

I friend put me on it like 3 years ago I was like I thought that game sucked he said check it out I did and loved it

I wish no NMS and Elite Dangerous would have a baby!

I am a day one player and your video just made me download the game again lol. I liked your video.

Someone randomly gave me extra memory and a bunch of items to sell for units, plus so many salvage data just to help me out in the Space Anomaly, and now ive spent well over a 50+ hours upgrading 😅

My prediction is that no man’s sky will be the headline vr game for apples headset. And that will probably be a massive leap for vr

I bought it when it first came out and came back years later just put on the download and started playing again it’s really one of the top story game comebacks for real.

All developers need to take notes from hello games on how to keep a game alive💯

Just loaded for the first time after initial launch. Yeah i like it.

I wish they had actual ground combat with something other then sentinels. I love fps if this had a lil more of that id be in it alot more. The combat currently is just ship on ship or sentinels. Amazing game if you just want to explore and build stuff though.

Great video!

I discovered no mans sky after being disappointed with starfield lol

Now Orbital update then can create and customize the sships

I have just discovered ‘No Mans’s Sky after obtaining a PS5 upgrade. How on Earth did the developers manage to design a game with such a mind boggling number of visitable planets? This takes me back to the heady days of 1987’s ‘Starflight’ from ’Electronic Arts’. It was astonishing then with a PC from Tandy containing only 256k memory, that a game contained about 230 star systems and 800 planets; (Including Earth if you could find it). The size of the game made up for the blocky graphics and one only needed to use ones imagination to enhance the experience. ‘No Mans Sky’ is simply astounding; once you get over the lack of tutorial help, its totally absorbing and utterly enjoyable. Actually a breath of fresh air after so many ‘run and gun’ games’.

I have over 2,000 hours in no man's sky I have seen things even in the very beginning that was just amazing I guess you just had to play it a lot to see some of the coolest things that it had to offer even when it first came out

Wtf there was actual dinosaurs? Ive been to like 50 galaxys and like 400 planete all animals look the same. Never seen a dinosaur like in the beginning

1°: i wanted to say how i descovered no man's sky, so that is it: Year: 2017 i was just playing on my humble xbox 360 and then i descovered that my cousin was going to pass some days in my grandmas house. He was 17 years, and still today have his gaming pc. So i went to my grandma house, and he was playing. I asked him if i could play, and he said yes. He had over 117 games on his libery, so i asked a cool game to i test, and he showed Astroneer and, yes, you gessed it: No Man's Sky. Firstly, i didn't liked tyat much astroneer, but for me, Nms was a banger. I loved it but in the time i didin't have any way to play it, so i just watched it on youtube. So the year is 2022 and my ant buyed me a xbox series s. I just went crazy and i buy the gamepass. Little did i know that nms was in the gamepass. Some time later, i was scrolling thro the games list, and that it was: no man sky. I didn't resist and instaled the game. I was very dumb in that time so for some reason i didin't played the survival, but, some months latee i would complete expedition nine and truly start a save, also soms time later i did expedition 11 voyagers and then give up in the game. I returned in interceptor upd and give up again. So it was just some weeks ago, i was real bored and wanted smth to play. So i was looking some games to unstall and that it was (yea again saem expression but i like it), Nms i put it play and started playing again. I am very addicted to the game and recommend buying. (I didin't buy it yet but if u have da money buy it) 2°: Also i wanted to give some regonise to the Reddit community, coz there is a lot of good people there. Different to some communitys, they help you, there are even people that gives stuff like expedition ships, void eggs, stasis device and etc. There is also coordinates exchange, there are some real good stuff like S class multi tools, S class exotics, different animals and etc. Pretty cool game to say the least

If they added a better single player story it would be the full package exploration is legendary the story tho eh ya know

Day one player, put in 550 hours came back after a few updates and dropped another 150 hours in over time. Haven't played in a few years so I may need to head back into space soon! Probably have to restart the game tho, I'm sure my day one save file is probably broken lol I think that's why I stopped playing. I believe my farm (I spent ages creating) became obsolete and a few other things got buggered up and that turned me off the gane. But again, I'll definitely need to jump back into NMS and restart from the beginning.

After playing elite dangerous and starfield i was thinking well lets try No man's sky and i must say the other space games lost me xD

i preordered the game, was kinda disappointed at launch and stopped playing until the NEXT update, and i was BLOWN AWAY, i respect Hello Games a lot and still play every once in a while

Also check out empyrion galatic survival, that game has much more to offer and always constant updates, planets dont respawn resources and terrain and the modding community is one the best in gaming, more intense than NMS, im enjoying NMS because its nice and chill but it gets to the point where gets too easy, duping resources in the refiner(as intended mechanics) is game breaking

Was aware of this game 2 years ago but thought it looked 'cartoonish' besides I hate taking a chance at 60 bucks. Then waited for StarField reviews and well many people were disappointed so I kept playing New World, 7 Days to Die, Sons of the Forest and Valheim. Then a free weekend came up then 30 buck sale and a friend and I gave it a try and well fell in love with it. Lots of fun stuff to do and each planet is different. I wish the ships had customization options. This is like a simple version of ED or X4 Foundations does not take hours and hours to learn. My only regret was not buying it two years ago at full price. Now my other games are collecting dust. It reminds me of those other games but in a space environment.

trying gamivo out now!

Wait what? 😮

What is the planet coordinates for the dinosaurs please

Will they ever do multi-player on nintendo switch 😮

I have just started the game together with my girlfriend when the Omega update dropped. Only had followed the games history through media at that point. Here is my take on the game: Even though people rightfully see it as somewhat of a redemption story it's still not a good, coherent game and I don't see this reflected nearly enough in all the superficial coverage of the game that only mentions that they added x,y or z over time. We had so many game breaking bugs (as long as MP is enabled) as well as nuisances that have apparently already plagued the game 4 to six years it's unfathomable that they are still a thing in a game that receives constant updates. Not only that, but the whole concept still isn't what was eluded to all those years ago and while it has gotten a lot more features NONE of them interlink in a promising or thought through way nor are they any good most of the time. -UI and controls: Mid to garbage. The amount of clicks it often takes (regardless of the platform) to perform an action with the accuracy of a drunk toddler is something I haven't felt in a non-Beta, non-early access game ever aside from maybe ArmA? Base building and inventory management are especially egregious. -Lack of fun in space What is a developer thinking who has a running game for 8 years that is centred around space while not giving you proper joystick support nor any fun activities in space itself? Apparently nothing. The space battles are a joke. Get an S tier ship and your fights might become a little trickier, which in and of itself is just Oblivion level stupid. (When I level up I expect there to be a reward not a punishment. But nonetheless they remain soulless and void of any fun. Push S/reverse thrust to always face the enemy. Who in their right mind came up with that design decision?! These so called battles are all just: "Press S to follow and hold left click for enemy go boom" with the only variation being: "kill pirate dreadnought slightly faster by manually spamming the "change weapon" button while using at least one phaser-like weapon that deals damage in bursts". It's lame, it's boring, it's quite literally the worst space fights I have ever had in any space game no matter the genre. That is wild to me, since that would usually be the first thing that a developer would go "Oh shit, the literal core mechanic while in space isn't fun? Let's redo it.". They had 8 years for that. - The base building? Rife with problems from the bad controls to the horrendous play-ability. There just isn't any real point to them. They don't have working defense mechanics or interesting base experiences. They are just useless husks that you mostly built to eventually find the planet again that you visited. Sadly most games get bases wrong, so this is not unique to No mans sky, but it's made even made worse by the fact that freighters render those bases even more useless than they already have been. Build some freaking gameplay loops around them for crying out loud. Make them mean something. -Freighters and Frigates: Aside from a mobile base and lame repetitive missions: What is the point? No really? Where are the big space battles that I can have with my fleet? Why is this not a thing? What the hell have you been doing all those years?! It was a given for me that fleet battles where a thing. I was shocked it wasn't. It was the whole point we even played the goddamn thing. -Variety Where? Where is it? No really? WHERE?! It's still the same 20-30 planets (at most) with the same looking animals everywhere just with a little variation in size and color. "Can you find beautiful planets?" Yes. "Are they in themselves diverse enough to warrant more than 2 screenshots before one moves on?" .... "Are they???" ... Not even a little The fact that I have seen everything shown in this video already including the exact types of animals, plants and so on in a game that is practically endless and claimed to have according variety is a joke. Again: We have played this game for maybe the better part of two or three weeks. Same goes for the ships. The differences are so minor I thought it was a progression thing at first. It wasn't. And then you can't even change their appearance because their paint and nose job is practically the only thing differentiating them from each other in their respective class/role (which has zero meaningful impact btw.) so we can't have that. I could go on for hours but I would rather make my own video where I can go far more into detail about this. Edit: No I haven't played Starfield because it was evident from the get go that it was a shit show. So I cannot compare but that isn't the point anyway.

This is the only game that has managed to pull me from my Fallout 76.

Uuumm idk what game your playing but it aint no mans sky because my game still looks like day one

I got because I saw goofy animals and spaceships I also just had 50 bucks to spend

The game is really good I know I've got it, but i haven't even put 10 hours in yet, ngl it gets boring real quick, the lack of planet activities ruins the game, diging for a few things is ok as a side activity but as a main and must do thing in the game it get boring, it needs planet missions from npc, npc walking about doing things ,each one can be spoken to and may have quests. They can send you to other planets or across the planet to pick up ships surrounded by grey aliens 😂. So much more it could be which it isn't. It's good but its not that good.

Knew there would be some shitting on Starfield in this video, what an absolute disaster that game was/is. Just horrible lol, can't believe Bethesda screwed up so badly.

I agree what Hello Games did whit NMS was both amazing and commendable.... but trust???? HELLLL NOOOO.... have been burned to many times for that... trust is only given after very long time , a severel titles whit no AAA behaviors at all... like none...

Its a solid od game until you get to a certain point. Now you realize its all the same over and over again. Now its bori6as fuck

I'm confused why you would show unrelated footage instead of actually showing footage related to the development of the game like.Why don't you show what it was like in 2016?And then show what it's like now not talk about it

Why do you keep calling it noma sky?

A child wrote this script

Biggest graphical downgrade of all time, that nobody noticed
