No Man's Sky Beyond - Before You Buy 

Might be one of our latest uploads yet (from here in NY EDT)

It's almost like they used the money they earned from sales to improve the game

this game is 3 years old and Hello Game is still supporting it with a lot of free updates. meanwhile, Anthem is barely a year old and EA / Bioware already pretend like it never existed.

Thanks Internet Historian. This is actually the First time I'm watching a "Before You Buy" _Before I actually buy._

NMS is like some guy who owes you $1000 from 4 years ago coming back with $10000 to repay you after you thought the cash was lost.

You've got to respect their commitment to make the game what was promised in the first place. It's a rare thing.

Gotta give the team credit. There was an interview with one of the developer who said a lot of the team chose to improve the game with a serious pay reduction after the first year.

"No man's sky: After you've bought it" would have been a better title.

Bethesda! Watch and learn what to do with unfinished games.

“No Man’s Sky Beyond - Before You Comeback”

Took them 3 years guess it was worth it Respect for the commitment

Internet Historian brought me here. What a Cinderella story for NMS game.

Incorrect. I am a badass space bounty hunter with a sick ship and a quickdraw. Dont ruin my fun

If no mans sky was made by EA, all these updates would probably have been released as $60 new games

"this time you should actually buy"

I get that there are so many angry customers that refuse these devs a second chance. It's because they've only seen malicious companies like EA and Activision pulling such moves for their gain. The bad half of the industry has sapped all trust from them.

I knew since the start. I looked into hello games, they seem like a small group of people who just wanted to publish a game everyone would enjoy. Slowly they've come out with updates and I expect many more. After what happened with their launch I believe they'll just stick to perfecting no man's sky first before making anything new.

Meanwhile EA wonder why players hate them.....

Im glad they still seek redemption, maybe there's hope for the industry

I myself have a few things I think would take the exploration to the next level: -Huuuuuge animals you can see from seemingly miles away, possibly some you can build upon, or mine off of. (Maybe they like you if you clean all the resources off of its back.) Maybe whales or giant sharks or giant sea monsters. Make some of them lethal too. -More fantastical biomes. Floating mountains and islands. Maybe a hellish lava world with a volcano huge enough to take up a continent with a mouth you can build a geothermal base inside of. Maybe ocean planets that are almost *entirely* water, save for the gravity generator at its core, or something. Maybe some quests where you have to repair the gravity well, and until it's done, the water flows in huge spouts and tentacles that your ship has to avoid, else it gets stuck and soaked. Make a base where you can build a sub. -Maybe give the animals more intelligence. Make predators put more technique and strategy in hunting you, like packs. Maybe there's primitive structures, like dens, dams, or huts. How about primitive tribal creatures that smash up your vehicles if you leave it unattended, or inhabit crashed freighters? I can imagine they run for the hills if you pull up your freighter overhead. -It would also be insanely immersive if certain animals could interact at further ranges. Look through your binoculars, you see a big something with claws stalking you, or a huge bird of prey or dragon alien, circling overhead, looking for the right time to strike. Maybe that primitive tribe is sniping you from far away with spears and arrows from the cover of tall grass or trees. -Some things could also use some scaling up. Trees that you can fly up vertically along, faults wide and deep enough to build a small metro in, that continental volcano. Don't just take the lead. Keep it, and leave everyone else in the dust.

Technically you can be a fighter pilot, just keep playing pirate nexus missions.

One of the greatest redemption stories in video game history.

“It’s still not Skyrim in space...” well damn, maybe next update haha

Newbies: Play third person Next Players: Play third person Veterans: *_Intense typing: HOW TO SWITCH POV IN NO MAN'S SKY_*

no mans sky was the first and only game ie ever gone to the trouble of returning on steam,.. i was so incredibly hyped back in 2016, and to see what it really was cut me deep,.. im very glad to say that after re-buying it, its so much better and im having legitimate fun with it,... i say give it a try now

"No Man's Sky Beyond-Before You Buy-Second Chance Edition"

Now we need a new update in which procedurally cities and NPCS will be present

I've checked my Discord like 5 times while watching this video

At this point, I'd say that NMS now exceeds "Skyrim in space". If they add more updates, I think my mind might explode.

I bought it back when it was for sale at only 5$. Feels good man

When you release a mediocre game then slowly patch up into a master piece *Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.*

Downloaded it again Saturday and haven't stop playing since. Love the interaction with the NPC's and the building in general is a lot of fun. Exploration is amazing! The game has come a long way since release.

I bought this game 1 day before launch because I was on the hype, and I was so disappointed after some hours of gameplay that I uninstalled it and forgot about the game for many months. I've been following what the devs at Hello Games was doing since the beginning, and when I found that the game changed for the better, I gave it another try. They literally didn't stoped working and updating the game since the dust has settled. We are in 2022 and they just released another big update improving many things on the game, and promissed there is more to come. My respect for the guys at Hello Games.

Used to really hate this game. Now I love it and find it to be a very relaxing game.

Port it on the Switch and watch it go from no man's to all man's sky.

*this game has improved so much that it is easily one of my favorite space exploration games. The sense of adventure makes me have so much fun in this game.*

Best comeback in (gaming) history. So worth it now. Every corner is something new to do. Upgrades, building materials, missions, oh my!

Played no man sky with vr... hit a meteor while flying.... spun out of control... vomited.. hotel... trivago

Hahaha had so much luck this year 2017 :battlefront 2, doomed 2019 reborn 2016:no man's sky doesn't lives up to its promises 2019:well guess who's back

Most people fail to realize it’s not supposed to be like the popular mainstream games you see today. It’s different and yes I heard it was crap when it first came out but from my experience it keeps me captivated for hours. The artwork is fantastic and the concept of space is there which is what I really enjoy about the game. If you aren’t a fan of space than you might not like this type of game. There is really a lot to explore. People need to actually invest in the game to really understand it.

That Discord notification at 0:55 had me confused for like 5 minutes.

As someone who bought the game when it first came out I can say that they definitely put their hearts into revitalizing this game and it shows. The game as you said is fundamentally the same but theres just so much more to it now. I'm happy I didn't sell my copy (I buy physical) and downloaded all the updates, especially the latest one

I'll be honest, this gives me an impression of No Man's Sky having better chances of becoming what Star Citizen strives to be than Star Citizen.

I really want them to change the way planets' atmospheres look up close, like the one at 0:10. I mean make the clouds a little more detailed, cast some shadows. It will really make it a hundred times better. It's a serious immersion breaker imo

You know its something special when hellogames have reviewers re reviewing their game. Now i need AngryJoe to step up lol

Never seen a game make such a comeback. Honestly i think their mistake was releasing the game too soon but hey props to them for improoving it significantly now.

Wish next update they would add you riding at the back of a space ship as a hostage at the start of the game and some blonde guy would say "Hey you're finally awake"

Never played it due to negative reviews but I'm hearing good things since the updates. The aesthetics look off the chain.

I never really left this game since launch, and I'm happy that I've never left this game. Good work hello games.

Wow everything looks so different I forgot this is No Man's Sky

Y’all should see InternetHistorian’s video on this game. It goes over the whole no mans sky story

My reply to the 'bored' guy in the comments section, it's worth reposting: If 'almost nothing to do enjoyably' in the game = taming, riding, milking, feeding, killing, cooking and scanning animals, amassing a fleet of frigates spearheaded by a massive freighter and sending them on interstellar missions, building massive bases, farms and factories with their own logic gates and power grids, flying spaceships, driving dune buggies and Dark Knight-style motorbikes, riding in submarines, learning 4 different foreign languages, completing a variety of different mission types to raise your faction with multiple guilds, visiting truly bizarre planets and taking amazing photos to share on Reddit, finding blueprints and crafting upgrades to turn your basic exosuit, bargain spaceship and shoddy multitool into amazing technological masterpieces of form and function, unlocking the secrets of portals that can send you to any planet in the universe, hunting for ancient treasures, scrapped technologies and scouring old ruins to discover ancient lore, braving terrible radioactivity, superheated rainstorms or bitter cold to acquire profitable storm crystals, mixing random substances together in large refiners to see what mystery substance is produced, fighting off savage dinosaurs, relentless robots, and warping from system to system in your dilapidated space hauler, buying low and selling high while fighting off pirates or bribing them to leave you alone...then you must be really bored. You have my sympathies.

I've been playing the VR version on my ps4 and I'm hooked it's hard for me to quit playing

Well, pre orderdered it and was meh. Didn't live to the hype. But 3 years of free updates made me play it again

We can hear the discord audio in the background of the footage at the start, keeps making me check my own discord lol

One issue that I still have with the game is that the weather on planets doesn't sync with other players so while my friends are running around and exploring, I'm sitting in my ship because I only have 23 seconds to survive the current weather situation....

*Me, with over a billion credits with S class gear, ships, and Freighter* "Oh yeah, it's all coming together"

That gameranx blip at the beginning of every vid is honestly one of my favorite sounds.

This is the only game that can make me mine rock for 5 hours.

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours. You are a pretty chill dude, looking forward to the content!

I think the NEXT update was the first real showing of what the game should have been. The updates prior to NEXT were a good show of faith. Now it's really worth it. However it's still a mining and grinding survival game at heart.

I was already thinking about buying it after hearing about the updates. But this video sold me! Thanks gameranx!

If you have waited until now to buy this game I can assure you it is finally time to get it. I got it yesterday and while the systems are complex at first they become simple if you put about 2 hours into the game. After that point the game becomes incredibly addictive and progress is very frequent. As someone who vehemently hated the game on launch, I absolutely love this new polished beyond version. It's on sale quite often and if you buy a hard copy at a game store it is even cheaper. 4/5 Not a masterpiece but a damn good game and worth your money. Especially if you like RPG/CREATIVE/SURVIVAL games.

I feel Hello games has done all this support because they truly love this game and they have put so much care and attention into after its incredibly disappointing launch. Even after its terrible launch I've been one of the people who have stuck with the game. I saw so many things being put in and taken out over these past three years that everything was different, every time I booted up the game. Now I feel its very playable and quite a nice chill experience which keeps me satisfied

Look your guys' discord notification sounds threw me off! Great review as always.

I’m glad that the developers took time to improve the game and I hope other games follow their example **cough** **cough** Fallout 76 **cough**

Now in 2021 the game has passed all expectation IMO and they are still adding stuff to this day!!

Im been at no man since the beggining, my recommendation is to start fresh as a new game and pretend a few days ago was the game release, why a new game? is because my old save file stick with all the old planets pressets + the new size spawn items and sometime my game crash, i start a new game and i felt the difference and expansive look of the new planets generated... give them a second chance, just like Sea Of Thieves, is not gonna be your MAIN GAME TO PLAY but is gonna be your "Guilty Pleasure" game to relax and explore at your pace... (play on permadeath, to give you a more "life" value care... and apreciate more and think more about your next move before exploring)

I bought NMS half off on steam yesterday. After rewatching some early gameplay, I'm glad I waited. This game is awesome now!

No man's sky-One of the best redemption arcs in the history of video games

Even though it wasn’t great at first, it still has a kickass soundtrack

Actually got emotional nearing the end of Internet Historian's video 😭.

Been playing it since the update with my friends on pc and we have been having a great time

"No Man's Sky Beyond - After You Buy" title. is. fixed.

Yea the biggest thing both my Son and I got from this game early on. was that the Devs were actually listening in real time to what people were bitching about or asking for and they actually responded. Fixing stuff and delivering. That is so F'ing rare nowadays in this WamBam thankyou game world. One other thing we noticed & really really appreciated, was the download speeds of updates were not throttled back like almost all the other games. Updates were often - they were fast and on point. Respect to the team for not just taking the money and running.

There's VR, in a game that was never intended to get VR when it was first launched. As part of the game price, not as a separate game, and with seamless gameplay with those that don't use VR as well. This update alone provides at least 3 things to do with multiplayer that other games would either not support or charge as an entirely different game download for, just for VR support and multiplayer. With the third being seamless multiplayer via just entering an area in your world that instantly connects you to every single player the game can support in there aswell. And doing missions on the fly with strangers in there as well. May not have been worth it at the time, but this update basically makes it worth the cost of an entire new game considering how many devs would charge just for VR support.

Was playing this and having a blast when I saw the notification still gonna watch the whole thing

But will it make me FEEL like I’m a better version of myself??

0:56 who else hears the discord message sound?

I’ve still gone back to play this and it is actually pretty cool now. I haven’t played “Beyond” yet but I look forward to it.

Me: I'm going to sleep Gamranx: *Posted late night video* Also Me: guess not...

And the sound track is AWESOME

I just got NMS and freaking LOVE it!! It can be a little confusing at first, but after getting used to everything it rocks 😍

The Discord notification sound messed me up

My biggest complaint is the combat. The ship combat is fine but the weapons are weird and it's not fun to fight things. They could have made combat fun like in sci-fi shooters. Imagine being able to board giant ships and you have to fight your way through it to either take the ship, plant explosive charges, or steal the cargo. Imagine finding rare randomly generated dungeons on planets where you need multiple players. Get to the end and you're rewarded with ancient alien technology or amazing weapons. It would also mean they could add a fun PvP aspect to the game. Imagine if something like destiny had the exploration of no man's sky. It just seems like there's a lot of wasted potential.

Hittin the late night uploads for us night owls 😤😤 I respect and appreciate it 😂👌🏼

I'm big into VR and missed out on all the hype for NMS back in 2016 since I was heavy into the HTC Vive. Now that there is a full-fledged VR version I'm playing NMS in VR and loving it. Props to Hello Games for building this thing!

I'm in love with this game. I only just started but it's amazing. The building is great, the story so far is pretty good. But probably the main thing that sells it for me is the way planets are done. The way No Man's Sky does it is great. Instead of having it where you just get close to the planet, and say a loading screen pops up and you have a small section of the planet to play, you get to explore and fly around the entire thing! As a fan of space, I adore this game. Also my name is unintentionally ironic.

Its a good time to play NMS. All are welcome. Join the nerdy fun.

Bro it’s 2am for me. Stop uploading and keeping me awake 😂😂

I think this game gave me the knowledge to pass my science GCSE a year ago.

"the money was spent already, what're you gonna do?" 7:56 LOL TRUE DAT

Take into account this update is brand new and patches are in the works so a lot of the glitches and VR problems will be mostly gone

I should’ve refunded it and got some money back, But i’m glad I didn’t and kept playing to watch it slowly turn into the Real No man’s Sky!

As one of the few who liked this game at launch, I'm really excited to see them constantly adding to it and enhancing it

Been playing since the foundation update, this game has changed so much its awesome

Interviewer: will this game be fun? Dev: no Update: actually...

It's a bit buggy now but since launch theve released 4 patches and counting, so in a week or so everything should be cleared up

I like this approach. Not all games stay the same as time moves on thanks to patches and updates. This is great to show games that fid improve a lot over time some love and not be burdened from their initial reviews they got in their launch. I would love to see this as “Before you buy: second glance”.

Internet Historian made me come here!
