No Man's Sky: Worlds Part I Responsible for Nearly 500% Increase in PS5, PS4 Players

@Khayl "Were you one among the money who returned to No Man's Sky in the past week?" So we're money? I think you meant "Many". 🤣

@WiiWareWave autocorrect strikes again! Thanks, updated haha

Push Square has OFFICIALLY said "ponies". I can die happy now. 😂 Adam is my new hero.

The steam numbers were helped by it being the weekend flash sale for the update.....I bought a copy... Gotta prep for a new playthrough whenever I go pcvr...

I should get into No Man's Sky. I've always wanted to play Space Minecraft. Or a better Starfield, whichever joke you like more.

I was one of the few that put a lot of time into this game at launch. Even then I loved the feeling of just touching down on a random planet and exploring. I think, after so many years of updates, it's time to finally go back and get the platinum.

At this point I want there to be a fully populated planets. Even if you can only visit a small section of them. I kind of just want to buy an apartment in a Bladerunner-esque world and chill after a long day of exploring the universe.

It got me to rebuy it while it was on sale to use with my psvr 2 and it’s amazing in the headset. I’m playing on relaxed and loving it and I’m only a few hours in

One of the best supported video games ever created.

I played it for the first time in years, so I'm part of the influx.

I really want to play this again but I just don't have the time to dedicate to it. A game such as this requires that I put the hours in to fully appreciate what hello games have created here. A quick play to satisfy my curiosity is just not doing this game any justice..People talk about games that "don't respect my time" well this is one of those rare games I'm comfortable in saying whatever time I spend playing it won't respect the game..

Friend bought me it on PC we was doing 3 players but one friend just did everything in mins I on the other hand had no clue what to do. Like to get a part for my ship it wasn't really clear on how to get it so I gave up on it might try and go back to it give it another go solo

I would, but I really really don’t want to do that tutorial which I know I’d have to. Get me an update to skip that crap and I’m on it.

The perfect example of rags to riches. I remember getting this day 1 and being so disappointed, glad I never sold my copy and believed they could turn this around, "you reap what you sow" definately comes to mind!

Not played it again yet, but after watching a Playstation access video on it I re-downloaded it so I will be playing again soon

I redownloaded it and finally actually gave it more than a five minute go. I really like it!

@ATaco Will never happen. Even Star Citizen struggles to do that and can only do it a smoke and mirrors kinda way.

@HotGoomba It's kinda like Spacenautica, if you've ever played those

I’m one of the returning players on PS5. So far the game feels so much better to play than in the past. Seems like I read somewhere that Hello Games changed the game engine to place more of the heavy lifting to the GPU, and this seems apparent on the PS5. Everything is smooth and the pop-in is greatly reduced.

Oddly, when I downloaded the game to my Xbox Series X, the 5.0 Worlds update is not available yet. I was going to let my son play on that system, but the 4.7x version is noticeably lesser in quality.

I love how people jump on a game for a visual update and the pretty characters/gameplay of the Capcom poll is it's own audience but even still. I swear some people.

The update is fine, sure it adds more character, more terrain/sky changes, sure it's prep for Light No Fire, but to me the content updates prior were more compelling not some visual nonsense I find boring and annoying.

To me the villages and processing machines were cool, the expeditions are boring cosmetics for the effort to get. Some parts of the economy would be nice to expand on but otherwise it's fair, the tutorial is a bit annoying though, but the game content wise has expanded well enough to me as someone that's followed the updates but not played it but know those that have and got nothing to do because they breeze through things or at end game so not much to do.

But I hated Minecraft 1.7.2 the most the algorithm for biomes and all the flowers and whatever sucked and weren't compelling to me at all, I still hate it years later and tolerate it, and 1.16 Nether was ok and 1.18 was just alright.

To me function over fancy, but seeing as people like skins, pretty locations/holiday destination worlds with boring missions while I hate the outdoors it's boring and planet Earth is just repetitive trees, grass, desert, canyons, mountains and other boring colours/terrain that's really ugly to look at.

I can handle structure/technical things but most people want whatever looks cool/pretty.

I hate realism so to me seeing sandstorms, planet rings, and other whatever it's fine but too me distracting and not appealing at all. Sandstorms can have a gameplay benefit and they have in the game always but even still. It takes people that barely noticed the game, a visual update happens and people go wow. People are so stupid when it comes to seeing what games do.

Anything ambitious always never gets the respect it deserves it's why audiences kill games because they are stupid, notice characters/enemies/worlds but the gameplay to make it FUN or the loading times or other technical feats, nah. I'm not even an expert and understand the goes on and am impressed by those elements.

But people go oh the 2016 trailer. Yeah and who played Minecraft or Gran Turismo 5 & 6 with free updates or understand survival games and their structure then boring open world formulas with boring worlds, characters, missions and generic character movesets, idiots.

I miss the old multiplayer sure it didn't work well, sure it was realistic of being in space but still it was unique.

I want sandbox/survival game content, something that Minecraft sucks at these days with bad mob votes, by the audience and the developers and bad use cases of features for the mobs and the updates. The crafting table/wind of the latest was fine but even then I'm not playing the game because most of it is boring and mods got me from 1.13-1.17 but otherwise eh had more fun writing up wikis then I have playing the game.

@dark_knightmare2 I feel the controls are worse on PSVR2 then they were on PSVR1, but enjoy.

@SuntannedDuck2 thanks and yeah the controls took a little to get used to but now their second nature and it’s just mind blowing having this huge space game in vr I love it

Yup, one of them, I've never had the hardware till now, so it's perfect..first time I saw it was at my mates, on the launch..seemed too barren for me..but now? Wow! Loving it
