According to Steam stats, active userbase for the PC version recently dropped by around 90% with Sony and developer Hello Games being silent about several issues regarding the game as one of the possible reasons why.

Started around 200k during launch and dropped to around 20k active players per day.

yeah....unless they do something drastic, this is going to go down as a classic botch

I wanted to like this game but it's plodding through quicksand levels of slow..

yup. Its amazing except its the same amazing over and over again right now.

Fix the stupid inventory upgrade system for starters.

For those who have named planets and wildlife in the game, might want to go and check to see if those names still exist due to a supposed data erasing bug being discovered.

Apparently the bug only affects the oldest stuff named in the game and might be due to an unknown limit for name creating or game itself auto-removing old custom names after a while. Although some speculation about the people being affected were those playing before the game's official release.

Has anybody found a planet found by somebody else yet?

Nope.

Staring to think maybe the animals are glitched on the planets. Found all but 1 animal on a planet last night. All of them were just hanging around camps, except for one. I don't know if it just wouldn't generate, or it was at some secret place.

Couldn't be a fish, no water. Only one flying animal. Gave up after hanging around for an hour hitting ruins and ships to pass the time. But I missed a good payday if I found it. But I realized that trophy is gonna be a bitch to earn.

Yes

Next time you land on a planet with no life, it's already at 100%. Hit the button. You don't get any cash, but it counts as a planet you've discovered all life on.

That I knew.

I but I flew away from 225,000 units, dude. That's a couple suit upgrades right there.

Came home a couple hours ago. New patch installed.

This trick got killed. :fu:

Prob fixed the gek transmission patch too if you didn't upgrade your ship. Sounds like it fixed the ability to scan birds at least.

Nah. I got my 48 slot ship.

Game's going on the back burner for a little while. Mankind Divided demands to be played.

Yeah, Mankind Divided is tits.

Game fucking sucks. Overhyped crap.

I got stuck on a planet with a crashed ship and about a bazillion sentinels who were pissed off..deleted the save file and started over

That your starter planet, or did you land on one?

No..I was hunting down a crashed ship to upgrade and I stupidly took over the crashed ship.. I didn't have the resources to fix it and the stupid sentinels would kill me every time.

In other words, you've already been to all 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets?

ANybody get and how do you get Atlas V2?

Polo or Korvax Ops Centers.

Put the PS4 into overdrive and notched The Sentinel trophy today.

A good 6+ hours with an hour in between because the PS4 shutdown due to power settings. But, the 1st hardest trophy of the game is done.

been playing star trek online on the console instead of this for a bit.

Probably gonna platinum this during the weekend without having to beat it.

Just gotta hyperjump like crazy now.

Going to jump back into this, as it just got a massive update. Biggest additions are craftable bases and freighters, but there is a lot more.

Played a bit yesterday. Cool and all but still shallow at the end of the day. Looking for rare resources to upgrade base. I'll goof around with it for a bit more though. Glad to see they plan on updating it and haven't just abandoned it. Hopefully the start of good things to come.

Platinumed & traded in long ago.

Massive update. Might have to fire this game up again. Still a really good chill and relax game.

1 year too late unfortunately.

True, but there are still enough people playing to enjoy the update. Actually looking forward to trying it out.

Picked it up because it was on sale. Ok it's fun. A lot of fun. Really enjoying tooling around the universe.

Man.....I had all the experts and did all their missions and now they're all gone and I have to recruit all over again and do a whole new set of fetch quests. Gonna slog through a bit at a time for now but it's still very grindy.

Textures are alot better. Much less phasing in of terrain.

New update greatly expands underwater exploration

This is getting a huge new update in Summer called Beyond.

Murray says there are three major features it adds. The first is more mmo style characteristics. Though he says the goal isnt to turn it into a straight mmo.

Second is VR support for PC and PS4.

Third is not yet revealed.

New update is fucking huge. So much stuff. Getting PSVR primarily for this game.

Actually downloaded this again since I'm all played up. Seems to gave gotten much better. Base is gone which sucks.

Still buggy af. Keeps crashing even after the update. Too bad since everyone keeps saying how good is it now.

No Man's Sky is that guy who you see doing something stupid everytime you see him. Everyone then tells you how that's not him and he's actually a really good guy but there he is, running into a wall while drunk the next time you see him.

Stupid is as stupid does.

I will say it's been fun getting back into it. Still a hell of a grind to do some basic things (see: repairing a frigate, hope you have the right element to do so, mine for elements needed to fuel expedition) that I wish wasn't so time consuming. Still, I've always liked the premise and am going to put in the time.
