No Man's Sky Delayed? [May 26, 2016, 09:03 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
No Man's Sky may be delayed, reports
Kotaku,
citing "sources," a reassurance that this is not something they just made up. We
kid, but it sounds like they've heard this from two independent informants,
which adds credibility to word that Hello Games' space game has suffered a
setback from its planned release next month.
They say the game no longer has a set release date, but that "we’re hearing it’s
been bumped until at least July or August." Here's more:
A reliable Kotaku source was the first to inform us of the delay. A second source, who works at GameStop, said they received marketing materials today for No Man’s Sky with the original June 21 release date. However, stores were informed that the release date is no longer correct and that they should cover it up with a “Coming Soon” label

The videos I've seen don't show a lot of story or gameplay, besides flying around. If someone else has others, I'd love to see them...
I think it might be quite fun to bring about mass galaxy-wide extinctions. Although I'm probably biased...
Maybe that would be a bit extreme. How about mass galaxy-wide enslavement?
Or, you know, just populate a planet entirely with fluffy kittens?
Kittens!

Games like Minecraft, or Space Engineer's or countless other sandbox games that have no story (or was added later)?
Diablo 3 had a story, but once you finish it up you resort to grinding in season. Why do people do it? Because they want to. Don't remember seeing all this BS about story in the other games threads.
Personally I'm looking forward to it.
The key is having direction, or something to work towards. Few people can play games that have nothing to work forward to. In Minecraft, you work on building something epic, or on slaying the ender dragon. In D3 you work on getting that epic loot to be the best or you try to beat the season challenges. But there's a ton of sandbox games with no direction that don't hold people's interest. I think that No Man's Sky is going to have the direction that people need, but I think people may get bored of the repetitive gameplay before they reach their goal.
Apparently the end "goal" of the game is to get to the center of the universe.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!

No story go do whatever you want. People were complaining there is nothing to do.
I think games like the Witcher and GTA got people spoiled and they expect more from the open world games, than just being tossed into this sandbox and go make your own story.
I personally enjoyed E:D quiet a bit but I understand why people were complaining about it.

Perhaps this is the reason for the delay?
They've talked a bit about it, but the majority of the vids I've seen have focused on the engine. Sounds like exploration, trading, fighting, a lot like E:D.

It gets no publicity because Early Access survive-n-build games are ALL still in Early Access, no matter how long they've been around. Show me ONE that's made it to a "full release". I'm done buying games that aren't even halfway through development, only for the dev to decide they made their money from me already so why bother doing any more work.
I don't know about Steam Early Access, but on XBox Early Access Elite: Dangerous made it to full release. In fact Horizons comes out in a couple of weeks. I think it's still the only one that has so far though.

They won't outright say that the game has no content but they haven't really shown any content in the videos that have been released so far either.
Now we donce.

You make you own adventure sort of game, no story or anything like that. You get thrown into this large sandbox and do whatever you want. Explore, trade, fight etc.

What's peoples thoughts on Empyrion? It seems to be an epic scale with a lot more to do, from travel to planets all the way down to fighting in dungeon levels on each, crafting, survival, etc. A game that gets no pub vs another game that for some reason just gets all the pub, hasn't released, hasn't shown a lot to do.
I played Empyrion several months ago with a friend and we got bored really fast because we didn't see anything worth doing. You have no motivation to do things and surviving is really easy. It felt like an empty world with no direction and nothing pushing you to explore. So, basically, it seems to have the faults that people plant on No Man's Sky. BUT, that was months ago, maybe it's better now? We were expecting a space 7 days to die and that's not what we got.

I get that, but No Man isn't done yet either, but the point I'm making is there is so much more to do in Empyrion and is on the same planetary level No Man is pimping, not as huge galactically, but lets face that, that is more of an instance/resource trick on their end vs fun game play. You can discover billions of systems to me means yeah we say it's MP, but we want to keep you much more segregated in reality, but shhhh you're not supposed to notice that.
But with Empyrion once on planet there is like 100x more to do, if not infinity!
I guess what I'm saying is that game seems much more promising in terms of fun.

The tech for stuff looks kind of cool, but the overall gameplay doesn't really appeal to me.

Not a real surprise, but I'm still looking forward to buying this for $9.99 or less.
Yes.
They lost me at "a reliable Kotaku source"...
