No Man's Sky - August 9, 2016

i assume theyre still trying to work out how to add some variety to the actual gameplay

I know! Im still waiting for actual variety in my call of duty and Doom games. Its all shoot shoot shoot and im like wtf why arent i asked questions about obscure Chinese history during a quiz show segment????

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...

I know right? Don't forget the guy telling me to go to third planet of the Sheskke System and kill 7 long necked Delids and bring their pelts!

He had one of the redditors message him on Twitter blaming him for delaying NMS, like Jason was personally responsible, when the article was published and how he was going to come find and kill him and his entire family. Thats how fucked up it was, and still is.

So he think Jason article is the reason why the game got delayed?? What!! How is that logical?

Death threat to someone and his family over a 1 and half month delay of a game?? Seriously!! What a toxic some of the gaming community are.. My god.

Hahah such a great gif usage.

Yup, August sounds nice, I'll probably get this one. Latest IGN video sold it for me, mostly because the interface looked so sweet, reminded me of Destiny.

And, really, this game looks like Destiny should've been from the start? Exploration, unknown, excitement, trading, learning, surviving.

If you look at the guys Twitter, it's obvious he's just a kid. A dumb kid, but still a kid.

...I hope...

Fine with me. Still got a whole bunch of backloggery that I need to finish off.
Can anybody explain the logic behind this game not releasing simultaniously worldwide?

Boo, though means I'll have time to play Star Ocean 5 now and some more of my backlog. And glad its early August so not clashing with Dues Ex.

Interesting, Steam date is still the same. I wonder if this has to do with a failed submission to Sony, maybe some PS4 specific bugs or performance issues.
 
Awesome delay. They got 20 more euros off from me. I had a pre-order up at base.com but I just noticed I get the limited edition quite cheap locally so I cancelled the base order and paid for the LE.

Nice play Hello Games, nice play!

I genuinely don't understand how and UK company is releasing their game in their own country last. Thank god for VPN's, I'll be playing this on the 9th when nearly everyone else is, not 3 days later!

One of my all time favorite games released in August (Bioshock), this must be a sign! I waited 3 years for this.

The start of August is more suitable for me so this works out. It would be nice if they were able to release globally on the same day rather than have a three day wait in the UK but it's not that long at least.
 
I could feel my IQ dropping just reading some of those NMS subreddit screenshots.

Kotaku writer was just doing his job. But everyone here knows that.

And for my opinion on this game and its new release date: I think that a month.5 delay is a good thing for most games, as it usually indicates final polishing is being conducted. Which is what the main dev said was happening, so that's great.

That being said, I haven't been impressed with this game from a gameplay perspective (procedural generation is obviously cool), and at this point I'm not confident this will be a game that will keep most players' attention for more than a few days.

So it'll only take 1 month longer for it to come out. Big deal. I'll still wait for reviews because the game hasn't convinced me yet.

If a shallow, 2-mode sandbox shooter with zero progression like Overwatch can get 90s and 100s from top gaming sites, then No Man's Sky will be GOAT based on just what we've seen.
 
I'm fine with the delay.

Wasn't looking forward to this CE and the Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE CE dropping within a week of each other in June. Hopefully though my 65dos soundtrack isn't delayed for June though.
 
Oh fuck. I hope that another Until Dawn pre-order thing doesn't happen again.

Library still says 23d. I hope they update it on Tuesday, otherwise I think the UD pre-order thing that happened to dozens of us will happen again.
 
My backlog is massive, but I was so excited for this It also happened to be a birthday present to myself (released 2 days after my birthday) ):

I'm more or less referring to these clowns making death threats to a journalist for reporting news. I can understand being disappointed in delays but there are so many games, books, TV shows, events, and other activities to enjoy in the meantime.

You have to be the lowest level of loser to make death threats to somebody's family over a video game.

I'm playing through Uncharted 4 right now and I'm glad they delayed that game so I could enjoy it at it's full potential. People complain when half baked games get released and people complain when developers take more time to give us our money's worth. They can't win.

iam8bit, humble store, and Steam all have the June date still. Probably delayed too, but it would be nothing short of amazing if the issues causing the delay were only on the ps4 and the PC version launched on time anyway.

Worth noting that the delay message was only published on Playstation blog, as far as I can see. No social media account of Hello Games or Sean mention it yet. Not even a link to the blog. Which is very strange.

Jason was right as many thought he would be, which is great for him. Good job keeping the publishers ob their toes with showing how important it is to inform the community at the same time as partners and I mean that sincerely, well done Jason.

On the other hand, while I can nothing but laugh and feel bad about those kids who've nothing better to do than threaten people on the internet because they don't like what someone is saying, especially if it's clearly a shooting the messenger situation, I would expect from someone like Jason to understand how emotionally important a delay of such a game may be to some and expect him not to make comments about those emotional reactions being "unexpected" or "out of hand" or whatever the comments on twitter or reddit from him were, sorry, I don't have it in front of me.

Just report what you know, wait for it to be confirmed by the official side and revel in another case of being right increasing your credibility. Again, not defending any of those ideiots out there who attacked Jason, they clearly need to get a grip, just saying Jason could've left an even better impression by not "looking down" on people being emotional about the affair.

This game is going to disappoint people so much who have built it up this much that a month and a half delay messes it up for them

Not really, it's more to do with the fact that were it to come out on June, I would be able to spend a ton of time on the game. Now that it's coming out in August, I don't think I can.

Yes, it's illegal. A "credible threat of violence" where the victim could possibly "feel fear" can be a variety of charges, including assault (which could be a misdemeanor or felony), stalking, or terroristic threats.

Problem is, if you report that to authorities, it's doubtful they'll spend the resources required to track that person down and pursue criminal charges, but it's always possible, sure. If the police investigated every threat made over the Internet, they'd be back logged with cases for thousands of years, really.

That's fucked man.

This is the guy btw:

Monitoring his twitter all morning because I can´t wait to see what he does next.

It's ok, 'cause he's "jk".

Wish there was a way to slap the fuck outta people over the Internet.
 
Not really, it's more to do with the fact that were it to come out on May, I would be able to spend a ton of time on the game. Now that it's coming out in August, I don't think I can. Also, it's not a month and a half, it's two months and a half.

The game was supposed to come out in june, not may. So im not sure where you're getting two and a half months from?

Oops, right. Had a brainfart. But yeah, my point is that I think for a lot of people early summer affords a bit of freedom and we tend to get busier towards the end, so those people (such as myself) are pretty disappointed.
