Already bought it on PS4.

I'll grab a PSVR if the game support it in the futur

I was interested when it was considered an indie game because I knew it was be $19.99 or under. At full price? I don't think so.

Provided it works on PC and is entirely stable day 1 (thanks to all that dough they got) then I might at some point, not day 1 though.

So what keeps them from procedually generating a certain radius beforehand? You know, like every procedually generated game that has ever existed is generating the whole level before you enter it.

They already use a radius with precalculated assets or else you would see every blade of grass pop in at every step you take. There is no technological reason why that radius cannot be expanded.

Probably not, I just don't see the entertainment value in it at all. The concept is interesting and original though, it makes scope its main focus and could pave the way for other, more interesting titles in the future.

To me the game seems pointless. I don't like exploring for the sake of exploring, I have to have a goal, an objective, a sense of progression.

No gonna be way way to time consuming.

Yes, they've been working on extending that radius but they don't preload anything. This isn't Minecraft, this is an entire universe with far more details than Minecraft. Every block in Minecraft is a voxel while everything in No Man's Sky is built from tiny square vozels. There are various steps in the LOD, each is calculated as you draw nearer an object or planet. Nothing exists until you come across it.

Your objective is to get to the centre of the universe. To do that you have to upgrade your equipment/ship and level up.

That's my exact problem with it as well, and the times where players enter combat, or at the very least shoot at something, it looks really bad. An endless world with nothing worthwhile to do seems utterly pointless to me.
