Yes, the problem is people don't seem to understand that this game might simply 'not be for them'. They've also only shown footage from the very beginning of the game and Sean has said he wanted the creatures and environments to be more Earth-like, but as you get closer to the centre the environments and creatures get more alien-like and harder to deal with.

Why do people keep saying this? How much did we see, maybe less than 1 hour of unique footage with different planets? How much are you gonna plan to play the game, maybe over 100 hours so who says you might not see design patterns repeated with little variations? If there's one thing I've learned from devs who promise "million different weapons" like Borderlands or 1000s of hours of content, it's not to trust it.  And yeah, it's the color pallete, it's starting to look same-y already, I also feel like the environments look very basic and planets small.

actually I'm shocked to read that No Man's Sky is 60 dollar.

I've seen desert planets with sand dunes and strange giant two legged creatures roaming around, I've seen Earthlike environments with meadows, hills and mountains, I've seen tropical planets with mist and rain, I've seen lush alien looking planets with strange giant ferns and flying whales, just to name a few. For those people who like to 'complete' a game you have the end goal of getting to the centre of the universe, where we'll find out more about the lore and Sean Murray has said you could see it as the beginning of a new game. These people will probably be playing around 40 hours. Then you have people (like myself) who are explorers, who will spend all of their time finding wonderful things, searching ruins for clues to the lore or new blueprints to improve their suits, ships, guns or hacking devices. Some will play as traders, some will play as pirates, some will play as archaeologists searching out the lore, some will play as miners, digging down to hidden caverns to discover rare materials and strange dark dwelling creatures, some will concentrate on doing the side quests or infiltrating building to hack computers. If you think these all look the same then I don't think we see things in the same way, and REMEMBER, these are the initial planets we see, not the planets that are nearer the centre of the universe:

Imagine this game is all about discovery, finding out things, I kind of understand why they are not showing off much more than 1 hours gameplay. I mean they gave press the ability to play the game for 30 minutes and some (and they were all under NDA) were releasing information about it before the actual embargo date.

So if it was my game and it was all about discovery, then I certainly would be very careful in allowing anyone to ruin it for anyone else. It's a bit like HBO not sending out Game of Thrones to the press, because some idiot will ruin it for the fans.

No. They are 2 completely different games.

People may think gamers are over hyping No Man's Sky.... But Uhm we've never had a game like this in this scale. So it makes perfect sense to me. I mean you show this game to a friend and they'll be like "holy shit... This game does that?"

I think this game is gonna sell amazing... And it's also worth that $60 price tag from what we've seen.

so no, it won't be even close to Evolve.

There's no similarities between No Man's Sky and Evolve. They are like night and day. Everything from theme to gameplay is different. Did you actually watch any vids about either games?

Both have trees and bushes so they're identical ...

I'm still confused how the op is classifying evolve as an indie game....
