Neh, only if it comes to PS+ someday...

It's amazing how the idea that NMS has no point or objective is so pervasive.

The main problem is that No Man's Sky has got so many gaming loops that people can't see the trees for the forest. Trading isn't seen as a gaming loop for some people so they overlook that. Searching out the lore and discovering what the Sentinals really are isn't seen as a gaming loop for some and so they overlook that. They also seem to forget you have to actually 'adventure' out into hostile territory in order to do simple things like upgrade your equipment or ship in order to fulfill your main objective which is to discover what's at the centre of the universe. Hacking is also forgotten, as is learning languages. People also ask 'what's the point in naming stuff?' They don't understand that you earn Units for doing that and so naming creatures could well be your only hope of ever leaving certain planets. Nor do they ever seem to talk about surviving the hostile environments or surviving a night filled with hostile creatures. In space, it will feel like a space shooter, on land it will feel like a shooter/adventure/survival game, in tunnels and caves it could feel like a horror games.

Well said sir. I hope it pans out well. I have confidence that it will be, at least, fairly well recieved at large, and that I will like it as well.

Finally pre-ordered mine for Steam. Getting pretty excited now.

Lot's of people are preordering or intend to buy it after watching the streams. Is that why you've decided to preorder it?

I'm waiting for the reviews. It looks really good, I like to read some reviews before purchase.

No, I was fully intending on either pre-ordering it or buying it day one.  I was just waiting until I had a spare 60 bucks to use. And pre-ordering gets you a more powerful ship, I believe.

I haven't watched any streams. Everything I know about the game is from the various articles and previews we've been fed since the announcement.
