I pretty much agree with is review having put in time on a few planets it starts of well, but after time it becomes apparent that the game should have been named dejavu , or groundhogs day in space.

NMS current metacritic 50/100 mediocre.

Yes it is, but for decades we have been indoctrinated into thinking that 7/10 is average 8/10 good ,and if anything even games receiving those scores are being more and more seen as receiving subpar scores in some quarters.

After reading his review and playing the game for over 6 hours, it's pretty much spot on. Luckily I'm still having fun and don't have a problem with following a scrappy text adventure given out by static puppets.

I avoided most of the grind for inventory space by duping my gold and plutonium cargo a bunch of time. With 34 slots available I can enjoy the game without continuously having to decide what to delete to find out I need it 5 minutes later. Sadly that grave glitch is the most interesting I have found so far :/ I wonder how long grinding for more words of the Gek language will be fun.

Oh well, it's a work in progress and I'm sure I'll find more interesting things later.

I think you don't understand the character he is representing honestly, and most of those "trashing" has been directed to developers and companies that were doing questionable things.

While I may not agree with him a lot of times, I can see that under that asshole mask of the character he is representing, he usually has very good arguments to support his pov and he is overall a smart and valuable critic for the industry.

The review score doesn't surprise me.  I guessed a 65 avg.  It's going to be one of those exclusives this gen that gets either absolute hate or love like some of the others.  

I own the game and so far I enjoy it but I can't even come up with my own score as I've barely scratched the surface of the game.  It's massive.

1 - he may very well be right (if you don`t like collect-a-ton type games)

2 - You hae to be really dumb to reach this way to a game review... but who is surprised by these things anymore?

Their opinion is that his site is shite and worth ddos'ing I guess, their entitled to that opinion just the same.

Still have yet to see anything about this game, is it basically Minecraft in space? sounds cool if that is the case will check it out probably later on down the line, no immediate shortage of games to play right now.

They are not entitled to put down a website because of that, not at all.

And no this game has way less interactivity than minecraft, other than the procedurally generated terrain I don't think they have much in common.

Someone who aims to be controversial as Jim Sterling would like to be I'm shocked that his site isn't slightly protected against LOIC and other rubbish tools.

And I just heard there was mining elements from various planets to unlock things in no mans sky, like I said didn't read too much into it, want to be finding it all out fresh when I pick up a copy of it.
