No Man's Sky PC and PS4 Patches Out Now [UPDATE]

@jyml8582: The fact they came up with the algorithms is impressive though.

@jyml8582: This is typical new-age gamer bullshit! You have no idea what was implemented in order to achieve what they did for such a small team. ALL the assets in the game had to be created just like any other game; textures had to be made, all the props for the flora and fauna also had to be made and that all had to be implemented into the algorithm. As well as the basic A.I. the game uses and all the gameplay elements also ALL had to be coded to work. The game isn't just plug in this superformula and voila we have our game....it took WORK....like 3 years of non-stop work!!

@jyml8582: show us your algorithm then? you say they did shit, well, you should then be showing us yours.... talk is easy

@jyml8582: The algorithm is only just that: an algorithm. It produces NOTHING without the framework of the game that's built around it. The amount of work done by this team is incredible, whether you want to see it that way or not. Software engineering and game development as well are incredibly difficult jobs that require years of intense work that might not ever pay off. In this case, it did. In a huge way. Were there features cut? Of course. Did Sean Murray get ahead of himself and stoke the fires too frequently. Absolutely. This still doesn't detract from the immense amount of work the team did.

@NbAlIvEr10000: Yes , it is noticably smoother on PC when you fly low over a planet surface. The lowest frame rate i am getting in 1440p on 980ti with FXAA is 55 fps , average is 75-80 fps. Before it had some severe drops at times. I can't say everyone's experience will be equal though but my actual PC aside from SSD and graphics card is 6 years old processor wise so you don't need much in that regard to run the game.

@cheechdafif: I understand that. But the point is that he promised some things which in themselves made it a lot easier for people to decide to spend top dollar in a game and then, after everyone went ahead and bought the game, he just said the opposite. Just like that.

I for one had some doubts at first on whether to buy this or wait for a discount, and after reading some of his promises my mind was actually eased so I bought it. Now I think I made the wrong choice and probably should have waited.

The problem with Sean is that he always had this "nice guy" attitude, and he gained a lot of trust from the gamers that way, because people were convinced that he was just this normal guy "reaching for the stars" and attempting to do something new for the fan base and saying that if people spend so much for a game they not should have to pay for. free DLC. Now we know he is just another Molyneux.

Right now this talk about being "naive" is just him playing his "nice guy" card again, trying to sell the image that he is just a simple guy way over his head and that he is doing the best he can. It's just like saying "aw shucks about that... that was not I wanted to say... friends?" And we're supposed to forgive that and find some kind of excuses just like the ones you're making.

The fact however is that he lied man. He misled consumers and that is not the way to do business. And just acting like a kid or blinking your eyes won't do. Naive? Please.

He should be more respectful and give some more explanations. I'm positive that if this were EA people would not be as easily convinced. But with EA at least everyone knows what to expect.

Look, I'm not saying the game is not good. I am actualy enjoying it. But at the moment I just think that I could have just as well waited a few months and then buy it for less and not miss out on anything.

Look at it this way: what if a year from now you can buy this for the same price that it is now BUT with all the DLC which would make this a complete game? Would you then not feel cheated for having spent the same amount of money for an incomplete game and still have to buy the DLC?

@asmoddeuss: Not really any point in mentioning what others have already said. However the game is still great and it's a shame people are so pissed off at what is not there that they miss the beauty that is there now.

@NbAlIvEr10000: huge amounts of pop-in, screen tearing, drops in fps bringing the game to a crawl. Hasn't really crashed for me even before the patch unless I try to warp or go through a black hole. It pretty much runs exactly how it always has since day one for me. It'd be nice to have some patch notes cause I honestly don't see any difference.

@ExoticCharm: I have played 7 Days to Die since it was released in June on PS4. I play split-screen with my sister so game sessions can get pretty long. As stated, I never experienced a crash. I have lost game saves (85 days), lag, and a host of other problems with 7 Days to Die.

@asmoddeuss: If it was the one I mentioned above from a couple days ago, then yes. My copy was purchased off GOG and the post of the build was posted from a guy using the same service.

@93ChevyNut: me no words good very. thank you.

@mattcake: Yeah 4 x SSAA is killing my 980ti in 1440p i get an average of 30 fps.

I don't class that as acceptable on 144 hz screen so FXAA jumps it up to 75-80 fps on average.

@mattcake: Yeah, after playing a while with FXAA I started to notice that it looked the same as before.

I found a way around the 30fps cap though. Turn on adaptive vsync and the cap goes away. With SSAA on I still get 50+ fps. No idea why they would enforce such a cap. If someone wanted 30fps they would select it in the options.
