GS News - No Man’s Sky Completed In 30 Hours; HTC Vive Brexit Price Hike!

@sammax: You might be wrong in the way you're thinking of a universe in the game. I'm not 100% sure myself but from what I am reading on reddit it sounds like while there are certainly multiple galaxies there actually is no "universe". It sounds like you play through a galaxy by reaching its center at which point you have "completed" that galaxy, and then you can start in a new galaxy and do it all over again, but you don't actually reach the center of the universe. People seem to be saying that each new galaxy is kind of like starting a new game, or new game+, that kinda thing. Here are some quotes from the leak player:

"There is no concept of universe in the game, but there are multiple galaxies."

"Because people are asking if I've "made it to the center of the universe." That's a specific thing, a specific goal. And no, I haven't, because it doesn't exist. The game doesn't check for a universe. It's not something you can hope to do in the game. So why use the term? It doesn't exist in NMS"

"But the universe is never directly referenced so in discussing the game, there's no point in using the term. The hierarchy as far as the game is concerned ends with Galaxy."

"That video is over a year old. The term is not used, so there's no point in bringing it up. You will never "Reach the center of the Universe," it's not a thing that exists in the game."

"I never said there wasn't multiple galaxies, and I understand that's supposed to MEAN = Universe, but I am saying the term "universe" is never used in the game, it does not exist, the galaxies are not connected in that regard in any way whatsoever. Make of that what you will."

"There is no such thing as a Universe in this game. What you see representing the "Center" is a Galaxy."

It goes on an on, it seems a lot of people think of it the same way as you but the person playing the leak cannot find any indication of a universe. Another point, the first thing I did after reading your comments was go to Hello Games and Sean Murray's twitters, and neither has responded.

So we won't know for sure until the masses get their hands on it, but I just wanted to point out that while you and many others, myself included, interpreted the game "world" as one big universe the person playing the leak is not seeing it in the game.

@sammax: The most likely scenario is that he did actually reach the end game but they used the incorrect term here. There is no grand conspiracy lie. I hope you aren't too disappointed when you get your hands on the game for yourself.

@sammax: Thanks for this, yet another let down from Gamespot :(

@sammax: doesn't it generate a new universe on each new game?

@Pawfalcon: See my post above - you're okay, no buzzkill, just a repeated lie!
