As one of the 4 people that actually liked NMS on release day, the past years have just been a constant stream of W's

Looking back at all this, No Man’s Sky really did have quite an impact on the gaming industry.

It revived the space exploration genre, advanced procedural generation in 3D environments to the next level, and taught people a lesson about the dangers of pre-ordering and backing early access games.
Aside from all that, it’s a programming technical marvel that it can run on so many platforms now (PC, Xbox, PS4/5 of course, but ALSO Linux, MacOS, Steam Deck AND Nintendo Switch!).

All from an indie team in the British Isles.

Their dedication wins my heart with every update. Hopefully they keep going, this can definitely be the best space game ever if they keep up

Iceberg idea: Polo is on the anomaly because he's the last surviving First Spawn. Coincidentally he's also the only one who isn't evil.
Also the Vy'Keen are a younger species given how little they're mentioned by the other two's monoliths.

As an autistic man myself, I sympathize with Sean. Pressure is not kind to us. He's worked very hard to make up for it, and I've been with it since it dropped. He didn't have to go this hard. Most certainly not for free.

Anyone who bought NMS seven years ago has nothing to lose by giving it another go.
Yes, we all were suckered into paying a AAA price for an unfinished game, but seriously have a look at what our money has paid for.
You now own a game that's way more than anything you were expecting prelaunch, and there's no end in sight to the roll-out of new content.
I reinstalled it a couple of days before the recent Echoes update (had no idea it was coming) and I've absolutely no regrets.
I'm coming around to forgiving Murray for being a lying twat, because NMS is a stupendously brilliant game now.

[The.Ronin.Kuzuri]

It may be blasphemous to say, but I've basically playing it on easy mode and its been an amazing experience being able to explore endlessly without worrying myself about resource management

This was great. As one of the people who played NMS at launch and continues to play to this day, I remember so much of what you showed in this video. I frequently think about how much I miss the old towers of metal. I know they were less "natural" in appearance, but there was something so... zen... about carving those big towers, taking different approaches to each, sometimes even sheltering within them during storms while continuing to carve away at the metal surrouding you. It was honestly one of my favorite things to do in the game.

I also wish the devs would put more focus on planet variety for us old school explorers. Maybe it's because I was one of the 1% who actually loved the game at launch, but NMS to me will always be a game about solitary exploration within an immense universe. The new stuff they've added is great, but I still spend most of my time wandering around, getting distracted, and taking in the occasional vista. Anything that enhances that experience would make my year, to be sure.

In any case, great job with the video. I appreciate the walk down memory lane.

18:25 I remember this so clearly, new players have no idea how much finding Diplos meant to the NMS community😂

[TheMoonShepard]

21:22 There was something about the Pathfinder Era of No Man's Sky that I absolutely loved, and its what I miss the most out of anything

The whole colourful aesthetic of the game was still intact, the planets wildly varied and you couldn't just tell what you're gonna get by looking at one from space.

I like what we have now, and are grateful for it, but that era was something else, alongside whatever improvements they give it.

Omg tier 3 got me in the nostalgia feels. I miss hiridium pillars. The arches! Plutonium!!! And T9. Oh those were the days.

[eternaldarkness]

Heridium Pillars...
I was stuck on my spawn planet (Day1) for an extra hour scanning every damn pebble looking for Heridium!! I was so pissed. Then...

By accident, happened to scan one of the hundreds of rock pillars surrounding me... (they didn't look like metal at all, they looked like the environment)
Not sure if I felt more relieved, or foolish at that moment.

I've just recently started playing NMS after buying it in 2016 and putting it down immediately... I've since put 60+ hours in, in two or so weeks. I'm so hooked, and super impressed at what the team was able to build!! The story is absolutely wild to me and can't wait to keep exploring all the books and crannies of the different galaxies for hundreds of hours to come 😎 awesome video!!

[sunnybunny]

WOW - I'm a big LoreNut and watching this video was like a kiss of fresh air. I wanted to say thank you - because of what you have been putting out I reinstalled NMS 3 days ago and am enjoying it again. Keep up the good work *hugs*

[marwoodmckenzie]

I never thought I’d get a video as good as this. I was wrong

Watching NMS go from bare bones nothing to one of the biggest sci fi games out there to date was like watching a kid growing up. Seeing NMS Next update get teased was absolutely awesome and to be honest i really do kinda miss the early first person days of the game (playing the very first iteration on Christmas Day was a blast aha) but im glad its come so far, better late than never i suppose. As someone who played this game on and off ever since it first came out, i really gotta get back into it and give it another good go. I hope Starfield can evolve like this because i love sci fi to death and there’s nothing i hate more than wasted potential. No signs of slowing down, so proud of Hello Games. Brilliant video 💙

Just started watching this video, and I don't know if this is mentioned, but if you look you'll find a log saying "There is a world in the great void where all things are made of razors and glass. Pity anything of simple, soft flesh that goes there. The glass is thirsty. It is brittle and crystalline, and so very beautiful to behold - but it must drink. You will go there and you will forget my warning. Then it will cut you with an edge so fine that you will feel no pain, and only as your life gushes out to dampen the cracked and broken landscape will this come back to you. Too late. Too late." So uh- Don't go to the dimension of glass.

I played this game when it first released for a few weeks and honestly had a lot of fun cuz all I knew was it was a space game, I completely forgot about all this other stuff about limited slots for things. The thing I do remember was warping was the hardest thing in the world and anytime I landed anywhere I would get stranded cuz my launch fuel would be dead in 2 seconds. Coming back to it now I’m having a lot more fun and honestly it’s one of my favourite games

[VAinScotland]

So much nostalgia in 1 video. I was one of those, day 1 pre-order players who expected one thing and got a steaming pile. Played long enough to go to the centre of the galaxy and then really didn't pick it back up for about 3 years. I do remember some of the things here fondly but other also bring back that feeling of disappointment with the state of the game at launch. like NMSPTSD

Any, great video dude.

As a month 1 player (I bought it late, not day one) I am happy to see that the game is so much better, I loved the game at its worst and now I play it in VR exclusively at its best… I miss some of the old places I found in the original game, but now there’s so much more potential.❤
