It's a much much better game than at launch that's for damn but i think it was too late and word of mouth probably just shut sales down and even now it's still $60 .

No Mans Sky fictional turnaround is a groupthink lie spread throughout the gaming echo chamber that the game had some great turnaround that other games should look at it when trying to “fix” these games to find success. Comparing it to games that have always been more successful than it to begin with.
It’s a great example at failure when it has no players

I think you are missing the point, nobody is referring to its popularity. Plus why would your enjoyment of the game even be affected by ita popularity?
Also who is even talking about No Mans Sky that this is even relevant? Lol

its popularity is what supports the amount of content it will get, that it needs... and not going out of business while trying to make it all. Its popularity is the most accurate metric if people actually think it’s good or not... because they would actually be playing it. Not... not playing it.
Ark is a bigger success story.

It was a dumpster fire. Now it's just in the dumpster. Congrats to the game I guess.

I played and enjoyed vanilla NMS as a single-player affair. Sorry to people who needed the multiplayer mode to get their enjoyment out of it.
The "turnaround" probably refers to the overhaul of the game. It's very different now.

No mans sky actually adds NEW content rather than recycling the same old shit like Destiny 2.
It has become really plain that all you care about a game are the number of people playing it rather than the quality of its content.
Go enjoy that stupid shit you like and stop worrying about the stupid shit other people like.

Good try. Still fail tho. Destiny is legitimately a great game.
when every game from fallout to anthem has the youtube echo chamber citing no mans sky on how to turnaround a game is false.
final fantasy has done it. No mans sky has not.

Fail at what? What exactly is your point? You’re behaving like an imbecile in this thread and you don’t even realize it.

What a dumb thread. NMS is absolutely one of the greatest turnarounds in gaming. If NMS was from a major publisher it would have been dumped like a turd. Instead, HG has spent years updating and adding content at no additional cost to the consumer. They have made right with the game in my book.

And that’s just pr.
The results of it is a title that players still did not embrace.
so any time someone wants to say that and use it as an example of what x game should do to make things right... no, they should not.

What PR? They have only announced when they had some new content or updates to the game. The game is what it is, and many people enjoy it.

they’ve done right to fix their brand. That is indeed commendable.
You won’t see me ripping on the quality of the game or what enjoyment it offers its players.
However, with all their effort put into improving their vision for the game... which is intended to continuously be built on... It needs the players to do so and to do so all the time.
they’ve yet to accomplish that so I can’t say it’s the example at a turn around and finding success.

Liking and quoting for truth. The numbers don’t matter. The improvements to the game do, and that’s what people mean by ‘doing a NMS’.

ff14 isn’t really in my criteria... I’m not pining for the game but subscriber counts are probably still strong vs its Modern competitors.

But, technically you’re still wrong OP. It does see a bump in player count every time a new major update happens. If the game was abandoned like you claim, you wouldn’t see a bump at all.
Furthermore, putting it on the same level as FF14 in terms of online presence is a bit apples and oranges. FF14 is an mmo that people pay an online subscription for. NMS is not quite the same thing. It’s... kind of it’s own thing.

What? Read your own OP. You said that NMS can't be called a turnaround the way FF14 can because NMS isn't "charting anywhere."
Where is FF14 "charting?"

I never shit on the game anywhere. I just find it to be a flawed example.
All these games improve. All these developers try to rework and continue to build on them. From Destiny, Warframe, rust, pubg, etc... That’s the point of a “live-service” game. They improve in time with player feedback.
Look at any recent anthem thread, anywhere... pull a no mans sky is a common response...
And still not have the player base needed? The game will just die
Yeah, but no mans sky is not a live service game, and they improved the game massively

the game still sucks (imo) but i really can't deny how much it has improved since launch. i will give Hello Games credit where it is due. they could've ran for the hills with bags full of money and never be heard from again but instead they have stuck by their game and improved it. they also did this without asking for any money. all the patches have been free. with the amount of changes and new content some of those patches included many others would have charged for it.

But No Man’s Sky doesn’t rely on player base nearly as much as some of these other games.
I think what they mean is a game that devs didn’t give up on despite strong negative backlash from the community. Player count DID go way up after the first two big updates. But you’re talking about a game that is not that strong on the MMO stuff that came out like what 3 years ago now?
Its clear it keeps getting brought as an example of added content and value long after people thought it was dead.

You've been able to buy it from a few months after launch to today for about $15 second hand everywhere. Great game, so much fun and content and enjoyment playing multiplayer

What? Do you even know what you're saying. The main narrative of No Mans Sky's turnaround what the fact that THE GAME ITSELF dramatically improved....aka the playing experience became more of what was initially promised (and then some). How that is supposed to be tied in to popularity and sales.......baffles me. You missed your shot this time bud.

If anything No Man's Sky's turnaround is much more impressive than a massive company like Square botching the launch of a mainline game in their biggest franchise. A tiny studio fixed pretty much all the issues and could've stopped there but then goes ahead and throws in VR mode, and it's all free. OP needs to find another cloud to yell at.

Can't think of many games that dropped a whole new mode that allows you to play the entire game in VR, they could have easily charged for the VR but they gave it away for free. I never played the vanilla NMS as i jumped on at the beyond update point but the content they added was fantastic, i can totally see why people congratulate them because the VR mode alone is a whole game in itself and been inside a ship in VR as you fly around space landing on planets is amazing.
As for final fantasy after the clusterfuck of 13 i'll never ever touch another one.
