Support NeoGAF

[Horse Armour]

Just saw this on Reddit. I wonder what the PS4 numbers are looking like considering it was the second biggest PS4 launch after Uncharted 4.

 

[DorkyMohr]

How's anyone gonna find each other??

 

[Gamezone]

Not surprised. No reason to keep playing this.

 

[Savinowned]

 

[toastyToast]

is that some kind of record?

 

[Yukinari]

Insert Dunkey and Crowbcat videos here.

 

[KingSnake]

Procedurally generated universe, years of entertainment. Magic.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Is there a chart over time? Would be curious how quick it fell

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

How's anyone gonna find each other??

I knew something like this would be the first post but I still laughed.

 

[VertPin]

So, is Sean Murray or anyone from Hello Games ever going to resurface? I can't believe there hasn't been a statement after all their lies.

 

[B_Bech]

I guess they found all the planets or something. *shrugs*

 

[KingSnake]

How's anyone gonna find each other??

Finally Sean's statements about multiplayer make sense now.

 

[Leafhopper]

How's anyone gonna find each other??

Lol

 

[old]

I don't see the dev supporting this game much longer if the numbers are that low. Looks like all of those promised features might end up in NMS 2.

 

[3rdamention]

Are we going to get these threads every time more people drop this game? Seems like I have seen this thread a couple of times already.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Yup!

 

[idonteven]

thats pretty painfull

 

[Bedlam]

How's anyone gonna find each other??

Basically, the chances are getting slimmer.

 

[Qassim]

Pretty incredible drop!

 

[mrmickfran]

Yup!

LOL

 

[pretty done]

From 200k+ to Killzone Shadow Fall numbers in just five weeks. Ouch

Well deserved though

 

[J_Viper]

At least Battleborn has company now

 

[enzo_gt]

Not surprising for one of the most repetitive full-price games in recent memory.

Have no real desire to go back to it and it's grind myself.

 

[Deadstar]

I'm personally waiting to see what content they add in the next patch before I jump back in.

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

That's expected. No reason to keep playing this after a while.

 

[Xamtheking]

Now I'm interested to see if there is a chart like that for OG Evolve

 

[TheSpoiler]

At least Battleborn has company now

Jesus.

 

[Fabtacular]

Infinite worlds, infinite possibilities, and about a dozen or so hours of playtime.

 

[Yukinari]

Murray hasent said anything since august 18th, he aint coming back. If he does hes only going to stir more shit.

 

[Carlius]

its more baffling when you see the initial number. 212k meaning it sold a lot, but then it dropped to 140k max peak in the second day, meaning the refunds were even stronger than this dive.

 

[Blam]

This is how you don't keep your game alive.

They literally can post small bug fixes, but nope. They've gone full dark.

There's no profit in them talking about it at this point. What could they possibly say to make people feel better? "We're sorry that we may have mislead you, but we're going to make good on all those promises over the next six months!" That's sure as hell not going to happen.

I'd bet Hello Games is going to quietly drift away in the next year, and they'll be more than happy to do that with all their profits. Maybe they'll resurface again when they've got a new game they want to hock and we'll get to see whether or not the gaming audience has a long enough memory for any of this to matter.

To the OP; after I was denied my refund on Steam, I thought about going back to it for a bit to give it another shot. But all I could think of was what a shell the game was and how playing it would probably just remind me of the time I was wasting. I haven't played it again since that first week.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I wonder who'll be the last NMS player. That lucky person will have an entire galaxy to name, by themselves.

 

[Kickz]

No Man's Sky indeed

 

[Saint of Killers]

Looks like all those promised features might go unplayed. I mean, I know I wouldn't a buy a NMS 2 if they failed to support the first one with free content updates.

And that's coming from someone who was looking forward to NMS, and even enjoyed playing it for a few weeks.

bank robbers dont go back to the bank they robbed after, why start talking to the customers he robbed?

Spoiler

i just triggered people

 

[AmuroChan]

How does that compare to the typical single-player game?

 

[amodelmerol]

More than the loss of gamers I wonder how many of them managed to get a refund.

I didn't

 

[SwiftDeath]

Yup!

Wow -82% in the last month. How long has it even been out?

 

[Roto Prime]

There went the dream of having every single planet named....

 

[Maxinas]

Wow -82% in the last month. How long has it even been out?

About a month and 2 weeks.

 

[Nzyme32]

Fastest and largest drop I think I've on Steam. Impressive, deserved, earned...

 

[brau]

At least Sean should be just as amazed at the amount dropped as he was with the initial numbers.

Can't wait to see those posts that defend this saying its exactly what they expected. People should stop hating on the game. lol.

 

[RPGamer92]

I guess it really is No Man's Sky.

 

[AmuroChan]

Wow -82% in the last month. How long has it even been out?

Came out August 12 on PC.

 

[EVO]

What's the mod scene like? Have they abandoned it too?

 

[Gravemind IV]

At least Battleborn has company now

He's dead, Jim!

 

[BorkBork]

How does this drop compare to other single player games?

This is how you don't keep your game alive.

They literally can post small bug fixes, but nope. They've gone full dark.

But they are doing bug fixes regularly. Just no new content, explanations, or apologies.

 

[dracula_x]

Pretty incredible drop!

it's not that different if you compare to many other games on Steam.
