It's been garbage for me forever. I can run things like Overwatch and whatever on high, but at like 85 percent cpu usage. Maybe my graphics card does the heavy lifting, I dunno. That cpu was a bad idea.

I checked archive.org and this what was written on July 21st https://web.archive.org/web/20160721191535/http://www.no-mans-sky.com/about/, PC and PS4 versions were to be released at the same date.
It looks this change happened only recently.
I'm surprised no one caught that but it's better late than never, shame it's not getting released at the same time.
FX4300 is technically better than what's in the PS4, just bad by PC standards.
The game is available on GOG.

I guess I can wait if it's only a couple of days.

God fucking damnit.
I requested the 9th off work, and its to late for me to change it to the 12th. Fucking how many times are they going to delay this game?

Are you fucking kidding me.
The game will be DRM free, at the very least on GoG which mandates as such. It will likely be DRM free elsewhere as well
Certainly a possibility. Regardless, communication about anything on the PC version is practically nonexistent since the e3 before last

No skin off my nose since I'm out of the country the 3rd to 14th anyway.

They've been taking pre-orders on GOG... you think they'll just refund all those?

I'll just wait for the PC version then.
Maybe I'll get lucky and run this shit on low.
That isn't necessarily definitive proof as that has to be changed separately, and I believe release dates have to even be set up through Valve.

Same, I want details on graphical options like draw distance. Regardless, the sudden change in release date is absolute bullshit. They really need to just lock down a date and stick to it especially when this brief delay buys them enough time to get practically nothing done in the world of game design.
So hard to distinguish parody from real, but misplaced anger these days.

I'm not personally bothered myself actually as it won't affect me, I'm free on the 9th and 12th, but when you look at this thread and see people have taken days off for it you can't help but want more clarity. I do think it's bullshit they change dates so late when people may actually take a day off such as people often do for a film they're extremely excited for and I don't think it's misplaced anger, or even anger to be against it. I don't doubt they have their reasons, but this stuff should be sorted out well in advance so it doesn't come back on the customer, especially those dedicated enough to take time off.
I should probably mention that I'm not directly pointing the finger at HG either, but whoever is responsible for the relatively last minute change.
Valve doesn't set the release dates, the devs or pubs have complete control outside of weekend releases. NMS was also late to update the original delay
I've been hearing some differing responses from devs lately.
Yes. As I understood it, Europe gets it one day later than US, and Aus is in that. It was always going to be a day later, and add on the PC delay or whatever you want to call it, you get the 11th, two days after the PS4 US launch.
My words were harsher than what I meant. I very rarely buy based on hype, especially after the last few years of AAA failures. I want this to be as good as it's been hyped up to be.

Sometimes bugs are discovered.
I canceled my pre-order after the initial delay because I'm back to work when it actually comes out now. Maybe it'll be 15-20% off by Christmas. I feel bad for the people that took time off of work to play this on release day because I've done the same thing for other games in the past.

Probably the same reason he held off addressing it last delay. Back end politics and legal shit.
PS4 version is/has already shown up at retail from what Im seeing though
We need a superformula to figure it out

I maintain, especially in light of seeing the before and after text, that someone just fucked up when adding the worldwide date (12th) to the list and created a sentence which now implies both a delay on PC, and the game not coming to PS4 worldwide at all.

Agreed. Honestly I had a good open communication with HG for a great amount of time and then it fucking flatlined in the past couple weeks. It just upped and froze as we got closer.

Unless you're planning on playing nonstop, it'll be everywhere before you get there regardless of release dates, because someone, somewhere, *is* going to be that guy playing nonstop.

It's best to wait and see how the game performs on PC, I'm sure it will be fine.
That's an extreme exaggeration, the FX4300 is fine, it'll run every game out there with ease, you just shouldn't expect it to outpace console frame-rates significantly in CPU bound games.
One of my rigs with a Phenom II X4 965 at 4GHz from over 5 years ago could run GTA 5 above console quality settings while averaging around 40+ fps.
