There aren't any cities. Sean Murray has said the closest thing would be a sci-fi version of a wild west frontier ala Star Wars episodes IV, V and VI.

Well, they'd either have to be premade cities copy and pasted all over or procedural cities. Given the fact that actual cities on earth sometimes don't have logical design choices, I doubt a procedural city will fare any better, but I'd love to see it, and it could just be chalked up to being "alien" if streets, buildings, etc. all collide into jumbled messes.
How long has he been playing?

Not sure.

Most likely he hasn't started yet.
I wouldn't worry about it, he's not enjoying himself by the looks of it. Fear not though, he said he will endure the game to justify the purchase. _(ツ

Hopefully people who play on high-end PCs won't have to deal with PS4-level visuals.

This guy sounds bitter, but he's saying the upgrades are additive, apparently.
You are correct. I guess it's just odd that he's not interested in exploring anything in the game he went out of his way to buy early. I get he wanted a multiplayer experience, and I can understand that Skyrim has a lot more in content that keeps players engaged, but he sounded miserable while playing it. I totally understand this might not be the game for him though and can understand where he's coming from.

For people wondering about some of the pop-in. It's been worse than that at times.

Dude sounds pretty jaded. He flips his shit every time any words pop on the screen and keeps complaining about how stupid all the ships look and stuff. Lol. Dont think he knew what he was getting into at all. Dude hates the game.
Ahh...so this is the first time seeing NMS. That is just the way the game generates the worlds.
I can see not liking it, but I completely understand why it is the way it is. If it bothers people too much, just skip on the purchase or get the game on sale.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Oi that's quite the passive agressive post. Watching the stream he is exploring but he's not finding many interesting things. He also didn't go in expecting or necessarily wanting a heavily multiplayer experience.
That's literally what happened. It's getting even worse because now some in the stream chat are calling him an xbox fanboy. :|

This guy is also saying that the game crashing has only happened on the reddit leaker, that nobody else who has had the copy has crashed
interesting

That looks about normal for NMS. It was way worse earlier.
No, we've seen crashes in other streams.
Pretty sure that Big_Tiggles streamer crashed once on stream and talked about a previous crash. Nothing near the 20 the Reddit dude had.
Wow, fuck these people. I was using a program to watch the stream, partially to get rid of the buffering and partially to not having to interact with the chat. Was just hearing his responses, and could feel his frustration growing.

Of course, its Twitch chat.

Man y'all (and I mean in general, not just this thread I guess) cannot get this bent out of shape over a random streamer not liking the game. I am not looking forward to review thread time
It's going to be a madhouse!
Yeah, mostly he started off fairly balanced. Kept telling people it wasn't a bad game, some people will really like it, just not for him. But then it ended up more like arguing with people and him trying to explain why it wasn't grabbing him.
I understand the 20/60 dollar question in context. There are games I'd buy for 20 because they're not really my sort of thing but I'll give them a try anyway.
The one criticism I think is legitimate all round is the difficulty. There should at least be an option for a harder mode, even if it's the option to start a more extreme galaxy. The game mechanics seem suited for it and I clearly remember interviews with Sean where there was a big focus on survival, and how he was stressing "this isn't an ambient experience".
This is totally an ambient experience. It's really weird...

Clearest stream yet, but the guy is pretty vocal about not liking the game very much.
I really hope there is a harder mode :/ I saw quite a bit of streams so far, and nobody was ever close of dying.
Which creatures? Some of them look fucking amazing and some look rough which is fine.
Like this one blends really well together and I've seen a lot more than really bad ones
What if the insanity of the No Mans Sky was the game all along. Every

Not that we know, but you can feed them and they will bring you nice treats.
Very nice. Hope I can pets them.

Lol. If the game doesnt let you, you can always pretend.
What's that happy face supposed to be?Which creatures? Some of them look fucking amazing and some look rough which is fine.

Hi, do you know if these creatures you can feed can be domesticated? Can you feed all creatures? Can you go fishing?

I'm not really sure I'd say that blends together well. It just looks like a fucked up stegosaurus. I've seen some pretty cool stuff though. That's procedural for you!
After you feed them with wathever food their organism processes, they get a happy smiley face on them. On a stream I watched, the creature would prance around happy, and evenn brought the player a health pack it found lying around. I confess, it was cute as hell.
I know I'll be perfectly fine with drifting round the galaxy exploring stuff leisurely for many hours, but I know people would like more of a challenge, even myself from time to time. It just seems weird that it's quite so easy after some of the interviews. Even some of the journalists' impressions earlier this year suggested something tougher.
I guess that's not hard to add if people want it, but I don't get why it's not like that on the disk. I mean even Minecraft has challenging play modes.
Could this be one of the balancing things Sean and the team was mentioning? He was quite vocal about the game being challenging and exploring weird places mean more because it was hard to get there.

If an animal going to retrieve a snacky poo for you isnt domesticated, I'll be a monkeys uncle. You can kill fish which is esetially fishing.
