Can you just stop this nonsense please? Back it up with facts and links or stop it.
I doubt it. Thats what people wanted the game to be. A massive galaxy full of stuff to learn and explore - black holes, hurricanes, blizzards, bases to explore, space combat and so on. It seems that the game is just a lite-exploration game. You collect resources, upgrade shit, travel to another planet. Repeat x 100.

So people like you can carry on ruin threads like this? No chance mate. I'll keep explaining for as long as I'm here.

Those people will just leave and you will never hear from them again. Main thread better be on lockdown.
Unless the leaker is somehow playing the game incredibly wrong or is lying, it sounds like the "center" is in the galaxies and just transports you to new galaxies. There's no goal that the leaker knows of that will take hundreds of hours. It could be a surprise 10 galaxies in I guess? haha

Stop, man. If that's what you're theorizing that's all well and good, but you can't keep passing your speculation off like this as fact.

How am I ruining the thread. Go through my contributions to this thread, limited to the last page, and point that out for me. All I'm doing is saying you are passing off your theories as facts. You do know know for certain your theory about the center of the universe just like you are not an authority on how Sean Murray wants to game to be played.
I'm not seeing may people saying there is no universe. I'm seeing people calling out the assumption that there is one to be only a theory.

It's a universe made up of many linked galaxies. It's what Sean has been coy about and it's what this guy has said, unless Sean was lying about it being a universe.

No he said once you get to the centre of the galaxy, the one you start in, you find the big secret. There are other galaxies, but they are not linked.

It's no longer a theory, it's been verified by the guy playing the game. Sean said it would get stranger as you get closer to the centre of the universe. So who's lying Sean Murray or the guy who's on his second galaxy?
Just like the game itself, the next galaxy doesn't really exist. It's seeded on reaching the centre of the first galaxy. It's like a string of pearls if you will but one pearl is added and the other is taken away as you progress through the universe. During this journey the algorithm will take more liberties as Sean has said.
Well damn that's a bit disappointing to hear. Not gonna drop 60 euros on this if that's the case. Any games out now that would scratch that sort of itch? Does Elite: Dangerous have anything like that?
No one is denying that there are multiple galaxies at this point. People calling you out for extrapolating away from that and presenting it as fact. This is misleading and not cool.
You already asked this question and I already answered it.
But nice deflection anyway from finding where in this thread I was attempting to ruin anything. You just assumed that because I took issue with passing your theories off as fact that I was here to troll or something. That's insulting, and frankly indicative of the fact that you are too involved with this emotionally. You need to take a step back.

So you're just going to believe a random dude over the creator of the game. These comments like this are just bizarre.
I'm on #TeamNoUniverse.
Lol this thread is amazing, keep it up folks. This will keep me entertained until the game comes out.
On a more serious note, if the game has a center of the universe, why wouldn't the game tell you about this? I mean, what's the point? Is it all just one big easter egg for those few willing to put in hours upon hours of exploration? If so, cool, but I doubt many would be willing to do that - especially if we're talking hundreds of hours.

What? The leaker stated he visited about 40-50 planets. Time spent on planets counts towards the hundreds of hours?
What changed?
Here's the real problem:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. This is not a real scientific concept. Based on what we know, the (real life) Universe has no center. Every single point of the Universe is the center (consequence of the Big Bang). This is assuming No Man's Sky is trying to stay accurate to concepts found in Cosmology.

I expect mass suicide with the way some people are acting.
The way they've marketed the game has lead to this though.
Hope we get an alright game by the end of all this crap.
I want to believe you. I'm with you man. Lets ride together to that center, but, can you post the source of this guy (not Sean) telling? Because I'm going full Scientific Method right here now. I want that this becomes a fact so I need everything that is intended to disprove it.
I dont think so. The idea a lot of people have about NMS is just wrong. To create something as big as what I listed you would need a HUGE budget. Star Citizen is supposed to address some of this stuff, but even with millions and millions of dollars the game is still in alpha. I would recommend Subnautica and The Long Dark. The first one only has one world (mostly underwater) but you also explore it, collect resources and stuff. The Long Dark doesn´t have a random world - it´s handmade - but it has a nice crafting component to create items, it has blizzards, wildlife that kill you... pretty cool game.
Sony and Hello Games should have been more clear in some aspects of the game, I agree. But they saw that the mystery was actually good for them, creating a massive amount of hype, so they just shut up, probably knowing their project is way, way smaller than what a lot of people actually think it is.

I don't see why it's so incredulous to believe somebody who seems to have paid a considerable amount of money and has spent a great deal of time providing detail on the game, which clearly delves deeper into some of the pre-release statements, who is playing the game because it's something he was curious about over somebody who has a clear bias towards presenting the game in the most positive light to encourage sales for whom the project is clearly a passion.
I agree with you that yes, the creator's comments are valuable, but to answer your question yes, I would put more weight in the word of somebody who has spent thirty-five hours playing the game and considerably more time detailing his experiences with the game after paying a considerable amount of money for that privilege over the creator of the game in the absence of any clear reason to doubt the legitimacy of what he is saying about his own experience with the game.
EDIT: And I should clarify that this isn't to say the creator's comments are something to just dismiss off-hand, they're not obviously, but there's a pretty clear implicit bias on the part of a game's creator (not even just this one in particular) in order to portray it in the most positive of lights.

Someone posted it here to prove my speculation was right. It could be anywhere now lol. He's on reddit though but be warned it's buried in what could be spoiler territory.

I have been pretty excited for the game but some things he has leaked is a bit disappointing. I assumed the 90% barren planets was accurate so now learning that every planet likely has life is a bummer for me. The fact he was able to max everything out fairly easily is an issue as well.
The glitches can be fixed so I'm not as concerned by those.
I still plan to get it day 1 but I have lowered my expectations a fair amount.

Come on people. How the fuck does it matter if the 18 Quintillion planets are organized into millions of galaxies or one giant galaxy? You are all being so fucking semantic about the definition of universe and galaxy is embarrassing. I'm really excited for this game, not because I think it's some Mass Effect on steroids, but because I love open ended space exploration and hard sci-fi.

Oh, yeah for sure. No matter what happens...they are getting those sales $$$
Not gonna lie, watching the side pretend anything more was shown or promised than what the leaker played is even better. Where's this massive disappointment coming from? Oh well.
Then you should find it, since if it was actually proof of anything that would stop everyone from pointing out that this is your theory. If you are referencing the interview I think you are referencing with Sean than he seems to use the word Galaxy and Universe interchangeably. For instance in response to the question of if it was possible to reach the center of the universe he said something along the lines of - yes and we want people to be impressed by hoe hard that would be we want people to be awed by the size of the Galaxy Map-.
As someone is going to buy the game I am disappointed by the ease of surviving and the commonness of life. Those two were definitely at least misrepresented.
If it took the leaker 35-40 hours to get to the center of a singular galaxy, in a star map that has 18 quintillion planets, why is it so wrong to assume that the "hundreds of hours" to complete is wrong or a lie?
In essence jumping from galaxy to galaxy makes sense as the way forward. You have to fit 18 quintillion planets in there somehow.

Have they confirmed if this game will support PSVR or not?
That's all I care about and probably will be the only thing that pushes this game above Deus Ex, Cuphead, Gears 4, FFXV and so many other titles competing for my time this year.

I hope there are some interested and twisted things within the core of planets like how I wanted Destiny to be at launch. But I got nothing, instead.

Yeah. And if the guy is telling the truth about things not changing as he neared the centre of the galaxy and Sean is telling the truth about things changing as you get closer to the centre of the universe, what other conclusion is there other than each galaxy being a stepping stone towards the centre of the universe and each galaxy is what changes incrementally from slightly different to vastly different?
I can understand people being weary of what I'm saying but I think an intelligent person would at least consider it a viable conclusion and not just dismiss it out of hand.
The problem is that there might not be a center on of the UNIVERSE. Just multiple galaxies.

It's a video game, if it wants a centre, it can have one.

Are people dismissing it out of hand. I've seen several people call it a theory. That doesn't mean it's wrong. It means it's unsubstantiated.
