This is why you don't preorder or buy on the first day of release without being able to read reviews. Honestly, no sympathy for the consumers who probably should have known better.

 

[Bryan^H]

Yeah, because expecting a game to be playable when it arrives in stores is too much to ask these days.

 

[Morgan Jolley]

Apparently, it is. This is extremely common now.

Also, I mean, being playable and not crashing isn't the same as being good. A lot of hugely hyped games come out to mediocre reviews and pissed off gamers who preordered. The only time you should preorder and buy on release is when you can read reviews ahead of time.

Broken games are far too common. It's really ridiculous. I pretty much expect the games to not work right for the first month. It's the ones still broken years later that stick in my craw.

 

[Sam Posten]

Cruel, Morgan, Cruel. Kick me when I'm down. And yes, my pre-purchase made me a hypocrite and I fully deserve it.

 

[Jeff Cooper]

This is hilarious...

Patch didn't seem to help, it did that wacky sound turn off thing. I then turned off and on my receiver and somehow that worked. But now I'm forced to play in a minimized screen. I played for 2 hours or so, got off planet, figured out how to get to a space station in same system, they wouldnt let me in there without some kind of pass, so I flew down to a big ass blue green planet and explored around. A big laggy in places but playable.

 

[Sam Posten]

Here's a video showing NMS dicking with my sound. I launch FO4 first to show you that every other game keeps a stable connection to my receiver. As soon as I start NMS it loses sync and the receiver goes into a state where it's confused and defaults to stereo over HDMI but can't play anything. Alt tabbing it out doesnt fix it today like it did yesterday.

Game is literally unplayable for me.

Seems Sony are making it very difficult to get a refund and if you do you can't buy it again at a later date.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-08-19-no-mans-sky-refund-sony

Blastiel spoke with a PlayStation customer support rep called Noah to ask for a refund. He says he was told that he was eligible for a refund, but if he did get one, he'd never be able to play No Man's Sky again.

"The practice Sony is employing is a bit underhanded, to say the least," Blastiel said.

"I was told I couldn't re-buy it off the store digitally, and I couldn't buy a physical copy because whatever system they employ in the background wouldn't let me run it. They delete the license from your account, and that seems to put a block on it.

 

[Clinton McClure]

Seems like Sony is shooting themselves in the foot by not allowing a different license to be sold to the same person.

 

[Josh Dial]

That linked article quotes an official response from Sony: apparently you can re-buy and re-play the game after a refund, despite what the support personnel advised.

 

[Sam Posten]

Today's PC patch fixed my sound issue. I can now play as intended.

Wow. I was looking at this game and Over watch, but decided to hold off on buying either one. After reading this thread I'm glad I did. This game looks like it sucks ass on an immense scale. Thankfully, I did not spend 90 bucks on this pile of dog s**.

Anybody who spent their hard earned cash on this thing has my sympathy.

 

[Brandon Conway]

I've enjoyed it a ton. Then again I didn't expect it to bring me to Jesus, or pipe euphoria into my brain for all eternity, either.

 

[Lord Dalek]

Rich and Jack from RLM expound on how badly made, unfun, and ultimately pointless No Man's Sky is:

I don't expect euphoria or a religious experience either, but for 90 bucks I would expect a game to not be full of console crashing bugs and terrible game mechanics.

Glad you were able to enjoy the game though.

 

[Brandon Conway]

Who is spending $90? Its a $60 game

Also, I've put in ~30 hrs so far without a single crash, and I have no issue with any of the game mechanics. *shrugs*

In Canada the game is 79.95 not including sales taxes. Add another 12% to that price for taxes.
