No Man's Sky is dope for about 20 hours. Then you realize the next 200000 hours are going to be like the last 20. Then they updated it and the rules were completely different. You could no longer get a new ship by fixing a busted-ass ship. Then they updated it and the rules were completely different. The only way you could get ahead was by building a base and farming materials. Then they updated it and the rules were completely different. The only way you could get ahead was by building a base and farming for 20000000000000 hours. FUCK No Man's Sky. It could have been awesome. Instead, it's Minecraft without the creativity.
I think I put 50-60 hours into it. I mean, I had a bitchin' ship in 1.0. And I had all the good stuff. And then 1.1 came out and it's like "hey guess what! You have to do a whole bunch of bullshit because we completely changed things and you will never get a ship as bitchin' as the one you have ever again. Unless of course you're willing to sit there and farm for 60 hours." But then, No Man's Sky's raison d'etre is "try to make a boring thing interesting through grandiosity."
