Title: No Man's Sky
Post by: Spooky on August 17, 2016, 04:47:51 PM
Ugh! I wasted $60 and about 4 hours of my life on this game. Sadly steam won't let me return it because I played it for more than two hours.

:dontlike: :dontlike: :dontlike: :dontlike: :dontlike: :dontlike:

This guy sum up what is wrong with this game.

The guys who do Honest Trailers also have an Honest Game Trailers channel. Here's theirs for NMS:

I'm disappointed.  The only thing that differentiates us on this is that lately I've been waiting for games to go on sale.  Otherwise I was pretty much all in--hook, line, and sinker.

I was so excited that I was probably annoying my coworkers talking about it so much.

We'll see if they make any changes. If they do, I may give it another try.

But some people seems to enjoy it still so...

That's great!

Two hours just isn't enough test time for some of these survival games.

Looks like they really widened the window (http://www.gamerevolution.com/manifesto/steam-is-accepting-no-mans-sky-refunds-by-users-with-more-than-2-hours-of-playtime-37449) on Steam refunds for NMS.

I don't doubt it was your multiple attempts to get one that made them finally give in.  :rofl:

I got rejected three times today before they accepted. There were a number of folks on Reddit that had to try multiple times as well. I am just happy to get my $60 back.

That would have been frustrating.
I'm happy you got your money back too.  Any interesting games on the horizon?

Sony exec called players who want refunds (https://games.slashdot.org/story/16/08/28/1749254/players-seek-no-mans-sky-refunds-sonys-content-director-calls-them-thieves) with fifty hours game time "thieves", but then backed off a bit.

The new WoW expansion starts tomorrow and I got into WoW a few months ago, so I am sure Ii will waste a lot of time playing that.

I also play a lot of Hearthstone. It's addicting and free, unless you want to buy card packs.

Complete silence after releasing a lackluster game and then a HUGE update. I am still bitter for my pre-order even though I got my money back. I don't think this will get me to buy the game again.

I wonder if they're waiting for the community to come out with a mod and make for them the game they promised?
