Thanks for the answers! I'll do a little more research before I take the plunge.

Now lets necro the orginal post and see how many names here praising the game were the same trolling screaming for games blood at release? I know TinyEram was part of that but now plays his steam bought version more than any other game.

-170 down votes for sticking up for this game almost alone.

Im not using Galaxy, and my name is just Explorer. If that sounds more appealing to you than anothername, try using the classic installer instead of the Galaxy one.

I'm downvoting you because you're a douche canoe. And I still think NMS is way overpriced. o.O

Blame Sony as they are the ones that wanted it to be rushed.

We need a way to sort reviews by date.

Before buying a game. I look at various sources to determine gamers' opinion of a game and one of those sources are the user reviews on GOG.

Currently, I wanted to see if the updates changed people's perspective on the game (the way it did for Slain), but the reviews are not sorted by date, most of them are from shortly after the release and there are 109 pages of review to sift through!

Remind me again why you don't just email GOG support and get your named changed? It's only going to get worse for you as more games include Galaxy online play. It's pretty typical for a game to use an account name for online play, this is actually pretty standard practice.

For what its worth, I think its a great name. Much better than my generic one.

There is a way, it's called Adalia Fundamentals

Same reason as before; its a rad name for a forum which on top is nearly 10y old. But, as you see; I tried. Its impossible to find something great, good or mediocre which is not already taken or uses "illicit" stuff like one empty space. Well... its made for forum account names; not for game character names so I don't blame gog. *sigh* I'll try to get the two titles which uses my account name without asking moved to that one. My hope is slim but at least I tried. And I found a name I could live with in a scifi game. *cough* lousy underscore :p

Thanks, but yours really would be a better choice for an astronaut than mine (well, prime account mine). :)

Thats me; for those who might be curious.

Greetings Gog!

this message is for the developers!

I'm glad to see that you guys learned from the mistakes and quitely worked on an update that reflects the players desire instead of running away with the money to "Las Vegas". I'm apreciate your decision about that.

Atlas Rises is a solid update which I hope can help you to fix your reputation in the industry. But...

Don't forget that the reason so many people still care (including me) of your product, its because the idea is great, the game feels uniqe and we all believe that this can be something trully a great experience (even for the whole industry). And it's getting close ;).

But what I would like to see as well, is to have the ability to costumise the ship + physics. Deform it to have larger cargo and larger engines to keep control of it. It is obvious how much work you guys put in to make the flying an experience for the 1.31 and well done! but imagine the excitemant that a costumisation with different properties can generate. Maybe it is toug to make it happen but I'm sure it would bring you back to the spotlight. "PROCEDURAL FLYING PHYSICS". I'm gaming and following the industry for more than 20 years and the games that standing out (according my observation) is the ones with uniqe gameplay mechanics. I'm sure you know, just a reminder.

Thank you for the Atlas update and keep up the hard and good work.

haha I wouldn't spend a dime on this pos.

This "pos" has absolutely nothing to do with what it was when it released; it's a way better game than it was, and it keeps getting better.

It's your right to not spend any money on it, though, and you're also entitled to not like the game -- after all, different people like different games and different genres, and that's OK. What's not OK, though, is calling something you don't like a "piece of shit" when you probably haven't even tried it, or have no interest in doing so.

I absolutely hate Divine Divinity and Outcast (1.1), but I wouldn't call any of those games a "piece of shit", they're just not for me.

A lot of people could enjoy No Man's Sky, if it wasn't for the controversy surrounding it, or the bias that almost everyone seems to have developed towards it, and though I personally don't think the game is worth the base price Hello Games sells it for (and I paid the full price), it's most definitely worth it with this 60% off discount. *If* you like this sort of game. But that should go without saying.

Yea. The sale got me to finally buy the game. I was pretty sure I was just throwing money away. It turns out the game is pretty fun though. The things I like about it do seem to have been added with the various updates, so I can see where it would have been terrible when it launched. Its not now though. Its not the super awesome, revolutionary game it was supposed to be, but its well above average.
