I bought NMS on Steam for half price in August of 2019, and I have almost 2k hours. I can't speak for those poor souls who bought this way back in the beginning. I can only imagine the disappointment and hurt they felt, and may still feel to this day. I do ask, as of right now, try it again? I don't mean just try it, I mean play through the story and long enough to get the exo-mech. You already own the game (for those that didn't get a refund) so a little bandwidth and a few hours of time won't hurt you. For those that did get a refund and still scorn this game, you should watch the streamers who are playing this game. Either way, I don't think you'll regret it. All that being said, just in the Beyond update there has been massive improvements and content additions. There are roughly 30 hours of base story missions, then another week or so until you get your living ship. The visuals are nothing short of breathtaking, and you'll WANT to explore the worlds! As far as PC specs, yes you need a decent video card that supports Vulkan since they moved away from OpenGL. I consider it a good move. Finally, I'll leave you with this. This game has taken a good majority of my time since I bought it. I can't say that about all the games I have, but I can about this one. I bought it at half price and consider it a steel.
