No Man's Sky drops nearly 90% of players since release on PC

MikehaMikeha Member EpicPosts: 9,196
In No Man's Sky's short life on PC, it has seen a peak of 212,613 players, but that peak amount from the game's release on August 12th has not been met again. The game lost half of its player base after three days of release and the numbers have continued to drop. In fact, within the last 24 hours, the peak was only 22,935.

    Just like PGO, this title is likely to have a very short lifespan

    I wonder why... Crap, Overpriced, Boring, dull game that had only a fraction of what was said to be in game, rest was either postponed or pulled out of game. Oh and then the bugs (some of which have been fixed but not all).

    Wonder if that has anything to do with why its dropping, sure fastest selling game but also biggest refunded game of the year...

    Game was completly well Over-Hyped by fanboi's (as per usual, and as per usual, when thios happens the game is always a BIG dissapointment), whatch out any game thats got alot of Hype about it will probably end up being a PoS.

    It might have been better if it had the social elements people though it had.

    Me too, but not as much...

    After 148 hours, I think I'll give it a rest for a while. Don't want to burn out completely, there's bound to be some more content added in a month or two.

    Besides, my "To Play" list is backing-up alarmingly, lol

    There's the massive Skyrim mod (Enderal), the next Fallout DLC at the end of this week, the new Deus Ex just launched and Civilisation VI is looming on the horizon. Those alone will keep me occupied until the middle of 2017, lol

    Agreed. I just Alt tabbed to post screen shots on a thread here debunking some of the said features that were not present. Like Forests. I am on a Forest planet right now. Huge Dinos. I just took a screen of one. Huge space battles. I just fought in one with over 30 ships.

    22K is still a lot of players on Steam. That does not even count GOG.com or PS4.
    22K is way above something like Elite Dangerous at 7.5K
    Its allot of players if they only sold 25k in copies.

    perhaps not the uglist in my view but very close

    Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

    The game never claimed to be pretty. It is stylized which, like all art styles, is subjective.
     The game looks nice to me. 
    yeah which is fair enough its just some of us fine its art style to be unattractive. I would be in that camp

    This was basically a tech demo sold as a full price title. I didn't bother because I knew just from the description of it I'd never play it for more than a week. You would have to be rain man to play this after reaching the center point as disappointing as that was. I love the concept of it, hopefully someone can pick up on it and make an actual game out of it with some real depth to it. If that happens then it will have served a purpose other than just being a 60$ demo.

    I was waiting for it to go on sale which may be happening pretty soon at this rate.

    I´m loving the game.
    I´ve spent +30hours in the game and felt like 10 min!
    I understand though some of the criticism is getting for broken promises and false advertising....but i didn´t follow the development at all so i went in the game "virgin" and i´m loving it.

    It´s not a game for everyone that´s true but i find it very enjoyable so far.

    I really hope Hello Games continues developing the game now live to add some features and new game mechanics! They trully have a great Universe in their hands!

    What do they care its buy to play they already got there money. Once they start selling DLCs people will buy them as well and leave again.

    Thr way guys on here react its like they think the game makers actually want to make a game that people will play for along time. They dont they just want to make something that costs them the least to make but makes them the most when they sell it.

    Its actually even better for them since this game I am sure runs on servers so these guys wont even have to worry about having a server at all in another week they can hook up an old Commodore 64 and use that.

    You seriously know nothing about creation. If you work on a project for 5 years, believe me, you want it to be a success. The NMS team are desperate for the game to be a hit and I reckon that with patches, it will. I like it as it is but more content is sure to come.

    All of them if you look around. He also didnt upgrade the multi tool / suit or ship all that much if any to help with having to recharge so much.
