hmmmmm 
I havenāt gone near No Manās Sky, but this looks to me like itās exactly the whole problem with it - it was always going to disappoint the masses because of the whole hype/expectations thing and Iāve heard plenty of people say they actually managed to get a decent 10-20 hours out of it before getting bored.
Seems to me if theyād been able to manage peopleās expectations better it wouldnātā have been nearly as badly received, because there must be some reasonable gameplay in there somewhere for quite a few people to get that much out of it.
Tbf itās missing a lot of features and the trailer on steam is still a mock up and not representative of the final product.
Donāt get me wrong, I assign no blame at all on why people got over-hyped for itā¦ just stating the fact that the reaction was inevitable as it was never going to deliver.
Yeah, at least as aggressive. I played and enjoyed it for about 10hours but when I fell off I fell off hard, first few planets was exhilarating but then you see the same handful of skins and prefab creatures and this goes leaving you to realize that the game isnāt close to being what was promised on both a technical level and gameplay level. Also the less said about the ending the better
so there is an ending? so there must be some kind of story, no?!
Uhhhh barely and the ending is reaching the center which was meant to reveal this amazing event, it doesnāt, feel free to look yourself. The story is made up of a handful of logs and vague objectives that donāt impact the game at all and is completely avoidable
If you want to float about in space consider rebel galaxy instead.

I still find it gorgeous and an inherently relaxing experience but itās definitely not for everyone. Loads better after the updates though.
Hey @anon5266188, having a brexit related problem in fm17. Itās finally come into effect, I got the 13 foreign players limit one that works āinstead of the current work permit systemā.
so ahead of this Iāve got 3 awesome kids who couldnāt get work permits in my squad, but now the window has opened it still has the red āwpā warning next to them, and i seem to have to try and get them work permits. Is there some loophole thing Iāve missed here like needing to give them new contracts or do i just have to wait till I can apply for the wps and theyāll automatically get one? Or am I fucked and these guys can never play for my epic youthful Fulham team as we wreak havoc on the Europa League?
Youāll need to loan them out of move them to an affiliate until theyāre eligible for WPs, you can only apply once every 120 days. Soz!
Ah crap, so i managed to get one of them, but gonna have to wait for 3 months for my better two players.
Cheers though

Nioh is really hard. Iām in some cave very early in the game, I keep dying. I feel like I die more than I do in DS. At least in that, I mostly only die on bosses.
I started playing Neverwinter again, I donāt even know why but Iām really enjoying it. I think itās the grind.
First season of The Walking Dead was pretty rad too.
Is that the cave with the bats? If so, I burst out laughing the first time those fuckers incrementally knocked me off a ledge to my death. I think that area is the first real difficulty spike - the boss is a doozy - one of those you only defeat when youāre at the point you are taking almost no hits from.
Iām several missions into the second area of the map now. Combat feels just wonderfully fluid by this stage - busting out ki pulses and weapon skills makes me feel like aā¦ ninja. Definitely dying more than in Souls though. Had a moment the other day where I came across a new form of Yokai, sized it up, feeling ready to brawl, then got pummelled to death by 6 consecutive punches 
Haha yeah, I loved the bats as well. They are so cheesy
I am finding my way around, however, I canāt shake the feeling that the levels arenāt as fluid as DS. Pretty sure itās because they arenāt part of an open world and thatās it.
Iām still in love with the combat. I think I need to get my Ki pulses down a little more.
So cheesy, but a proper āok, you got me, fair playā moment.
Current level Iām on has wonderful design - lots of broken walkways with shrines in sight but out of reach, smart use of vertical space, clever ambushes - as good as DS on an individual level basis. But I agree there is nothing that compares to that āohhhhhh shit, Iām back here?!ā feeling that you get in Dark Souls (the original, in particular) with the interconnected world. Certainly nothing comes close to that bit in Bloodborne where you climb up the ladder from the woods and wind up back at Iosefkaās.
I found the best way to nail Ki pulses is to unlock all the skills which allow you to pulse through dodging - then itās much more a fluid part of your combat rhythm.
Noted! I thought Iād been doing it all this time but looks like I havenāt at all. Mostly I donāt get into trouble with it though, itās just about being calm.
Iāve not even unlocked magic yet. Iām really taking my time with it haha.
Iāve not done too much with magic. It sounds like a few elements of it are significantly overpowered so I donāt want to become reliant on those and then see them patched out! Mainly just using it to set my sword on fire 
So Nioh then, may have been trying to play it without healing, unaware that thatās what the elixirs were
