Imagine being so bazinga for le nostalgia movie that you pay for a power loader that doesn't power load. That'd be like buying Hicks' shotgun for dae le epic close encounters but it shoots lasers instead of shotgun shells. susie-baffled

Last week I paid less money than that, in CAD, for a physical copy of No Man's Sky on Switch. All content included, no DLC, no microtransactions, no subscription, just all in one package.

And it's the most wonderful game I've ever played. I love that I'm not some meathead space marine blowing up everything that moves. It's more like I'm a stranded Starfleet officer on the other side of the universe, applying their scientific and diplomatic talents to solving mysteries and exploring their new galaxy, whose first instinct is to reach for a tricorder instead of a phaser. This is the video game that I'd dreamed about since I was a child watching the adventures of the crew of the Enterprise-D.

No Man's Sky is like the reverse Star Citizen in that it started as a heap of bullshit and false promises but without increasing the buy-in price a lot of that content that wasn't there on day one started getting added in, and then some, and then some, and then some more. I used to hate the hype machine for NMS before and immediately after it came out but I respect how much it improved since then.
