No Man's Sky looks cool as shit now.

[Okeefenokee]

Supposed to be good.

[Speaker to Animals]

Well, I am not installing Windows to find out. That's probably something normies like you should try out, given that you run Windows. I administer my own system.

I figured out that game wasn't going to be good long before it came out. If there's millions of star systems, and hundreds of millions of planets, and a couple hundred thousand players, you're never going to see anyone else. That's why NMS failed, and they weren't even the first.

-Multiplayer experience

-A billion fucking planets

You can pick one.

Two players actually found each other within a week of the game being released, and verified that they couldn’t interact.

However, there’s this...

Dude, go look at the recent Steam reviews. No Man's Sky gets really good reviews now.

It’s two years later, and you’d still be hard-pressed to find anything on that game not followed by a few souls still screaming at the void about “lying developers”. Not that I expect the conversation to change – first impressions leave stubborn stains – but, next month, No Man’s Sky will finally let you fly with friends. Multiplayer is finally coming.

Lemme get my wallet.

Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?

No Man’s Sky NEXT isn’t a sudden step into MMO territory – multiplayer instances are limited to 16 players. But the ability to see, hear and shoot each other over practically infinite worlds could cause a seismic shift in how these factions interact. To understand how things could change, we first need to look at how they started.

What happens in July, when lasers shot by one traveller can finally hit another? On the scale that No Man’s Sky operates on, it’s unlikely that grand gestures will change. The potential for eight versus eight dogfights could create the impression of war for the more role-play inclined players, but dissolution seems to be the preferred tactic for getting rid of the neighbours.

This is what they consider a fix? Get the fuck out of here.

Is there anything left in there after you got defrauded by Star Citizen?

[Okeefenokee]

This studio looks more defunct every time they're in the news. Two years after the release of their multiplayer space sim, and they're getting ready to launch a 16 player arcade instance. I can see why their backers felt lied to.

When CIG said they were making a multiplayer space sim, they started with a multiplayer space sim.

We are very happy to finally share with you the first public build of Arena Commander!

The build we are releasing today is what we’re calling Version 0.8. You can download it by either updating your existing Hangar through the launcher or by accessing the Star Citizen Download page. V0.8 will give every qualified backer access to the Vanduul Swarm and Freeflight modes and includes the ability to fly the Aurora, 300i and Hornet. If you haven’t pledged for one of these ships, we’ll give you a loaner that is the closest in class to what you fly; we want everyone with Alpha access (or an Arena Commander pass) to get their first taste of spaceflight!

Arena Commander V0.8 also includes multiplayer functionality for the Battle Royale and Team modes. These modes will be available for a small number of players today. As we hunt down lag and synch issues and spin up servers, we will open these modes up to more and more players in the coming weeks.
