With the PS4 release of NMS, us PC master race gamer's are eager to see what the fuss is about, ahead of our release this Friday the 12th (US). One question that seams to be cropping up is: What type of game is No Man's Sky anyway? Well apparently: NO MAN’S SKY IS FIRST AND FOREMOST A SURVIVAL GAME So I guess the game belongs in the Survivalist Games division?
Well it's certainly not an MMO. At this stage, it's a Always Online Survival Exploration Game where the only 'shared' thing is who discovers something first. PS4 players found each other but didn't... only time will tell what happens in the coming months. Glad I'm holding off for 1 month post-launch to see if it's worth getting.
This is usually followed by who can use the most silly/profane/offensive name and have it get past the profanity filters.
Playing it - it's hard to call it 'survival'... it's more exploration because there is no challenge in the survival part.
