Looks very interesting
Sadly it just looks like it'll be another Elite Dangerous. Vast, but shallow as a puddle

It's... interesting, but at the same time looks kind of boring.
Pretty though

Im really interested in this - i love the idea of you being the first to discover things and naming them yourself. I wonder how they generate things,and how different planets/animals really will be.

Just spent about 3 hours discovering my first home planet ''LV-426'' hehe,not bad for a first planet,it is scorched at 40 degrees but has some interesting caving systems....just found a monolith and ive repaired most things on the ship. There 3 other planets in the system so will need to check those out,what a mental experience,you could spend hours just exploring and discovering an area of a planet. Just found my first colony outpost so off to see what that is. Very impressed so far.

It is just exploring yes, you need to gather resources to upgrade things and you have to explore for them, but it's very intriguing to fly to other planets, maybe a moon anyway. Eventually you go to the centre of the universe but I don't know anymore than that
Graphics are a difficult one because it's very much of a certain style, but it does have some rough edges although I think it's more to do with the procedural nature of the game.

There appeared to be a fair amount of screen pop-in from the video I saw. Personally, I couldn't play it if it was that bad. The occasional item or piece suddenly appearing in the distance, I can cope with. Rolling mid-range details simply appearing out of thin air is a bit much for the eyeballs to appreciate.

This looks fairly boring, not something that's interested me since seeing the trailers. No story apart from make it to the centre of the universe?
You might bump into someone but then if you do, you can't interact with them.
I'm interested in seeing the packaging as apparently the multiplayer section has been stickered over (not sure if since launch day or after) so they are either dropping it all together or waiting a while to introduce it, by when, everyone will be bored.

I think anyone like myself who is into space and the universe,this is a must have game. Ive never played anything like it,the scale of it all,and the different experiences of discovery. The planets can be very different,one can be lush and full of wildlife,and one can be dead,no life at all,and a very lonely place. People who are moaning about mulit player and saying its boring,arnt really getting what the game is about,or its just not their thing.

From what I've seen, it does strike me as being appealing to a specific type of person. It's certainly not a mainstream game of universal appeal - a COD or GTA game, for example.
The space genre is one that massively appeals to me too. There are many games out there that simply use space as a backdrop with little thought or effort into portraying that setting across to the player. One game from back in my Amiga days was Millennium 2.2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_2.2) which I played through so many times. It really conveyed a sense of exploration and resource gathering for the greater good. The only issue were that the resources themselves resided on the same planets and moons for every game. Meaning that you knew exactly where to head to in order to get an early lead over the CPU AI.
However, for my first true surface to space experience, I have to go back to Starglider 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starglider_2) - which in its day was nothing short of breathtaking.

I gave Frontier the finger the moment they wanted me to pay another 30 odd quid for Horizons. As for No Man's Sky, I'll wait till it's cheaper. This looks like a time eater also, and not convinced it's any good yet.
So loads of drama going down about the PC port but LOL funny thing is the game runs great on my PC although that could be because I ditched the broken piece of s**t that is SLI a few months back.
Unfortunately whilst it runs great (walking around on the first planet it does anyway), every time I exit the game my screen goes black and my PC is f**ked. Have to reboot it!
Currently one hour in. So I have one hour more of testing time before I have to refund it. May well refund it anyway and get a PS4 copy from Argos first thing tomorrow. Master race FTFW yet again - NOT.
Don't get what the fuss is about so far though. Most boring first hour of a game ever.
Edit: I have Elite on PC and XO and whilst that game didn't meet my expectations I had more fun in the first hour just planet hopping doing board missions than I've had in NMS doing a dull version of Minecraft.

Where did the evening go?
Enjoying it so far, aside from a crash a few minutes ago that seems to have been in aid of a patch. Game seems to delight in giving you no indication of what the f**k is going on. Not had any weird jittering so far.
Reddit seems to have tracked down the crashing/not starting issues to SSE 4.1 support (which is like 10 years old). The f**k are people doing trying to run new games on 10 year old CPUs

Got 114 minutes in and had to make a decision. As I say it ran great on my machine so no beef there but £40 was on the line and I only had six minutes left of my window.
In the end I opted to get my money back. If it were £20 like an indie game should be then yeah I'd have kept it there. It had near as damn it two hours (the length of a movie) to draw me in but it failed. I just found it dull, tedious, the inventory management was mega annoying, I wasn't being drawn in by lore or any kind of story (regardless of whether it is told indirectly like Dark Souls or directly via dialogue), the first person and flight mechanics were mediocre and I just felt I had no overall objective or a least not one I gave two-sh*ts about.
On my family Minecraft server we don't have a story or objective set by the game but we have things we all work together on etc. With NMS being a solo affair it gives me the same feeling as solo minecraft - ie. "why the f*** am I wasting my time doing this?".

I'll wait.
Sensible people should, tbf. I'm enjoying the exploration though, if not the overly touchy sentinel robots who don't like when you mine too much
