That's interesting about No Man's Sky. I can't figure out what I think about it. Granted, it's MASSIVE, but I'd want to battle other players or form a space pirate raid team, or something along those lines, but they really want it to be a solo adventure. Everything I've seen makes it come across as 'Don't Starve 2.0'. It just 'feels' more like a tech demo or proof of concept more than anything, imo.

I actually prefer the idea of the "solo adventure." I love the games that make you feel alone (probably why Super Metroid was such a big deal for me). Having the option to play other people online is nice for those who are into that sort of thing, but it's not for me. Not to mention the fact that those types of games eventually become unplayable when the servers go down.

I've heard it's pretty much exploration / survival and you are meant to craft your own story. I probably won't get a chance to really dig into it for a bit though as the Olympics are currently taking up the time I usually game and I want to finish Tokyo Mirage Sessions before moving on.

I've been doing both. I'll have a game on my small tube TV while the Olympics are on my HD TV a few feet away. Best of both worlds. :D

Am I the only person who doesn't give a shit about the olympics? :-\
