Is this worth paying 50% for yet?

[Psylem]

When this game came out I checked out some videos of the content and then laughed at the price. Is it actually worth half retail price now?

[SaD-82]

No.
It's worth its full price or even more.
If you like the game.
If not then there is no need to buy it at all. Not even gifted would be enough for it.

i have 1500+ hours in-game... i paid $30US for it in April 2021... that works out to 2cents per hour... if i had paid full price ($60US), that's 4cents per hour... so yes, it is worth it if you like exploration sandbox types of games and spend hours in them like i have...

...and all updates are FFREE (and no micro-transactions)

EDIT: over 2200hrs and still going strong...best value-for-money game i've ever bought

I bought it today with -50% price and really like it so far.
It come a long way since the first release.

Over 1700 hours in this game, I think I've paid full price but it's the best game I ever bought and I can play it in VR which is (for those playing flat screen) 100 times better.

I don't think it is just my opinion that this game is worth full price. The fact that they release regular updates that add or refine so much content, and do not charge for them, indicates a dev company that just loves their game and really wants you to love it too. I cannot think of any other game company that does this.

worth full, for sure

50% is a bargain

Yes.

Btw, paying for more than the retail price is a dumb move. Don't do that.

I wanted to buy No Man's Sky since 2016. But I waited for a sale.
I thought, eventually, it should go on sale for -90%. But no. Never happened.
I bought NMS 3 days ago for -50%. With recent updates, I think it will not be cheaper.
There are new player guides on youtube that will help you.
I deleted my first character and made a second character after watching some videos.
I got my S class starship from the third ship I talked to at the outpost near my base,
and it has a nice cockpit view, and cost only 1.5 million.
I got lucky and stumbled upon a crashed starship with many upgrades, that I salvaged for 4-5 mil, which helped me to buy the starship I wanted.
Now, I am collecting eggs on the planet where the eggs spawn (in the beginning).
I was flying and accidentally found another site with eggs.
I also mined a ton of gold and platinum which was orbiting my home planet.
My second character is doing so much better than my first.

I've purchased it twice. Once on Disc for the PS4 when it first came out in 2016, and then again here on steam. It's much better on PC....better graphics, you can mod, and performance is really good on my i7 7700K Gtx 2060 gpu. Which is outdated at this point but I still can run it with high settings with very few hiccups.
The fact that the developer keeps updating it regularly says a lot about HELLO GAMES...and that means as time goes on the value return on this game continues to go up. Buying it at 50% is steal if you get in to exploring and chasing rabbit trails.

I bought it at 50% in 2018 after the NEXT update. It was well worth it then. Been a ton of updates since.

[FullMetalPanic]

It's worth it for the fact alone that they gave us 20 major updates FOR FREE since release. You can't buy any DLC for this, the ingame currencies are only earnable.

I'm concidering buying this on the PS4 even though I will likely not play it on there just so I can give these guys some more. This kind of behaviour deserves to be rewarded in my opinion.

What the ♥♥♥♥...

Alright, kids. Don't be this guy. Capitalism is cool, but don't succumb to bad consumerism.
