5 hours play time of No Mans Sky and I'm having fun.
It's not perfect by a long shot but to be honest, I couldn't really give a fuck. Watching my eldest son (8 years) play the game is proving to be well worth the £45 price tag.Read this article today and pretty much agree with what he says.
"Video games are still very tricky to define. They are not technological objects in the same way as printers or smart watches or Bluetooth speakers. But they are not art in quite the same way as cinema or literature. Instead, they are works of complex creative endeavour, they are imaginative machines, but the players themselves must complete the circuitry; you have to bring something with you – and with some games that requirement is greater. The clash over No Man’s Sky is a clash between people who see games as an entertainment product and the people who see them as an experience. As a product the game falls short in many practically understood ways. As an experience it can be utterly transcendental."

Everyone should read his pieces concerning his autistic son and the part Minecraft has played in bringing them closer together. Wonderful stuff.face_melter - The fun will end in about 5 hours. I put 10 hours into it and cant be bothered with it anymore. Sooooo boringggg.CygnusZero4
