No Man's Sky was released 7 years ago yesterday (August 9th) on PS4 in North America, today (August 10th) on PS4 in Europe, and August 12th on Steam.

How long have you been playing and how many hours have you played?

I started around Beyond (2.0) and have almost 3800 hours played.

It's extremely aggressive too.

Logged in and kapow, felt like I was hit with a lot of confusing new terminology. I played for 10 minutes than quit out of overwhelm.

I'm excited seeing all these updates. But I'm so out of the loop.

    I think part of the issue is, the game makes you feel like you're supposed to "get it" all now. Whereas in the earlier versions, it just dropped you in the world, and you were expected to learn at your own pace.

    If you can get past the initial information overload, accepting that you aren't going to retain or understand it all, then you can go back to playing with the "I'll learn when I learn" mentality.
