Summary
No Man’s Skyjust got a massive new lease of life with the Worlds Part 1 update,completely refreshing the worldandboosting the game’s player numbers by a pretty whopping amount. However, no matter how many updates Hello Games rolls out to try and appease fans, there will always be small gripes and annoyances that people have. After all, no game is perfect.
No Man’s Sky players on the subreddit have recently beensharing their most unpopular opinions about the title, and most of them do have something to do with a particular annoyance or suggested change to the already established No Man’s Sky formula. In fact, the most upvoted comment at the time of writing is all about the game’s inventory system, as user Johnnyonoes thinks it’s ridiculous “how much time I spend organizing” things.
As alluded to before, Johnnyonoes has quite a lot of support, with user Taitou_UK still amazed that No Man’s Sky doesn’t have a sort button of any kind. Another user bemoans about having to shift through a bunch of different inventories, and a few agree in that it can sometimes be difficult to actually get items out of your inventory, going so far as to call it a “galactic inventory management sim.” I guess it makes you appreciate Minecraft’s inventory system a little bit more.
No Man’s Sky Fans Are Fed Up With Inventory Management And “Lifeless” Planets
Two other users called Kaito17 and RedShibaCat have fairly similar gripes, and that’s about the world of No Man’s Sky itself. Kaito17 starts out by saying that No Man’s Sky feels as “wide as an ocean, deep as a pond.” They explain that unlike other games, they build a base in No Man’s Sky and then nothing really happens, and finishes up their comment by saying No Man’s Sky feels “empty.”
That same sentiment is shared by RedShibaCat, who feels like the world of No Man’s Sky is “pretty lifeless” and puts it down to the lack of NPCs, settlements, or cities on planets. Others explain that they fly into systems to look at planets and then quickly fly out again, doing very little of substance inbetween, but thatexploring the center of the galaxy helps things a little. I guess that just makes sense in a game as huge as No Man’s Sky.
Of course, it’s worth pointing out that these fans obviously adore the game they’re playing (they wouldn’t be posting on a subreddit dedicated to it otherwise), but it’s sometimes interesting to peek through the hype to see what’s still bothering some people. Then again, No Man’s Sky may be a different game entirely in another ten years, so who knows what could happen in the next half a decade?
