New No Man's Sky update adds walkable gas giants among "trillions" of new planets, just in case you were running out

I cherish my fairly sharp memories of the 2016 launch version of No Man's Sky, inasmuch as the contrast renders the lat…

Walkable? Gas giants?
- Gas giants are theorized to have small rocky or icy cores.

- They kept saying gas giants in the trailer and I was like "are you not going to show them?"
  Finally realized the rocky worlds they were walking on were the "gas" giants. I'm sure they're cool but they just looked like extra-stormy planets.
- Jesus didnt even manage that one
- If it's walkable, then it would be a solid giant, not a gas giant. What were they smoking?

Finally! I've been waiting forever for this update! It's freaking huge!

Oh hey, we're starting to almost approach the state that they claimed the game was in before launch!
- Sounds like you formed an opinion on the game years ago and ignored everything about it since. The game's been pretty good for years now, it had its redemption arc before Cyberpunk made it cool
  They were definitely late on delivering for sure but they've gone beyond catching up at this point
  
  This does not excuse the blatant lies the developer told to market their game prior to release.

  "Pretty good" is a bit of a stretch. It's not completely broken and they added some okay features since launch but overall it's still a pretty mid game.

  Yeah, I don't support fraud 🤷‍♂️ doesn't matter how much they put into it after stealing millions of dollars through deceptive marketing and flat-out lies.
- No Man’s Sky may have started out rough, but I believe the gaming community at large sees them as having redeemed themselves. I’m one of those. I’ve played ‘both versions’ and the amount of work they’ve put into that game is incredible.
  Hell, they won an award for best community support last year.
  That said, their CEO is out there talking about their new game exactly like he did with No Man’s Sky, making very bold claims. We’ll see how that turns out for them. lol

  It's almost as if rewarding fraud instead of punishing it tells them it's OK 🤷‍♂️ crazy how that works
