The Advertising Standards Authority will be investigating No Man's Sky

Quote

 

After No Man's Sky released in August for the PlayStation 4 and PC, there were claims  from fans of false advertisement perpetuated by the game's creator Sean Murray. False advertisement wasn't the only complaint, there were also bugs that caused quite a few players either refunding the game or simply quit playing.

Even Sony's President believes that No Man's Sky was overpromised by its creator. Throughout all of this, the No Man's Sky developers have been silent - they have yet to comment on claims.

While no details on the ASA's investigation into have been revealed, one No Man's Sky player has detailed the ASA's response to their complaint. 

According to Redditor AzzerUK, both the No Man's Sky developer, Hello Games, and Valve have a joint responsibility and are both being investigated.

I haven't played NMS since the first or second day. Did not enjoy it.

[Benji]

I just realised that the FM 2017 beta probably drops the same day as Civ VI.

I always said sleep was for the weak anyway.

FO4 and Skyrim remaster WILL now be getting mod support on PS4.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Hooray!

Still waiting for a reduced price though.

Might actually make me pick up Fallout 4 now anyway.

The only thing to remember is that the mods will be restricted to in-game assets only, meaning no Macho Man dragons or anything like that.

And probably no nude mod.

...What? Leaving people in their underwear breaks immersion. Plus the underwear lines in certain outfits.

For anyone else that wants to live out biker gang fetish fantasies, the newest GTA Online update is GTA Online: Bikers. 

Might have to check it out. Some of the new bikes look pretty rad.

It's pretty fun, I splashed some cash on the clubhouse and some of the new bikes, just a pity I have no Xbone GTA friends

I haven't been following Mafia 3 (out today) but I was reading a preview today and I'm midly tempted. Never expected to see a game accurately attempt to replicate segregation without an allegory or fantasy reality.

Its on my list. I eventually got round to playing Mafia II, gameplay was it was fairly good if not spectacular, but the story was fantastic.

I bought it this morning. Got it installed but doubt I'll play too much of it until Monday. 

[Bobfoc]

Is GTA: Online worth playing as a single-player experience? I've never given it a go because I'm not much of an online player, but I understand that there are some parts that can be played alone, albeit while technically online.

[Baddar]

I'd say so. It's definitely geared to play with a friend or group of friends though, for the most part.

Its definitely worth checking out. I was mucking about on it with no particular goal in mind, I see this other player running from the cops but he hasn't got a car so I let him hop on my bike and we daringly escape, and he adds me as a friend. It was lovely. And they are always adding stuff to it.
