POSTBIT: PS4 No Man's Sky Review!

3 views

No Man's Sky Review! On POSTBIT we review video games from a Christian worldview, at least we try to anyway. But how to do you review a game that literally leaves you waiting for hours and hours staring at a screensaver, waiting to arrive at your destination, only to do it again? On No Man's Sky you can take dominion and discover the universe, all the while naming planets and animals that you find. Just like Adam!

Tonight, we are playing the biggest game ever made. In the universe. Ever. I'm Austin.
00:07
I'm King Ginger. And we are playing No Man's Sky. Did you say
00:12
No Man's Guy? No Man's Guy. No, it's No Man's Sky.
00:20
No Man's Guy. Is that your ship?
00:30
This is going to be my ship. It's going to be your ship. It's going to be my ship. Look at that. I'm going to call it
00:35
Big Bertha. Actually, you know, one of my complaints about this game, I can go around, name planets, name plants, but I can't name my own ship.
00:45
Listen here, Hello Games. I want to name my ship. Are you not with me on this?
00:54
Where the heck did the Sentinels even come from? There's like, there's nothing about them.
01:00
They just came into the game and started shooting me up for no reason. Yeah, and I like how it says this planet's undiscovered, but there's
01:09
Sentinels and spacecraft. Right. Yeah. Whose are they?
01:15
And bases. Yeah, and bases with aliens. It's populated. But it's undiscovered.
01:20
Nobody's ever seen it before. It's like when Christopher Columbus gets credit for discovering America. There's already
01:26
Indians there. Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! This is actually populated,
01:32
Mr. Columbus. You can't discover something if people are already there.
01:39
Everybody's like, welcome traveler. I walk up, walk up to one of those aliens and he's like, hey, how's it going?
01:50
I'm like, uh, I just discovered this planet and apparently I'm supposed to tell somebody about it.
01:57
As you plant the flag and say, I discovered this planet, the aliens just look at you and go, really?
02:03
Right. Before I aptly named my planet, your mom. I just want to say for the record that I'm very glad that God did not choose you to name the animals, which was
02:15
Adam. And this is why. Yeah, God definitely had a better idea.
02:23
You named all your planets your mom. Yeah. And all your systems, but I think that wasn't a joke earlier.
02:30
I really, you really did. Yeah. You really named your planet your mom. Yeah. They pretty much all say your mom. So this one, this one's mouth breather.
02:40
Why are his legs backwards? Do you see how they're like popping in? All they did for this creature was they made his legs inverted.
02:48
Why God? In all caps, because what is he? What is this?
02:54
He's... That's the sound he makes. I know that.
02:59
I found him. This one's Tyrannodurp. This one's Hingle McRingleberry. This one's
03:07
Faceplant. Faceplant. Wow. Because look at him. He digs his face into the ground every time he takes a step.
03:14
We got Poot and Dingo Turtle. He's a mix between a dingo and a turtle, mate.
03:21
Look at him. He's eating a face full of dirt every time he takes a step. So as we were saying, one of the great parts about this game is that you can name animals.
03:30
It's like Dominion. Like in the Bible. Right. You can name all the creatures. I get to take dominion of any planet that I find.
03:38
Oh my goodness. That came up quick. I think a spaceship was about to take dominion over you. It was about to take dominion over me.
03:46
You remember back in the old games when you hated loading times? You remember those?
03:55
Yeah. Not in this game. This time I will happily sit through 30 seconds of flying to a new planet.
04:05
You know what one of my biggest complaints about this game is? Aside from not being able to name my ship? What? Nobody in this game has a beard.
04:14
That's true. I haven't seen a single character. That guy has a beard. It's just under his mask. Yeah. Perhaps.
04:23
I can't argue with that. I don't know what's under there. Wake me up when I'm there. I think this is an appropriate time to talk about sin.
04:41
So you have pirates. Yep. And they're going to tax you. They're going to tax me and try and take my things.
04:51
All right. Looks like we got two. So this is one of the challenges. And they just open fire. They don't even ask questions.
04:57
They're just like, you're going to die now. And they're going to try to kill you and steal your stuff. They're going to, yeah.
05:03
It's theft. It's larceny. Oh, get up.
05:11
Get up. I think you got him. Oh, man. I hope so. I hope he...
05:17
You picked the wrong guys. Taking the life of somebody who is trying to take your own is perfectly justifiable.
05:24
That's justifiable. Absolutely. It messes with the
05:33
OCD when there's one planet you can't name. Oh, yeah. There's no worse way to make me angry than to not name the planet.
05:40
You want to come into my star system, you've named the planet correctly. This is not a game. This is not a game.
05:46
This is like Second Life. Did you just make a Second Life reference? I did. I don't think anybody got that reference.
05:54
Like only a very limited audience. I never played it. I played RuneScape instead. I like how you knew it, but you didn't want to take credit for it.
06:04
Right. I just wanted somebody else to catch it. I was supposed to be an Easter egg. Thanks for ruining my
06:10
Easter egg. I couldn't let you get away with that. The fact that you know that's really embarrassing and shameful.
06:17
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, gosh. There. Oh, dear. Here we go. Oh, man. Oh, I have messed up.
06:25
I messed up. Oh, goodness. There is no way out of here.
06:30
Oh, gosh. Make it stop. Please help. Mom. Somebody call my mom. Get out of my way.
06:37
Oh, praise the Lord. All right. We have escaped the asteroid field.
06:45
Whew. That was something. What's that red thing? Hang on. Let's get some of this stuff.
06:51
What red thing? Oh, there's a space station. All right. You want to try this planet? What have we got to lose?
06:59
At this point, what do we have to lose? Another minute. Oh, my gosh. I'll be back.
07:30
Oh, right on time. Right on time for another barren planet, folks.
07:39
Would you look at that? So I would say that that is our first real post -bit review of a game.
07:46
Maybe we haven't done anything but fly around and shoot stuff. We can't end.
07:53
We haven't done anything. I don't think there's really much to do.
08:00
Austin, we are charged with talking about these games and discussing it from a biblical worldview.
08:06
And all we've done for the past two days, for two days, all we've done is we've stared
08:13
No, no, no. At this screen. Yeah. As you mine stuff.
08:19
Minecrafted. Yeah. As you mine stuff and we don't have a point or a purpose, you've literally just been floating around for two days, wasting my time.
08:36
Sorry. I dozed off. I dozed off. I apologize.
