No Man's Sky Day One Patch Will Bring Big Changes, Early Players Advised to Delete Saves

unless you dont have internet, so you dont get the patch. Also there were some PS4 copies that delivered early accidentally, so there are release copies out there.

I didn't think of that, yeah. It's what makes the practice of release day patching awkward and questionable. Though I thought you had to be online to play NMS. Apparently not?

Still, I stand by my view that a game should only be judged on release day and not by a leaked, bootleg copy. Though what you mentioned does raise the question; should game reviewers review their games when they're online or offline? What would be reasonable?

Well the people currently playing did so without the patch, so apperently not.

I do agree that release day copy is the one that should be judged, however given how bad they were with review copies the leaked copy is more of a confirmation of expectation.

I think if a games core features require online connectivity then the reviewer should also utilize these because i believe reviewer should complete the game before writing a review.
