Good luck with actually getting that PS4 request refunded.

I've been there and done that and even getting a response beyond the initial one is impossible.

Also logged a case for incorrect billing before and that also amounted to nothing.

I never had problems with refunds. As long as you request them within a week they will process. If they cause issues, I get SBSA to cancel the card transaction. I have done it that way a few times, but with PSN this was never necessary.

Good to know.

How long ago was that?
 
I've been playing for 8 hours, and I have no regrets buying it.

Last night I was playing at about 32 FPS, which I found very odd, but I put that down to using my laptop. This morning (after a restart) it was running at a toasty 60 FPS (locked - don't see the need to go higher), with the occasional dip.

This game might not be for everyone, but I'm pleased as punch :D It'll only get better once they've addressed some performance issues, and when Nvidia bother releasing a game ready driver.

I would happily play it as it is now, as I have been, even with all the hate there seems to be about it.

Nvidia are releasing the NMS driver update next week. Edit: I'm also loving the game but I can definitely see it is not for everyone. In fact I expect far more people to dislike it than will like it

Last time in January. My kid's steam purchase was already refunded - the request was made last night.

PSN refund will probably be done within three next week. Has anyone else noticed that the PSN price and the credit card charge differ?

Yeah Steam I understand being quick.

Maybe PSN is better at it now, I did it about a year ago or more.

Some banks charge a background exchange rate for PSN. Or used to at least. Maybe it's that? But would expect it to be two separate charges.

It's an early access game...it's going to be like that forever most likely (it's how devs do things these days i guess) , game is more complete than No Man's Sky, trust me.

Man oh man, I am so hooked on this game. Subnautica is probably one of the best survival games I have ever played.

While i haven't played No Man's Sky, and i actually expected exactly the game the reviewer describes there, the game he recommends in the end to get instead (Subnautica) , i agree, that is an awesome game, get it!

Subnautica isn't nearly as close to No Man's Sky as Empyrion is. Also a fantastic early access game.

That said, I'm really enjoying No Man's Sky.

Seems like there's a lot of patching to do on this.

Check these tips for possible solutions to SSE and OpenGL issues:

Also noticed that the default framerate was set to 30; try upping it.

The last few years or so, I have almost always bought a game at least 6 months after release date. Quite frankly, it's like the real beta testing is done with the release version. I want to enjoy the game; not get frustrated with all the bugs.

Nice will look into it, i have found so many R200 games that are amazing that i am just surprised companies try to ask the 60usd prices on games that should have been in early access still.
