Can someone tell Hello Games it's all good now, everyone is over the poor launch? Actually don't, I want to see just how far they will keep pushing No Man's Sky. The latest update is a goodie too.
The just launched Aquarius Update is the perfect addition after the big water overhaul in Worlds Part I bringing with it a whole lot of little bits of fun. Some of what's been added includes fishing, a fishing skiff, messages in bottles, a fishing expedition, a new diving suit, fish traps, new cooking recipes, a deep-water jetpack, a huge new fish variety and more.
Speaking about the update the developer said: "Something people really loved in the Worlds update was the new water technology – tons of players were posting videos of themselves just chilling at the water’s edge. One piece of fan art in particular stopped us in our tracks, of a player lazily fishing from their wing of their starship. This art, and others like it, was right at the heart of the inspiration behind the Aquarius update."
Once again, they say more will follow, so they're clearly not done with No Man's Sky just yet.

Not that I'm not gonna play through the expedition though.
The deep sea diving suit is particularly amusing though, given there are no deep seas in the game.
At the same time, in the previous update they told most of the water stuff had to do with optimizations and developments on the Light No Fire engine that were back-ported to No Man Sky. NMS fishing serves as a safe test bed to develop (and try to go crazy) with fishing so it will properly work later on their survival new game.
