I'm sure you didn't see this coming. No Man's Sky, a game that lets players name the planets they discover (in a galaxy of 16 quintillion planets), has some pretty dumb names assigned to its heavenly bodies. Game director and Hello Games founder Sean Murray felt like sharing a few samples earlier today:

Murray explained back in summer of last year that the game would feature a profanity filter, but that he expected players would find ways around it. "The human race is very ingenious," he said. "They find a way, they'll always find a way to write the name of genitals".
The game isn't officially out yet, but some players and outlets (hey, don't look at us) have managed to snag a few early copies. I guess in a way, they've given us a taste of what we can expect when No Man's Sky launches August 9 for US PS4 players, August 10 for UK PS4 players, and August 12 for PC.

Stellar Blade director jokes the action RPG "is the outcome of my creative dictatorship," but "everyone pretends to listen to what I say whilst creating what they want"
I wish Stellar Blade's New Game+ was added before my first playthrough, because it sounds like a whole new action RPG with 34 new outfits and a bigger skill tree
