Has he even said anything yet about this game that sounds unbelievable? I feel like people are getting preemptively angry.
People are also forgetting that he spent the past decade creating systems and tech for NMS that he can now use in his new game. Systems and Tech he didn't have in hand when dreaming up NMS.
"The first real open world."
That's a rather hyperbolic statement, even if they're not just over-hyping.
I don’t believe Sean Murray and I will not be buying this game at launch or even for several years.
I still don’t own No Mans Sky and it’s specifically because I’m pissed off that people think it’s some kind of great redemption story. It’s not.
It’s a hellish nightmare indicative of the current state of the gaming industry.
Small studios have to manufacture impossible hype in the hope their game sells, then they go about fixing it, even though they promised features at launch and all they are really doing is just giving you the product you already paid for.
What other product would people ever be happy with this arrangement?
Still unoptimized... i slogged 90hrs over multiple updates and years hoping that a quality of life patch would come. just got more skins and ships and aliens...cool.
Fr I went back and played a little bit of it after dropping it like a week after launch.
Still bugged asf
Dogfights still deteriorate to drones flying past you at mach 1 and landing one shot while you slowly try and keep them in frame, only for them to blow past you again.
I ended up in some town that was attacked by sentinels, fuckers were constantly healing each other through the wall.
Everything they showed in the trailer is already in NMS, but now it has fantasy skin. I'm willing to believe him this time.
(but still don't preorder)
Never preorder.
i love all the game outlets pissing themselves over whether they should be pissing themselves over this game
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
If he plans on pulling a No Man's Sky 2.0 by overhyping and then fixing in post, I can only hope he finds a gaming community far less receptive to his bullshit this time around.
Fool me once, fool me twice. Fool me chicken soup with rice.
I don't think its genius and yes, I can blame them for doing it.
What a weird time in gaming, Bethesda trying to copy No Man's Sky with Starfield and Hello Games trying to copy what Bethesda is trying to sell what The Elder Scrolls 6 is supposed to be. Considering what Hello World has already proven themselves capable off, they are definitely going to be throwing some punches.
I'm still not gonna play it for at least like a year.
If it's buggy on release, then I can wait until it's not. If it ends up being great on release and not buggy, then I still get the benefit of a year of improvements, balancing, new content, etc. and have an even better experience.
Not that I think it's gonna be a flop or anything, I just don't have that sort of trust in any game studios at all anymore.
All that aside, I'm very hyped for it
I'm sure not preordering and I will wait until plenty of detailed reviews and gameplay videos are out before I buy. As solid as NMS is right now, it was a steaming pile on release. I won't risk it again.
“This game MIGHT end up being controversial. We’re just going to act like it already is.”
God lord, can we get a bit of filtering on the bullshit of articles that get posted on this community? I apreciate anyone that spends their time filling this sub with content, but the quality of the content shared is just terrible
This user posts a ton and seems to take the shotgun approach. I guess that's what we get if people aren't willing to post better content.
IMO, the problem is that there's not a log of good content being produced. The vast majority of it is vapid clickbait garbage. Some people eat that up, and they also share it. I don't think there's a way to stem the tide. Ever.
Then downvote and move on. No need to make people that actually post content feel unwelcome and unappreciated. That just leads to no content and thus no reason to even use Lemmy / the Fediverse.
Considering the massive push across multiple lemmy instances to completely remove downvotes, leaving a comment is actually becoming the only way to state you dont like or want specific content on a sub.
The fediverse actively disagrees with you on how to filter content quality.
If you bothered to read my comment, i said that before anything else, i apreciate the effort of generating content. But at the end of the day its not of much use for anyone flooding a community with shitty content.
