Alright. I'm done. When people clearly read over my sentences and make their own story out of it, there's no point to linger on the subject any longer.
Are there any other reviews out besides the one from Sterling?

"We went into No Man's Sky thinking it was going to be GTA 5 crossed with Minecraft in space, and although there are elements of both of those games encapsulated within it, it's also very much Dark Souls and Elite Dangerous too. "
:O
That's...an interesting statement all around.

Lol what the fuck, Ctrl+F "Dark Souls" in that article, and the ENTIRE reason they compare it to Dark Souls is because you drop your inventory when you die.
That's...what.

Now THAT is how you clickbait, people
I'm not sure if you know this but Dark Souls invented every game mechanic ever
clickbait bullshit title at it's finest.

The article title was procedurally generated
I clicked on the link and came across an article of Sean's response to the Neo.
So it's sounding good right? I'm ready to be knocked back....
I'm probably alone but that quote right there is equivalent to enemy crab at E3 where you "Attack the weak point for massive damage"

That's a neat idea to attract more hate on No Man Sky.
Yeah, it's like Elite but without the comprehensive trading systems and flight mechanics or player interaction.
And it's like Dark Souls in the sense that you can die.
That's damn amazing. dissing Dark Soul game while making comparison no one asked for.

I like how there's three different clickbait variant titles. On the front page you see:
On the review/preview itself, you see
The html title you'll see on your tab is
I thought you were joking. My god. Buzzword Feuerwerk.

He isn't judging you for the mistake you did two years ago, but for the mistake you are doing now. Which are, unsurprisingly, pretty similar.

And you spend so much time bashing a game you have no interest in buying or playing.

Between this thread and the other NMS thread (though this one is lighter on the mood), I honestly feel like I'm back in middle school. Take a break guys

Whatever floats your boat, my friend. The two things aren't even remotely similar.

I am good, lol.
Just annoying seeing his same personal attacks, over and over.
As for on topic, that /r/ review was hilarious, lol.

Thanks and ya I rated it a Wait for Deep Deep Sale, or rent if you have Gamefly or something.
And I am cutting out the one mistake I made about inventory.
Long story short its got issues in the UI, gfx problems, bookmarking, travel, and gameplay loop issues. Its not bad AT ALL and what I find fun doesn't mean I will think is worth others running out to get.
I will most likely be rereviewing it after some patches as some of this seems to fit right into the games procedural generation and how they can change content.
I enjoyed the Blade Runner ending.

Yea I'm with you here. I'm actually more interested in the impressions over the next couple of days as opposed to yesterday and today. Already seeing a couple of honeymoon period over and wish there was more posts has tempered my enthusiasm a bit. At the same time some people still seem to be enjoying it after a long time put in. I kinda wish there was a concensus one way or the other so I could decide to dive in or wait and put my money towards Deus Ex

They should have sold it for $40.
It would have gone a LONG way in forgiving it's flaws.

The flaws would still be pointed out regardless price shouldn't protect it from that.

LMAO love his closing Blade Runner quote.
I'm really not sure the price is the issue, I don't think there should be a sliding scale of forgiveness of issues vs price.
It's a premium product, I don't think it's a particular good one for me, but it's clear from the time i've spent with it, it is.
I think the issue is the idea of NMS and trying to make that into a game just hasn't gelled particularly well.

IMO People would be WAY more willing to give a $40 dollar game that they are on the fence about a chance than a $60 dollar one man. As well as being forgiving of the flaws of said game.

Nah if I'm buying a game $20-$60 flaws are flaws the price shouldn't protect it from that at all. Whether people hibe a game a chance because of price is an entirely different subjective issue

I love starburst, they are delicious.

I'm not talking about reviews leaving out flaws though I'm sure price is taken into consideration knowingly or not.
Let's say there is a game reviewed once.
I am saying that IMO if people who read that review are on the fence after reading about the flaws, they would be far more likely to give it a chance at a lower price point. I think that the average consumer will go in with expectations that scale according to the amount that was spent.

Fucking children, throwing tantrums because of a review...
Whose doing this?
Thought all the reviews have been pretty decent and I like this game a lot.

Holy shit how did Sean get to this point of being such a lovable and amazing developer in a lot of people´s eyes? People talk about him like he can´t be mistaken when saying something or that he would make the greatest game of all time. He worked on Joe Danger and that´s it. Wasn´t wise to hire the third game of the company that much (the second game was a sequel btw).
$66 CAD = $50~ USD.It's $59.99 USD on steam for me... You got my hopes up.
Technically he's worked on Burnout and BLACK.

This was always going to be a love/hate game for reviewers. I've seen enough to know that it's exactly what I was expecting, which is exactly what I wanted.
The scope for expansion of the game is also very, very exciting.

I know it might not count for much, but on tonight's "inbox" over on the metro site, down near the bottom somebody has sent in an email in about NMS, and the editor/reviewer for the site agrees that the game is "as deep as a puddle". Ouch!
