Dunno. Just a thought.

i chuckled.
In this hypothetical situation we already know the answer is yes.
Even though I agree, being pissed off over a game being broken or having missing features after you payed money for it is a legit response and actual criticism (which there's plenty of for no mans sky)shouldn't be lumped in with what your talking about. There's cross over obviously but it's mainly people genuinely wondering ' what the fuck is going on with this game' especially over the terrible pc port that's worth being 'outraged' over.

Dont do it, isn't worth it
I'm surprised people would complain in SoTC, of all things, its colour palette.
I mean, this isn't Trine where you oversaturate everything. It's a decaying world and it perfectly fits with the Team ICO aesthetic.
I'm not grouping them together. Merely explaining why I find this kind of entitled rage so distasteful.
I do agree criticism is warranted and, I'd argue, completely necessary. But there's ways to go about it that aren't so... *gestures at this thread*

if the answer is "yes, you can see other people but its not working because ______" then that's literally all sean needs to tweet out to put a stop to this nonsense. every second he doesn't just keeps the controversy stirring and makes HG look guilty because they aren't saying anything meaningful.

"Ignorant," really? So potential consumers can watch every trailer, video interview - even follow Sean Murray on Twitter, and still not have a good idea of what they're getting into in terms of game features and you think that has something to do with their own ignorance? Please. Years of saying that a feature is included followed by one tweet a day before release suggesting that it's not is confusing on a good day.

No one is being tricked by a hidden agenda here so why bring it up?
If you're talking about personal insults being hurled at devs then thats a thing that has existed long before gamergate and will continue long after everyones forgotten about it.

Totally agree with this.
Sure 60 dollars or pounds or whatever is a fair sum of money...but don't preorder if you can't take the financial risk.
People buy stuff that costs way more money than games, and have faulty bits (e.g. houses and cars) and they don't post in the internet using words like prick, outrage, or liar.
The total lack of perspective from some people in this thread is just appalling.
It's as if this is a gaming forum where people like wasting time on a mediocre game. Spending 3 days is nothing compare to other topics gaf has had on.

I wanna preface this by saying that I haven't played NMS yet, but...I honestly didn't know that people actually wanted MP in this game at all in the first place. The vibe I got, and continue to get, from following this game from a distance is that it's about throwing you into a lonely galaxy and occasionally interacting with aliens but otherwise it's a chill experience about exploring planets and a galaxy and always moving forward, never back.
To be honest, I think you're picking a fight with me just to have a fight. The very post you have a problem with explains why I brought it up.
I don't have time to repeat myself again and again.

We've reached the point where leveling fair criticism is akin to having a mental illness.
Cool dude.
Criticism is a-ok. Threats and insults, however, are pretty pathetic.
I'm not talking about the amount of time they're spending discussing it. I'm talking about how quickly they've turned into rabid, frothing at the mouth, miscreants over not receiving a response from the Developers within 72 hours.

Fair enough, maybe I am. Nothing personal, just sick of seeing gamergate brought into everything on this forum.
Imagine if this was a valve game!!

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Lol why the title change?
He's not the only streamer experiencing game breaking technical issues.
PC gamers are not going to buy the game if the performance is like spinning a roulette wheel and hoping it works.

yep that's absolutely not a false equivalency /s aaaagh

I don't accept that. That's really unfair to Sean. I don't really know anything about the guy but it's not Sean's style to face negativity directly. He's busy being amazed at his beautiful creation and sometimes he's just too shy to answer questions about his lies. That's very admirable. I don't appreciate this character assassination that's been going on around here.
Sean, if you're reading this, I apologize on behalf of NeoGAF. They know not what they say.
The benefit of co-op is irrelevant, we are discussing the ambiguity/deceitful nature of how Sean described the multiplayer in NMS and why he seems to be refusing to make a statement explaining why people can't see each other.
Because God is merciful.
Where are the threats? I've read this thread from the beginning and I don't remember anyone threatening Sean.

For real, the amount of people who've come in here and tell people how they should feel is crazy. They really should focus on themselves and not worry about other people.....

This is going back into the circle again, down to calling people who want a straight answer mentally unstable, which is somehow less mature than crackachu antics! See you guys next update, I guess.

so what did todd howard do to get put in the peter molyneux territory?
Something along the lines of infinite quests, 200 endings, etc.

Who here is throwing out threats? Most people in this thread seem actually pretty laid back. Things only get heated when someone wants to deny that the feature was ever promised.

I'm quite content with the game staying SP. Other human beings are typically jerks, and the game is difficult enough without getting griefed/ganked. I can understand why some may be disappointed by this news, though.
I think you need to re-read what I was responding to.
I think you also need to re-read what I was responding to. I was not using the word as an insult nor was I referring to the knowledge that a consumer may have of the game by following pre-release media.
Or, to make it easier on you guys, I'll just rephrase the question.
If we know that people can see each other in the game (because it starts actually happening), and that is apparently not good enough, what else needs to be done to satiate this outrage?

You know he's an actual real person right? Who has worked incredibly hard and risked his house to make a game that hopefully people will like?
You can't give him the benefit of the doubt or wait a few days to see what the real answer is? You just want to go straight to liar and sarcasm?

"So you are saying that if my friend travels to the same place I am at, we could play together for a while?"
"No, that's not really what the game is about. Again, when you talk about multiplayer, it gives people the wrong impression. Like I said, that's not what were trying to build, and its not what people should be thinking about going into the game.

- Explain why seeing others wasn't working initially.
- Explain/apologize for not tweeting out that the feature was broken
- Commit to do better when communicating with the playerbase

Yes but we have had a lot of patience.
Right now, with the PC launch, I don't believe we'll be getting an answer anytime soon.
I think we'll have to wait for PC gamers to meet each other or to dissect the game to see if there is a player avatar as well as multiplayer code.
There's wanting an answer, then there's acting like a 5 year old child who never got their own way. That's this thread.
'Man, multiplayer would be cool and they said it would be there. S'up with that?' = Fine and expected.
'WHAT THE FUCK? THEY COULDN'T SEE EACH OTHER? FUCK THAT GAME AND THAT FUCKING FRAUD, I HOPE IT BOMBS. FUCKING LYING SACK OF SHIT' = a fucking arsehole. Which does this thread have more of?

This thread isn't about multiplayer (like getting together and playing together), its about seeing other people in the game, which was said to be possible:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqeN6hj4dZU&feature=youtu.be&t=351
However, several people have gone to the same spots and not been able to see each other. HG has not offered any explanation for why this is happening. That's what this thread is about.

Hiya, I'm sure some people have...and I don't know what you have posted personally in the past
I'd say the point to lose patience would be once a lot of people are in the middle, and running into the same places all the time and not seeing each other..that would be "proof".
Or as you say once someone can dissect it and determine if there is any MP code at all.
Even then they may have deliberately designed the MP so it only switches on rarely, so that you get a fleeting few minutes with another player instancing in, and then out again.
