Why? it is backed by Sony thus it must be released.

Sean Murray is already swimming in money from pre orders so he wins.

For a while NMS was 2nd on GOG and 4th on steam on sales and those are only preorders

There won't be any butthurt.

The hype has exceeded any reasonable thresholds and reached critical mass months ago. In such cases, the press and players have already subconsciously decided it will be the best game ever, and will go into denial mode to protect their fragile psyche from disappointment once it releases.

There will be a few red pilled individuals, but overall I'm sure the rating will be Very Positive.

 

[Burning Bridges]

You are probably right.
This reminds me a lot of Oblivion. An ordinary physics engine was marketed as "next gen programming" and masses of morons slurped it up.

Yeah, no doubt about it. And then a few months to a year later people will suddenly start discussing the flaws without shitting all over negative threads. Kinda like how everyone was suddenly talking about how boring Bioshock Infinite was a year after release and how we can now finally discuss Fallout 4's issues on Reddit and the Steam forums without children harassing you.

Noo Notch we had high hopes for you after your mansplaining rant.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't get how can you get scared from no-lifer gamers threatening you? I'd just go: yeah, whatever, fuck off idiot.

Some of them do take it to extremes, though. In 2011 I had some bloke continuously harass me in a gaming site's comments section and it was easy to shrug off and laugh about. Where it crossed the line is when I started getting anonymous emails to a private email address with pictures of my family taken off my Facebook page accompanied by messages about how they're going to cut their eyes out and stuff. I had to lock down all my and my family members' social media accounts. It was obviously some bored kid who took a joke too far so I was never overly concerned, but it was creepy nonetheless.

So I do get how people can get creeped out by it, but the problem is the signal to noise ratio is simply too high. You've got angry feminists on twitter actively courting these messages so they can turn around and claim it as their badge of honor in the cult of victimhood, meanwhile the actual creepy cases like mine probably make out 0.01% of the reports.

J_C you better start writing your UN speech.

"Why didn't you finish the game on time ? I wanted it to play it so bad ! Now I'm going to kill you, because I'm sad you'll finish the game late.".

Perfect logic.

Smells like a red flag.

I *think* NMS planet terrains might finally be Lipschitz continuous *collapses*, nothing prettier than the sun rising over a well formed, continuous SDF. Only took me 3 years to get around to it...

Do you guys know who is behind this game PR and who helped the dev achieved this level of "awesomeness" ?

Spoiler

I am not joking.

 

[Taxnomore]

I was listening to some game jouranlists talking about the game. They believed that the major issue this game was facing was expectations that somehow formed a bubble unrelated to their actual offer. Apparently, the devs are a bit surprised themselves at how much some people are expecting of the game. On all accounts, No Man's Sky is a small game made by a small team. It is not to be compared with the likes of Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and the X series, yet the Internet cannot help to do so because all three have disappointed to some level on these last years.

I'm still looking forward to No Man's Skies and hope to get at least 20 hours of fun out of it.

It looks like it'll be fun for at least 20 minutes.
