  • Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc?

  • I mean, calling me a dick is already an Ad hominem. You are a jerk because you are a jerk is just circular reasoning, so there is just nothing but insults and ad hominem. xD

  • Ain't that the absurdity? It is a silly analogy, and they are asymmetrical; if the same action applies, would it have a different reaction in the other place? Would Hello Games have the reputation as they have now?

    "Why would you force other industry terms on the gaming industry?" Judging from the reply here...well, you tell me...

  • "You, however, had different expectations." Why are you keeping hammering the flight sim angle? Did I say 6 DOF and Newtonian physics? And you wonder I got defensive? xD

    "What does space game even mean? Can’t two space games provide different experiences, a different focus on different mechanics, or is good dogfighting a prerequisite to all space games?" Fair enough, then take it out; the abandoned mode should be the default. Everyone is finding combat so bad that it is obnoxious anyway, and I wouldn't mind for it to become a fantasy planetarium like Space Engine mods. :)

    "I’m not a NMS fan. I think the game sucked. I hate sandboxes." I love them, I can do so much with them, this is not this one, though. Sandbox doesn't mean there is an excuse for bad mechanics.

  • Given the number of upvotes by posts, it seems that the reaction to Hello Game is a reflection to the industry rather than the actual quality of the game and the intention of Hello Games.

  • Lol, thanks, that's a badge of honour in true Reddit style.

  • Yes, I have already said this is commendable...in the gaming industry, but not in other industries in terms of project delivery, hence the building analogy in my post.

  • "Don’t do that?" I didn't press S to win, they still circle around in an arc. And they can barely kill the player when he is not moving. Is that good dogfighting AI in a space game?

    "You are strangely confrontational for some reason." Because it is a common tactic for NMS fans to claim others have "different expectations", which you have done twice already.

    "exploration first" Precisely, Minecraft started as a building game, NMS started as an open-world sandbox, or is it an aesthetic planetarium? Does that mean expecting good dogfights is unwarranted? Would you please check their original promotional material on what they are selling?

  • Fair enough, I will address that. It's a commendable act...in the game industry, but at the same time, it is the professionalism expected in another industry, which is why I brought up the building analogy in my original post.

  • You can support HG, but that doesn't mean that others have no right to think that it is not a smart thing to do. Spare me your ad hominem tactic, please.

  • I expect functional dogfights, not simulator like flight model, but something arcady in a space game with functional AI. How is that an unrealistic expectation?

    Let's not even talk about a simulated universe of faction battles, which Sean even mentioned as being in the game.

  • Doesn't fit the promise made was not the argument; shoddily made, then being reframed into something else was the argument, nor was I expecting a "cinematic experience". And no, I like Minecraft, MC is crystal clear about what it is trying to be: a building game first with an open world and survival element.

    I cannot say the same with NMS and its space tropes and exploration loop.

  • That I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but the mythology of redemption through free update is part of being a beta tester for LNF, that's pragmatism on HG's part shift their burden to the fans, not a colossal fuck-up as you claimed.

  • All I know about CP2077 was that the CEO actually admitted reputational damage to CDPR, which is already a class above Hello Games' silence about their willingness to lie during initial launch.

  • I mean, if the game is actually good with its common space tropes as their marketing materials, instead of having the need to be culturally reframed into a "chill sandbox". 10 years of disjointed game mechanics and bugs still implies bad game design.
