I mean i enjoyed my time in NMS for what it was but this video man.... brutal truth. Just goes to show we need to be much more careful as consumers. :/

Where do I say anything resembling this? My initial post in this thread was directed at someone still claiming that nobody knew "what you do" in this game. The core gameplay loop was known, and it is what they said it would be. The features around that are absolutely questionable in terms of whether they delivered or not.
Didn't people continue to buy Lionhead games while Molineux was there?
You warp to the center, and it does this dramatic zoom out of all the other planets you can go to and it says "New galaxy discovered" and you start over, like a NG+
This video had to be done.

Christ! lol

Don't you need resources for your life support systems i.e. just to walk around? I don't own the game btw, that's what I've seen in some streams.
Are you for real?
Well, reflecting on the whole video, it does seem like the people saying "The devs were misleading about aspects of the game" are right after all.

Regarding sales: gonna be fun when their next game is announced and nobody wants to buy it.
Shit hurts your name.
They may be right but it's a small team of only 15 people, they don't have the resources of AAA productions. What they accomplished is already impressive enough.
Holy shit Brandon Jones' rant is amazing in hindsight.

Lionhead games were much better than this half-baked rubbish, except The Journey. Even Fable 3 has more going on for it than this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opr_XFCF0lA&feature=youtu.be&t=7700 - Mini-rant about EA right after their E3 conference, of course in this case, everyone else was with him (it's done once they start talking about bets)That gt live guy had me off the walls. I'd like to see more his rants.
So somebody spoilertag for me, what is at the center of the universe lol?
The problem here is that someone confused infinitely spawnable planet terrains with being able to do infinite things and with having infinite content that 'even we don't know about' ( per the dev). The procedural generation is not deep enough to live up to the suggested possibility of those statements.
Sadly I think hello games knew this. But the hype was so easy to sell. People got so excited by the suggestion. And they just rolled with it. They were encouraged to do so by the wide eyed excitement of their audience, the media and the scent of success. It's hard to pull the handbrake on that snowball once it starts.
I say this as someone who likes the game but who saw this coming a mile off. My only hope is that it doesn't poison the well for other games that use 'procedural generation' later , that could more convincingly deliver on the promise. Tech will get better. I think in this case people were too willing to believe in magic - tech they didn't fully understand - and they weren't discouraged by the devs. It might be arguable the devs were exploitative of tech naïveté. But the baby shouldn't go out with the bath water.
I enjoy No Man's Sky more than any of the Fable games other than the original for sure. Could challenge that one too.
This is brutal. Not inaccurate though from the amount i've played so far.
Still, some people jive with what it offers, but I have to say I'm glad I'm not the only one that never quite got what the "hook" was besides "fly to planets and get stuff"
Oh, yeah I think so. I guess you can't then.

There will still people that will say people are making this up despite this though.
It's not questionable though.
Features shown in "live demos" and in Sean's own words have been ripped from the game. This is very clear cut, I hope.
Additionally, Sean's claims that you didn't need to constantly be gathering resources were intentionally obtuse.
Factions/trade outposts/ship classes/participating in war/scan to meet up with other players purposefully were used to make players think NMS was bigger than it was. Blatantly or by heavy insinuation.

Edit: People casually playing the game just hoping to explore without a constant need to mine Carbon/Plutonium, as Sean said, also are going to be disappointed.
How far has Sean Murray fallen on the public eye. From indie dev darling to being accused of being a liar of almost pathological levels.
Spoole was right

He roasts people who need roasting.I haven't heard of Crowbcat before, anyone have a Cliff Notes guide or more info?
Absolutely on point. The fact that 3 other dudes who are supposed to be journalists were just looking at him, dumbfounded, is why games press is so bad. They're just low-rent PR for the most part. The press should have been savaging Murray for all his overhyping and vague comments. Letting a dev get away with not revealing features of the game to "avoid spoilers" and shit like that is appalling.
