I never understood the hype people got caught up in for a goddamn indie title. This never was going to deliver the revolution people were imagining, solely based on common sense. The backlash was predestined.

I'm so glad I didn't buy into the hype and dodged the bullet.
I was never planning to buy it anyway. >.>

I've not seen anything like that in the game yet and I've played around 30 hours.

Why wouldn't this just go in the review thread? Does there need to be another thread for people who don't like a video game to collectively get angry about said video game?

Except Indie games are usually far more revolutionary and innovative than any other type of game.

Same boat. I considered it but I was waiting to see more for the $60 tag.

Go play every indie game on Steam and then come back and tell me you still believe this hogwash.

Man I don't think I have played the game long enough because I haven't countered any of those funny glitches.

That's the myth. The reality is sometimes different.
Sorry, I am hype incarnate, and that will not change in the foreseeable future.
This is a good post, Junior. I like it.

The reality is the majority of indie games aren't innovative and revolutionary the problem i have when people bring up absurd statements like that is those people only play the games that get hailed as "innovative" "brilliant" or "revolutionary" they don't play the other 20,000 indie games that range from terrible to average.

Well you know I was to be gentle...
That video hit the nail on the head.
Sean Murray danced with the celebs, relished all of the publicity and released his game for £50. This is not an indie game and he obviously doesn't view it as one.
I pre-ordered this game from PSN store and can personally state that I can't remember the last time I've been deceived and disappointed in any game for a very long time.
The game is a total piece of shit and I don't trust the studio to ever fix it.

I didn't say every indie game was revolutionary though.
They often aren't, but if we just stick to those that are revolutionary/creative. Since they absolutely do exist.
Those indie titles are often small in scope. They do one or two very creative things incredibly well, and know to stick with it. No Man's Sky had huge scope, and people were putting massive AAA expectations on it. Expectations that absolutely could not be fulfilled with a team of 12 people. There's only so much they could do.
Even that considered, I still believe they could have handled it much better. The PC performance issues, that stupid online sticker, things like that they should have been able to get right.

GAF needs to grow the fuck up.
Emotionally attaching yourself to a game that isn't even out.
Why?
So you can wait for a review thread and yell "GOTY" in all caps over and over?
Why?
Why.

Triple A marketing + Triple A price = Triple A expectations + Triple A criticism
I find this whole ordeal a bit fascinating. I followed the development casually, and thought it was a neat concept, but never came close to understanding the crazy hype around here for it and the endless threads pre-release. I plan on playing it once it drops in price (which also seems to be the source of a lot of heat). Then again, it appears it's doing well, despite the general backlash. Seems to be a good case study on how to market a game.
I agree.
It should never have been marketed and priced how it was. Hello Games and Sony did not help the situation at all by feeding the hype machine.
Love it.

I don't really get it. Be excited for a game I get, that's all well and good but, don't act like everything is set in stone before you play it.
