lmao that ending.
See people,
Talent always wins
Poor NMS being a mess
I literally just watched a family of Dinosaur like hunters chase down some goat esque grazers. Later in the same planet I saw some of dinosaurs from earlier but they were HUGE. it's fine to not like something, but Jesus, people are so quick to try and tell people they're wrong for liking something they like.
The game sold millions of copies. I would say that's winning.
Did they release sales figures of this game already?
Nope did over 100k in the UK and its up to like 700k on steam or somethingDid they release sales figures of this game already?
What's that Improv clip from?
In one of the videos someone asks him point blank if you can play with another player and he says yes, so it seems that multiplayer was working at some point. I hope they add it back so you could play with at least one friend.
He went off on a rant about EA this E3. It was so good.That gt live guy had me off the walls. I'd like to see more his rants.
If I had to guess I would assume that they were originally planning for the game to be an arthouse thing where you just fly around and look at the results of the procedural generation and nothing more. But then Sony gets involved, mainstream attention gets way out of hand, and suddenly they're caught trying to make the game into something it clearly was never intended to be. I don't have a problem with arthouse experiences but I do have a problem with arthouse experiences that masquerade as actual games, or worse, fail in a misguided attempt to try to 'split the difference' between arthouse and game. That just ensures that you suck at both as opposed to being good at one.
If you could only fly around and explore and the game was $25 that would be great in my opinion; I'm all for diversity of experiences. But if you're going to just throw in a bunch of poorly implemented survival mechanics at the last minute to justify charging $60, then don't be surprised when the kid gloves come off.
So, basically:
- HG/Sean Murray was trotted out to the press a lot, answered questions when they probably shouldn't have since they were still working on the game. (Seeing other players, for example.)
It's kind of a sad attempt to kick a developer who probably was forced into the limelight by a publisher who helped them up on their shoulders thinking this was going to be the next Minecraft.
I wish the tons of other posters flooding every thread with concern/shit posting on the game would own up to never intending to buy it or play it in the first place.

Yep, that exact proposition what had me excited for the game. Turns out all you do is fucking gather resources."you don't have to gather resources"
eh.....
eh.......
eh.......?
Amazing
And there are people defending this

"Nobody really knows what a dinosaur looks like... no one has seen one in real life"
dead.
and can you really play the game without gathering resources?
Absolutely not. Surprise surprise an e3 demo was staged.On PC I've seen skittish animals stand still as a pack of predators attack it and/or run into the nearest cave wall.
So no, I didn't have that experience.
I also sincerely doubt your experience was anything as intricate as the E3 demo.
Do you have citation for that?
Same thing happened to Battleborn with everyone jumping in to the circle jerk of hatred who never had any intention of buying/playing it.
People want to feel cool for hating on shit so now that people are bored with beating the dead horse that is Battleborn they've decided it's NMS turn now ¯\_(ツ_/¯
I'm so glad I didn't buy into the hype and dodged the bullet.
I was never planning to buy it anyway. >.>
so we know that there is no way for players to see each other (judging from that longass thread that got closed)
but do animals actually eat each other or eat the vegetation?
and can you really play the game without gathering resources?
Well, he's also the victim of his own lies, to be fair.The game is everything i expected to be and i like it.
Sean Murray is now the victim of people with silly expectations.
I feel bad for him.

Thst had nothing to do with "what you do" in the game though. It was pretty clear early on that this was going to be a resource gathering game. Go from planet to planet, upgrading your equipment so that you can travel further and further, rinse/repeat. That's pretty much the game we got. Again, that's not to say the game can't be disappointed, there's aspects of it that have greatly disappointed me (the sluggish controls and convoluted menu/inventory systems for one) but it like others have said it definitelyfeels like people on both sides have let themselves get way too invested and attached to the game, the ones that bought into the hype and let their imaginations run wild and thought this would be the only game they'd ever need, and the ones that wanted so badly to see this whole thing blown up so they could be there to tell everyone "I told you so"! Somewhere in the middle there is some reasonable and interesting discussions to be had about NMS but the damage is already done and the game is so incredibly polarizing (and admittedly a lot of that is on Sony/Hello) that you'll probably never get any sane discourse.
