Don’t ask Lara Croft how come, because she’s not available at the moment. Either way, we are really sure that if other games were to offer some female heroines instead of the male protagonists, things would’ve been completely different."
Despite No Man Sky's rocky launch, Hello Games managed to turn it into one of the best space exploration RPGs out there.
I hate the whole concept of "comeback story" because at the end of the day it doesn't remove the core issue we had in the first place, that we were lied to, it was disappointing and it launched with bare content to what was promised for years.
Any bad game can have a comeback story if it's supported enough after launch but for me if you launch in a terrible state then you had your chance. I can applaud you for what you've done after but at the end of the day there's not much of a choice since most gamers would blank your next product if you ditched your last game so fast, it's not about repairing the game but spending your time repairing gamers trust before you launch your next product otherwise it would be dead on arrival.
With these stories and the games being updated, the only way is up most of the time so of course it's going to improve the game and feel better over all, getting better and better as time passes. No Mans Sky, Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 etc but then you have games like Anthem, Suicide Squad, Redfall and The Avengers where the devs just clearly moved on, now if they have another product people won't be as exited for it, I mean hell Guardians of the Galaxy was a great game but because of the Avengers it didn't help its sales since people were obviously still sour at that point.
I still think despite the improvements to games like No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk along with being better now overall the games are still not up there to what was promised and hyped as for years.
If we keep celebrating these “comeback stories” then unfortunately it only strongly supports the concept that these studios / publishers can continue to push half arsed broken products out for the sake of quick sales instead of waiting until they are fully finished. We need to condemn this awful behaviour or sadly we lose all voice and power as consumers.
I really enjoyed it at launch and had every trophy by August 2016.
The experience I had is no longer in the game: It was just me and my ship. It was a survival game and the feeling of loneliness in the universe was pervasive. There was no way to ruin too far from your ship and, in an emergency, you grenaded a hole in the ground to survive.
I miss that aspect, but since then, I love what they've done.

Ozan Drøsdal tells TheGamer about The Holy Gosh Darn, the final part of the Tuesday Trilogy.
Tidus from Final Fantasy X
should have been? no. simply because all of these characters are fine the way they are, and the author doesn't give any reason as to why these characters would be better as a female, or what they would bring as a female that they couldn't as a male.
Not a single good reason was given for any of these characters to be female,Although i do agree that the TF characters should have optional female versions.Otherwise this list is dumb,Its like some feminist fanfiction.
So essentially, Gordan as a female would have a lesbian connection with Alyx?
Mario as a female would be gay for Peach?
The whole Reptile from Mortal Kombat makes no sense considering that there's Mileena, who is essentially an acid-free version of Reptile, but I guess logic wasn't a strong point of the article (if they at least wanted to go there they could have named Kung Lao instead).
And then we have Agent 47 -- best known for being bald and with barcode -- not sure how that would work.
And the female Scout (as well as the female Pyro) ARE available in Team Fortress, Garry's Mod and other Source Engine games. Are they saying the fem scout should be the default instead of the male? Even so they did a poor job of explaining why.
I'm gonna agree with the general consensus here and say that there really wasn't any solid explanation in the article as to why this should happen.
