XMNR: Dragon Con hosted a video game panel Sunday that packed an Atlanta, GA Hilton Hotel conference room to the point that some attendees had to sit on the floor. The hot topic was the console wars between the PS4 and Xbox One where the PS4 was the most favored next-gen console by those in the room but the conversation primarily revolved around the Xbox One.
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.

Hollow Knight: Silksong’s new collectible that succeeds the popular Grubs has the potential to deepen the mysteries of the new world.
Of course the Xbox One was the most discussed.
- There is alot to say about it.
- Microsoft isn't good at talking about it themselves.
Of course the PS4 was favored.
- It's pretty much better at everything, if you feel like that's incorrect feel free to speak up.
Every one prefers something else, sometimes both. I dont see the point arguing. You wont curse someone for liking pizza rather than meatballs.
I would say that "talking more" means almost nothing, if anything its negative. One is most talked about around my friends too, why? Because they are all going "I can't believe they messed up!!!" lol
Maria your so biased its ridiculous. No one takes you serious. Just the fact that you refuse to be a dual console owner makes your point invalid IMO. To think that only one console will have every aspect sown up and on its side is just being narrow minded.
What Ev... enjoy your PS4. Ill enjoy X1 first then PS4 when naughty and santan monica come to rescue their anemic lineup.
People who buy consoles off of popularity ain't really buying it for right reason. Being negativity towards something has never stopped me from making my own choice, I'm still good with the X1.
Bad PR. Ok. I think the DRM 180 is hurting them more than they're letting on. There was SOME truth to when Major Nelson said they can't just flip a switch. This is the result of flipping it anyway.
The system isn't broken, none of the "added later features" affect my place of dwelling...it's still a go come launch.
