No Man’s Sky Already Feels Like a Distant Memory

No Man’s Sky was an exercise in having reality smash expectations.

[IxWoodstockxI]

I'm just here to read the comments from the No Man's Sky Defenders. It's hilarious so in denial.

[Skankinruby]

I do the exact same thing for no man's sky haters. Their inability to support their blabbering is absolutely hilarious.

[bouzebbal]

i didnt buy it and i never intended to.. videos and gameplay shown was enough not to grab me. I knew the crazy number of planets will be challenged by the variety.
99% of games made by the biggest names in video games nowadays don't manage to provide variety in a single locked pre designed world, so how can an indie studio from Joe Danger make something this ambitious and actually impossible even on paper. A generation algorithm sounds like a good school project, but was clearly limited regardless of the lies given by the most boring man on earth (Sean Murray).
Unfortunately gamers keep biting and believing every hype out there, they are the ones to blame.

[Silly gameAr]

That's the fun in all of this for trolls.

[TC731]

They have to defend themselves. If they don't, they feel stupid for buying into the hype. Sci-fi fans hate nothing more than to feel stupid.

[FunkyBoy]

I didn't keep up with it in terms of news and the hype train so I wasn't disappointed. Thought it was pretty fun actually. But if u wanna get up votes then keep beating a dead horse

No Man's Sky Defenders

Is that a mobile game?

[Orbilator]

Read away. Im enjoying it and play it every day between 2 -4 hours. In the end though im not here to defend the game but to belittle articles that claim to speak for everyone. They dont. If i like a game i like it simple. no mans sky gives me everything i wanted from it. Its not missing anything that i wanted. Ive even traded my hard copy in and bought it for 50 in digital format as im no longer buying any disks from now on. I just hope sean and the team have a filter to block out sh@t articles like this. Im not really sure any game has come out this last couple of years that there hasnt been a hate campaign about. Even games like Quantum Break and UC 4 have been attacked and they are both wonderful games.

It's a bit weird that you're not permitted to like something for what it is. I watched the trailers, saw the interviews and I never thought this game to be more than what I got. I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to what comes next in the NMS universe.

[DanteVFenris666]

Octahedron your right. People took every single minour detail they could find and use it to ripped the game. That Reddit post even complained about features missing that were in the game.

No one promised it wasn't going to repetitive, no one promised the centre would be worthwhile. The point of the game was infinite planets and they nailed it down quite well. At least better then anyone up to this point

[DanteVFenris666]

You know it's okay for people to like something you don't. What's sad is you got off of this hate.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Well that's what happens when the media has it's way. It can either destroy you or feed everyone with endless praise, whether you want to hear it or not.

[Concertoine]

Yeah, its the medias fault. Not the game being fundamentally disappointing to so many

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Right over his head.

[DanteVFenris666]

First off the game was hated by a lot of people who never played it or probably couldn't(Xbox fanboys).

Then the unrealistic expectations ruined it. It's a fun game and as a gamer I play games to have fun not to cause drama.

[Sm00thNinja]

It would have been dead already if articles like this weren't specifically meant to goad players who enjoyed the game to defend it. Smh

[rainslacker]

I do kind of wonder how a game that gets talked about daily, and criticized, and defended daily, with such fervor is somehow a distant memory.

However, I do agree, most times something bad comes along and pisses people off, or things fail to live up to expectations, it dies down within a week....tops...then the occasional yearly article about it, which only highlights how insignificant the outcry was, or list of bad things we've seen makes it's way to the press...and we reminisce about it because it is a distant memory, which we stopped caring about long ago.

I do enjoy the game. Most of my contention now is based on articles like this, and people's reaction to it not being like the aforementioned paragraph. But at times, I'm somewhat conflicted, because I also feel that I should be supporting those who have an outcry about it, because I do agree with at least the principals they're trying to rail against, and would actually like to see more people keep holding devs/pubs accountable for things like or similar to this which we don't approve of. I just find the way they do it here to be utterly distasteful on so many levels....and while I know people will come in and say how I'm the problem, I think their words are actually worse than the "lies" which Murray perpetuated upon the consumer. Hence, I don't like to associate myself with most of them, or appear I support their brand of moral righteousness. The unfortunate side effect is that it makes me appear to be some sort of defender, even though i have criticized what went down on some points with those who can remain reasonable, and appear to want actual meaningful change from it all.

This guy possesses a rarity that few on the Internet have ever had. The ability to communicate logically and with a sound mind. As opposed to endlessly bashing a game "just because"

[Servbot41]

You can enjoy something and realize and admit it's heavily flawed. The problem is people try to justify purchases by becoming apologists for the product, whether it be garbage games like No Mans Sky, movies like Batman V Superman, or Monster brand cables, so they act like the thing in question is infallible.

[TheColbertinator]

Hype hype hype. Everyone asked "What is it?".

Even the creators had no idea what it is. NMS is finished.

[Christopher]

So distant, you had to write about it... Doesn't seem that distant at all to me.

[Mithan]

Crap game, but hey, blame me. Clearly MY expectations were all wrong!!!! Next time, I will expect Hello Games to release crap and then I can be pleasantly surprised if they don't.

[Orbilator]

Whats your ps4 gamer tag? Just wanna see how much time you put in on it before labeling it crap ;)

[Mithan]

60+ hours.

[Gaming4Life1981]

No mans sky is a distant memory for me at least. I love space and exploration games but no mans sky has to be my least liked game of the year. It has to do with all the lies and the fact that steam wont remove that bulshit trailer from the store page lol. Its good to hear that some people like it and it has a modding community but i will have to think real hard if i ever buy another game from this dev again.

[Maxor]

Another over hyped exclusive bomb. This gen really sucks.

[Perjoss]

Except it was multi platform.

[Orbilator]

Bomb it did not.

[hahaha]

Because I want to forget this painful memory.

[brich233]

just uninstalled it about 5 minutes ago

[SojournUK]

Not played it for ages, anything been added yet to worth revisiting it?

[Sam Fisher]

It feels like a distant memory bc mostly everyone got their money back, if it wasnt for that it would sting like an fresh open wound

[rainslacker]

I'd honestly be surprised if more than 1% of the purchasers got their money back. I know the media about it was pretty big, but I don't think that actually translated into "most" by any stretch of the imagination.

Probably got more refunds than a normal disappointing game would through whatever means that's available to, but I think that's probably because the media made it into a thing where one could easily get one, despite subsequent reports actually saying it wasn't that easy.

[burza1982]

I agree with tittle.

[monkeyfox]

Just came on to say I really liked this game. Can't wait for the updates...

[starforge71]

i waited to buy it tbh glad i didnt

[x_BlackRose]

To each their own. What does it say about any of you that you come here to relish in other people's so called denial? Who cares if they like the game, to each their f**king own. Grow the h*** up, it's a game. Some liked it, some don't. No normal person would go around on the Internet clicking on articles that pertain to a game they don't like just to get their rocks off

[Gaming4Life1981]

People come here to give their opinions and discuss things, what exactly is wrong with doing that?

[DimensionalSound]

It's an experimental, avant-garde game--as it was always meant to be. I don't lend out my John Cage cds to my friends who are Metallica fans.

[JasonKCK]

Sure it is lol. Hello, it's still getting articles written about it every day?
