"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls" – Joseph Campbell
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.
Orbital update drops today, also bringing with it engine improvements and UI refresh.
If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.
If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.
Speak with your wallet!
I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.
GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.
I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.
I have most of them 😅
Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
Rewrite gaming history? C'mon now guys. Stuff like this is why we're so underwhelmed by games. Stop building up the the hype to monumental heights.
As awesome as this game looks, I'm still not convinced there is actually a game in it yet! Even the gameplay trailer just showed more of the same, granted - it looks amazing but I think they hype needs to drop or we may be disappointed!
This game looks to be like a decent exploration game, however everything ive seen gives off the vibe of being very limited in interaction and alot of emptiness. Even the devs stating that in terms of mp there wont be that much interaction is putting up red flags. I doubt its their fault, itll probably be due to the lack of funding and it being indie.
Rewrite history? We hardly know anything about the game other than you get to fly around in a universe that is vast and interaction with your friends are almost impossible. The idea of exploring millions of planets is a cool idea in theory but we don't know the repetitive nature of the gameplay. If all you do is explore planets and collect resources and trade them in for money and supply at the nearest space station, then it can be the downfall of the game as it will be boring after a week or so.
I am hoping there will be more gameplay and ideas other than what I am seeing so far in a brief video preview.
I've heard of hype - but rewrite gaming history! This is a 10 man team with a $1 million budget! This is an indie title not AAA.
Everybody is whining about the negative Order articles. This is why these games are destined to disappoint. It might be a good game. It MIGHT even be the best indie title of 2015. But it's more likely a low budget, Carebear version of Elite Dangerous. And I am SOOOO pissed I spent $60 for that title.
These guys need to be reducing expectations and they need to release at a $19.99 price point like Ori - or this is going to end BADLY.
