I mean, yeah, a 20 minute one. It’s great.
Proteus with inventory management.

A collection of systems that never really came together in a meaningful way is how I see NMS after playing it for a while. Once I lost my install to a HD failure I haven’t felt inclined to return to it.

I think my judgment is completely blinded by mechs because Battletech gets me hype despite the flaws where I haven’t clicked with hardly any of these computer RPG revivals.

most of the no man’s sky hype was built by fans trying to imagine what it would be like
devs chose to roll with it instead of reigning it in and it cost them dearly

how so? The NO MAN LIES horseshit was completely detached from what the developers actually advertised.

they didn’t shut it down, primarily.
i am not saying they misrepresented their game, but they were pretty categorically unwilling to get out there and correct the misrepresentations that did exist.
I don’t really feel comfortable blaming them for an entitled reddit hate mob that were incensed that reality didn’t match their imagination.

i am really not in the mood to argue any more than this post so i’m just going to say my viewpoint and get out.
part of the job of PR is managing expectations. it is literally a thing they are supposed to do, and it is important for the reasons you saw related to this game. it is something they actively chose not to perform, to assume that it would be good for them. rarely, if ever, has this panned out in the history of videogames.
it is not their responsibility that reddit’s a cesspool of awfulness. it, however, is their responsibility to address it appropriately, because that awfulness affects them if not kept in check, and they had the ability to do so. they just simply chose not to. and it hurt them.
it was not a situation where they had zero control over the mob’s actions, as seen with noisy furor over pronouns on a certain recently released game. (thanks Valve)

so in what way is Sony’s PR not handling things well the fault of the developers?

normal people don’t know or care what reddit users think, though. my friend bought no man’s sky as one of his first ps4 games and loved it both before and after the updates
I mean, that one guy was saying amazing things would totally be in the game, in more than one interview. And then they weren’t.

I did a big hmmm at this post and it just so happened to coincide with me throwing out my back and being stuck in bed for a day and a half so I checked out hearthstone and I can’t stop playing it which is very surprising to me because I bounce off the aesthetic super super hard
I’ve been itching to play some kind of srpg for the past year or so but I’ve bounced off of disgaea and tactics ogre and fft. playing hearthstone, though, I think maybe this was actually what I was looking for all along. it feels like active competitive problem solving and that’s so sick!
i’m not able to buy packs of cards right now to have any sort of real competitiveness in ranked so I just grind missions and then play arena every time I have the gold for it. last time I played I got 4 wins! felt really good about that. also the single player roguelike lite content is surprisingly satisfying and you can make some really goofy gimmick decks with it that are a lot of fun to experiment with.

It’s grid based hearthstone and it’s entirely decent

Eldorado Gate D1S2: i had to walk around a cave a bunch with a teleportation puzzle. I had to sacrifice my voice and hearing for magical masks to get stronger. I wasn’t strong enough because the boss two shot me. Which uhhhh…okay game with no levels thanks. Guess I lost. I learned a powerful lesson in not healing enough because I have finite heals and was stuck in a teleportation maze.
I think I am done with this experiment.

Evergrace’s first hour is very chill and eerie. Then I enter the dungeon and the game becomes incredibly stressful and difficult. At least the dialogue has some gems.

It’s the same guy, right? Definitely play both.
I got Yakuza 0 after the forums talked about it a lot and am loving it!
Today I had 1 hour to play, I just had to advance to the story objective, I really didn’t want to get sidetracked again after already spending too much time monday in the disco.
Instead I met a Mr Shakedown, who took all my money. Fought goons to get at least some back, and went to the drugstore to buy medicine items for the eventual revenge against Mr Shakedown.
Bumped into two guys who wanted me to be a stand in for a TV producer, the story is too long to tell but I picked all the wrong choices and got a bad item.
Found a telephone card C and went back to the weird rich dude who gave me 5 million yen for it.
Bought wine and got treated to fine ads.
Told a cop that he had courage in his heart after he told me I had a kind heart after another sidequest
Met Mr Shakedown again, went into Rush mode and Dark Souls circlestrafed around him, got 180 million yen (!)
Bought a 30 million yen fishing pole (!!) 50 million yen pocket car (!!!) and blew the rest on new pocket car gear. Costumized pocket cars and humiliated young children in pocket car races, and I have to say that Kiryu’s absolute intensity when it comes to pocket cars, both in victory and defeat, is the best part of the game.
I had 5 minutes left and just wandered around buying smile burgers and hand bags.
