Exploration plus somewhat difficult movement would’ve done/would do it
Like the ships are very sensitive to control and require a subtler hand
On surface your walkspeed is obviously ponderous but you have a similarly sensitive jetpack thing to master
Etc
That dude has some rage. It’s pretty funny.
I saw some of those too! And they were 3 meters tall and scared me half to death.
Here’s my latest discovery, still in the star system of nothing-has-legs. It followed me for a bit after I fed it, making horse noises. I want a plush toy of it. There’s an alternate version with a sort of collar that makes it look like the flatwoods monster.
Can we 3d print plush toys yet?
PSN is making an exception for this game and is now giving out refunds even if you’ve already downloaded and played the game. You have to mention false advertising and bad performance and you get a refund. Pretty crazy! Looks like they’re trying to protect themselves from lawsuits, maybe? I saw a video on YouTube where someone analyzed the game’s promotion and came to the conclusion that according to UK consumer law Hello Games/Sony violated the law. Will be pretty interesting to see if anyone acts on that, though
I mean, Watchdogs, Alien: Colonial Marines and Molyneux games weren’t sued, as far as I know. So why should this game be
weren’t all those games pre-goobergate? Folks have an entitlement complex now.
Kinda tricky to really know. The same thing was being said about Steam but has been officially refuted.
As for false advertising, it’s really tricky. Basically currently overenthusiastic preview feature lists don’t count as it. That final versions differ from the planned feature set is a reality of software and as long as they didn’t put the wrong feature list on the box they risk little to nothing. False advertising is only related to the finished product. Patching has even further muddled the issue.
There’s apps to unwrap 3d models into papercraft models so I guess something like that could maybe be used.
be that as it may, I would really love it if PSN improved their refund policy
There was a suit over Colonial Marines but it didn’t go anywhere.
Steam’s refund policy and prominent user scores are good for quick purchasing decisions. I can’t imagine Sony allowing the latter - for example, Deus Ex is mixed on Steam because of protest reviews against the microtransaction scheme.
I’ve never seen a game with a culture around it so dedicated to self-pleasuring hatred. Damn, they’d crucify these guys if they could!
When’s the next video games crash so these babies can wake up in their own vomit and realize the dream of hating everything is over
I mean like, being disappointed is one thing but I swear there are people who made it their life’s directive to hate this thing before it even fully existed. Fuck gamers? I dunno anymore.
There are things more deserving of this kind of hate.
This insane nerdragegasm is somehow even more frustrating to me than the explicitly reactionary/misogynist ones, because at least there I understood what the ragenerds thought was at stake. Here, though? What’s the angle?
Actually, it’s about ethics in games journalism.
I think the game is cool, but I’ve heard and can wrap my head around two points:
Neither of which are a problem if you don’t have to buy the game immediately. Games are immediately more consumer friendly when you just wait it out.
Good thing you weren’t around for the discusisons in fan forums before the release of Fallout 3. Those guys made the NMS haters look like mildly annoyed customers at best.
To this day I think I’ve never encountered a gaming comunity as toxic and misguided as the hardcore fans of Interplay-era Fallout.
Though to be fair Fallout 3 sucked relative to its genre predecessors a lot more than No Man’s Sky.
In a sense, yes.
In another sense, it was merely a different sort of game (I won’t get into wether it’s “worthy” of the Fallout name or not here)
Also, these guys were lashing out weeks, if not months, before any details of the game were even revealed
Given how Oblivion was such a downgrade from Morrowind, the pre-emptive backlash wasn’t completely groundless.
