    I don’t believe Sean Murray and I will not be buying this game at launch or even for several years.

    I still don’t own No Mans Sky and it’s specifically because I’m pissed off that people think it’s some kind of great redemption story. It’s not.

    It’s a hellish nightmare indicative of the current state of the gaming industry.

    Small studios have to manufacture impossible hype in the hope their game sells, then they go about fixing it, even though they promised features at launch and all they are really doing is just giving you the product you already paid for.

    What other product would people ever be happy with this arrangement?

      Fr I went back and played a little bit of it after dropping it like a week after launch.

      Still bugged asf

      Dogfights still deteriorate to drones flying past you at mach 1 and landing one shot while you slowly try and keep them in frame, only for them to blow past you again.

      I ended up in some town that was attacked by sentinels, fuckers were constantly healing each other through the wall.

          While obviously subjective, this comment is hilarious to me because after trying to get into Starfield for a dozen hours or so I just couldn’t enjoy it and started up a new NMS file.

          I have yet to see anyone say starfield does better than no mans sky.

          Most people started playing no mans sky because of starfield, usually.

          Youre the first Ive seen who would suggest the opposite

            I prefer the combat of Starfield, no mans sky is worthless gor that itch for me. But the difference comes down to prefering a space themed bethesda game over a space themed survival crafting game.
