It's become a very fun space game.
..Cake..
This legitimately one of my favorite games. Childhood dream to explore space and man, this game provides that for me!
Biggest redemption story in gaming history. Period.
Love the game, love the team.
My biggest beef with NMS is that you cannot do anything Wrong , its a very weird feeling , as you just coast thru this game knowing there is no wrong decision to be made .. Just mars the immersion and fun for me ...
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

If it is not, please indulge me in how the marketing for No man's sky was not misleading when the game was launched in an unfinished state. I get that it was not perhaps the intention while promising intended features for a game, but that does not excuse it.
Any game that lunches in an unfinished state and is advertised as a new title without an early access program is a scam, they are sadly far from alone in this. But talking about features that isn't in the game as if they are, needs to be specified as intended features not existing features. There are also cases where Sean Murrey lied about how the game worked in general.
I didn't buy the game at launch and wasn't intending to do so either at the time, I am just simply stating that it's great that they managed to turn it around how they did since they took the money, I might even buy it one day since it's starting to look really good.
But I am taking everything Hello games do in the future with a grain of salt.
When people talk about Hello Games and the rough start of NMS they tend to forget (or not know) the role Sony played in all of that. First of, Sony hyped Hello Games and their product and when there was enough interest they threw them in front of the press to fend for themselves. As we all know, that didn´t really work out. A strange thing since Sony has quite a huge PR department and Hello Games was just an indie developer, there is a reason PR is a job, Murray and Hello Games were, logically, not up to the task.
Secondly, when you talk about also doing the work I guess you weren't aware that a natural disaster hit the Hello Games offices destroying roughly 40% of the work done on the game. Kind of shitty when you have a deadline to make and have promised quite a bit you now can't live up to.
Hello Games didn't whine, they didn't point fingers, they didn't give up, they simply went back to work after the game released and added everything promised, and more. At breakneck speed I might add, without charging a penny extra. These guys didn't just do the work, they did it twice.
So yes, Hello Games and Murray shouldn't be allowed near a PR event ever again and just do what they are supposed to do, make a good game. However, Sony really made a few bad decisions here and it would be great if people would stop blaming Hello Games for them.

I think it's #2 behind FFXIV's relaunch.
