How Media Hyped Game Reaction on Release

You know that you fucked up when your game gets a 6 from IGN, even though Sony paid to advertise the game on IGN's front page. Spore got a 8.8 from IGN for Christ's sake.The sad thing is that even if you forget all of the lies by Hello Games and how they completely misrepresented the game and continue to do so (just look at their Steam page, it still shows the E3 videos which are nothing like the game) and even if you knew nothing about the game and expected only a relaxing space exploration/survival game, it still fails miserably.

But each procedurally generated planet could have a mass, and from that mass you generate a gravity figure. You don't even need to have gravity affecting other planets (though that would be a nice touch). High gravity would be harder to move in and require more resources for flight, and vice versa for low grav, but then things like mineral density would be far high on high G than low G, and a higher occurrence of rare minerals on high G.In that sense, NMS perfectly managed to inspire others into a ponderous exploration of what exploration in the game could be like - unfortunately, Hello Games forgot to actually write the book to go with it.

I played it for 2 hours, and felt like I got the entire gameplay experience. I flew a ship, I mined some resources, I went to a few different systems, named some planets, plants, animals. Went to a space station and bought/sold some stuff, talked to a stupid alien that just taught me a word.They didn't fuck up at all. They set out to make a lot of money and they did. The people who fucked up are the people who bought the game.It might very well be possible to attach MP sessions to the game. There won't be a persistent universe like MMOs but you should at least be able to meet up with someone.

Return them for wallet credit if you get rejected a lot. That way they're still keeping the money and you just invest towards another game. I went through all the tutorials (took quite a while), loaded up creative mode again. Now I'm ready. Spent 45 minutes building what I thought was an awesome ship. Tried to take off and it just fell apart. 10/10 will play again this evening.To be fair, first one is by Mitch Dyer and the second one is by Dan Stapleton. From what I can tell, Mitch was the news editor at the time, while Dan is the reviews editor. It's important to look at the writer of the article in addition to websites, some writers are more infamous for their opinions/attitude than others. Really, I think websites should put out more articles that are an aggregate of the opinions of their primary contributors so that situations like this don't happen as often.
