Walkable? Gas giants?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Gas giants are theorized to have small rocky or icy cores.

They kept saying gas giants in the trailer and I was like "are you not going to show them?"

Finally realized the rocky worlds they were walking on were the "gas" giants. I'm sure they're cool but they just looked like extra-stormy planets.

Jesus didnt even manage that one

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

If it's walkable, then it would be a solid giant, not a gas giant. What were they smoking?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Finally! I've been waiting forever for this update! It's freaking huge!

[+] [email protected] -28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh hey, we're starting to almost approach the state that they claimed the game was in before launch!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Sounds like you formed an opinion on the game years ago and ignored everything about it since. The game's been pretty good for years now, it had its redemption arc before Cyberpunk made it cool

They were definitely late on delivering for sure but they've gone beyond catching up at this point

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This does not excuse the blatant lies the developer told to market their game prior to release.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Ok, so we're going in circles now?

If the work they've put in since hasn't won you over, great - do other things with your time. If I were you I'd keep in mind that you aren't perfect either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Ok?

You and this other guy sure are stuck on a point I wasn't making. What's that about?

Yeah, I don't support fraud 🤷‍♂️ doesn't matter how much they put into it after stealing millions of dollars through deceptive marketing and flat-out lies.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Doesn't it matter though? Isn't delivering the promised product the correct reparations for failing to deliver a product? Pretty sure it was easy to get a refund back then, too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ok? You know that your original complaint was wrong so you shifted to a new one?

[+] [email protected] -6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How are my two complaints in any way different?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Your first complaint was that the game still isn't complete, now your complaint is that they're fraudsters for not delivering it on day 1.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

So, try and follow me here... if the game still doesnt have features promised at launch, then did it have those features on day 1?

My complaint is the fraud, and always has been. Joking about how it still doesnt meet launch expectations is literally the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can't believe I'm wasting my time on this conversation but here's a spreadsheet from 5 years ago showing what was promised, what was there at launch, and what was there when the list was made for reference.

I haven't played in a few years so I don't know what's changed (aside from unique ships) but that's a pretty complete list. Sure it's missing a few minor things but are you really going to pretend it fell so short of its goals?

No, you're not. That's why you shifted to talking about the sad state of the game at launch...something no one is saying isn't true.

You changed the subject.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

So you linked a spreadsheet that shows I'm correct, and use that to claim that I changed the subject and am shifting goalposts...

If both of my claims are objectively true - based on the source that YOU provided - then did I change the subject or was I just adding additional context? It sure seems more like you're avoiding the subject and attacking a strawman instead of the arguments I made.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're still thinking about this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Who's moving goalposts, now? 😂🤣😂🤣

It's almost as if you realized you were wrong and decided to change the subject. Wild.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

So you were stewing on it for 22 hours, huh?

We agree on the argument you shifted to - they barely delivered the game they promised on day 1. But that wasn't what your first comment said. You said the game was starting to almost approach what they promised before launch.

For at least 5 years, the game has been a few minor features away from everything they promised...while adding a ton more they didn't promise. Do those missing features means the game isn't at it's promised state? You'd be pedantic to buy it would be understandable? Do those missing features means the game isn't 99.99% complete? You'd be a fool to. And you were a fool.

Feel free to get the last word in here.

No Man’s Sky may have started out rough, but I believe the gaming community at large sees them as having redeemed themselves. I’m one of those. I’ve played ‘both versions’ and the amount of work they’ve put into that game is incredible.

Hell, they won an award for best community support last year.

That said, their CEO is out there talking about their new game exactly like he did with No Man’s Sky, making very bold claims. We’ll see how that turns out for them. lol

It's almost as if rewarding fraud instead of punishing it tells them it's OK 🤷‍♂️ crazy how that works
