This kind of thing is why I am looking forward to "No Man's Sky" VR release tomorrow.
No-one is likely to complain when I colonize a planet far off the beaten track where the highest form of life is a small feline creature with tentacles.
- swarnie_ 7y agoAre people actually still playing One Mans Lie? I'd assumed everyone charge backed it on day one....
- barking 7y agoThe company has actually redeemed its reputation by continuosly releasing updates, afaik. Not fair to malign them like that.
- ceejayoz 7y agoConspicuously free updates, too, in this era of DLC.
- swarnie_ 7y agoIf I bought a broken car then the dealership spent the next two years slowly fixing it to match the sales pitch initially sold I'd still be pissed off. Why do people allow game publishers to get away with the crap...
- TheBranca18 7y agoI'm not really following your analogy. A video game isn't a car, a car is a means of transportation that depending on your situation, is a requirement in order to get goods and retain employment. A video game is a hobby for most people, it's like watching movies or television. I'd say it'd be more similar to how people reacted to Lost's final seasons rather than a broken car. One can separate the launch of the game, where clearly there was a lot of confusion and misleading information, from the events since. They have issued free updates for years. They received death threats and other harassment as well. I'm not saying you have to like the game, but I'm just confused as to what they're getting with.
- kebman 7y agoI actually tried it recently. It's gotten a lot better, perhaps even to the point of vindicating itself. :)
- hrktb 7y agoIt seems those who sticked with it got regular updates until it was a decent game. Not playing it myself, just what I heard from the vines.
- pjc50 7y agoI picked it up afterwards at a discount. If you allow for how badly overhyped it was and treat it as a pretty screenshot generator for Roger Dean and Chris Foss fans, it turned out great. (Never buy games on day one, let alone preorder, unless you're entirely comfortable giving the money to the developers for nothing)
- PhasmaFelis 7y ago> One Mans Lie Do you say "Micro$oft" and "Crapple" too? Haven't seen those in a while.
