Never giving this studio another $ after the NMS launch lies.

  For anyone curious, Crowbcat had a great recap video of just how egregious the launch was. https://youtu.be/A8P2CZg3sJQ?feature=shared https://youtu.be/A8P2CZg3sJQ?feature=shared

  For what it’s worth, Hello Games spent so much time fixing the game that people bought a billboard saying Thank You outside their office years later. The game still gets regular content updates, for free 7 years later and is now one of the better console VR games out there. In terms of long term support and content updates the amount of companies providing free content for games 7 years after release is extremely low. I think the release history warrants waiting until after the initial release to make a purchase decision (as people should with any game), but if it demonstrates the level of quality and polish I have come to expect from HG after patches I’ll have no problem forking money over for this. NMS is a fun game with some flawed design elements. I hope that the designers address those in what looks to be a spiritual successor to NMS. If it’s just more of the shallow procedural saminess that indunated the first game it will probably be a pass from me though, I could just play NMS for that

    I bought it later and it was a good value they really did a lot with it. Honestly if they just did some better writing on the scripted stuff it could have been quite a bit better even if they changed nothing about how anything actually played

      Yeah, the campaign that they patched in was enjoyable, given that I’m a goal oriented player I really would have liked them to flesh that out more. I think there’s real potential if they hired a proper script writer
