NMS has changed a lot kinda quietly in the background. Apparently there’s a big free update soon too. I got a decent hundred or so hours.
Fabricant451
Or, you know, let people make up their own minds and purchase what they want.
ThatOneGuyOP
I have over 150 hours in the game.....
WowMuchFuni
No Man's Sky kinda redeemed itself by now, they added a LOT since release
AeternalDreamer
I'm hoping Fallout 76 doesn't disappoint me. I want it to allow for private servers.

I am one of the few who actually enjoyed it. I knew what it was. It delivered the zen garden of exploration I expected.

Don't worry EA's conference was terrible anyway.
NeverFailTheMayor
It was 80 percent sports games. Which I get is a huge community in gaming, but shows they're not focusing on trying to be more creative.
johnrocks
I wish my girl gamed. And I'm not talking about The Sims. That doesn't fucking count.
NeverFailTheMayor
Show her some Telltale games. That was my gateway to playing more PC games and moving on to others.
STGxDante
If you ever watched an e3 in the past decade you'll come to realize it's all lies. Only proof is actual gameplay on the floor.
tzxAzrael
new year, new games, new hype... but remember: it's still the same people selling it.
blackmar
Im just gonna preorder every game that gets announced just to be safe
JoeTheWhite
So, anyone wanna talk about EA 2018 conference or should we just forget it?
SanFranciscoKnights
I think most people were underwhelmed. I liked the Indies, Anthem could be good, other than that it just felt like they had few reveals.
edgeofadhesion
I actually quite liked NMS. It was like game meditation. Wander around not doing anything but exploring. But then I did get it in a sale.
Beeseik
Did you know you can do that in games with actual content as well?
edgeofadhesion
Oh for sure. I'd have been pissed if I'd paid £60 for it
Kaplar
They enjoyed their time with it so that doesn't matter.
Beeseik
Matter of fact, I'll give you that. I just wish the worthy developers got their dollar for making good games.

Omakepants
All them lies they were saying about Anthem
itsPixie
My faith in Anthem has plummeted.
junk4u
When I saw the game last year, I though it was a great concept, but I knew it wasn’t gonna be as good as it seemed.
itsPixie
I was excited d about the concept but realized the execution is going to be garbage.
Thundamuffin
What did you were you hoping for that it didnt turn out to be? Just curious because it turned out exactly how I had expected.
LiterallyYourMom
As always, it'll succeed or fail by its endgame content. People plowed through all the Division/Destiny 2/Wildlands content in mere weeks.
LiterallyYourMom
All of those were fun, great looking games at launch, but once you finished the campaign, there was so little to do except repeat it all.
djml9
I bought Wildlands at launch and i still play it. Took me a few months to beat and 100%, kept playing, they added PvP/DLC.
LiterallyYourMom
Same with D2 & The Division, the problem is the initial wave always lacks content and people abandon it because more games keep coming out.
djml9
Wildlands didn’t lack content though. The base game is very lengthy. The map is massive, there are tons of mission, and it has over 50 guns.

SO MUCH NOSTALGIA
nochance219
Albion Online beta/preorder - game was a total letdown and full of instanced crap when it was supposed to be a "sandbox"
Kodaxmax
Spore was such an awesome game, that could have been a bestseller had EA not meddled so much.
leanestbenis
Too soon..
puffcorn237
Dark spore!
inyourheadunderyourskin
That's a heavy box too
MikeRInternetTraveler
The thick plastic one with Spore critters cut out of it? It's a damn nice package; just too bad the game wasn't what I hyped it to be.
2MuchDog
Yah I oayed too much for that thing. Still have it in a box somewhere
YourUpstairsNeighbor
I played the hell out of Spore years ago, I don't get the hate for it. I was also an early teen when I played it though..
Leonon
It lost features as it went through development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8dvMDFOFnA
terithian
Same. I really enjoyed it for what it was at the time, and was surprised when I found out it has such a bad reputation.
PassionateIndifference
EA was pretty dam disappointing. Just devs talking about the game without gameplay.
bardock
that is all EAs conferences ever are. and they talk like only their investors are listening, so it is all shit buzzword jargon with no real
bardock
passion or conviction behind any of it. how many times did they say "socially connected" or "unprecedented" this year?
Drakenborn
Well there's your first mistake: having expectations for EA. Their sense of accomplishment is one I can do without.
GUNxSPECTRE
S.O.S. looks pretty awesome. Got some real Shadow of the Colossus-vibes, and interesting world setting. Anthem? Meh. Gimme more.
PassionateIndifference
Eh S.O.S, no gameplay no hype dems the rules. They talked about anthem for 20 minutes before showing an edited 3 minute clip.
ilistentorapalot
I know i shouldn't be(yet), but i am so hyped for Anthem. After being let down by destiny 2, and not able to get into war-frame, i want it.
kindofacat
I just hope it's good so dragon age 4 gets a chance to exist
FeyLily
the problem i had was how edited down that gameplay video was. No chance to actually see what was happening
ilistentorapalot
Yea, they left me with more questions than answers, but i do love the lancer designs, and the prospect of boss fights, they kinda have me.
ozzycats
I was sad with them screwing mass effect
shibseki
Mass effect was one of my favorite series. Sad to see it get shit on...
C0mtraya
I hope the franchise doesn't end up like C&C. Become a shitty mobile game that nobody wants to play. The existence of this game is a insult
C0mtraya
for every fan of the franchise. Instead of fixing Generals 2 they give us this crap.
SoulofSilicon
I have a more in-depth strategy. I've been playing Mass Effect: Andromeda through again to remind me of every way EA continues to hurt me.
SanFranciscoKnights
You hate it even with all the changes they’ve made since launch? That seems overly critical. It’s no ME 1 or 2, but it’s a decent game.
Selerox
I appreciate you not mentioning 3. Although I stand by my opinion that 3's actual gameplay was a step up. Shame about the "plot" though...
puddlewalker
3 was good up until the end imo
Selerox
It was good, yes, but it was very obviously unfinished. It's why some Priority worlds were so much bigger and more in-depth than others >>
Selerox
>> Rannoch and Tuchunka were huge, multiple-mission affairs, whereas players are on Thessia and Sur'Kesh for all of 20 minutes.
YoureThinkingOfSomeoneElse
I didn't hear about no man's sky till after the scandal. I saw a friend play it, I bought it, and fucking love it. Fight me.
Xaldyn
Most people who like it like it BECAUSE they heard about it after the fact. People hate it for what they were told it would be but wasn't.
Kodaxmax
i will fucking fight you for supporting such blatant anti-consumer tactics. You should feel ashamed there are plenty of good survival space
Kodaxmax
games that deserve your money. But no you choose not only a shit game but a game that actively harms the industry.

SynonymOfHarmony
No Man's Sky is a becoming a good game though.
Carmichael106
It's been a good game for two years now.
SynonymOfHarmony
Yeah! It's just had a pretty rough start imo.
doommaster1122
It's a game I defend to the grave. I had plenty of enjoyment. It was judged too harshly. Then again, I'm very content with a lot of games.
HtCtiwtchyk
It's becoming better. 2 years later.
SynonymOfHarmony
It's better than nothing I feel, I've made this (probably awful) comparison before and compared how the community received Ubisoft's
SynonymOfHarmony
For Honor and Rainbow Six Siege, games that admittedly failed at launch, especially For Honor and is now beginning to make a come back..
SynonymOfHarmony
For Honor's failure to launch followed by numerous bugs and technical issues seem more acceptable from a Triple A Studio than an indie one.
LazyBunnyKiera
But they're still charging $60 for it. And that's the problem. With how it is now. If they drop it down to $20, it would be a good game.
LazyBunnyKiera
IE.. it's just not deserving of the triple-A price tag. Even after all they did to it.
LionHeart31337
Oh really? I had assumed they just gave up on it. I knew it just needed time, but they shouldn’t have released it so incomplete.
ReaLifeSmeagol
They will never give up on it. They made the game for them, not us.
SynonymOfHarmony
Yeah! It's supposedly getting it's biggest update since release which is adding complete up to 4 player Co-op
ovelanimimerkki
You're correct. But they were in a tight spot. They had already delayed it, it was going to take ages for them to finish it, I mean the >
ovelanimimerkki
game is still not complete, obviously it needed a massive amount of work around it, and the hype train was unrealistically strong.
LionHeart31337
I made another comment similar to yours.100% agree. I don’t blame the developers, I blame the money hungry pricks that pushed it incomplete.
SynonymOfHarmony
Yeah! It's supposedly getting it's biggest update since release which is adding complete up to 4 player Co-op
LionHeart31337
Nice. It looked soooo fun watching people play. I’m just afraid it’s like sea of thieves. A mile wide and an inch deep sort of thing.
blearaghgggeaggh
Depends on what you like. I spent about 70 hours flying around and exploring, but once you're bored of that, there wasn't much else to do.
SanFranciscoKnights
They actually did add an entire campaign to it, that takes a couple dozen hours to complete. It’s a nice addition to everything.
Rhulain
Yeah now you can build a base, staff it with aliens, and even do missions.
blearaghgggeaggh
Updates have made it better, though.
filthytank
They’ve been doing a lot with it lately, worth checking out if you still have it, a lot of updates with a bunch of content, still meh thou
Kenona
Polish a slab of mud til you can see your relfection, the slab is still made of mud. No amount of polish can fix no man's sky.
PixelSprite64
Is "meh" really worth checking out?
CyberAkuma
Still not worth the $60 pricetag on Steam, their reluctance to lower it two years after release is speaking volumes about them.
sheshotyouinthehat
Not while its still listed at a 59.99. Sure I could buy used but the fact it hasn't dropped over a year later will all its problems... nope
mrmillar
I bought it for $6 Canadian, while still not great I put a good 30 hours in and enjoyed the hell out of it
GummyGopher
Recently bought a pre-owned copy of the PS4 version on a whim, so far I've really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the multiplayer update.
Kodaxmax
Tried it at the start of the year, couldn't off the first planet due to not have enough resources to make any progress to get more resources
noxdracoria
I really like it still, and they have proper multi player coming soon, but it shouldn't have been the price at launch for what it was then.
AgolfHiller
Too little too late for that scam. Very glad i didn't buy into the hype
LDSkinny
It's still a $20 early access game they tried to market as a fully developed AAA title. I think that's what really killed it.
Aysling
I bought the prerelease, but didn't follow most of the press about it. Was a bit disappointed - but it's my understanding that they received
Aysling
a ton of death threats when they announced delays. The reporters who reported on the delays did as well. So they released an unfinished game
LiterallyYourMom
That's really more Sony's fault than Hello Games. Sony offered funding, but the project was too ambitious to meet their marketing deadlines.
TheBeardedDragon
It was only £12 on Green Man Gaming a while back, not sure if it still is though
Kodaxmax
it tried to sell of the back of terrarias success, despite being an inferior version of an existing game. just like all the MCclones
roads88mph
Problem is, the bunch of content still isn't what they promised back then.
djml9
If you think that, than you, like many, didnt understand what the game was in the first place.

GingerLaird
It's turned around considerably, but the main theme is still there. Travel to the center of the universe, get flung back and start over.
BlueKarat
Shit, and here I am in my old age thinking the only reminder I need is that I bought Aliens Colonial Marines and that was the worst.
Kopar
I'm with you. Graphics were wonderful but everything beyond that was awful. They had totally asymmetrical levels of effort when creating it.
BlueKarat
I found parts of that game that game that looked as bad as an n64 game. They used pretty much fake footage all the way up to release.
chrisman01
I do. I love it. I have that same box from the same preorder. People expected way too much for an exploration crafting sandbox
Killertomato84
most people just expected what the company promised. They did not deliver on that promise.
BlueKarat
I thought they were promising too much and expecting delivery was expecting too much lol
Vedar
People would have expected less if it was actually described as an exploration and crafting survival game - that part was carefully hidden.
chrisman01
You could see from almost day 1 that's what it was. As soon as gameplay was shown where he was gathering resources with a laser gun.
Vedar
Sure you can pick out bits like that which are obvious looking back, but at the time they were happy to let people run with this false image
Vedar
I think most people expected the resource collection parts to be a minor role of a bigger experience, not the main in-game activity.
Flagrum
Which game?
Killertomato84
what part of "we don't talk about it" didn't you get?

MybolognahasafirstnameitsBAMBI
What did they change?
bagaault
Added basebuilding, excellent story, really fun vehicles, multiple ships, better economy, and limited multiplayer(full MP coming next patch)
bagaault
As it was in the beginning, this was never going to be a game that appealed to everyone - people thinking multiplayer fixes it all are (1/2)
bagaault
ignoring the fact that it's still an entire universe, so unless it's direct co-op the chances of random encounters are low. This game (2/3)
bagaault
was never made for the CoD, God of War gamer - it was meant for the "recreate the Louvre in survival minecraft" gamer: long boring gaps.
itsdarkandicantseewhatimtyping
It's a decent game now, but still not worth $60 imo.

Eeeh.. not really. They added a bunch of superfluous detail to give the illusion of "content" with restrictive basebuilding. /1
Fheuef
You literally only have to change a "false" to a "true" in a simple config file to make it totally unrestricted.
NothingButTheWorst
The fact you have to do that is telling enough, isn't it? That also completely ignores the console ports.

No. As you sell to the market the value depreciates. They’ve added a buttload since the game released. Multiplayer still pending.

Multiplayer was limited in the last patch (it existed but no character models). The next patch will include multiplayer if my news is right.
