I got what I wanted out of the game. I'm not going to argue about it, even with it's flaws I'd take NMS over 90% of the shit that gets released now days.

I only expected the pasta and split the price because we wanted pasta, but fuck that Atlas "story".

Uhm.....This isn't good?

I don't follow the hype machine (or reviews for that matter). I just purchase games on random gut instinct. I did buy No Man's Sky and I had some fun with it but then I started feeling bad about all the strip mining and jumped off the nearest cliff. Then went and re-played the original Deus Ex.

Not to be a dick, but anyone who buys a game nowadays contributes to that. Or are we ignoring all the big AAA games that have released in like the last four years. People would have to be pretty fucking gullible to believe all the hype surrounding NMS before it released. 

NMS is a lazy cosmic exploration game. Unfortunately, its the only game of its type( space exploration ) on the PS4 so I have to take what I can get. Especially since I have no interest in 99% of the games released so far on the PS4 & Xbox One.

The difference lies in whether you accept what they gave you or if you decide to complain.

Personally I don't really see this decline in modern AAA gaming if we're just talking about the amount of content, when I think of some of the games I liked in the SNES/Genesis days that admittedly had very little content by today's standards. Altered Beast was a very short game.

Though it's always bad when developers oversell/lie about the features of their game or release an unfinished, badly optimized mess.

And I think we'd probably get along better if, Stormheart, you didn't waste your time downplaying that, and if others wouldn't act like you're hurting gaming with your low standards.

Congrats, I'm on a console. Not PC, consoles are dominated by the same shit games. So, NMS even with its problems was something different for me to play. If people want to boycott it cuz of what was cut or missing fine, but I shouldn't have to defend my purchase of a game that I mostly enjoy.

**if you think a comment is going to get you banned, don't say it.**

Of course they shouldn't lie. It's a shity & disgusting business practice, but I'm well past the point of caring anymore. I hardly even game anymore. My PS4 & Xbox One usually sit on a shelf collecting dust.
