trentonlf: I've thoroughly enjoyed NMS, it's a game I would reccomend to people. But for me any game I can get 20+ hours out of it and enjoy them the game is worth it. Games are like books, it all depends on someone's preference as to whether they will actually like it, very subjective.

Darvond: But would you charge 60 dollars for a choose your own adventure book?
NMS is not a choose your own adventure book or game so your question does not pertain. If you perceive it as a choose your own adventure book then we perceive it in a different light.

If you weren't part of the NMS hype, are not disappointed due to broken promises because you had never heard of these promises, it all boils down to a matter of taste.
People will pay € 60 for GTA 5 because they enjoy the game.
I would not because I wouldn't enjoy it. It's not for me.
I don't mind other people buying, playing and enjoying it though.
*shrugs*


Also it's not the first time a game did not deliver what was promised. Spore is another such example. And I don't see people calling for that to be removed from GOG.

NMS is DOTY, as in "Drama of the year".

Damn! everything around this game is messed up: bad pc support, no updates, no communication, misleading/false advertisement (it's being investigated by the ASA btw) and now a civil war on reddit.

I'm just amazed how much a FOTY can do.

And soon, probably a civil suit.

I wonder when the price for this game is going to come down... I didn't get hit by the hype train so the worst that can happen if I purchase this game is I'll loose some cash and my GOG library will be corrupted by its perverted presence :p Anyway, that $59.99 tag is just a little too much for this title, just my opinion. I might buy it when the price drops. But drop in price it must!

I think it's valid for sale, just not for 60 smackers.

Maybe...somewhere in the range of 15-20.

I'm going to assume the price will drop to $14 or there abouts. Otherwise with knowledge of how much of the game is lies and missing features, this game won't make any further sales.

Darvond: ...
Well, sure. If your idea of cool is inventory management, repetitive planets, possibly having your progress erased every week, and there being no grand point to it all.
On the other hand, maybe you should have waited to see what kind of game it was going to be before actually buying it.
Everything you just complained about was already mentioned in pre-launch videos and interviews.

I didn't buy it. :P

I'm just reporting this mess to GOG.

BoxOfSnoo: ....There's no possible way NMS lives up to the hype, but after the smoke clears, it's probably still a pretty cool game. I have no reason to take it out of my wishlist.
Everyone interested in the game developed their own idea of what NMS would be like.
We all do that, sometimes we get what we had imagined in our heads ... sometimes we don't. We've all been there.

Mainstream media and popular YouTubers also managed to impart their ideas and thoughts onto their fans.
This too lead to the mass confusion about the game.

The difference here is that I could see from miles away what kind of game NMS was going to be like. The developer's constant reference to space simulations and games like Elite Dangerous, made me expect Euro Truck in Space, where the fun of the game lies in the journey - not the goal.

This is typical of simulation games, from Train Simulator to OMSI - The Bus Simulator. There's no real goal in these games, no over-arching mission or end-game, you enjoy the mechanics and the journey from point A to point B.

Maybe it's because so many gamers today experience a very limited range of games. If they had experience with actual simulation games, instead of Goat Simulator, they might have had more realistic expectations about NMS.

Murray also made many statements implying that NMS would be a lot more than just your typical space simulation, and didn't stop until just before the launch.
