Is no man's sky the biggest marketing stunt in gaming history? They release a shit game that's so disappointing...

To be fair they probably single handedly have caused tens if not hundreds of thousands of people to think twice about pre-ordering game.

It's good, but they are using an older version of steamVR so moving your hands around is jittery (like fallout 4) They better fix that shit

At this point NMS is nearing Witcher 3 and BOTW levels of making people seethe

I wonder how that cunt must've felt in that moment, when he fully knew he didn't have even a semblance of the product he was selling to everyone

This, I haven't preordered a game since. I do like the stuff you can do in the game but holy fuck did they ever bullshit their way up to release. The subreddit is plagued with fanboys who choose to ignore the past and pretend this sean fuck is some sort of misunderstood genius

at least both those were games

What a joke. I hope birds shit on it and bums piss on it.

people are so butthurt that they can't make fun of this game anymore lol

>Is this the best way to sell a game?
By telling no one your ‘released’ game is actually in early access? Don’t ever do this bullshit again.

Still wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle

>I hope birds shit on it and bums piss on it.
That will show them LOL

Companies are getting too lazy to make content to sell as DLC so they'd rather release some unfinished piece of crap and do the work later. "Games as a service" is just a flowery way of saying "we'll finish this game later."

>3 years since release
>we still don't have the multiplayer that was promised
>can only join lobbies where you get teleported temporarily to the host's planets

>winner gets a % of the profits while he's god
>never actually made any money because the game didn't turn a profit
maximum kek

Even today it's shit.
Right now it's being review bombed on Steam again because the latest version is crashing and full of bugs.

This was the saddest part about this game, the fact that we couldn't venture with someone similarily to Journey and part ways at any time or team up and explore together was a massively missed opportunity.

This. They fixed the community's delusional hype for games that aren't even confirmed good yet.

Ted Cruz

no because massive damage was done to hello games.

Imagine being in that room and watching all those guys, in dead silence, standing there with their mouths open

Paying yourself to advertise some company's shite game, holy shit, can people get anymore pathetic than this?

reminder these guys took your preorder money and went to burning man while the slaves stayed home and released an completely unfinished game.

Lets say we had a time machine and we could send the source code for the current build of the game back to December 2013 when it showed up at VGX giving them enough time to fine tune it for whatever changes it'd need to support everything circa 2016.

How do you think the game would be received in 2016 when it launches and remembered in 2019. Do you think everyone would still hate Hello Games? Or would it be considered a bastion of the western indie scene up there with games like Minecraft, Hollow Knight, Undertale, and Shovel Knight.

The VR is comfy though, nice to for just some casual exploration Comfyness
Though there is two major problems with VR NMS though and they are
>The ship Combat
>and how its obviously designed around the assumption you are going to be Sitting in a stationary chair and not even spinning around
The former is just due to how sensitive turning and controlling where your ship goes is in VR
and the later is due to the fact that the Hud is permanently Stuck facing the 'Front' often causing you to not be able to see how much health you have or Ammo left in your gun and how whenever you go to interact with something like an alien or anything that pops up an inventory/dialog box it will usually awkwardly jump you in front of it and Facing the completely Wrong way

thanks for the money guys we're off to black rock city™ again to celebrate the latest update to your favorite game No Man's SkY™! we're so glad you can support our camp for the third year in a row! what a great community! be sure to stop by and check our NMS™ camp out on the playa!

Did the latest update break the hands in the ship for you? Whwn I grab anything my hands are moved ahead like 3 inches

Yeah I don't understand why they attached camera movement to the HMD but not the HUD or directional movement.

No it's announcing your game only a few months before it releases like with fallout 4 or 76 to generate hype.

i wish i could be this happy

its cause its designed for Playstation VR and PSVR doesn't have roomscale Tracking, only Front facing tracking only

if they shifted their alcohol budget to hiring new employees how many competent developers do you think they could hire?

It works on women.
Women don't objectively measure a good's quality. They measure it compared to other things they already know. This means you can prime women by showing them a bunch of expensive things, and then showing her a ""Cheap"" thing that's still expensive, but just less expensive. She'll perceive it as cheap and buy it.

Are people still shilling for this conman?

Same

I was very disappointed when NMS came out 3 years ago, I wanted a form of escapism and it was a big let down.
Last years with the new updates, I had a blast: now I have my own freighter, many ships and several bases on different planets.

I think Sony had a major part in this, since Hello Games never really delivereds, but instead of shutting this game down, years later they are actually creating interesting content that makes the game more complex, and we still don't know how deep can we go.

for once, it's nice to see a game being actually developed over time, and while the full price was an heresy back on day one, to this day I never regret buying it.
I don't think it was a marketing stunt, the game is far from being great now, but it shows how dedicated people can actually make a videogame good with time, patience and care.

i'm surprised they even supported after launch

you are such a fucking faggot holy shit, did you copy paste that from reddit?

what percentage of the staff has changed genders since release?

no but have sex

I mean it worked for Final Fantasy XIV, maybe they're just chancers.

They didn't though

Paying yourself to advertise someone else's product, holy shit, can people get anymore pathetic than this?
Edit: Thank you for the gold, kind stranger!

they have a viral campaign going where (((fans))) bought a billboard to thank the devs

the entire company is the industry psyop and it managed to prove that consumers will suck it down, swallow and ask for more.

It's okay when Nintendo does it tho.

>I had a blast: now I have my own freighter, many ships and several bases on different planets.

Wow, sounds like you're totally playing it and having fun!

Yeah, bro! Multiplayer supports up to 32 players, and there are hot new patches upcoming that'll let you purchase sweet cosmetics to show off to all your friends! They're gonna be super impressed at how cool you look with these cosmetics, and they're available at a discount if you buy the game now!

Welcome to the new age.

Although I don't like Nintendo you have to be utterly brain damaged to compare them to No Man's Sky's devs.

I ask questions AND consume products

Bad goy, stop asking questions.

Yeah, at least No man's sky fans get criticism when they viral market their low tier products. And No man's sky fans are honestly interested in similar products made by indie developers, rather than cheering whenever Hello games sends a C&D.
No man's sky fans? Not so bad.

the game was a good game at lauch, people just were mad that they said it would be multiplayer and it wasn't. In a game in which you were not supposed to find anyone because of how big the 'map' is.
The game is nice for a casual experience, a little repetitive and lacking of definite objectives, but a really nice exploration game if you're into that.

Really happy with what they've done with the game. It's incredibly important to foster an inclusive community at no additional cost, considering the less-than-stellar launch. Speaking of stellar, that reminds me - that shipment to XyzoiID Beta 4342zz has to be delivered or I'll never get that sweet crafting gear I've been eyeing all week. Later peeps!

Well, shit. I really wasn't expecting this.

Nah. The biggest marketing stunts are the games that are hyped to high heaven but never actually get finished after release, because they already got your money.

NMS at least did finish their product, and I'm still kind of surprised they did even though it's afaik no live service game. Most other games that get fixed over time do so because they're still making MTX revenue.

>nooooo stop liking what I don't like!

Not even as embarrassing as Yea Forums making that giant poster for nintendo.

Kill yourself already

what games are you guys talking about

post it

If you like consuming stool that's fine, just don't advertise it.

lying nigger this game was in such a shit state it was literally unplayable. would crash every 10 minutes, psychics was jank as fuck, just absolute barebones garbage. fuck you damage control shill this game was a fucking mess at launch.

That was based

>biggest marketing stunt in gaming history
Chris Roberts: hold my beer

they made bank when that underwhelming shit was released, thus bankrolling them for decades to come. Imagine if they bombed on day 1. do you think they will still "fix" their game for no salary?

So this.. is the power of Sean Murray..

You should know better than to buy games the same day they release. Anyway, first time I played this game I pirated a very early version and it worked fine, had some physics issues but those would mostly be your ship bouncing off rocks or space stations and wouldnt be very annoying or difficult to avoid or get a hold on the ship once it happened. And it never crashed, maybe it's just your shit PC.

Step aside.

People are just hung up on that shit from 3 years ago, which was obviously just a miscommunication (or Sony moved up their deadline) and not some sort of intentional scam. People are just too stupid to use common sense.

The game is amazing in it's current state. It's easily one of the top 5 space/exploration games out right now. The people that aren't into the exploration genre just parrot "It's shit" and call it a scame. Everyone else is enjoying themselves just fine.

Stop whining.

Nobody ever bought that even after all the patches

Imagine defending this

more like scam, and posterior grind
wait until the project finishes, people start getting lay off, and everybody starts talking about what happened and who really paid the toll of all those lies

>The game is amazing in it's current state.
Good meme.
>Everyone else is enjoying themselves just fine.
Redditors eat shit? Who would've thought.

>this cherrypicked video with all graphics on low doens't look good so the game must be bad
I'm just pointing out the fact that people shat on the game just because of multiplayer. Some people got mad and redditors like you wanted to fit in so they said the game was bad too before even playing it.

How could they pose for that picture knowing how fucked the game was?

I was never hyped for it. I swear there's two morphs of human male one that can actually think for themselves and one that falls victim to peer-approval fallacies.

Will this turn into one of those epic defacings?

It's actually hilarious how Yea Forums is even mad when a game studio redeems itself.

fun note they do that to hide their weak jawline

Ah yes, 'redeemed'.. now please buy this $60 game I'm making, I'll add half the features in 5 years later and you can suck me off for the privilege!

>Entire site fits on one disc
I thought they were supposed to be big.

i don't think they care about their jawline they are just retarded

why does sony ruin everything

>He thinks this exclusive to women
Why do you think things sell for $99.99 instead of just $100 even and such? It's all psychology.

Why does this image trigger Yea Forums so hard?

You are just mad that you won't be able to meme freely about how No man sky was another tortanic. You would rather have another shit game you can laugh about.

Hello user, I can tell you why. I used to be one of these open mouth faggots who could only take a picture this way.
No one ever taught me how to fucking smile on command. All my life I'd give this weird fucking creepy smile and not know what I was doing wrong and nobody told me it's in your ears. So you make that crazy open mouth face and it looks *decent* instead of like a serial killer so you go with that one. I watch one video title "What Makes a Smile Look Genuine?" and it explains that it's all in that tiny lift your ears get when you laugh heartily for real at something.
As soon as I learned how to smile on command I stopped needing this shitty face. But I am almost sure that's why those fags do it too. No one ever taught them how to smile. If you have a kid, fuckin teach him how to smile on command.

>You would rather have another shit game you can laugh about.
?
But that's exactly what I have?

This is what today's shitposting looks like

Yeah, that would be naturally what the common generic mentally ill Yea Forums person would say.

The difference is that people will debate you now and stuff your mouth with dick.

>teach you how to smile
Are you an android?

on command.
A smile is a feeling for the most part, when one comes on you just can't resist it like a sneeze, how to force that emotion to happen was a foreign concept to me that needed teaching. Many times in your life society will ask you to fake a smile, and that's very hard if you don't know how to just summon the emotion that causes a smile to happen.
Yes I am an android. Or a sociopath, whichever you prefer.

They can't do that if they're stuffing their mouths with Sean Murray's dick.

star citizen has released a game though? strange post

Yes they can. You may have failed high school but there is physically no problem about getting sucked off while you're giving head at the same time.

So they released their games 3 years too early?

>These retards are being worshipped as gods
same with companies like bethesda or valve

>Not even denying it
Okay bud

They could have gotten more sales if they release the complete game 3 years later. Dumb devs.

There is nothing to deny. Yea Forums has lost and Sean has won. This is just a fact.

Maybe back when they made good games. Now nobody will buy a billboard for Bethesda no matter how much they 'fix' Fallout 76.

No they don't. Sean Murray would be a chad if he got a tan, worked out, and shaved.

He's just a fucking idiot.

Why are you white-knighting him? He didn't respond like a bitch.

Yes I am. They have made hundreds of millions of profit and they have redeemed themselves in public view and their game stayed relevant for years. They have a free path to the future even though everyone doomed them when No Man Sky released. The studio will remain successful for a long time.

I still can't believe people fell for this shit. NONE of the trailers before release showed any gameplay that wasn't just walking around breaking rocks. It looked fucking boring and was a procedurally generated walking sim. The multiplayer shit I understand since it was a flat out lie but Christ, what was the appeal of the game during prerelease?

Mark my words, Death Stranding will be the same.

How the fuck do you lift your ears

>made hundreds of millions of profit
>they have redeemed themselves in public view
This is one of the most delusional posts I've seen yet.

Anyone else reinstall the game for the big updates and then deletes it a few days later? The actual gameplay is just so boring and exploring isn’t even fun since every planet is practically the same

You're insane to compare Hello Games to someone with a 30 year track record of 9/10 games.

The game was extremely successful at launch and kept selling well over the years. And how much did it cost? It's an indie tier game that made as much money as a successful AAA production. And positive news keep flooding in every single day.

Even on Yea Forums, the most fucked up place, at least half the people have acknowledged the game.

It's a myth, their dicks are actually not that big and you could put all of them in a DVD disc

Like I said, pure delusion. You're bordering on schizophrenic.

You're just the typical Yea Forums retard, mate. Aren't there any threads about upcoming games you want to fail that you can shit up?

I'm kinda like that but I don't think the developers are doing a bad job. It's just that the concept of "unique procedural worlds" is flawed by nature. People will get more excited about the glitches they find then whatever the devs put there that can be found exactly the same way in a planet at the same system. Nothing you find is unique

Videogames go beyond shitty boards like this reddit and Yea Forums. The day you understand this, you'll stop posting retarded question out of curiosity

>go silent for months
>gradually add in new content but keep the underlying shit base for a game
>people start sucking it's dick

Wow, I get that most people are sheep and all but are they so easy to forgive scam artists that within 2 years after the game released they just sorta forgot about the bad shit and bought into a game that was still in a shit state? Impressive. And they got away with the whole thing.
