I have to rant for a sec so I apologize up front. I work in video games and have been playing video games daily and extensively for roughly 27 of my 35 years on Earth. I talk, work with and play video games nearly all day everyday. My job affords me the luxury of watching and reading reviews of games all the time too. So I say all that to say this: I have never seen, from what I can recall off the top of my head, more "dumbassery" and just stupid AF comments and reviews from the CoD generation we have now about a game than I am seeing with NMS. Apparently, people thought this was going to be Star Wars? I guess there's not enough pew pew for the tea bagging CoD generation out there, eh? This game is EXACTLY what Hello Games said it would be, which was a chill explore at your own pace exploration/survival game that hey if you find time try to make it to the center of the galaxy/universe. That's it, that's literally fuqng it! It's a 12-15 person team at Hello Games using procedural generation - do the CoD kids not know WTF that means when they complain about everything being "same-ish"? What they even did was amazing to this point for the people and resources they have and mark my words that the math and tech they have implemented to make this game will greatly change and improve video games. The ONLY thing I can think of that is not as it sounded like it would be is co-op playing. Other than that, when I popped my disc into my PS4 and played my first few hours this weekend, I got EXACTLY what I thought I would get. The problem is, and this is my observation and opinion, is that the hype train that got out of control was caused directly by SONY. I have a PS4, XB1 and WiiU, so I play all 3 and there is no anti-PS4 bias here just to shut that argument before it happens, but SONY went overboard on the hype. Not Hello Games, but SONY. 2014 and 2015 were down years for SONY at E3 had it not been for NMS. Multiple write ups about those E3's those years shared the same thought I had myself, SONY just kept trotting out remake after remake and promising games that should have been out friggin' years ago *last guardian cough cough*. NMS was basically their crutch those years. I really feel like if anyone should be blamed for over hype train it needs to be aimed at SONY. Unfortunately I'm sure Hello Games will cater to the whiny YouTubers and make it the Division where other players are stealing my stuff. But until then I will play and enjoy the game. I just really am getting tired of the streaming/YouTube generation and the brain dead lemmings that slurp that stuff up! Those same people ruined Destiny with nerfs, are starting to ruin Overwatch (slowly but the nerf flood gates have been opened) and will probably force NMS to change drastically. I want some things to be changed/added as well but I don't want Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen, if I did I would just go get those games. FFS we have some really stupid people we have to share oxygen with. As I was having an IM conversation at work with a buddy about this whole subject, he had what I feel like is a great response to all of this, maybe the best yet: "Wait, you mean I can't headshot n00bs and tea bag their corpses in the same 10 maps over and over again? You mean to tell me I can't play the same 10 hour story line in EVERY. SINGLE. -blam!-ING. GAME?! -blam!- you hello games. How dare you give me something original and meaningful that fulfills everything that you as a developer have ever wanted in a -blam!-ing video game? I wanna -blam!-ing shoot people because I'm a pre pubescent 19 year old manchild that doesn't understand the fact that not all video games are outlets for my 'misunderstood nerd rage' and social anxieties."
