    No Man’s Sky is a great redemption arc, but it would have been better if the game hadn’t sucked at launch

      Yeah, if a product is sold, I expect it to work for the most part. Now, mistakes happen, and not much to do about very obscure things and it’s great if thing can be added afterwards.

      But what I want, and this is apparently wild, is a finished 1.0 product that works as expected.

      Obviously sucking at launch is bad. But it’s inevitable that some games will suffer that fate and as No Man’s Sky showed, that’s no excuse for the game continuing to suck after launch.

      Yeah, if their publisher hadn’t forced them to release in its unfinished state, it would’ve been a lot better.

      I have no proof but in my eyes it all smells like Sony and other gaming news are to blame. They hyped up the game to unachievable levels and then held Hellogames to the previously set deadline. I am very happy they sat down and finished the game, although there is new content patch ever few months still. Gave them those 60$ happily even though it’s not my kind of game.

      It’s not a redemption arc, it’s a people forgetting it exists except for those who want mediocre resource accumulation simulators.
