Demo/Beta != whole game generally. I would expect some variety or sense of progression outside of some numbers. Things to be fleshed out and expanded as the game moved forward.
That didn't happen (though some moments was so close to like Venus), and honestly what it does do, except gunplay, isn't particularly stellar if you leave the bubble.
And that's enough for a lot of folks. I think it's decent mechanically and with a good group of friends it can be incredibly fun when tackling strikes.
But that's a pretty low bar to set, and quite frankly the straw man arguments that people must have been too hyped in the face of criticism is a bit disturbing. For example, I could argue that folks who are saying it's a great game are suffering from purchase confirmation bias, but how do you think folks like you would react to that? Would call out bullshit pretty quick I imagine.
I just don't see why most people aren't actually engaging the criticism and instead are 'attacking'/making it about the individuals levying them.
Edit: Same goes for the constant goal posts. It's just an Alpha, it's just a Beta (I loved both btw), wait until the Vault of Glass unlocks, wait until the DLC in December, wait until the DLC in probably March, and so on and so forth. When are people allowed to be able to voice disappointment?
FakeEdit: I'm speaking of actual criticisms, not 'game is trash' level stuff.
