Sounds great but wasn't it always advertised as exploration first and foremost? Not sure where space sim came from

I think you read the age rating as a score. This review has no score, its a work in progress.

Did the reviews get delayed?
A delayed review can be good, but a bad review is bad forever!

A high fidelity go-anywhere space sim has been a dream game of TONS of people for ages. I suppose this looked close enough?
Eurogamer wrote about why their review is delayed: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-08-08-our-no-mans-sky-review-will-be-late-and-heres-why
Maybe it influenced other publications.
Yup, always advertised as a space exploration game. People started comparing it to elite and that's where the whole "space sim" comparison started.

Probably a lack of review copies and/or completed reviews.
There isn't one. He read the PEGI rating, I'm guessing.
No, most outlets have only had the patched game for something like 12hr at this point. Not nearly enough time with the game to write up any kind of final thoughts.

As someone said yesterday.
Those who post this soon are looking for hits especially with the patch and its changes.
Many got them today.

Good. 2 more in so far and they are "in progress"..They sound positive so far tho.

Reviewers waited for the patch. Most are still early on in the game, I expect a lot of Review in progress articles.

Press kits arrived today for many people, at least mine did.
In-game pre-order bonuses are pretty lousy in general but they're even worse when there are no pre-release reviews.

I think its clear we really won't get a good feel for how good or bad this game is or if its worth the price for a few weeks. People are really gonna need to dive into this universe and claw a good chunk of meat off its bones.

Any review coming out at least before Thursday I'll brush off. Whether it's a 5/10 or a 10/10

Who has ever said that, like at all? I have not even seen the most hardcore fans in here make that proclamation.
Jason, what say you, sir?

Oh wow... Think I'm going to wait a week to hear what consensus is. Seems insane to review this game based off less than day of play.

I rarely feel this way but a game like this...ya I would agree

You haven't been looking very hard then. People have been extreme on both ends regarding this game. It's either going to be boring and have no gameplay, or it's the ultimate cancer-curing greatest and most ambitious game of all time. The really fanatic people have had some outrageous expectations of what this game really was.
Just double dipped on the pc version.

I mean, when you ask "what do you do besides walk around and look at shit", you are typically informed of the various space sim elements/activities like crafting, trading, shooting, etc.
Some people might think those elements are a larger part of the experience than they are.

Hello Games were clever. They released the game broken so that all reviews made prior to the games release would be useless. Genius!
Karak

Ah ya ok I get it as well. The way it was written seemed like people were comparing it to deep space sims versus just expecting a large number of sim like activities to do.

You'll probably hear from him as soon as Friday, that's when the PC port comes out.
Careful what you wish for. Biscuit has a habit for tearing shreds off a game for not having a certain graphical setting something out of the box like NMS

Citations needed. Because I have been heavy in these threads on here, and I have not seen people get nuts to say, "this will end all space sims". Only that this is the space exploration game they were hoping it would be.
Maybe I am reading to much into it. It is twitter afterall.
Yeah, same.

he is going to go in with all antennas twitching for the slightest sign of "horrible PC execution 'cause 'console parity'" thing.

I'd say the most comment expectations tended to be "awesome exploration, weird creatures, interesting secrets, everything else is a fun extra"

That is the concensus I gathered. Which kept my expectations in a healthy check. I just want to explore and chill, and that seems to deliver.
