No Man's Sky is the featured game for IGN's First of July

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic Winter John, so apologies if you are:



Graphics are not a determination of game value, "amount of media about a game" has never in life decided the value of a product release, and extent and depth of online modes has no baring on the price something should be in of itself. And the only people confused about the game are those who are trying intentionally to remain ignorant... and by the way, that point is in direct conflict with your idea that there is audience fatigue. How can there be fatigue if there is confusion about what it is?

I swear this games industry is simply bizarro world. It's not about "hey this game is really fantastic and provides hours of enjoyment and replay value", it's "how many people were on staff?" and "is it using the most modern shaders available?" Only in the games industry can this be a thing.

Actually I'm the customer and to me graphics very much are part of the determination of a game's value. I think you'll find I'm not the only person who judges a game partly on it's graphics. The Order 1886 is one example that immediately springs to mind.

Of course the extent and depth of online play has a bearing on the product, what are you even talking about? It's an integral part of the game. My point was though that I felt they had missed an opportunity by not allowing people to team up with their friends. I thought that was quite plain, but if not I'll be happy to explain it to you again. In terms of value, looking at it as a customer I would not be at all happy to pay full retail for an online game which didn't allow me to play with my friends. $20 would be my limit.
