I made the mistake of commenting in the review thread. How fucking dumb I am.
Nobody is interested in having an actual discussion on the game's merits or short-comings. It's really frustrating. I think I'll have to treat NMS threads like I do David Cage threads. Not worth engaging in discussion with those people.
Any positive impressions on the game are dismissed as you lapping up the sweet nectar of Sean "The New Molyneux" Murray's "promises." Maddening. I thought maybe I'd leave my impressions for people to read, but people don't want to read positive impressions (even when I included a few paragraphs of my own personal negatives). They want shitshow 24/7. The game is overhyped hot garbage. There's no reasoning with people like that. It's a shame, because legit discussion could be had about the games shortcomings and successes, and that'd be beneficial largely due to the fact that Hello Games is actively improving and building on the game, so constructive criticism is pretty valuable.
Anyway that's the last I'll say about that thread. It's disappointing and embarrassing. The internet sure does love its meltdown threads...
On another note, it is a boring fucking day at work. I wish I was at home playing more NMS. I really want to wrap up this moon and move on to my next star system, but I can't bring myself to leave with those 5 undiscovered animals on my checklist...
