Looks better and more interesting than NMS.

I've been playing a bit of Monster Hunter Generations on my 3DS. One of the quest givers says "I know some people will just tell you to 'git gud,' but that's a terrible suggestion! Who even listens to those people anyway?"
There is a fine line between "steep learning curve" and "needlessly complicated but you get used to it because you have no other choice."

Though we be Neutral, we all are part of the war.
It wouldn't have worked. By that time, all the planets would be named, people would have seen all the Lets Plays that the audience wouldn't have expanded.
The problem, as I see it, they had a small staff and a dedicated PR person would have gone a long way to managing expectations or reminding them that they said something 2 years ago that would be brought up at launch as a solid promise.
Either way, the game's still fun for me, so I dunno. That's the problem you have when an indy studio gets a big push without any help with PR.
A few of us in the regular NMS threads have mentioned it multiple times.
FFXIII looks better than this.
I'm getting FFXV on PS4 because I'm paying 30€ for it thanks to the awesome preorder offer by Unieuro (basic price 40€, plus a discount of 10€ I own) and when I'm done, hopefully within a month from release, I will trade it back to GS for 40€ if they do their usual offer for new games... but I expect absolutely nothing out of it. I'm buying it only because it's a FF and I'm able to play it for free, considering GS gives you 30€ back at least for new releases. I'll take the PC Goty later if the game is good to play all DLCs they announced.
all this hype talk is nonsense. do you guys not remember the E3 trailers? they showed a game that simply doesnt exist:

Gonna drop a decent game in here at the turn of the hour, don't think there is a timer setup, be ready, FCFS.
Could be also related to recent Steam update that displays if a game is not family shareable.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Seriously tho they should have just released the game in Steam early access a few years ago for 20$. There would have never been any stupid expectations nor would there have been any crazy confusion. They would have been just as successful selling many copies and could have released it in full by now for the 60$ or wtvr.
This entire thing just turned out to be a failed experiment with console gaming's mass marketing and crazy hype machine. Hopefully other developers in the future who plan to make these type of games learned a lesson from this whole thing and don't make the same mistake.
It's sold a lot.
That's what devs will learn, sadly

I havent played it yet as I am PC only, but that looks like exactly what the streams I have watched are...maybe less animals in one place and the flying close to the planet but for the most part that looks like what the game is.

I'd love to see that kind of planet with those kinds of animals with that behavior (wandering in mobs, crashing through trees, even standing in shallow water). The basics are there but all the actual parts seem to have been completely scripted

Okay, I want to spend money on that PC game called NMS... Nvidia is a good marketer.

I did. I thought no command was an hour for some reason. I realized it before I dropped it, but was too lazy to fix it, so I just dropped a warning.
I prefer the shorter raffles anyway, gives the people present a better shot at winning.

Shit.. shit shit shit!
I accidentally clicked an image from a direct chat. Turns out it's directed to **badsite**, a phishing site according to my brief google search. My antivirus blocked it so I didn't actually downloaded the file, but I'm not sure if I'm already safe. Therefore, I changed my steam and email passwords. I have the steam guard app activated.
What can I do further to ensure my account's safety?
Edit: He's just sent me another one:

Damn that looks nice. I wonder how different it will feel without Voxels
There's just something about that genre that makes developers think they can make a game that does everything. Anyone who doesn't look at promises like they made with some scepticism hasn't paid attention to the last 25 years of gaming. Hell, we were having this debate in this thread years ago about No Man's Sky before the Playstation version was even announced.

I somehow managed to time being home while my daughter naps so my wife can get out with the release time.
Really wish there was a preload, but I should be able to get some time in before heading back to work.

Apparently the joke is on the people that bought it on the Win10 store.
Didn't your steam insert a redirect link first? You shouldn't have gone straight to the site. Or did you also click the link steam displayed in your browser?
You probably should block and report them.

Both of those people don't even know steam exists, so they'll be okay.
Don't worry, Windows 10 update 1611 will block all win32 apps from running, including Steam.

It still works for me. It takes at least 2 hours before I start getting cards for a game though, I assume because of the refund rules.

But jokes aside, you should be safe if you didn't actually download anything, and assuming that your browser is up-to-date (and that there are no 0-day exploits, which are, however, unlikely to be used to steal Steam accounts). Looking at the file under Linux (downloads as 'image41.scr'), it is simply a Windows screensaver, so you'd have to open it to execute it after downloading it, as it is basically just a .exe file.
But it never hurts to run a "deep" (or the equivalent) virus scan. Also, you should of course enable Steam guard, if you haven't already.

if you've refunded anything then cards will drop after 2 hours of game time (if you haven't then it should be the normal no delay)...some games just have the drop rate set to a very long time
Idlemaster still works...used it this past week

It still works. I've had games take 10 hours to drop a single card.
I forgot about that!
