Remember: no preorder. No matter how good No Man’s Sky turned out eventually, this will only be their second game of the open-world survival genre and it might need to go through the same engoodening. I just hope Sean leaves the PR to people who can do PR.

Speaking of which, do we have a Lemmy version of r/patientgamers? I miss that place

I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT PREORDER GAMES

But if I don’t pre-order the new Call of Duty while slamming down a Mountain Dew: Code Red, I’ll miss out on all of the experience boost bonuses and be left behind!

It’s too late the people who need to hear that message are already going, “Sean Murray redeemed themselves pre-ordering now”.

Curious to see what lessons they take from NMS. I’m not expecting good things if they don’t go into more depth on things like base building and faction management, considering exploration will be more limited.

I don’t see the problem. He’s scaling back from over 200 galaxies with trillions of planets to a single planet.

Definitely interested. Hello Games may have stumbled on the NMS launch, but they’ve more than proven themselves since then!

At least this time they’re not starting from scratch. I’m sure a lot of systems can be transferred over from NMS, excluding the ones that either weren’t well received or don’t make sense in a fantasy setting. Although we know Sean Murray is the king of overhyping even if they eventually delivered a good game. Almost as bad as Peter Molynieux

Blatantly lying about whether you game actually has netcode is not “stumbled”.

Hence why the trailer made sure to show gameplay of multiplayer working
