CritialGaming said:This was one of those well-written reviews I was talking about above. The reviewer didn't like the game, but none of his points felt like fan-boy rage or anything like that. Everything written here seems genuine and well put together. It highlights a lot of flaws in the game and seems like something people should read before rushing out to buy the game.Einspanner said:snip
NMS overall seems to have a very specific target audience in mind. And you really have to be part of that audience to "get it", casual players are going to get bored.
I definitely get why people could easily get bored with this game, but that user's review did seem to have a "put the hype in its place" tone to it. Did he mistype when saying he visited only 3 planets? It seems like to get anywhere near the center of the galaxy you'd be visiting far more than that, not to mention being able to accumulate the feedback needed for such a critique.
