No man’s sky similarly had a rough launch in terms of empty promises, bugs, lack of meaningful side content but ended up being recovered by another company and has been producing non stop updates, patches, and major updates ever since and has topped the leader board for most played games on the steam deck

I’m not bashing anyone else’s feelings on this topic, I personally just feel like this was way more empty than any of bethesdas other games like fallout 4.

Not to mention all the other games that were pushed off so they could work on their “masterpiece”

The facial rigging and animations are constantly bugged or straight up nightmarish (par for the course, shit happens, I’ll give it a pass)

Not to mention the settlement system which is somehow less than what the settlement system was in fallout 4 and 76.

And if this companion tells me to stop picking up junk one more time I’m putting her in the god damn air lock

Well you say that …

pushed off so they could work on their “masterpiece”

But you have to admit, the sarcastic tone does come across as a little belligerent.

I mean you rushed the main story, and decided the game wasn’t for you, and that’s fair enough. But there’s a huge amount of stuff that no-one is going to be able to come to grips with in 20 hours, and I say based on having ten times that amount and still finding new things. So entitled as you are to give your opinion, I hope you’ll forgive me if offer my own by way of contrast.

  Of course I’m cool with your opinion, it’s what makes convos more interesting
  
  To clarify “masterpiece” was in quotes to signify them having used that sort of verbiage and not as a mocking mechanism

    Clarification accepted.
    
    as I said that was a friend who had completed it in that timeframe.
    
    Didn’t say it to me. All I got was “$70. 20-30 hours. Play NMS instead”. Did sound a little on the mocking side, if I’m entirely honest.
    
    My point is that, yes they can pack in all this side content, but the majority of the games functionality is not finished, is broken, is widely disliked, or is just insanely mundane/formulaic
    
    All of which is subjective, of course. I’ve found very little that is broken or which strikes me as “insanely mundane or formulaic”. As for widely disliked. it’s difficult to evaluate the truth of than when may of those same dislikers were trying to talk the game down before it was even released.
    
    Come back in a year and we’ll pick this up then. People will either being playing it or not, and either way we’ll have our answer. Until then, all you’re doing here is slinging mud.
    
    Come on man, you gotta at least admit the rigging and animations are pretty bad for a AAA title
    
    I honestly don’t believe I do. I guess it’s like HiFi systems - beyond a certain point I’m not sure I can tell the difference. So long as it doesn’t impinge on my enjoyment (and it hasn’t so far), why should I care?

    You’re absolutely right on that second bit, my bad.
    
    “Play nms instead” was also genuine, I have hundreds of hours in that game and they deserve attention for how much of a comeback they did, but I understand where you’re coming from.
    
    However, that 3rd point I gotta push back on. Bugs are not subjective, neither is incomplete functionality.
    
    Im gonna pass on the slinging mud comment, I think that was just an attempt to downplay my argument.
    
    Lastly, you mean to tell me you’ve never walked into your ship and the crew mates are all standing on top of their seats glitched into the roof? You’ve never seen one npc or companion doing the stationary ghost walking animation?
    
    If you honestly think the facial expressions are indiscernible from real facial expressions I think we can probably just stop this convo here as you’re very obviously not being honest or truthful with yourself, but maybe I’m wrong.
    
    Thanks for having a civil convo with me btw. I appreciate it more than you probably realize.
