Comment on Light No Fire Announcement Trailer

It seems that you need a refresher. I suggest you rewatch those original pre-release trailers and then try playing the game to see if it looks anything like that. I did that a few months ago, and spoiler alert, it did not. Continued support is of course praiseworthy, but it wouldn’t have been necessary if Hello Games had actually kept their promises to begin with. It boggles my mind that gamers so vehemently defend a company that took a decade longer than it should have to deliver some (not all!) of what was promised and also wasted a bunch of time and resources on bloating the game with stuff that was never mentioned and that nobody asked for. Gotta be some form of sunk cost fallacy or Stockholm syndrome or something…

I’m not saying you’re wrong but… you’re actively wishing for this game to fail on launch so you can feel smug about things you said on the Internet?

Priorities man

  Looking forward to the silver lining of a bad event you know to be inevitable is not the same thing as actively wishing for that event to happen.
  
  Reading comprehension, man.

You don’t have to be “right” about everything. Just let people be happy, dude. It’s not that hard.

  I am trying to help them be happy by getting them to stop huffing hopium in industrial quantities, which tends to lead to disappointment, but they don’t wanna.

    It’s not a “misunderstanding” when you’re laughing about what you think is going to happen and getting excited about your “vindication”. You’re not helping anyone here. You’re just trying to get them to join you in your cynicism.
    
    Once again, Just let people be happy.

    Please, lecture me more about what my motivations are. Of the two of us, you’re clearly the expert on that topic. I’m dying to hear more.

It seems complaining about Cyberpunk has also become downvote-worthy these days. I think people are just all in on a good redemption arc so when a game is finally good they’re willing to overlook all the early promises that will never be fulfilled.

I would say it is justified given the amount of support they gave the game in the aftermath, all for free. I would instead encourage people not to buy games at launch. Also, it’s not like this new game is totally different either from NMS, you can clearly see the back bones from NMS. So it’s obviously that they’re going to use everything that is good from NMS in their new game.
