Luckily I smelled the bullshit and didn't get invested in it. Same thing with Anthem. I had been gaming for 30+ years by that point and got pretty good at spotting scams just from being scammed before. I was trying to talk my friend down from it, but he wouldn't listen. He was more upset about the game being bad than he was about being scammed out of money.
I'm the same way -- and all my gamer friends *always* fall for it. But then, they buy it, play 15-30 hours of it and say 'i got my money's worth, its a great game just don't have high expectations out of it' type of people, who'll get 'f'd' constantly and make an excuse about how it was still worth the value... then do it again. lol
CD Project Red redeemed Cyberpunk I feel as well, the other big redemption story is Final Fantasy 14 as well
the engoodening of no man's sky is a legendary video by Internet historian
Lol, let me sell you shoes with no laces and no sole. I'll fix and finish them after you wore them for a bit, they'll be the Best shoe 🤣
Some Kind of Idiocracy maybe even worse
On the subject of backstabing, Anthem, I was so hyped for that, it had huge potential and EA just facked it up. Never going to forgive that.
I really enjoyed Anthem while it was alive, the game play was fantastic and so were the controls I just wish they had finished it up and continued it. Was such a waste of what could have been a continued great game. But I at least enjoyed 100% Trophy.
When you see a game trailer and it focuses all of its attention on how pretty it is, you can be damn sure that it's just a polished turd. When devs are proud of their work, they put attention on actual gameplay. That one was pretty easy to spot. No man's sky's scam was far better crafted. I had already been burned enough in the past that I don't get excited for anything anymore and just have the "yeah, we'll see" mindset.
100% fake trailer. What a time to be alive.
No man's sky is still not that fun and I have hundreds of hours in it. There is no story, the only enemies are robots and there isn't much variety. The next part is base building and it's not that good either
I'll do the same thing I do with almost every game. I'll wait for content creators to finish/farm endgame and give their review. Then and only then will I start thinking about buying it. Even with MMOs, you get new/fresh servers post-launch. Absolutely no reason whatsoever to buy a game day one, let alone pre-order.
And even for near perfect games like BG3, I used steam sharing to do Act 1and I'm waiting for at least -20% deal on it. That's mostly because Steam prices in Switzerland are a big scam and even our government officially recommend to buy from 3rd party key resellers.
If people had more brains than money that's how they would all do it, or at least take some precautions, but we know most people have lukewarm IQ's nowadays. I'm personally a year 2 gamer. I wait until year two; most games are their GOTY/complete edition with all the *actual* content in the game, the bugs for the most part are taken care of, and the game can usually be bought for $30 or less on a sale. I have such a backlog of games already to play i have plenty to keep me busy and since I've been doing it for years now, there is always a constant flow of good games to pick up on the cheap during sales. (My only exception to this rule is occasionally indie games from publishers I know and have always liked their games (such as Zeboyd Digital), which I might buy in the first year, but only after watching trusted reviews as their games are never over $20 anyway.
So DM, looking forward to the imminent Star Citizen launch mate...? 🤣
Being a fan of space games is rough. I have tried so hard to enjoy NMS, but honestly I dislike almost everything about it. I'm not a fan of the art style, the flight or FPS combat, the flight model, the way character/ship progression works and so on. Elite Dangerous is okay for a bit, but really suffers from a lack of new content on a consistent basis and gameplay systems that have been left to rot without being expanded upon. ED also feels even less like a multiplayer game than NMS does - at least in the latter you regularly see a bunch of other players in the hub area. Star Citizen is still just a big "what if" with some cool ideas, but not enough has been implemented to know whether or not it'll end up being good or if their tech even allows them to make the game what they want it to be. It's too buggy and is essentially a glorified tech demo atm so it's dogshit too.
EVE has by far the best gameplay systems, at least when you consider that they're all fully hooked into the player economy - a feat that none of the other space games have even come close to achieving - so even when you're doing something mundane like resource gathering it feels good and important because you can do meaningful things with those items or sell them to people who actually need them. Unfortunately, the act of flying your ship and engaging in combat is probably the worst out of all the space games, so it's a bust. Don't even get me started on Starfield. I suspected all those years ago when they announced it that Bethesda wasn't capable of making a game up to industry standard and I hoped I'd be wrong as release approached, but it turns out that their antiquated way of designing games is something they've yet to evolve beyond. What a shame.
Ultimately, I'd still recommend someone looking for a space game to try out NMS and I have nothing against the game other than it simply not being for me. The space game genre is fucked.
You must try NMS in VR, it is freaking crazy. The game is built with VR compatibility so it performs really well.
I don`t get the redemption arc storyline. I tried to go back to the game multiple times after launch. It might be more polished, but it`s still boring as hell. The same buildings on every planet. The same space stations. The same repetitive missions. What is the point?
Hi darth/ darth’s editor, loving the content you’ve been pumping out on YT, but I feel like a lot of these videos are starting to have overlapping clips, like the same clips in different vids. I understand that with ur upload rate ur probably not too worried abt this, but as a viewer who watches everything it’s a little laborious to watch. Please note this is just constructive criticism, I’m loving the uploads, but wanted to let you know about this
trash game and company wont ever touch anything they do period but u do u dm
How could you love the current state of NMS and feel burned by Starfield? It just doesn’t make any damn sense.
Makes more sense than your post... Starfield is at present a fking turd, and will never be anything more than sewage, but hey that's just my opinion (buyer's regret is HUGE).
How could you not comprehend the vast difference between the two games and that other than being a space setting they have very little in common? (Btw, I hate NMS, it's boring as hell to me, and I enjoy Starfield).
@@wompoo7967 Geez, you suck.
@@darkwyve It’s pretty obvious Bethesda was inspired by NMS. As Hello was with the Elder Scrolls, by making Light No Fire. Of course there are differences but the basic experience is very similar.
@@TheMusicolophile No, the experience is vastly difference. I played both and was bored out of my fucking mind after 100+ hours of NMS (after many of the updates). The only thing that made it remotely interesting and why I put 100+ hours in was the VR aspect, that's it. Which is fine, it's clearly not my type of game.
Both have space backgrounds/setting that's the vast majority of similarities created from that one idea.. You sound just like an ignorant person trying to compare Star Wars and Star Trek.... but.. but.. they are both in space. Did you even *play* both games? Probably not. You probably just watched let's plays/streams and pretend you've played them..
Both of these games feel/play very differently and if you don't know that you either didn't play them, or you played them blazed out of your mind, so you couldn't grasp simple differences.
Final Fantasy 14 too. Game was horrible at launch and then they completely rebuilt it, it is now the best MMORPG out there, by far
...what? In what reality is it "by far" the best MMO? Have you even played any others long enough?
Because WoW, despite its flaws, has millions of subs for a reason. What about Guild Wars 2? Or SWTOR, which has _awesome_ storytelling? Or Black Desert which has only gotten better and better and has always had the best combat in an MMO?
FF14 is good, easily better than the majority, but it's definitely not the best. Frankly, none of them can be considered the best. It all depends what you want from a game because i can tell you right now, no one is sticking with FF14 for a grand PvP experience or robust combat.
Its ass, eso and aqw are better imo
Ffxiv is just homework with a mile high paper stack and if you don't complete it in 3 months (every update in 3 months introduces new gear) you are behind. Probably not a game for other players like me
Diablo is like this but in a fun way deleting the need for a raid. I'm 68 the pit on level 60
Hahaha, Final Fantasy is definitely not “the best MMORPG out there, by far”. It’s trash tier, the only ones who play that are pedophiles running around as creepy children or furries as cat girls.
@@matthewjk9016 Both are different types of games and aren't easily compared. One game is an ARPG with loot and the other is MMO with some loot and other things.
Couldn't agree more. I got the game at launch for like 50-60 bucks and was super disappointed. I played for like a week max and then never touched it again. Every 6-12 months or so since then I kept getting recommended news articles on the game with stuff they had implemented. I never read past the headlines, but I was surprised that they kept working on it despite its disastrous launch. I was expecting them to fold and give up the game, because it had lost like 95% of their player base in just the first few months. But they kept working on it over the years. I was still very bitter from the launch fiasco, so I didn't touch the game even after all those updates.
Fast forward to 2023. I heard from a friend who also got the game at launch that the game is actually really good now. I decided to redownload the game from my library, and boy was I stunned. The game was absolutely fantastic and I couldn't believe my eyes. The company, that I thought would give up on the game after like a year max, kept going, and turned the game into something amazing. For me, this is the biggest redemption story in all of gaming. Starting with arguably one of the worst launches in gaming history, then working their asses off for 8 freaking years despite all the backlash, and then turning the game into a near masterpiece is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. I've now been playing the game since last year and am enjoying it a lot. Alone or with friends, it's just a super fun game. All I can say is that this company gained my trust, and it's 100% deserved. I have never seen such dedication in the gaming industry, with someone going from zero to hero through sheer hard work over 8+ years. I definitely recommend the game right now, it's 100% worth its money.
I won't buy blizzard, the new EA
I was a lot more forgiving of no mans sky than most people, yes the game had issues and the lies and the hype but even at the time i took it with a grain of salt but even the game we got i thought was ambitious but boring lol
Star Citizen, just you wait guys. When 1.0 finally launches you will feel like an idiot for assuming the worst that it's a scam.
The UI is still absolute garbage.
This is exactly how a lot of gamers felt about Cyberpunk 2077. I was so excited for it long before most people even knew about it. Only to have the eug pulled out from under me and gaslit that my ps4 would get an expansion when they never had any intention of doing so.
I am not going to buy their new game because it is not a space game. In my perfect world they just improve no man's sky forever. There is no other game needed then. No man's sky diablo killer 😁
*looks at star citizen*
When you are done with the D4 season can we get some no man’s sky content then?
its half off on steam right now, and free on game pass
i hear Vrising is a game to look forward to
After putting a little over 2.5k hours into NMS, I am super excited for Light No Fire.
After putting so many hours into NMS, you must be tickled pink playing Starfield every day?!
@@TheMusicolophile Not really. I only put a little over 100 hours into Starfield. Got to ng+ and called it quits. I might boot it back up once it gets its dlc. But NMS and Starfield are so very different, I don't think I could compare them to each other.
@@guyonbench I’ve played a lot of NMS myself. It’s unmistakable that it influenced Starfield. Other than the RPG mechanics that appear in Starfield and the multiplayer that appears in NMS, I find them to be rather similar in how they approach exploration. Stories are pretty different. I think it’s great that Starfield improved upon all of the standards set by NMS. I’m not building the armillary until I’ve reached a full year in game. So no NG+ yet for me. But that’s cool considering all there is to explore and find in the game.
The NMS history is more nuance than this video, I would recommend watching Internet's Historian video about it.
IMO forgiving companies is the reason these terrible practices are staying. Unless we stop spending money nothing will change. I can’t find a reason for example to play d4, when the game was minimum $70, a unfinished product, had every type of monetization, and has a billion dollar company who gaslights their player base so they will buy the next expansion. Where do gamers draw the line?
Ok but what if the game is good now? You won’t pay just out of spite of the initial launch? You do you
This is exactly why I stopped preordering games. I’ll watch it for the first week and if it’s finished I’ll grab it, if not I’ll wait until it’s worth my cash. Gamers need to wake up.
@@murdendevI would pay if the developer didn’t pass off the game as something it wasn’t. Creating a game that’s unfinished, and buggy isn’t new. It’s why we have early access and beta testing. I won’t reward such tactics and give them an excuse to do it again so they can make their billions. Example :D4 still has no end game. That skill twig, the so called tree isn’t a finished part of the game either but they passed it off as such and gaslighted the players into thinking it was. I will be waiting for D5 because it will be out sooner than later to take advantage of these practices. Unless we stop falling for the manipulation.
They don’t draw the line. People absolutely suck at voting with their wallet. Pre orders are still incredibly viable as an earning strategy for games, and people obviously ignore every piece of evidence that a game might not be what they are looking for, including Diablo 4, and they buy it anyway.
What I dislike are gamers embarrassing themselves by acting like they just bought a board investor seat for $70. Constant complaints and terrible behavior all justified because they spent $70 on a stupid decision
Yeah No Man’s Sky really burnt me but I didn’t learn my lesson and still pre order games like a fool!
L take. I'm glad some people managed to find some enjoyment in NMS after the updates but, I'm not giving them another cent unless their next game is insanely good and that's only after I've seen actual gameplay and confirm there are things to do in the game. There are so many good games out there that coping this hard is kind of wild. There are devs that care just as much if not more who are putting out games at a fraction of the cost, that have all the heart and soul on release, that took them 5 years to inject into NMS.
I just want to know what the NEW GAME is!
NMS isn't as fixed as people say it is.. tried it out again and found my mining resources disappear when I leave a world. also happens on frigates with multiple refineries. apparently it's a very long standing well known bug. and there's other examples. sure, maybe it's come a long way, but .. fixed? I don't think so. ymmv
Cyberpunk 2077 anyone?
I bought in to the NMS hype and after a few hours I refunded it for false advertising. A couple years later, after several fixes, I bought it again. And now I love it. You’re right. They absolutely face planted out of the gate but they recovered masterfully. And then the cherry on top is that all of the upgrades and new content were FREE. Bug big win for Hello Games.
Best part of the new season isn’t heltides. It isn’t the loot rework… the best part is more darth content on youtube!!
... he says while playing Diablo IV 😅
It engoodened, and then went beyond.
Typical case of worrying about the hype surrounding a game - this often leads to bitterness. I honestly feel pity for all of you; this causes you to dismiss great games.
People need to keep in mind, that while they were claiming the game has, was supposed to be in game, but was cut due to Sony push for early release.
So it's not like they lied knowing stuff doesn't exist.
First comment! Woohoo!
second comment yay
8 years later and sony up to their old tricks with the recent helldivers / ghost of tsushima stuff 🫠
