OUCH

OUCH

Is that IGN? Dang, that's rough.

>Not Final

What is this horseshit

>it's real

Nice idea desu. It's a piece of shit atm, but maybe some updates will raise it to a 7 or 8.

THAT'S CALLED EARLY ACCESS

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They do reviews in progress if a game takes a long time to finish

If they had to give it a score right now they would give it a 6

>if we had to score the game after reviewing it

No it's not, because the game is finished. It's a whole game, even if there's fuck all to do and it runs like dogshit.

What other games have they done this with?

its so shitty that IGN of all sites gives you 6.0

ign reviews
>not even once

...

Gamespot's review is hilarious, the motherfucker talks about how No Man's Sky is about religion and how it made him think about his own life and material objects, then he gives it a 7,

Wait, have they been playing it for over two hours? Could it get lower when they get even more bored?

>No Man’s Sky reached for the stars, but its reach exceeded its grasp by light years.

DAT LEDE BOYS WE DID IT

They do that with most big releases now.
They did it with GTA, Call of Duty, most MMOs, most RPGs.

They mostly do that when a game doesn't give press a pre release copy or to delay for testing the multiplayer when servers aren't up.

Sometimes I think its smart. Sometimes I think its dumb.

The game is shit.

>if we had to score it now

IGN really needs to stop doing this shit

did they explain why there are no stars in the game?

The game has it's moment and certainly is enjoyable to an extent.

The biggest problem is it has a severe case of unfulfilled potential. It COULD have been a truly great game. But instead it's just a decent one.

>even Leddit is turning on it now

Literally Spore 2

i played the gog version for about 2 hours.

it's shit.

They were late in cashing out Sony's check and not have to wait till Monday to see if the bank clears it out.

Wait what? What the hell do the planets orbit around? Are they just floating in random spots in space?

What's hilarious about that?

Shocking that all those so called "Sony payoffs" that they give didn't get this game good reviews.

Almost as though IGN is actually paid off by microsoft and has been for over a decade.

Exactly why IGN gives Halo and gears of war insanely high scores.

Yes actually

How brave, how useful: to give it a 6 after it got a 3/10 on Steam and the devs ran off with the pre-order money.

You have to go back

I have been playing this game for 20 minutes... after repairing the shit I asked myself the question, now what?

there is something very wrong with these fuckers concept of "exploring" I don't think exploring is running around a procedural planet farming resources, I think exploring is learning about an interesting place and learning it's backstory and how it came to be

this is such a simple concept yet they shoehorned the procedural generation shit to make it "YOU CAN EXPLORE AN ENTIRE GALAXY", there is nothing to explore, because I don't think random plant number 534 is going to be interesting, or "random fauna that literally doesn't do anything" is not a way to have fun

this game is a fucking ruse, I really believe that they have worked for a month, let the procedural shit do their thing and go to take the paychecks

There are stars. I saw one today. I don't think you can fly into it though.

Because it's unbelievably pretentious, he's essentially just reaching for anything positive to say about it to avoid giving it a lesser score

Same.
>Planets do look the same except for small variations.
>Game consist of the main mechanics
>1. Resource gathering
>2. Getting to point of interests to unlock upgrades
>3. Getting to another planet.
>Repeat for ever.
It is boring to no end.

Wow I'm glad I didn't buy that fucking piece of shit.

Not sure what that austismo is talking about but i've found a shitton of star systems that are orbiting around some sort of star.

yes

they don't orbit or anything they just sit in place and all the stars you see in the sky are just part of a static skybox, contrary to what sean implied it would be like

if you warp out away from your starting planets your game will crash eventually because the client loses accuracy with its floating points. you will never get to any other random planets out in the vastness of space.

look at steam reviews. it's above 50 percent positive reviews now.

codex my friend

/thread

>if we had to score it now AKA the check hasn't cleared yet

You should maybe spent that pre order on.... hmmm?? Maybe some other game?

>trusting IGN scores

kek.

This is probably one of the very few rare moments when IGN isn't giving a score based on pushing a narrative or from being paid to shill.

call the fire fighters

...

Am I supposed to know what that means?

>if we had to score it now

>long time to finish
well considering the game has literally no end, idk why they couldn't write up a proper review.
Game is released - it's finished.
Instead of waiting for the devs to fix it next week they should score it as a released product

>battleborn scored 1.3 points higher than no man's sky

that's how you know it's bad

This. It's like Spore. There's nothing to do.

Switching up tactics, rather than get paid to give the game a high score right away where they'd look bad for tricking people into buying a broken game, they're spouting a "they will patch it" meme and will review it "later".

>pre-order
I got it in an incredible 100% discount deal my friend

>not final
>The point of review scores is to tell people AT LAUNCH if the "complete" version of the game is worth buying

>i-i-its not done yet guys, we withhold final judgement till its releas- Oh.. oh.

Reminder that suddenly reviews matter again

there are no "solar systems" in the cosmological sense
nothing obeys laws of physics/cosmology, it's just a skybox

if you run on interwebs you should

>if a game takes a long time to finish
How exactly do you "finish" a game that bills itself as an endless exploration? Even if you set "center of the universe" as a goal, you're basically doing the same shit in the first 30 minutes of the game as you are after 30+ hours.

I could see this kind of scoring for an actual MMO, but not some singleplayer space walking simulator.

Weird to see them giving it a poor score when they were sucking this games dick for so many years. They even made an entire series of videos and interviews for it.

You're supposed to know that's the name of a crack release group. But don't listen to that fool, get GOG.

Jesus christ clean your toilet

reminds me of this

The first planet if you get lucky has amazing atmosphere, problem is once you get off the planet the game becomes boring as shit

spore had a beginning, a middle, and an end
spore is about building a life form, and following its progression through the ages

this retail priced tech demo is not that

What's wrong with it... I've been debating whether or not to buy it.

>if you warp out away from your starting planets your game will crash eventually because the client loses accuracy with its floating points. you will never get to any other random planets out in the vastness of space.
What the fuck, are you serious? That is an absolute rookie mistake. Kids learn about floating point range and accuracy in their third programming lesson.

No Man's Sky is art.

It is a warning to stop falling for hype and pre-ordering video games.

I'd give it a 7/10 tbhfam. It's got mediocre gameplay, but the exploration is fun.

They were probably expecting Sony to pay them off for good score from all that sucking.

But I guess things didn't happen like they expected so now they are mad... hence the bad score.

This post is also gibberish to me

IGN does this shit all the time
It's how they clickbait, with "Reviews in progress" that could've waited until they were done with the fucking review instead of publishing the story early

>Autists don't know how to in2 comfy exploring

call the presses!

It's about a 6/6.5

not the worst game ever conceived like you retards want it to be

Needs interaction/trading with other players should you stumble upon them.

needs base building

not sure what else but those 2 would bring it to a 7.5 for me.

You misunderstand, Kermit.
The review style is essentially a fancy way of giving first impressions for games that are supposed to take a long period of time to finish. They're judging it based on how they feel now, and will judge it again based on how they feel later when they've completed a larger portion.

i got a good 20 hours of fun out of spore, space stage had its moments

Thank you

>"""""""""""""""""""comfy"""""""""""""""""""""""
this means absolutely nothing

SO TAKE
THESE BROKEN WINGS
AND LEARN TO FLY AGAIN
LEARN TO LIVE SO FREE

At least in Spore you could have fun designing creatures in the land stage. NMS doesn't have any avenue for player creation beyond naming things. You can't design your own ships, you can't build any structures, and you can't define what aliens look like or do. It's a randomly generated art gallery.

>get to Space
>nothing to do so eventually you stop playing
That's not an end.

Link or I don't believe you. I was just there and our community still loves he game

I thought it was going to be lower since the article was pretty much all negative.

Is there any combat at all?

Makes sense for MMOs but no other genre to be honest. MMOs cant simply be reviews, basically takes weeks if not months to truly figure out if its good, bad or mediocre.

This is fucking stupid. A video game should not take more then 2 or so hours to get into the main swing of things. Its by day 3 you have to go "well if we HAD to score it now...." then the game just sucks.

>Are you serious guys? If you expected this to run properly than maybe this game isn't for you. NMS was never about running properly, idk where people got this from. Maybe you should lower your expectations, because for me this is exactly what I wanted.

Can I have that when you are done with it?

>its another game without a start screen
indie devs, when will they learn?

>if you warp out away from your starting planets your game will crash eventually because the client loses accuracy with its floating points. you will never get to any other random planets out in the vastness of space.
source? that would be hilarious but i think you're bullshitting me

can someone point a fellow autist who can't use google properly to a working Elite Dangerous torrent, it just seems so much better than this.

of course it's shit. it's a 3d starbound.

What's so comfy about NMS planets?

They're all exactly the same. It's tedious.

zero chance whatever dweeb did this pulled it out and kept the game regardless of whether or not they hated it.

>You're familiar with the phrase "man's reach exceeds his grasp"? It's a lie: man's grasp exceeds his nerve.

Yeah but its very barebones and boring.

>literally proving my point

Great job!

God I wish that were me

It doesn't
It's just IGN clickbaiting

did the yellow pee pee monster ever get caught?

They can't give it a bad score because it could damage their ties with Sony and thus lose out on the free shit
They can't give it a good score because unlike other websites they actually have some integrity left
Thus this compromise where they now give select games "temporary" review scores in order to stall for time until a patch or dlc is released and they can skyrocket the score higher. This also has the benefit of making it so Metacritic will have to change the metascore when IGN changes its scoring.

is this image fucking real

True, although most people ignore the Atlas path, so we don't actually know if it's more interesting,
