I'm still placing my bet on Star Citizen.

>mfw I put $1,5k into it and i forgot all about it

Still, by the time it releases in 2030, I'll be dead, so who cares.

Yes

It is

No, the whole Japanese anime gaming industry.

I would put something that never released but still got the money higher up the list, like Yogventures. Star Citizen is probably the one with biggest potential to become the ultimate scam.

But if we don't count kickstarter or early access? Yeah, then NMS wins.

What was promised.
Op

What was delivered.

You.

Yes, you. The one screaming, "There's no multiplayer!" and "Sean Murray lied to us!" and other slurs I dare not mention.

Tread lightly.

You are one. We are hundreds, thousands. Millions. You aren't just IN the minority; you ARE the minority.

I don't feel awkward or anxious playing No Man's Sky around others, and your words don't affect me. Many others, however, are coming out of their shells for the first time in their lives. This is the first time many are enjoying the beautiful world that has been procedurally generated for us - and it IS beautiful. Incredibly so. DON'T ruin this for them. We No Man's Sky fans may have our differences, but we will not hesitate to come to the aid of our fellow explorers, especially against someone who so virulently slurs that which has brought us all together.

Don't take this the wrong way. I don't hate you. I don't fear you.

I pity you.

I'm sorry that you feel this way towards us. I'm sorry that No Man's Sky is such a bane to your existence. And I'm sorry that you are missing out on such a wonderful experience. Mostly, though, I'm sorry that you feel the need to go around and publicly chastise and berate others. I'm sorry that, to ensure your own validity, you need to make others feel invalid. I'm sorry that your self-worth is so infinitesimally miniscule that you have to make others feel less-than-human, at least in your own denatured mind, just to feel whole. I am truly sorry that day-in and day-out you have to put up with your worthless, meaningless, Shakespearean tragedy of a life.

I ask you politely to cease your unnecessary cries for attention, and instead invite you to join our ranks. Uninstall Call of Duty, start up No Man's Sky, and breathe in the splendour and the amazement of your first planet, and then, maybe, just maybe, you'll see what you've been so hopelessly searching for this whole time.

Yes

Less than 1000 concurrent players on steam

No MN9 is

Probably, yeah. Other devs usually exaggerate features but those features are at least in the games they're plugging. NMS was just nothing but bullshots, promises, and lies while giggling in an interview.

Is this pasta

Yes. Taken from a reddit post a living human actually made.

I loved this pasta. I hope the original writer killed himself.

Its a single player game retard, it doesn't matter how much people are playing at once

I enjoyed pirating it, it was exactly what I expected and the only people who got mad were the redditors who overhyped it thinking it would be Star Citizen 2 for no reason.

IIRC it was initially about Pokemon Go.

LET THE BODIES HIT THE

Currently? Probably.

But Star Citizen has the potential to be biggest.

wow I didn't know that game got canned, I didn't pay any attention to it and I just read about it and the way yogscast dealt with the situation

fuck those guys with a stick

Hopefully they allow co-op and allow you to build anywhere so a bunch of people can populate a single planet and fight over dwindling resources.

dude slow down that almost sounds like a fucking gameplay mechanic are you nuts.

I may be immature, but at least I don't run from space pirates.

Holy fuck I forgot about the Oohya.

Look at all of these single player games with more concurrent players. Even clicker heroes has more.

what, you gonna kill yourself or something

>Skyrim
>Singleplayer

Choose both.

Where do you find current player numbers in games anyways?

...

No because anyone with a brain stem could see how this was going to turn out

Duke Nukem 3D came close imo

I think about applying for a job in Hello games.

I'd say if we're specifically looking for "cons", it would have to be a Kickstarter since that means people paid ahead of time for it. Star Citizen makes a good argument, but until it actually comes out my vote goes toward pic related, since it's clear the game never actually improved over the initial concept despite getting a vastly increased budget, and the final result was split into two games so Double Fine could double fine the consumers.

man, i miss nms shitposting.

The original wasn't even about NMS

That recent King's Quest Telltale wannabe was a bigger scam, because it involved literally stealing millions of dollars to fund it.

You paid actual money? like 1500 actual American dollars for something that does not exist?
