The way some people talk about sean murray youd think he loving murdered their parents or something

Eh, Ive seen the videos. A few good points spread out amongst a sea of negativity that, IMO, wasnt largely deserved. I feel the same way about ME:Andromeda. Tons of folks talking about how poo poo the game was, when its biggest sin was that it was just aggressively mediocre.

I haven't played since release so I'm kind of excited to play again tomorrow. Never tried bases or freighters or any of that so the fact that they introduce all that a few hours in sounds great.

It's getting pretty ethical ITT And nobody gives a poo poo if you got death threats on your hockey site. You're coming across like the people who are like "my parents beat the poo poo out of me every other afternoon, and I turned out fine "

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Oooh death threats, I got death threats working on a hockey site. Has he never been on the internet before? What the hell is wrong with you? Death threats are never ok. It only takes one person to go through with it. Gaspy Conana posted:Yeah, I think the NMS fans in the discord are going to have a rough time when it comes out. They're assuming base permanence (like, you'll see all players' bases, wherever they build them, always) and lobbies of 16 player instances with 4 player co-op parties. That's a LOT of extrapolation. Maybe they've somehow pulled some of that out, but it would be miraculous imo. Especially considering the terrain manipulation, vehicle physics, etc etc. People are always overhyping poo poo and then getting mad when they don't get what they built up in their heads.

A. Beaverhausen posted:You can reduce the percentage by a decent amount by being open about where the game is at at release. The reveal trailer, and no walking back on anything it showed, was one of the really big mistakes. Yes, but I said in the original NMS thread several times full stop "there is not going to be multiplayer" and lots of people still got really loving upset on release that there wasn't multiplayer. There's a big thing in the game industry lately where if a game is announced and then takes awhile to be released, gamers legitimately feel they are OWED a better game. That time of release "cost" them so they are owed more in return. Even though the game costs the same amount. Its real toxic and needs to stop. But yes, Murray was also a dick for saying it had multiplayer and then going hush on the matter once he realized they weren't delivering on that. I just really don't think it would have made much difference even if he hadn't said that at all. People saw the trailer, got excited, then it got delayed for a couple years and they just told themselves that means the game would be even better. Just gotta stop thinking that way completely.

Another thing is that while Hello Games toned down the press talk, the trailer they released is still 100% staged moments. They need to cut that poo poo out. Other devs do that poo poo too but especially with space games, don't imply more than you have in the game. And other devs don't have the track record they do.

Do death threats that literally everyone in the public eye gets matter or not? Make up your mind. Murray is a garbage human who hid his behaviour behind these claims. He went into hiding for many months after launch, never explained himself and threw out a weak semi-apology two years later to bring attention to the xbox launch. I've watched enough gameplay videos to realize the game is still bad/boring and will let this thread be again.

Did Murray gently caress up? Yes. Was it his fault that he ended up in front of so many cameras with apparently no handler? Probably not. It's likely that in that time frame between the original E3 teaser and release, he probably did think that the game would have all those features, because he'd never worked on a project of that scope before and let his imagination get the better of him. More importantly, who cares? Like, who rationally cares? It's a fine games industry tradition for developers to take your $60 and run. I mean, I get it, almost. People thought they were getting Star Citizen Lite if they didn't pay attention to any of the press in the final couple of months leading up to release, and people who play space games (me) love to delude themselves with the fantasy of an infinite universe to explore forever. What was unique about NMS that made people get so tilted, though? Games fail to live up to their trailers all the time. Was it the timing of it? Were gamers just feeling especially entitled at the time? Was it the simple and common nerd fury that arises every time an antisocial millennial realizes that a product was, perhaps, made for a different audience than themselves?

Over and over again games with actual open development come our early access rough, but the devs tell you this, and they tell you their working on it. The devs of We Happy Few are an amazing example, they had in depth dev journals from multiple departments every month (week?) When you are pushing a full priced game on misinformation you do nothing to correct, you have yourself to blame when people are pissed when they feel you wasted their money, and I dont mean the overentitled dumbasses.

IDK I remember games like half-life 2 and warcraft 3 being delayed for something insane like 3 years and just being like 'drat I wanna play it' and not like 'drat this game is going to give me free blowjobs when it finally comes out since it took so long' But somewhere recently that started being a huge thing. It wasn't until like, 2010 that it started getting real bad from my observation. Before then people just didn't act that way. Social media made it louder, but even when there was the internet it was basically invisible if it happened, maybe on some nerd's geocities page where he posted an all caps rant, but who cares. Now it spreads through reddit and other groups and it becomes the prevailing way of thinking.

But it's not just NMS that gamers get tilted about. Many gamers get tilted as the dumbest poo poo like the word ban in R6 Siege or the Mass Effect endings. Yeah the NMS situation was kind of not what was promised. But to the point of sending death threats or writing long rear end paragraphs about how upset you are. Worst case scenario, you are out of $60. Best case scenario, you got a full refund.

That's totally fair too, it would obviously be better to release gameplay videos, but even in that situation you want to stage at least some stuff to make sure you show off what you want. Plus, i don't know that id trust gameplay videos any more than this considering they were the bulk of the maybe a little misleading marketing campaign to behind with.

People are dumb but I do think the NMS response registered higher. There's some people on twitter complaining they can't say the n-word without getting banned in R6, I argued with a couple of them. But unless you check R6 twitter you'd have no idea. Meanwhile NMS bitching was front page on several gaming sites and reddit for days. deadly_pudding posted:What was unique about NMS that made people get so tilted, though?

I think its something about "space game" that makes people suddenly expect videogames to do things that videogames don't do. Its weird but that seems to be the factor. You mention space game and suddenly everybody is having flashbacks to playing pretend as a child and wishing they were Luke Skywalker. Star Citizen would be the same thing but worse, but they've done two magic things. One, they got people to pay them SO MUCH money that they're not committed and can't admit the game sucks or they have to admit they suck, and Two, they just keep delaying the game endlessly so it never has to actually come out at all.

No I'm not sure you do have to stage anything. If the game has core gameplay features that aren't implemented yet; don't advertise it yet. I think premature advertising is a huge problem in this industry. It builds that "hype" which marketing used to think was a good thing (increased word of mouth, awareness of the product) but now seems to be a negative them (shock and negative reaction when the game isn't the be-all-end-all) I think keeping your game mostly under-wraps until its about done and then blowing everybody away is underrated. If you're going to show off gameplay, have the gameplay actually playable. And show what it really looks like. If you have to stage things, that means they're not done yet, which means you shouldn't advertise them yet, as that forms a sort of "promise" on the game's future features, which you may end up cutting. Valve has learned this the hard way and now they won't advertise any games ahead of time in case they change design later on. Its the right move.

Yeah that's the thing that's always wildly alien to me. It's $60, the punishment doesn't fit the crime. It's like the brain glitch that makes people think they own you like property because they watched you make their five dollar footlong. I have never been disrespected worse by the general public than when I worked in fast food, but I suppose I probably would be if I ever release a video game.
