The way I figure it, one of a few possibilities is true:

1 there is a god. He lets all the bad shit happen, and therefore isn't worthy of dedication.

B: there is no god. Shit happens. Nobody is there to be worthy of dedication.

III- there is a god. It kicked off the big bang and sat back to watch. Either it has the ability to affect positive change and doesn't, or it can't. In which case, it's still not worthy of dedication.

The end result is the same for me

I thought that was the expectation?

They introduced us to a younger Witcher that the Geralt was training, Geralt's story came to an end....

It felt like that's what they were intentionally setting up, a totally Ciri-focused next game.

Damn, if you keep stuffing words into their mouth, it'll probably suffocate them.

surely they'll follow up with investments into US-produced solar equipment to boost the economy and bring prices down to competitive levels, right?

..... Right?

Yeah, I don't think anyone would ask you "Are you okay with sitting at the bar with nazis?" yet plenty will happily judge you for saying "I'd rather not have to deal with MAGAts and their opinions"

Sorry but if your opinion is "trans people aren't people" or "blacks need to know their place" then your opinion is shit and no the fuck I don't have to listen to it

I see their junk at every thrift store and flea market in Ohio.

I legitimately thought they went out of business.

Absolutely can't stand watching people play video games. They play wrong.

And the only videos I watch of a game are ones to see what kind of game it is when I don't know too much beyond word of mouth "this game is great" kind of thing. Sure, you've described the game as an action-packed romp with tons of weapons and semi-open world, but the video shows it's a 2d side scroller with variations of the same 5 pixel "guns" that all shoot the same ball. Not interested.

Beyond that, I have no interest in watching videos. And if companies started trying to somehow cram even more ads into their games to advertise to people watching a stream then I'm even less in than before

Commenters are the worst.

Especially the ones that have custom profiles with names and shit.

Like Bro you aren't fooling anyone, we all know you aren't really a squid that flies.

I mean, it would have been nice if the game had been finished when it came out.....

But hey, they've fixed nearly every problem I had with the game on launch. Which is infinitely more than most of the companies who release shitty broken games.

Most people are too lazy or stupid to take the initiative though

Full stop, go fuck yourself.

Being a first time, or even just smaller developer is a nightmare when you compare it against large companies.

You basically don't have a chance if you try to carry your dream yourself, because you lack funding. But getting in bed with larger companies for funding and marketing puts an insane amount of pressure to perform well or go under.

I can totally understand why so many things were over-promised. I can't excuse what we got on release, but I do understand why he lied, even in the weeks leading up to release where everyone who plays immediately knows what's bullshit.

And to be honest, I would likely do the same in some situations.

Like the multi-player aspect where supposedly you would be able to see each other in-game. They really thought with the size of the procedural generation it would take a lot longer for people to meet, even if they were trying to meet up. Unfortunately they forgot to take statistics and probability into account. With the large amounts of people playing, two were bound to end up close enough to meet in the finest few days.

I think they really thought they'd have time to fix it before anyone met.

You'll say anything when it's your future, and the futures of all the people you work with, on the line.

The best time to fix your game is before you fucking release it

The second best time is right now.

They may have ignored the first half, but when they screwed up they tucked tail and got to work.

Nobody in their right mind would say they've been given a pass for NMS because they have been improving it, especially when you consider the straight up LIES Sean told during interviews. Whether it's because his expectations were too high for the engine and dev team, incompetence and inflated self-image, or he was trying to build hype for the game knowing they could never fulfill all their promises, it doesn't matter.

They improved what they made, but they still haven't delivered what they promised for months leading up to release.

It's a mixed bag. You take the bag with the good.

NMS is worth playing for the 0 dollars I spent on it, and I could see myself tossing upto $20 for it, but at no point was it worth a full price game IMO.
