This thread is exactly why VGC needs a Rüpel. This thread is asking for a slap in the face of the community, so I'll repost a PM that I sent to a head moderator two days ago.

"Since the beginning of the NMS discussions, there has been a small core of VGC members who were unwilling to accept that NMS could be anything less than a great game. Since there was plenty of negativity expressed in the days after release, this led to them having the perception that there's one big witch hunt after everyone who dares to like NMS. At the same time, these people regularly took digs at people who criticized the game (even when the criticism was on a reasonable level), then turned around and played the victim card. This has affected several NMS threads and they usually ended with a mod notice that people should take it elsewhere and/or a lock of the thread. But since the conflict is never properly addressed by the mod team, it keeps reoccuring in new NMS threads. And there are bound to be new NMS threads because this game is going to get lots of patches and content updates due to the state the game launched in.


None of the above means that there haven't been bad apples who really get a kick out of hating the game, but no matter how bad they are, they would still only be half of the problem because the other end of the spectrum also does its fair part to fan the flames.

In an ongoing situation like this, it wouldn't hurt at all if the mod team addressed the worst people of both sides by name and gave them a good slap on the back of their heads in public by explaining why their behavior is bad for the discussions. Because the result of the current solution (locking threads, telling people to take it elsewhere) is that people of both sides will take it as "the other guys are the bad ones, what I am doing is perfectly fine." So when the next NMS thread pops up, it's the same thing all over again.

We are talking about a game that has a Metascore of 71 on the PS4. It would obviously be worse for the PC version because that one is/was plagued by much more frequent crashes. The point is that NMS is a game most reviewers could agree on that it is a disappointment. Consequently, that most of the discussion surrounding the game is criticism instead of praise shouldn't be surprising, but it's something that GribbleGrunger and Swordf1sh in particular have a hard accepting. Both of them have created NMS threads to antagonize people who have criticized the game, but both of them are also the frontrunners when it comes to complaining about the criticism the game is getting.

When I then see you locking an NMS thread because of perceived negativity (the same posts can also be interpreted as explanation for the disinterest the thread received), only for the same thread to get posted again immediately afterwards, then something is off. That you say that you aren't aware of the situation at all is something that I believe instantly because it is the most logical explanation. The alternative would be that you consciously exercised censorship of undesired opinions with that thread lock, but that doesn't fit your personality.

Yes, this was a long post, but it's still just a brief overview that didn't touch on all details. The main point is what I've posted on your wall. There is an ongoing problem and the current mod actions do nothing more than shifting the problem to another day. It is a problem that can solve itself due to lack of interest in NMS discussions, but such discussions are still going strong and more patches/content updates can be expected to come, so merely maintaining the status quo is perhaps not the best course of action."

This. It's high time we stopped this little witch hunt charade, it's getting monotonous and tiresome.

I plan on getting the game further on down the line when it's more stable, has a lot more content and is reduced in pirce, but apparently I hate the game and am thus a heretic to some.

This game was bundled with a ps4?  Did it have a special ps4 edition console?

 

All out of HG's pocket of course. 

Mind posting links to where I can buy these? I know the faceplate is real, but come on, that's just a faceplate.

I'd also like to grab the a paper I was reading while at work that showed a bried small article snipped of NMS being bundled with the PS4, I guess that UK paper isn't so legit.

Maybe you should read what I said. YOU didn't propose the idea of a super thread in any of the negative threads. Why is that because you happily posted in every single one?. YOU have an issue with this thread, the same as ever other positive NMS thread but love every moment of the negative one. 

What now!

I proposed the idea ages ago to gribble about making a single unfiromed thread once we started getting mjore and more threads:

(I actually had to go back in my post history just to tell you how wrong you are)

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8010221

 

Then Gribble said: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8010400

like how you assume I "happily" posted in every single one, again you are making me out to be some proper heretic, deemed of being burned for not sharing your pov.

I have an issue with your agenda, I don't have an issue with Greg what so ever, don't even hate the guy, don't even hate HG.

You have something against those who speak ill of your game, there is definitely no hiding that fact.

Just fulfill your self fulfilling prophecy and deem me the worst of heretics that has done so much wrong because that is where I can see us heading directly towards and you clearly do not want to steer away from it.

Maybe you should practice what you preach and read my posts. Because I've defended NMS in some posts doesn't mean I haven't said negative stuff about it. You know I am capable of seeing 2 sides.

Anyway why did you come here? Be honest, because like usual you post stuff to flame. I'm only entertaining this because it's exactly how I predicted to another member how it would happen. Which member would turn up, how they would react. what they will say and try to do. I got it spot on! Rol completed my prediction :)

 

Now no more replies.

Do you think they'll survive this and update and add content as they previously stated?  I'm of the mind they might not.  



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.

And there are limited edition PS4s with star wars cod and destiny. All multiplatform.

Again who paid for those to happen?. HG did not pay for Sony to bundle those and then market the game. 

Apparently small studios can afford large scale marketing and bundles these days for millions of people. I'll just call up Toby fox and let him know how he dun goofed with Undertale marketing. 

Are you arguing something different? I don't know why this is significant. How does this make it Sony exclusive like the guy claimed who I first replied to? Where and why are you taking this here? 

 

Now it's my last reply bye!!!

I've seen many games even eyars later adding in content and fixes. Hell look at Age of Empires 2, that pretty much came out of nowhere and even got a new mini expansion thrown out for it with a new faction to play as.

Minecraft has managed to dish out both big and small updates for years, I'm sure HG will do the same as time goes on.

Yeah but those were games that didn't blow up in disaster like this though right?
