people are shitting me with these replies are they not?

you got 6 area's/ planets. Earth, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and The Reef. each has its own open world. as wee seen in the beta, the area is pretty big, now multiply that by 7, makes it HUGE..

the one place to explore isnt one small destination, its one, big open world map.

Well the missions were somewhat short and straightforward; and it wasn't the biggest map I've ever seen either. It was a good size but not massive. Yeah it's just the beta; thinngs could be difference but still.

It's just the cost and the dev time which I don't get; you'd think it'd be packed with content but no doubt much of it will end up as DLC

 

I honestly expect more from a level-headed mod.

"Well the missions were somewhat short and straightforward"

It's a beta.

" it wasn't the biggest map I've ever seen either"

Again, a BETA.

"It's just the cost and the dev time which I don't get"

It cost less to make than people seem to think. Standard AAA budget. The $500M number includes marketing and expenses on future titles in the series. You should know this?

"no doubt much of it will end up as DLC "

There was just a thread about how games in 1996 cost $60. Considering that those games cost PEANUTS to make compared to what it does today for a identically priced game (it's actually cheaper today if you take inflation into account - which you should), then you realize that we are getting A LOT more for our money than ever before. So if they want to add even more, optional content after that then WHY complain?

People would have pissed themselves with excitement if they had the option to download more Mario 64 content back in the day. What to speak of Mario Kart 64 online. But noooo, we are so spoilt that we get used to all these things after a few experiences and then demand more.
