BUt it's on PC, it's not even platform exclusive. If we want to limit it to being "console exclusive" then of course that logical answer leads us directly towards pointing the finger at Xbox and Nintendo fans, we all know how that battle ends. Let's take my current fave space/planet exploration game being Starbound, that got 84 Metascore and 6.7 userscore. For the time being it's PC exclusive but it's coming out for PS4/X1 (possibly even Vita) and no one is ragging on that game for it's current exclusivity and not many outisde the game know that it's only exclusive for a limited time (I see plenty of folk over the last 2 years asking if it would pop on current gen systems from time to time via forums and YT). The difference with that game is it had no big budget marketing, no big interviews or anything fancy, just a booth once or twice, some trailers on Youtube and then it's final release. See NMS just like other games have their faults, every game has it's positives and negatives, no game is practically perfect, I honestly don't know why anyone would think NMS to be perfect or above the rest. Minecraft got praised a lot, it also got it's fair share of "hate", it scored decently but it too has it's faults and it's positive aspects. Either way the game is going to be judged as it is, not what it's been hyped up to be. It's not one of those super extreme niche games where only 5 people on this rock "get it" in the "right" way that makes it so amazing that no one can ever deny it. If reviewers and users score it as such and the score doesn't change drastically within the first or second month then it is what it is. Some people may even change their score but at this moment this is how it's going and it's not stemming directly from just two console camps. without direct and quantifiable proof it basically becomes tin foil hat territory. Besides going by what reviewers are saying, it's not the worst game of the year, nowhere near. Also we shouldn't be basing user reviews from a site like Metacritic, we should instead be watching the actual proper reviews from legit reviewers instead. |
I'll admit I only read the first sentence of you post. I'll expand on what I said. This stupid shit is always Xbox vs PlayStation. The other combination of platforms are pretty civil to each other.
If PlayStation or Xbox has a game the other doesn't then it becomes very hostile especially if the game is decent. This goes for full exclusives or console exclusives. This then leads to a contant bitch fight and rating each others exclusives down on metacritic.
