To simply disregard the scores as hater-scores is also not fair, it could also just be an overhyped underwhelming game, who knows. It´s not like we haven´t had such experiences this gen, be it The Order or similar cases.

I don't think comparing it with a single player game with a 4-6 hour campaign is very accurate, but ok...

I´m not comparing the games nor am I judging NMS. Just stating the obvious that there have always been hype bubbles, that can burst post-launch. My point is hype alone isn´t exactly warranted in every case nor a guarantee for actual great products.
