So you're saying the hate is ridiculous without actually knowing if it is... What was expected was A.) a good game, that's always expected, and B.) what they (HelloGames) told us to expect and promised, most of which they did not deliever on, hence lying. Also just curious, where do you see generic survival game in this trailer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLtmEjqzg7M |
I know what it is. I haven't been following the game, because Im not into it. But it doesnt mean I wasn't aware of it being the most amazing endless game ever that some thought it'd be.
On A. the game seems good, critically speaking its very average. Good is good, not bad and not great. For me, good has always meant average -but language is relative to its user. B. Don't trust PR. That's how they get you 
Car salesmen make even the shittiest car look amazing but you know not to trust them. They aren't there to give you the best deal, they're there to make profit from you. Do I like that way about things? No. But is it effective? Yes, and this is proof of that. From what I have looked up, this company has made a generic game fit for smartphones prior to release. I wouldn't have put that much faith into them.
Yeah, that's E3 2014 footage when no one knew what the hell the game was. I should have said I was referring to the E3's leading up to release though. And not even at E3, they showed it plenty elsewhere. And those showed it to be as I described. I'm not really defending it as much as I wonder what people were expecting from a studio that made only one game prior. You obviously kept up more with the news than I -so what do I know? I just wasn't convinced it was anything special -never expect that from randomly generated games at this scale
