Eh.... I dont recall MS making huge promises about what this game was. Its kinda exactly what I expected.

With No Man's Sky, I believe people were very much mislead. We werent even sure if it was a social experience, but the the answer was kinda yes but not really...

I think its silly to treat these two as the same. Not even the same genre really.

"Rare's most ambitious game" isn't a huge promise? Please. They made it seem like this had endless hours of fun. Instead people are getting bored after a couple hours. And seeing everything the game has to offer in under 4 hours.

It seems to me they spent years on the water tech, not the game and content itself. 

Excellent insight. Please tell us more about your experiences so far in the game. How many hours in are you?
