Look, I know you guys wanted this to be a great game, since it's Rare's/MS's biggest exclusive so far this year, but it just isn't. The general consensus is that it looks pretty, has potential, but lacks so much content. It really is MS's NMS. Granted, NMS had a little more content at launch. It also has the excuse that it was made by a very small indie team, not a big 1st party studio, so we really should expect more from SoT. It's also ridiculous and hypocritical of you to hold me to some standard that you know damn well you do not follow yourself. I could probably go back through each of your post histories and within 5-10 mins find you talking about a game, positively or negatively, that you have never played. So, knock off the hypocrisy just to defend the game. |
It really isn't. Unless from now on we compare every game that doesn't meet all expectations to NMS. SoT is a social experience, even when playing solo you'll most likely have to deal with other players. NMS, by my understanding, is exactly the opposite; you're alone in an endless universe. NMS being made by a very small indie team is not an excuse for lies or false marketing. SoT under delivered in content but at least it had alphas and betas, people had an idea what the game was going to be.
General consensus indeed is that it looks pretty, has potential but also lacks much content (for a full-priced game). Even many reviewers say it is a foundation for a great game. Many people who played it have a great time but also criticize the lack of content, because they love the game and want it to become excellent.
Then there are people who never played it, never wanted to play it, never wanted it to succeed so they pick all the negative stuff from reviews and form their opinion. For example, I don't think it's likely you'll experience everything the game has to offer in 5 hours but just because some reviewers stated this some take it as a fact.
