By not 'getting it's I mean that some things that are the strength of NMS is seen as a negative. Like the complaining about the initial grind. For me that's a strength, you have to work for the cool stuff, it's not given to you. It makes anything you achieve in the game much more rewarding. 

But I also get why some give it low scores because it's not their thing. I do feel scoring it a 5 in very unfair though, games in that range are poor broken messes. NMS is not in that range. But that's just my opinion about somebody else opinion lol.

50 Is too low for a game. There is still a lot of sites to rate No Man's Sky, the game only have 12 critics on Metacritic.

Lack of content isn't the problem - it's the direction. Great games give you a sense of achievement and progress. The problem it seems with No Man's Sky is an absence of any aspect of impact and consequence. I don't think it's a game that's easily fixed or enhanced given the ambitious underlying nature of the world building.

Though then again - shouldn't it be possible for No Man's Sky to generate world that has better Star Fox game than Zero? 

Im not surprised. However i played a demo in store and i enjoyed it. Its no Star Citizen but its simple and i enjoy the art style. 

Looks like a solid 7/10

Yeah, I pretty much expect the game to be divisive. I'm having a blast with it, but it's really not for everyone. Still, 70 is a good score.

I was expecting a bit higher, like 75-80. The game was never my cup of tea, but I thought reviewers would appreciate the large universe more.

This one of those games where we all are going to have the same yet such different experiences and it you could be like this is a 4-5 and then bam! its an 8-9. could take one player 2 hours or another 10, I hate to be the guys who says give it time it gets good but it really is one of those, I realize what this game is moments and you will love or hate it.

For me this game is exactly what I thought was and I love it, a game that makes me feel like a space traveler :D

That's some impressive damage control, there.

The game never looked interesting to me, so it's nice to see some reviewers are being honest about it and we're actually getting properly critical reviews from the "professional" critics.

The way you go about "getting it" makes the game seem and sound damn near amazing and perfect and yet a lot of reviews aren't pointing this out. surely it's just that you and some others like those aspects like you do other games that involve them and hardly see them as flaws, thuis not being able to see them as flaws for anything else.

Some will have also scored it lower due to their say on it, not all reviews are labeled as "it's bad because it's not my thing", that's an argument I see used a lot these days in a form to stave fof critism of a game or pointing out  it's flaws. The game has it's shortcomings like many games do and it's happening with NMS and some reviews.

We all have our own opinions but I feel it's naive to claim or state that the game is damn near perfect, not saying you are saying so, but I am getting vibes from the recently formed fandom of the game when it comes to them talking against "bad" reviews. It's no secret that I love Starbound but even I don't think that game is balls to the walls amazing like Jesus nor flawless. 

I didn't mind the initial grind, however I do mind having to do it all again now a game breaking bug prevents me from leaving the first system. That and the half dozen crashes I've had so far. Plus I hope the fov will be patched as it's just not very immersive for a space exploration game when looking at everything with blinders on.

I love to explore more of the universe yet so far the gameplay is doing everything it can to prevent me from just that. Hopefully my second playthrough will be more positive. First 8 hours ended on a 3/10 for me.

Have ship, can't travel, great.
