Nice reply and i agree.

We're now reaching that stage where we don't want to name camps but are going to anyway. Always a good sign for a thread.

Whether or not you think the 5/5 review for NMS is credible, this argument does not apply here. The DD review of NMS is reviewing the game on current content, not on content that's yet to come. That's not the case with your example of Splatoon becoming 10-worthy after more content was released. And in any case, Splatoon got at least one 10/10 and many 9+ scores in its original form. 

I see it this way: both games had missing content and features on launch, one added them later on, the other could be getting them at some point. We dont know right now. But the matter is both games are flawed; they both (clearly) offered desired gameplay, which many people wanted but the developers failed to deliver something. Quality? Quantity? Polish? I dont know, but many people dislike NMS. And I know Splatoon would receiver the same hate if it was in its launch state throughout its life.

I completely disagree with those perfect or +9 scores Splatoon received back then, heck even nowadays. Not a fan of having to update my game for content, and Splatoon did it like 3 times a month...

Anyway, what this review offers, according to OP, is to judge a game for what it is. And it is missing features. I mean, imagine you buy a burger, and it comes without meat. Is it still good, if we judge it based on it missing a main feature of a burger? Or McDonald's says that when I eat this burger it will have x y and z, but it doesnt? 

I am starting to think if you like NMS its best to hide out till the storm passes.

Is that what you do in NMS or do you have a good suit upgrade?

I run and hide in my ship. Then fly away.  It might work for VGZ as well.  Warp out!!!!!

I give it about 1 more week.

Having read the review, I feel like it has a lot of fluff to it, referencing various ideas and philosophies without getting into the meat of the game. What the review describes sounds like a game with a great concept, but it never quite gets deep into the game until the very end, and it feels very brief too. The review sounds great, but doesn't quite paint a good idea of the game in general. Not one I would use to base my decision on whether to buy the game or not.

I love the game but it's a 6/10, maybe 7/10 if it stops crashing every night.

Dunno what the reviewer is smoking but
"You’ll take off into space, and then it will hit you; an overwhelmingly existentialist feeling, almost melancholia, that there you are in a very vast space, and you really are on your own. There might be one or two other ships floating around, but it’s a lonely, almost empty blackness that surrounds you, and nothing comforting or familiar is remotely close to you."

Everywhere I jump a fleet of trader shows up 5 seconds later. Every system has a space station which fills with traffic when you land. Every planet is littered with outposts with a Walmart greeter inside. Blackness? Where? I can't find any. Emptiness? Where, space is floating rocks no matter how far you fly out until the game crashes.

After a few hours everything is familiar, only the scenery on the planets change. Which is I admit pretty relaxing to run and fly through and see some of those weird mix and match animals.

If you want all that remote empty hostile blackness, go exploring in Elite Dangerous. It's multiplayer sure, didn't see anyone for months while exploring the Galaxy. It gave me a real sense of how frigging mind bogglingly huge the galaxy is and what 400 billion means. Coming back 'home' to land after all that time was a real emotional experience. NMS feels like hopping between snow globes. It's fun, yet it gives me no sense of scale or where I am or have been.

I'm going to jump to the next snow globe now, this planet is too purple for me. Perhaps I'll try a green star next. Fun factor low, 75%!
