Think my biggest issue with it is1. Lack of FoV slider on consoles, and it's like 70. It also crashes a shit ton2. The rocks you mine from disappear frequently when you get close to them3. It fails to do a good job at the thing it promised, which is an insane amount of different worlds with different environments. It's mostly just a color change. It fails at the one thing it was mainly supposed to do.

Except hbomber's review is an obnoxious
but unless you're a clairvoyant, i'm not sure what gives you the leverage to say that"you're not actually having fun--you're actually bored"huh
What are you talking about? I have no idea who this guy is and as far as I know I've never seen his videos or commented about them. Your post said he's different, described as, "measured, reasonable, and delivered in a rational, calm, and fair-minded way", except the video you posted is the total opposite of that.
I never said he didn't have fun. "mistakes boredom for ennui" -- he calls it empty, says the experience begins to feel meaningless, mundane, slow-paced, simple, and similar. The vast majority of criticism has been that said features are shallow and ultimately boring; hbomber basically calls them stupid and describes his experience as superior because he was able to "get" it and they weren't.

I've linked four of his videos here before--two of which you HAVE seen and commented on:
Decent vid so far. It's always been weird how these people get offended by statistics like "1 in 5", and so forth. I was kind of hoping this 17 minute video would be more than, "SoA's rebuttal of 1 in 5 is wrong because he used the wrong study and he's a silly manchild". Because that's literally all it is.
He seemed to lose his thesis throughout the video, eventually contradicting himself by talking about how far storyless action games have come and how fans really do desire less sexual exploitation and power fantasy over meatheads and bimbos. And really, the generic alt-right/anti-feminist arguments he presents here really are the lowest hanging fruits he could go for. It feels like neither side really has an interest in understanding what the other is saying.
and what's the matter with that
hbomber says the repetitive aspects are actually good because space is bland and meaningless -- I disagree, and I think he's giving way too much credit to the intentions of the developers. They clearly have a great procedural generation system, but they failed to do much with it.
Ah yes, truly "erection of enmity" material, right here.
Quote from: A Smooth Chicken on September 04, 2016, 02:49:50 PMAh yes, truly "erection of enmity" material, right here. basicallyi mean, when you take a video in which there's nothing to criticize, and then criticize it, that's basically what that is
I'm not paying $60 for a broken game.
I hereby lock this thread
I guess it's a good thing the thread wasn't locked yet: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-09-28-advertising-standards-launches-investigation-into-no-mans-sky
When it comes to Steam this game dropped to 943 players playing at the same time one day with a peak of 2,382. It's cute that Sean went into hiding after August 18th and Hello Games has nothing to say about the content which Sean was talking about in his videos. It's as if the PR guy and the developer went into hiding the moment the players stated to realize this game is not what was promised.

I mean what with all of the hate directed at them immediately after launch trying to calm people down right away wouldn't help. Given how it turned out I don't blame them for going into hiding for a little while.A FUCKING LEAF

This game was featured on my local news station the other day. It was presented by a couple thirty-somethings who were very enthusiastic about the number of planets and whatnot. Not a word was said about the backlash.I'm not kidding when I tell people that my area lives some four or five years in the past.
