The fact that it was a kickstarter game, entirely funded by fans, is a perfectly valid reason to be upset about it.

0 - Content (Witcher 3)
1 - Apathetic (Titanfall)
2 - Mildly disappointed (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)
3 - Disappointed (The Order: 1886)
4 - Majorly disappointed (Destiny)
5 - Upset (No Man's Sky--where it should be)
6 - Angry (Duke Nukem Forever)
7 - Livid (Mass Effect 3)
8 - Vindictive (No Man's Sky--where it is)
9 - Apoplectic (???)

you're absolutely correct: no man's sky is a 4-5 at best in this hierarchy of mad i just pulled out of my ass

but during the first month of its life, it's riding snugly in the 8 range, and it shouldn't be

you can be upset about the game all you want, but NO ONE should be angry--let alone vindictive

people are just babies, the end

oh, and with regards to the kickstarter thing, the only person you're allowed to be upset with in that regard is yourself, for being stupid enough to pledge money towards funding a video game

learn from situations like mighty no. 9 and learn how to spend your money as if you have a fucking brain

otherwise, the fact that the shitty game even exists is partially your fault--and not entirely theirs

edit:
i'm using "you" in the general sense by the way--i realize you're (probably... probably) smart enough not to waste money funding some random indie game, but if you have/would, just know that it was YOUR decision to pledge the money

Mass Effect 3 should be at least a 3 on that list.

The ending of the game is not that great, but Mass Effect 3 by itself is pretty good. It is the weakest in the series when it comes to story but nearly everything else about the game is not bad like others make it out to be.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

Fans redirected their anger over ME3 into a St Jude charity drive that earned $80,000 in two weeks. The outrage was front page news on yahoo too, as I remember it. People were upset enough that they made a DLC epilogue to make it a little better.

"Upset" would have been it being mocked for a week and then everybody forgetting its existence until they see it for $5 in a bargain bin. ME3 is a solid 7.

Agreed. Extended Ending was a good closure though. Especially the destroy ending, which I think is the canon one.

If the stance or opinion is edgy or unpopular, we all know Verb is going to either agree with it or support it.

I currently have this image in my head of Sean Murray living in some kind of randomly generated funhouse that intentionally messes with the intruders.

If people are getting this mad over No Man's Sky and how it was a kick starter, I can't wait for people to wake up to the Star Citizen scam.

It's pretty astounding that fans still defend such a bullshit pay to win model.

How is that any different than the tanks in World of Tanks or paid DLC?

I don't play WoT, but the fact that the model is used in other games doesn't make it a good one. As for paid DLC, I'd sure like to see DLC that costs $15,000 and isn't restricted to playing with others that own the same DLC.

Along with what Turkey has said, the game is never ever coming out and is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) crow funded game in development. All the trailers and gameplay footage is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. A good amount of controversy was cooked up on Escapist because they posted a story from a guy who left the project and talked about how it was a pyramid scheme. They only made videos to put together a neat looking trailer but there was no substance behind it. Not to mention the man in charge is known for being a huge hack.

Repeated delays along with continually adding "new ideas" into the game. It's the hottest selling piece of Vaporware ever made. Compare the below image with where the game is now in terms of what has already been released.

Spoiler

Scam Citizen is a game that doesn't actually exist and never will.

What about it is a scam?
