its not about getting disappointed when I get the game because I know its going to be good(not deluding myself)
like lets make a comparison between a space game made by HG and a space game made by ubisoft/rockstar/EA etc..
Any Big company space game:
limited space(1 solar system)
better graphics
more employees
making the game in a year since they have lots of employees
finishing it and contains glitches and stuff.
they don't respect the game enough and its going to be shot down by critics.
HG space game:
smaller size(in gb's)
cartoon graphics
endless universe(not limited)
more variety of things like animals
making it with passion and with a small team that work hard to turn out great.
lil bit of glitches but not too many like(assassins creed)
critics saying the game is good
you know why? because they have been working on it for a long time, they have been trying to perfect it for so long(Not like ubisoft who makes a game each year and turns out to be bad. lets add an exception for ubisoft because watchdogs2) even though they had a small team, they still did it and perfected it. and obviously people are going to love it. so you should reconsider stuff about the game because It might turn out great(not because I am deluding myself).
All this is just wishful thinking and excuses, while the """other side""" is people who have watched and read all available information and are judging based on facts.
If you want to delude yourself go right ahead, but you can at least admit it instead of shitting up the thread with your fantasy and headcanon.
I'd like to not be paired with anyone on a 'side', my points are different and we aren't the same person.
you're the only one 'shitting up the thread' with such useless and petty insults, its obnoxious and immature.
That being said, you're also the only person in here that is so adamant about how much the game is going to suck, judging only from trailers and demos... which is what people who are excited for the game are judging from. You don't have some secret info and you don't have any extra access to the game. You constantly say that you're basing it all on facts and trailers, yet I've read up on plenty of articles, watched all trailers/demos, I even watched multiple 40min+ discussions with the team's lead designer. I know what I've seen, I like what I see, you don't. Why are you trying to get everyone to hate this game just because you don't like it?
Funny coming from the guy who first started the dichotomy...
I'm not saying the game is going to suck, I'm saying that from what we know, from the facts, it isn't going to be amazing as some people seem to think.
Said people are not able to come up with ANY kind of argument as to why it's going to be good and tend to rely on "oh but trust me" as if that's proof.
Read again these "arguments" made by people trying to hype the game up:
"They don't have a marketing team, what do you expect?"
"the game has a much wider scope than some people give it credit for"
"don't you guys understand something called "they didnt show you everything?""
"they wont make another dlc's because they already have enough money"
"the devs didn't show you everything so you can get bored so fast.."
"Lets also not forget they haven't even really shown any sort of trailer for the combat"
"lets make a comparison between a space game made by HG and a space game made by ubisoft/rockstar/EA etc.."
"I know its going to be good(not deluding myself)"
Ofc I've watched trailers, demos, gameplay, so damn much interviews with Murray. I'm judging from the same information you are. The difference is I'm judging it based on that information, I'm not pretending that I have access to a crystal ball or "secret info". If you and others were doing the same you wouldn't make statements like those above(?).
People hype the game without any regard for reality, then people get sucked in and preorder based on their fantasy, once the game comes out people are hit with choice-supportive bias and post rave reviews, in turn causing more people to buy the game - however these people are less biased and are quickly hit with buyer's remorse. Anyone who has followed the gaming scene for some length of time will know this pattern well, and know the way to kill the cancer is to remind people not to buy sight unseen and not to spread baseless rumours and speculation as if they are facts.
Some people think this game looks amazing...and that's okay! Some think it looks boring and terrible...and that's okay, too! Some of those who are excited will inevitably be disappointed because they've chosen to believe the game is more than the devs have ever said it would be, and (if it turns out well) some of the naysayers may find that it's deeper than they expected. I know it's just the nature of the internet, but what is with the rage and insults over different opinions? It seems especially severe with this title and it's just weird. Those interested are not brainwashed sheeple, and those not interested are not mindless COD fanboys. I'm personally really looking forward to it, with expectations firmly in check, and I hope it delivers
because you're the only one being overly pessimistic to the point where you're talking down at people who preordered the game.
some people are overhyping and overdefending the game, and I'm not one of them. I'm basing my OPINION (don't confuse what I mean when I say opinion) on what we've seen, and I love the game. You simply don't. There isn't enough content for you to enjoy the game (from what we've seen in the content).
Apart from the top comment (which isn't even relevant, you said you were disappointed in the marketing and I explained why its probably not very good) and the one that is outdated (they've now got a combat trailer which you can base your OPINIONS on) none of these are from me, and I'm not going to defend them.
I'm not trying to be aggressive, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm not trying to defend people who are hyping the game, but you really need to tone the pessimism down, it really is pointless. People who are fantasizing the game to their liking will simply be disappointed (unless by some miracle it really IS going to be that good)
