Interesting but worthless if the game itself is devoid of a compelling reason to stay.

This reeks of over promise under deliver. I really hope Sean learned his lesson…

Yeah, they did a complete 180 and redeemed themselves with NMS, but no way in hell am I buying their next game on launch. There’s no telling what kind of game it will be, or what it may become.

I'm worried this is just going to be another survival/base builder. The trailer didn't show much in the way of actual things to do outside of that.

If I had to guess, the world is going to be empty and become populated by the things people build... which seems unlikely to result in particularly enticing gameplay. Guess we'll see

Based on Hello Games' typical MO, they want people to be able to leave their marks on the world and interact through shared events that further some goal as each person does things semi-independently of others.

Yeah I'll keep an eye on it but there's no way I'm getting it for at least a month after launch to see the way it turns out.

If it sucks, pass. I'll buy it on sale if they ever fix it.

Sean literally keeps sharing memes about the fact that he's wayyy overpromising as if it's endearing or something stupid. And they're getting tens of thousands of likes.
