Has he even said anything yet about this game that sounds unbelievable? I feel like people are getting preemptively angry.
People are also forgetting that he spent the past decade creating systems and tech for NMS that he can now use in his new game. Systems and Tech he didn’t have in hand when dreaming up NMS.
As far as I know all they’ve really said so far is “this is going to be a huge and epic game!” And people already seem to be like “oh boy another lie”
I’d like to quote one of the presidents of history here:
fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.
- George W Bush
I hope they deliver, but I’m gonna need to see some gameplay footage before I’ll believe anything
Again…what have they said about this game so far that you think is a lie?
That’s a false dichotomy. They oversold (read: lied about) NMS, so I have no reason to trust that they won’t do so again on this one. Trust is earned, and I have no reason to take them at their word. I trust other devs that consistently deliver, such as Rockstar and Nintendo.
So I’ll believe it when I see it. But I’ll require actual proof this time instead of promises. The same goes for CDPR and Bethesda and every other studio where promises didn’t line up with what was actually delivered.
“The first real open world.”
That’s a rather hyperbolic statement, even if they’re not just over-hyping.
I don’t think its genius and yes, I can blame them for doing it.
Everything they showed in the trailer is already in NMS, but now it has fantasy skin. I’m willing to believe him this time.
(but still don’t preorder)
Never preorder.
i love all the game outlets pissing themselves over whether they should be pissing themselves over this game
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
If he plans on pulling a No Man’s Sky 2.0 by overhyping and then fixing in post, I can only hope he finds a gaming community far less receptive to his bullshit this time around.
God lord, can we get a bit of filtering on the bullshit of articles that get posted on this community? I apreciate anyone that spends their time filling this sub with content, but the quality of the content shared is just terrible
Then downvote and move on. No need to make people that actually post content feel unwelcome and unappreciated. That just leads to no content and thus no reason to even use Lemmy / the Fediverse.
Considering the massive push across multiple lemmy instances to completely remove downvotes, leaving a comment is actually becoming the only way to state you dont like or want specific content on a sub.
The fediverse actively disagrees with you on how to filter content quality.
And IMO a comment is far better than a vote. A vote says “I clicked a button,” whereas a comment says, “I cared enough to express myself.” I only downvote w/o commenting if another comment communicates what I wanted to, in which case I upvote that one.
Oh, heavily heavily heavily disagree. The fediverse is going to fall apart if it commits to getting rid of votes, because the website it is copying all of its formatting from was explicitly designed to self filter community content with votes.
Not being able to filter content without detailing expressly why will fill the site with garbage, because few people have the free time to waste commenting on every post, but quickly saying “yes this belongs here / no it does not” is much easier and doable while browsing.
Votes also help communities self moderate, a problem front and center on lemmy with the current situation of abysmal mod tools and worse average mod quality than reddit had. (No offense to passing mods.)
But the fediverse seems dedicated to learning this lesson the hard way, so we either need to hold on and hope the ship doesnt sink or start swimming to a better boat.
I never said we should eliminate votes, just that comments are more useful than votes alone. If you down vote, leave or upvote a comment that explains why.
The problem with votes on their own is brigading, as in people down vote stuff because it’s unpopular (at least to a very mobilized and motivated group). The vote itself doesn’t explain what’s wrong with the content, only that a lot of people clicked the button.
So I’m in favor of requiring the user to either leave or upvote a comment for the down vote function to count.
