I feel the game will get better after launch! I still feel if you want to enjoy it! You will, some people are also hurt that it costs 59,99$

[Gibbonici]

Metacritic is useless for the first month of a release.

Wait until the drama queens are finished and for the scores to settle down, then it'll give a more accurate picture.

console kids expected something else, cutscenes and story and holding hand, or an mmo. big suprise. not.

Did you know that call of duty isn't really a war/combat simulator?..... who knew?!

you know, what happened to a time where fun was subjective and people made their own opinions on a game, and not someone else's?

Was their ever such a time? I distinctively remember reading game reviews in Amiga magazines in the 90's to decide which games to buy....And since you could only afford one magazine, you had to base it on one person's opinion.

That is not necessarily the case. When I was little I didn't really even know that 'reviews' were a thing, I just went to the store with whatever my parents gave me and bought a game that 'looked cool'. I ended up buying some of my favorite and some games that I don't really remember.

But the point is, I enjoyed games that way until I started visiting english sites, cause spanish review magazines are ♥♥♥♥, I tell you. I am sure there are many people with similar experiences.

This is why you don't bite the hype... Also, NMS is not for everyone. I for one am going into this for a relaxing, exploration exp with some resource fetching and thats ok with me.

I'm giving it a low score because of FOV mostly, but that's not the only thing

-graphics
Like I said before, FOV is absolutely terrible. I'm talking early 2000's FOV. There should be a fog mechanic to hide this terrible FOV. That must be why the camera is so low to the ground. The framerate suffers from studder whenever you turn in any direction. This is also very bad. The textures look muddy. NO POINTS

-sound
This is the best part about the game, but sadly it lacks any soul to it. There are no iconic tracks, or sounds. A lot of it feels like it was taken from public domain. It does sound very crisp. I'll give it, a plus ! 1POINT

-controls/ gameplay
The game is essantially an inventory management simulator. You collect parts and manage your inventory. Rinse and repeat.There are space battles that control really bad, and the landing of your ship is done via cutscne. No points here.

- Fun factor
The game gets tedious within the first few hours. Once you named a couple of planets, the novelty wears off. it's The space battles are no fun. i can't find the will to keep playing this at al.

Final word

No man sky. Just no. No man. Just No.

Not sure I could trust a review by someone that scores Uncharted 4 2/10

Some of the bad reviews are copy pasted but with different user names, doesnt seem legit.

Sadly Metacritic (or any other site that uses user scores) is open to abuse both by low and high scorers either who have not played the game or just want to push ratings up/down for no reason.

Lots of 0/10's. Yea, really trust worthy reviews there.

[Coyote30]

it's at 4.3 now, but worse even professional reviewers are panning it. The truth is NMS is dead on arrival on PS4, last stop for the hype/hope train is that the PC version is superior (and to be honest this was always going to be a PC game).

It's either 10/10 or 0/10.

I rate those reviews a 5/10

[JayOnSpeed]

I too like and dislike things just because random people that i'm not even sure that they have played the game say so.

From what i've seen its exactly what was promissed, nothing more, nothing less.
If people bought it they should know what it was before throwing money at it expecting it to be something different. Can't wait to try it myself.

I see lots of journalists giving good first impressions. N4G.com has lots of articles on it.
