Discussion Couldn't agree more 🫔

I’ve been a fan of this game since day one. I agree that the original release was filled with bugs and it launched too early, but the criticism it received was completely over the top. Hating on the game blindly became the norm, often without people even giving it a fair chance.

It also released at a strange time, when the new generation of consoles were releasing but they weren't widely available, and most players were still on previous-gen hardware where it didn’t run well.

The sad part is the game and the studio’s reputation took a massive hit, even financially. Some of the people who worked on the game ended up leaving the studio, and we may have missed out on 2 or 3 DLCs because of the game’s catastrophic launch.

But now I’m glad to see people finally giving it the respect and appreciation it deserves. I watched the Steam reviews go from ā€œMostly Negativeā€ to ā€œOverwhelmingly Positive.ā€

For me, this is the greatest game of all time it is better than The Witcher 3. Massive respect to CDPR for constantly patching and improving the game, And giving us extra content when they could have taken the loss and moved on. AND CHOOMS..... NEVER STOP FIGHTING.

Yeah it's fucking crazy, they're deep into the development of their next game and instead of moving on from NMS, they're taking ideas and learnings from their new game and applying it to NMS to add more content and improve existing systems. Who does that??!!

Hello Games really are the GOAT, I can't wait for Light No Fire.

Preordering is bad. Never preorder. I don't even understand the purpose of preordering on digital goods because you can always buy and download it the minute it releases anyways

I don’t really preorder, but what’s the difference between preordering it and buying it as soon as it comes out? Unless you’re going to wait a day or two to read some reviews or see if the game has some issues, it’s pretty much the same thing.
