Millions get screwed by COD every year and still buy it.

No one gets screwed by cod every year. You buy what you wanted and Activision showed cod fans what they wanted. It seems you people can't get that through your skull.

They're lining up already to be BF'd by dice/ea's BF1 ;), people forget the major issues BF3, BF4, etc have had for a long time after release until they finally patch it all up.

Yeah could start by being honest, it works really well for customers.

What I mean is that in 2 hours you barely do anything in this game. So it's easy to lose track of time with it.

It's a good thing we have this article because there are many people who believe there's unlimited time for refunds with this title.

@Hoffmann
"People should be careful with just every game at launch these days."

especailly games where they don't ship any reviewable copies before the release date and pleads to the public not to watch any early video showing up on youtube. this just goes to show how this game is quite high in refunds, which some people still are a bit in denial about.

I've said this for months and got so much hate and down votes. Now look, I was right.

Except it doesn't suck. It's no masterpiece, either, and I can definitely see why there was such a shitstorm because of the lies - the developers had it coming - but the game itself is good, if you like exploring and grinding.

I like exploring and grinding, and because of that, I've had a lot of fun with the game so far. It helps that I never paid attention to the hype, as well.

Your statement is still somewhat accurate, if you change the last sentence to something like:

"This game doesn't require you to play it to know if it's for you or not".

Because, seriously, you only need to read a few reviews, ranging from good to bad, and watch some let's plays - it's pretty easy on the PS4, using Live from Playstation - to find out whether this game will be your cup of tea or not. As it is, it's obviously a highly divisive product. People either seem to love it or hate it, with very little wiggle room for a middle point here. I'm in the love camp.

I think one can potentially make a good judgement on if they'll like a game based on what they see before buying. Prudence is never a bad thing when spending money on something, either a game or anything else we spend money on.

At the same time though, one can't really go on to say, "that game sucks" with any real 1st hand knowledge to be able to express why it sucks without actually playing it....and nowadays, that tends to be the more common motif in all these forums about the quality of a particular game.

And the more recent advent of where people are told what they should hate about a game before it's even released, or soon after it's released, becoming the thing that people latch onto to say why the game sucks, even though copious numbers of other people will say that it doesn't. I mean, NMS certainly has things beyond the lack of a MP feature which it can be critiqued on which could be much more meaningful for the end player than all the general comments of "it sucks", but you wouldn't actually be able to express in detail what you feel sucks about it, or make it relate for the end user as a whole.

I dunno, it's as if people can't accept that people have different tastes or something.

To me, NMS doesn't suck. It has it's flaws, but generally, I'm enjoying it. Won't consider it the best game I ever played, and can cite some criticisms I have for it, but I formed those critiques based on actual 1st hand experience. At best, you can only say it sucks based on spurious analytical analysis with absolutely no 1st hand experience to say how all those things which turned you off actually turn out in the overall game play experience.....thus....making your opinion of the game completely invalid beyond your own preference of if it's something that appeals to you.

Funny how that works huh?

Well, they dont look as promised. But this game has almost nothing they promised.

I disagree the game has almost all feature that were said to be. multiplayer does not fit for this type of game. the only missing feature i am dissapointed about really is the factions war and it is also pretty useless. i knew that this is what to expect from this game so i was satifsied

@zivtheawesome I was against Ubisoft & their downgrades too & was very vocal about them, still am to this day. I always will be the same way that I'm very vocal about Gearbox & have stuck by never buying their products again. I will do the same with Hello Games & anything by Shahid Kamal Ahmad also.

The level of misinformation spread by Sean Murray in order to falsely sell his product to unwitting consumers is at Randy Pitchford levels & that's unacceptable. He should be held accountable for it just like all the others.

The fact you're so openly disagreeing despite all the factual evidence just shows your blind ignorance i'm afraid.

I really think it should have been £29.99.

It is currently £46.99 in my local GAME. That is ridiculous.

@Pintheshadows even though this should be £30 or less title. GAME are known to overcharge for new and used games. For example take FIFA a yearly released title. Game seem to think it's ok to charge £50 for FIFA 17 when the likes of Tesco, Grainger games sell it for £40.

I remember about 5 years ago. Around when FIFA 12 was about to release. Supermarkets like Tesco and Asda was selling FIFA 12 for £35 new. GAME was selling it for £50 and one of the higher ups at GAME complained to the media that supermarkets should not be able to sell them that cheap as it will put them out of business. In fact GAME did almost go out of business.

I don't know what world you live in where "run into another person" can also mean "occupy the same space but not be able to see or meet a person," but it's not the real world.

Servbot41, I don't believe that, I'm saying that's how lawyers will deflect you. You clearly have never done a serious jury duty...

Don't be a douche, read before commenting please. You people just want to attack something.

Also, it IS a video game, not the real world. lol. Smh, some people's kids...

Some games are worth to buy at launch indeed, but they seem to become a rare occassion now between all these buggy experiences,..or in the case of NMS, a lesser experience than expected

I have bought about a dozen games based solely on the hate they received. Some are among the best games I played this generation.

And the reviewers/ journos were all notorious for doing exactly what they are doing with NMS.

I am loving NMS by the way, I even have the platinum.

Reviews even aren't always a good indicator on if a game is worth it.

One thing you can count on though is that the internet won't let a bad game go unpunished....unless it's on one's preferred console....so the problem is discerning the BS concern reviews against those who have actually played it, and in some cases, with exclusives, finding the middle ground which is likely where the truth resides.

Seems like a lot of work to actually know if a game is good or not.....which is why I tend to just by the games that look like I'd enjoy them. Often day one, sometimes later. It's rare I'm actually disappointed in a game I buy day one, because those tend to be the games I would actually like, and I do keep up with them more so know what more to expect from them.

Even things like QB, which ended up disappointing for me, wasn't on a level of disappointment that made me regret buying it day one. Just something I realized I could have waited to play, but no real harm done other than maybe spending a bit more. Will support the game though, because it's good enough.

That too^^

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.
