Why is NMS getting gonzo coverage again?

[Osiris397]

OMG, they're doing it again? There's like a bunch of game media sites spending loads of time on NMS AGAIN. How does No Man's Sky, a game hated by millions of gamers around the globe get 100x more coverage two years later than actual innovative games being launched now like The Persistance and/or Detached when NMS is still fundamentally the same game?

I feel like a week from now there's going to be the same bitching and moaning about the misgivings and bugs in the game from people that already played and discover that it's still essentially the same gameplay loop.

it's almost like there was a big update or something

It's gaming's first redemption arc.

legacyzero started doing Twitter PR

Is it comfortable under that rock of yours, or what

VR games are a small market pen, Games without VR on 3/4 core platforms are MUCH larger market pen.

Also the game is much better, with a slew of updates post NMS:N, and more coming.

Cool thread.
A huge update just released and it also just dropped on Xbox One.

OP has seen the coverage, but has yet to read any of it

 

[Invisible Cities]

People desperately want it to be good.

 

[RashBandicoot]

Because the update actually gave us the game we wanted 2 years ago? I was against it when it launched but now it's damn beautiful.

This thread is going to be fun...

 

[Crossing Eden]

What a bitter thread premise, also try using this thing called google. :|

Do you know what Gonzo means or

 

[zombiejames]

It's really good. People like playing good games.

 

[Stimpack]

It had a lot of buzz around release and the update is trying to correct a lot of issues people had. Idk, seems reasonable?

 

[verygooster]

It received a pretty hefty (and free) update after two years of extra work on it along with a controversial initial release and that's newsworthy.

 

[5taquitos]

Damn OP, how do you really feel?

 

[Metalgus]

Because it's a free update to a game that sold a couple million copies (I guess) and that said update looks to be addressing some previous complaints about missing features. Seems reasonable to me.

I don't know why you'd claim something like this when you seem completely unaware of what's been happening with the game lately, or even for months.

Gonzo is a muppet.

 

[ASaiyan]

You okay OP? The game just got another major update and an Xbone port. It's news. News that gamers who are not you are interested in. Just don't click the articles if it bothers you that much, lol.
