Try Not to Get Upset...

I have a very sneaky feeling that No Man's Sky isn't going to be very good. I have seen interviews with Sean Murray, and I've seen comments liking him to Peter Moleneaux.



The funny thing is, I don't think that Hello Games is entirely responsible for all the hype this game has received since its inception, but they're certainly going to bear the brunt of it when it turns out that the game receives low meta scores and eventually leaves players wondering "What's the point?"



I believe the real reason the game was delayed was because someone higher up got the chance to play the game and panicked due to the fact that the game is all art, not enough substance.



Sure there are quadrillions of planets to explore, but is there anything really driving the gamer to go from planet to planet?



If you've seen one entirely different alien planet, you've seen them all, so to speak.



Now, to be clear, I'm purely speculating here. If you're of the "Oh my goshness, No Man's Sky is going to be the greatest game ever made by mortals" crowd, you'll probably be offended by this wild speculation. If that's the case, breathe easy as it's only speculation, and my reason for feeling this way is simply a deep down feeling I get when I assess the situation.



There's no scientific basis for my suspicions, and I will be so utterly and completely happy to be wrong about all of this. I too would like for No Man's Sky to release and absolutely blow the minds of all us Space Sim loving people out there.



I'm just saying, I won't be surprised if it turns out to be the "Spore" of our generation.



Though, to be honest, Spore didn't live up to the expectations and promises that were made, but I still had a heck of a good time playing it.



Fingers crossed.
