That entirely depends on how savings are handled in the game and how much time they can potentially waste.

It doesnt matter how much or how little time you lose. A game shouldn't crash that much lol.

So here's my opinion of the game - it's a great time waster, especially if you have an hour or so to spare and want to listen to a podcast while doing something relaxing and pretty. I put it in the same category as Guild Wars 2 in that respect. They're both aesthetically beautiful games that allow you to explore a lush world without really encountering any true difficulty (unless you want it - the raids in Guild Wars 2 are actually very well designed, and, dare I say - can be quite challenging!).
Now here're the differences between the two - Guild Wars 2 is a game I can also play with friends or strangers, has more interesting content, an actual story, continual updates, and is somehow cheaper. I could literally write paragraphs about each of the items in that list, but seriously, that's it. Guild Wars 2 feels like an actual game whereas NMS is the computer equivalent of Pokemon Go (that is, it's basically a walking simulator except you're not even getting any exercise). So I guess let me be the ten thousandth person to say that NMS would've been great at a fifteen dollar price point.
Unrelated, did anyone else find the review posted in #357 to be the most long-winded thing? I sped it up to 2x and still couldn't sit through it all without closing. Also I find his schtick to be a bit over the top.
Just to add that GW2 is not only cheaper, it's free. Beautiful game that everyone with an MMO or just RPG background should check out, even for solo playing.

maybe it's just me but back in WoL whenever my score screen refused to load i would get so angry at blizzard for pushing out such an unpolished game to the point of me thinking way less of the whole package... and that was just the score screen not working... almost a crash an hour seemingly at random..? i play a lot of indie games that just flat out never crash, let alone with any consistency.. it seems like a big issue lol

I think he really like his experience from the first couple of hours of gameplay, that and he pointed out that the tech marvel of the game (procedural generated worlds, etc) was pretty impressive.
Ehh yea, thinking about it 5/10 does seem a bit scewed for the game being launched at a $60 price point. If the game were priced reasonable I could see a 5 or 6 rating, but personally I'd view the game as closer to a 3 or 4 in it's current state. It's tempting to go even lower when you consider the misinformation generated by the devs, but I think most people who do reviews like that prefer to rate the actual game/experience not how well it lived up to it's hype.

Here is the twist. Whoever you think is angry about a dev company of videogames for a game they didn't buy... is not anger, believe me, noone writing on the internet is as invested as you might think. You are seen as a shill because no matter what a publisher or game developer did wrong, you will downplay it and outright deny it for the most part, which ends up being impossible to discuss anything with you because sooningly enough you will start with one liners, semantics arguments like the one about fraud, or use different versions of you are just a random hater on the internet like you are pretty much doing with Bo1b. With whom i disagree on the tone, but not in the substance with one exception. Or maybe you are right and most people are missrepresenting you (even tho i think in itself that should raise some flags at how you are acting towards others if that translates into a general opinion).
I don't think you do it on purpose, you are just unable to see through that other people's opinion which differs with yours, on a completely subjective subject like this one, can be completely right and acceptable. Which is pretty much, some people don't mind watching a bad business burn. And this does not inherently mean being punished by the goverment, or some dude flailing a whip, but just the expectations from most people, yourself included probably, that bad business practices should result in bad results. Just that you, in this particular case, don't find it enough to warrant yourself for feeling that way, but in no way it means it's not acceptable or even sensible for anybody else.
Finally someone caught on to Plansix. If Plansix likes something and you don't, you are not allowed to express your opinion. Plansix will almost never actually take part in an actual discussion but almost always dismiss your opinion with one-liners.

That Angry Joe dude is unwatchable. I'm boted atm but I can't stand more than 2 minutes of over-emotional internet attention whoring.

I see, i thought you meant the oppossite (that 7 crashes out of 12 hours wasn't that bad), that's why i pointed out the article where it explains that you can't save whenever you want. Bad english is bad

Attention whoring... I mean... I was with you until you brought that up. What the fuck is attention whoring? The guy has 2.6 million subs, he makes money like this. How is he attention whoring? It's his job to make and sell his product. You wouldn't say Honda is attention whoring when you see some bullshit Honda Civic ad where the car drives over a perfect road in the middle of the desert, looking majestic as fuck. Product -> eyeballs -> money.
I don't mind his over-emotional shit, he's Angry Joe, he's like that, but it does get a bit irritating and I see why people would just hate that. I kind of dislike his hired yes-man, but still, he's more genuine than 99% of game reviewers. Totalbiscuit is not producing a lot of content anymore and he doesn't review AAA titles very much, Jim Sterling is fully unhinged, everyone else is a paid shill or values form over content. If I had to rely on one game reviewer (which I don't), it just might be him, despite his colorful delivery.

if expensive cars aren't attention whoring then i don't know what is ^_^

You don't mind much about driving i guess, because there are massive differences between cheap and expensive cars rather than just the outside.

I feel like we're drifting off topic here.

At 32:15 this girl literally points Joe's revolver at his head as a joke (in his NMS review). I think it's a real revolver, I'm sure it's empty but still... Fucking Texans...

Bethesda games are probably the most unstable games ever created and are frequently in people's top 10 lists.
But then they've built up a couple decades worth of reputation for giant scope and detail in their games, not to mention being some of the most openly moddable games ever...and, at the very least, are designed for PC instead of having the worst porting jobs ever...

Bethesda hasn't focused on PC development of their games since Oblivion.
Skyrim, FO4, you can tell that they were developed for consoles first and foremost then later for PC as an afterthought.
But then again with how greatly consoles outnumer gaming PC it is only economically wise for developers to focus on consoles first. Unless you can make millions selling virtual hats like GabEn

I trust angryjoe for most of his game reviews .they are pretty good
and to the people questioning his 5/10, he gave it that score because he really enjoyed first 2 hours or so of the gameplay and he points it out throughout his video that the game had much more potential than the shell it is now . He might be a bit generous to give it a 5/10. I would have given it 4/10 for those 8 crashes .

Ok (I don't know who she is) but he's a Texan with guns laying around the house and alluding to suicide casually. And she's pointing at him with a gun she doesn't know with absolute certainty is empty. Maybe it's a prop, I don't think so. Either way x_X. As a gun owner that makes me cringe so hard.

i think in 1 year this game will be $15.
i'm a 2nd amendment believer but my gun owning friends don't trust my words because i don't own a gun.
in fact, i think the average citizen should be able to own any weapon that puts them on equal footing with the government. In 1789 that was a gun. Nowadays, I think people should be able to re enforce their homes to withstand missile and tank fire and people should be able to wear bullet proof vests.
In Canada, wearing a bullet proof vest is illegal. you see, you must be available to be shot by the cops at any time like they shot Wade Lawson and Sam Yatim.

I am sure you should take this to the US politic thread or r/politic or something, you are way off topic.
speaking of shooting, the shooting mechanics in NMS makes fallout 4's look like a masterpiece, and makes overwatch's hilariously huge hitboxes normal by comparison.
oh well, what do you expect from a studio who only had 2 shitty mobile games on their resume.
