I still see people obsessively hating on Hello Games for the launch of No Man's Sky, saying they will never trust them, never buy a game from them etc... A very ambitious game made by (for most of it's development) less than 10 employees had to cut some of it's planned content before launch. They were (reportedly) pressured into announcing the game before they were ready, their studio flooded, they had to borrow internet from their neighbours by running ethernet out of the windows, they had a huge company suddenly advertising it as the next big AAA release despite the fact the studio was running out of money...

They aren't blameless, but it doesn't take a whole lot to see how a small group who were incredibly passionate about their work (and without a PR team) could get caught up in this situation.

But you know what? They've spent the last 10 years continually working on that game. Adding more and more content, getting it to where people expected it to be and even beyond in ways nobody could have predicted. Every single trailer they've released since has shown nothing but precicely what the game will offer. And we still see people treating them like industry villains.

There's a particular reason this bothers me so much, and it's name is Randy Pitchford.

A few years before No Man's Sky was released, Gearbox advertised the game Aliens: Colonial Marines with fabricated trailers, gameplay and screenshots. Not just things that had to be removed from the game for budgetary or time reasons, but literally just things they faked purely to advertise the game. What can only be construed as an intentional attempt to lie to the audience so they would buy a game. They were accused of using money SEGA had given them for the development of the game to fund their own proejct, Borderlands. Not only did Gearbox never try to fix Colonial Marines, to my knowledge they never even acknowledged any of the shitty stuff they did. Pitchford routinely attempted to slide that blame onto others (and if I remember rightly even said some pretty unpleasant stuff abotu Steff Sterling for daring to criticise the game on multiple occasions). Yet people are still more than happy to jump on Gearbox games uncritically. Even though they reportedly treat their staff like shit. Have very questionable means of paying their staff that afford them the opportunity to deny them bonuses even management (like Pitchford) are taking home huge bonuses of their own.

This is an example of a large developer very intentionally and maliciously lying to the audience and nobody seemed to give a shit about it even as little as a year after release.

For my money, Hello Games have proven themselves. I'll take an over-ambitious passionate group of artists who can't quite deliver on their promises over a malicious and predatory corporation any day of the week.

Fuck Gearbox.

<3 Hello Games.

I can't fuckin wait to play Light no Fire, I will buy that shit day 1.

"Light No Fire is gonna suck when it launches, remember No Man's Sky?" well for one NMS is good now, and for two they probably don't have Sony breathing down their necks and threatening to pull their funding if they don't release in the middle of pre-alpha this time

Got my first exotic ship on a new save a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with it. This popped into my head when I got it, but I just now had the time to get to it. Paradise plaaaaanet~

Trying to remember how the photomode works in No Man's Sky. Will definitely look at some planet and biome mods. I wish it supported hotsampling, still it's nice to be able to run it at a good resolution now (this was 5k, cropped for the composition).

In memory of Xxiou Games, a well loved and respected pillar of the No Man's Sky community on YouTube who passed away recently. Pyramids and kaleidoscopes were his favorites. Shine on you crazy diamond

Nada would like Minecraft I think. I could see them playing on a peaceful world, finding it more satisfying to slowly collect materials over time to build large structures rather than having immediate access to everything in creative mode. Also, the soundtrack is something I think they'd like.

#the real question is this: do they actually play it on something or do they run it on their own systems? #this goes on main actually #pspspsps nms fandom come get your random headcanons here #thorn talks #nms #no man's sky #priest entity nada #hello games #headcanon
