• Wow, what brilliant circular logic. Only people who enjoy the game are the target audience, that’s a great marketing tactic right there.

• I am EXACTLY the target audience for this game. Space sims have been some of my favorite games since I played Wing Commander II. I was just as wowed by the initial trailer for NMS as anyone else. The game let us all down and I don’t think it deserves a pass for adding a bunch of boring activities to do in addition to the boring core gameplay.

• As I said the game is not stable and I’m not the one who brought up this comparison.

  But I can tell you that I regret the ~20 I spent on NMS, and I don’t regret the ~35 I spent on SC over a decade ago.

  Just the dogfighting module alone was better than any half-hour slice of my time with NMS.

• I’ve tried it multiple times over the years and getting fun out of the game is like squeezing blood from a stone. The core gameplay is a shallow grind, and almost all of the updates just bolt on other shallow systems onto that core. I legitimately cannot fathom what you enjoy about it unless you’re playing with friends which can make anything enjoyable.

• I mean, I won’t defend the stability, but the gameplay is unironically better? At least you can see interesting things when exploring, and dogfighting is so much better it’s barely comparable.

• Never ceases to amaze me how the game still sucks after 10 years of content updates

• Yeah that’s a much more reasonable criticism. There is an option to enable enemy upscaling which helps if you get overleveled.

• I’m extremely curious what other games you have played where sidequest content is better written than in W3.
