wtf ‘fake’ expectations? They were real expectations! What even is a fake expectation? Like, expectations from an AI???
Stuff like it would have real 100% online multiplayer, or infinite number of highly detailed planets.
OP probably meant unrealistic expectations.
… who’s even saying that? It’s not like No Man’s Sky where that stuff actually was promised.
I think that’s exactly OPs point. There are people around who are complaining it doesn’t have features that were never mentioned or promised.
that’s madness. I can get the performance complaints and anger at Bethesda’s attitudes to them, but in terms of features, this isn’t NMS, despite the very similar premise.
I think people spend years following the development and hear every rumour and build it up way to much in their heads.
I haven’t got around to playing yet and I’ve avoided as much news as possible.
From what people are saying it sounds like Skyrim in space which is all good to me.
It’s definitely been feeling like skyrim in space to me and I love it.
I used up all of my unrealistic expectations on Star Citizen.
Some of the things I’ve heard and seen said about the game show that way too many people had incredibly unrealistic expectations for a Bethesda game that from the onset was said to be “a classic Bethesda RPG, through and through” by the man himself. If you didn’t expect Skyrim/Fallout with a fresh new aesthetic, you either weren’t paying attention or have been on some really good drugs.
Hopium.
