I'm surprised the ASA finally finished his mug of tea and decided to do some work.
On one hand, the fellow from Hello Games clearly did nothing to slow down the hype train and was extremely economical with the truth. In fact if you wanted to be pedantic, he clearly lied about the game's features.
On the other hand, this is why you don't preorder games. I would never stump up the full AAA price tag without having played the game. And the distinct lack of actual information around the game before launch was very ominous.
Not to mention the fact it is an indie game. Companies like Ubisoft and EA regularly cock up AAA titles, why on Earth would you trust an indie company to deliver?
I don't think it's the fact that there's a gap; it's that the gap is so bloody huge.
If that's in-game footage I'll eat a lot of hats. I know I've not played as much as you but it's no more representative of the game than is the NMS one.
I bought it for my son in August, but I note that while he hasn't expressed dissatisfaction with it, he barely plays it now. I suspect he was finding it rather repetitive and hence it lost its attraction. I also suspect he's not the only one, since when I was in a branch of Game I was surprised to see lots and lots of second hand copies of NMS that they had already.
He either had no idea what his developers were doing and so was being dishonest about having a clue what the game was, or he did know and knew it wasn't going to be a feature and just lied to drive sales and hype...
The other companies lies are down to failing to do any proper QA testing normally - and they have been called on it. Fines/refunds/partial refunds were the result. Why should the independants not be held equally to account?
That said, the trailers since have been less overblown. NMS is still far worse.
I must play a bit more...
cheers

If you're happy to log in, discover a few odd planets/creatures then log out... it's pretty and diverting - but if you're after a game, you'll be bored as f*** really quickly
Wait till its £5 in the bargain bin. It looks interesting enough but anyone paying the full price got bumped IMO.
What I was saying is that the signs were there for people who preordered and bought it on launch. If they'd waited for the reviews they would know what they were getting into. This is why paying for a game that isn't even out is dumb, especially in the age of digital game distribution.
Sean Murray can quite happily dry his tears with the millions he's made off the game already, due to preorders.
