we wouldn't be blaming car buyers for getting hyped
Totalbiscuit made a video on that in regards to NMS.
I haven't really followed NMS that closely as i don't care about day-1 purchases that are only riddled with bugs, server issues and horrible performance anyways.
But seems like there was only very little information given by the devs and they were partly unclear, partly straight out lying about some features of the game. Only purpose for that i can see: building hype.
And, once again it proves: NEVER pre-purchase and DON'T buy day-1 if there were no PC review codes sent out to reviewers you trust. Except of course you play on consoles, then go ahead and buy on day 1
Received a mail today about Titanfall 2's tech tests not coming to PC, you know what? I'm staying the hell away from this! This is without any doubt the biggest warning a developer can send out to it's playerbase.
There's absolutely no need to have public tests on consoles - the PS4 in their studio is the same that's in millions of house holds. But PCs - that's where public testing needs to be done.
This way you can already tell that there will be huge launch issues on PC.
But hey - enough screenshots, streams and videos on consoles will make people pre-order for their PC, because nowadays people don't have the patience to wait for real world reviews to come in...
Okay, this somehow escalated...
I played a little bit of Fuel again.
Such a fun arcade racer, although performance is absolutely horrible.
