Stop trying to bully people. Your spamming of this entire comment thread is innapropriate. and detrimental to the discourse.

Hey, I say run it. I didn't mean to start a fight by pointing out that the game is getting a bit too much of the Cinderella treatment, and I DEFINATELY didn't want to discourage you or any other Kotaku writer from writing. I enjoyed reading each one, and the dev process on this one really is fascinating.

Okay I'm seeing that you have responded to everyone. Who the heck do you think you are? Stop trying to shut down the conversation, please.

... Nobody is saying any of those things. You just walked into a room full of people having a nice discussion and flipped the table....

It's silly to use a number to quantify the unquantifiable.

I think he's referring to the long history of games that have promised us the sky and failed to deliver. Look elsewhere in these posts: Tina even makes a Peter Molyneux joke.

I think maybe you're new to english, new to gaming, or both? You are defending this…

I'm so confused. By the very definitions of the pages you linked, how are the following article headlines NOT hyperbole? (or "Hype")?

This Is the Most Beautiful Game You'll See All Year" - Time Magazine Headline, "The 13 things you need to know about 'No Man's Sky,' the most ambitious (and crazy?) game at E3" -EW, "How…

Excuse me. You are not keeping up with the conversation. Tina's stories are great, and not problematic in and of themselves. I'm talking about the news media on the whole's coverage of this game. Please read the other posts in this thread and expand your understanding of what's being said before posting further, or…

Oh, I'm excited! Very excited, it looks cool. People should be excited, and I'm right there with you when you say that the design process is the interesting story here. If it comes out on PC I'll buy it in a second JUST to support the brave choice.

But look at the story headlines: "No Man's Sky': the game that 'won' E3…

Let me be real clear: Not trying to criticize Kotaku specifically here. (Seeing your response, I think that's how it came off?) There's no need to defend these stories. The net is on fire with stuff about this game ever since E3, but as you said at the top of your story nobody really knows anything yet beyond some…

"We still don't know too much about No Man's Sky, but I think that's partially the point."

I think that there's a danger in overhyping this thing. Kotaku alone has run multiple stories every day... And so have other news outlets.

We don't know much yet. It's COOL, yeah, but the gaming press needs to be careful not to…

It's implied by your every post. You are focused on my language choice and "shutting me down" instead of offering counter-points. It's classing trolling.

Here, watch this and leave me alone.

Also? I didn't say "all games since Activision." I said that "

Wow. You are completely out of line. I'm not calling you names or cursing at you at all. What a sad little monster you turned into, all of the sudden. I'm just restating the same opinion in response to your posts, and you are getting increasingly aggravated to the point of violating site rules. Why does your desire to…

You're right - We'd better NOT tell them that we thought that Reaper of Souls was BS, then, because the games that came before were better. Is that you logic?

They took a step backwards to save some money. If we don't make a point of calling them on it then they'll do it the next time, too.

I'm tired of people who don't…

I'm not saying they've NEVER done it. I'm saying that their last two releases are a step backwards. I didn't buy the Panda Island xpac.

Go ahead and defend the company all you want. They're garbage now. Hearthstone is casual garbage, WoW has turned to casual garbage. There has been a gradual-yet-perceptible decline in…

But until now the ad wasn't the ENTIRETY of the FMV in the game. There was fresh FMV in the game that wasn't used as an advertising tool. There was usually at least 3 other FMVs to back up the ad.

....

If by intro you mean "Advertisement that was released on the internet for free a long time before the expac was released," then yes. It still had the intro.

His comments about vr vs. the "Even people watching should be having fun" philosophy at this year's EA increased my respect for him as an artist tenfold... And it was already pretty high. I've gone from being a Nintendo critic to a fanboy reborn in the space of a week. That said, I've always held at every point in my…

Your post makes me think that you're under the impression that there's something manly about drinking, opening, or otherwise interacting with champagne.

There is nothing manly about champagne, and therefor no shame in not being good at opening in. Nay, 'tis more manly to have the lowly announcer open it for you. Such…
