- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

While I am impressed that No Man's Sky pulled a 180 in the end and I doubt they'll repeat the same mistakes with this, a dose of some skeptism is always healthy.
Also, doesn't hurt to check what the thing looks like at release--we just had The Day Before pull the ol' switcharoo on people, after all--and how it plays when it's out before making a purchase (looking right at Cyberpunk the game vs Cyberpunk the game that was pitched to people, here...no amount of "it's better now" is gonna bring the game that was hyped up before release/used "Work in Progress" as a shield to life. Not without a complete rework. Could also apply to the above The Day Before too). By all means, believe that the devs learned, I really hope they did, cuz as a Fantasy junkie, this looks like something I'd really enjoy...but also be at least a little cautious in what you're gonna throw money at
It didn't really. They added a lot of what they promised, but still not everything Sean Murray lied about at the beginning.
Fair enough. Just like Cyberpunk tho, they'll never be able to give people the game they were hyping NMS to be. Unlike Cyberpunk, IMO anyways, it does get closer to it tho (and i give it brownie points because 1) they used the money they made and put it back into the game to fix their mistakes and gave these "expansions" to players for free, and 2) they never tried to downplay anything like CDPR did. They knew they messed up, admitted to it, and fixed it. None of this "oh, the game launched better than people make it out to be. It was just a cool thing to hate Cyberpunk" thing)
