It could be that it's a bug they haven't been able to fix yet and that he simply doesn't know
That people are nitpicking over every word he says means that he no longer has the luxury of being able to give a straight answer to anything.
If so called fans would bother their holes to learn the most basics of how a gigantic software project is put together then they'd know the answers to most of their questions and the butthurt would go away.
Come on man,does a consumer have to brush up on the fundimentals of combustion engines when buying a car? Do they have to understand electricities properties to buy a hoover with an electric motor? Do i need a degree in steelworking to buy a set of kitchen knives?
All people want is a proper answer,the whole marketimg campaign for this game has been the most vague thing i have ever seen. Half truths dressed up as answers and zero clarity on so many issues. Ive no problem with them saying MP is not working right now and they will address it in the future. But this ambiguity is actually putting me off buying the game0 -

That might be a mistake.... from everything I've read the first two hours are quite grindy and then you upgrade your capacity/inventory and it changes to a more explorey game.... 2 hours might not do it justice. I'd watch from Lets Plays and see what you think of later game action but YMMV.Just pulled the trigger on this. Most expensive games I've bought since Battlefield I'd say.
Il give the two hours and if I don't like il refund.
And yeah, the communication from the team has been pretty vague to the point of off-putting but I never bought into the hype anyone so I'm just looking forward to what I know is in the game for sure 0 -

I agree 100% with this, have said so many times in this thread - the ambiguity of the marketing and message is obviously deliberate. It tricks the uninformed and the excited alike into letting their imagination run away with themselves and we end up with the sorts of problems we're seeing now. When they put out those 4 videos a week before launch based on the themes of Explore, fight, etc, I was straight into this thread to say how much they put me off this game because it was looking more and more like "a mile wide, but an inch deep" territory just like Elite was and that all the marketing looked like it was trying to hide that fact.All people want is a proper answer,the whole marketimg campaign for this game has been the most vague thing i have ever seen.

Yeah il have to see how I get on. As long as its not driving me mental or there are no huge launch problems il play past the two hours.
No sign of being able to download yet. Hope the 6pm isnt delayed
Edit: Downloading now.0 -
A smart one does...
Im certainly not suggesting consumers should go around with blinkers on i just think its a bit of a stretch to have to have the level of knowledge you suggest for every product you buy.

I think the ambiguity is/has back fired on them a bit so maybe they will learn a bit of a lesson going forward and be a bit more concise going forward,one can hope anyway!0 -
Did you get the game to launch? Mine installed but it seems to crash after I hit play (running shows up beside the game name and then disappears).johnny_ultimate wrote: »Steam version installing now.

Controls in game via M+K is very good.

Wow, yea, I'm looking at TB's stream too, that's a man with SLI Titans and it's only hitting 80FPS? He's disabled the SLI but it's got slightly above "medium" settings and it's absolutely fked.
Explains the PC Release delay and the lack of review code going out so. Well I hope all you pre-order people hit their refund button fairly lively 0 -
