Epic denied my refund request for this game because I had just barely over 2 hours of play time, but accepted the request of my friend I bought it with. I’ll never buy anything from them again. I should’ve known not to buy from them.

Really boring game overall. Wouldn’t recommend for full price. Maybe like $20-30.

I have a good computer with a mid size inbox (too lazy to delete), fast internet, and like 4 different mail providers.

It’s still slow. I don’t hate it though.

Fake stuff? Next you’ll tell me that the dragons in that new How to Train Your Dragon movie aren’t really dragons.

Remember when they named their voice assistant after a video game character?

It wouldn’t be lemmy if we weren’t always in a moral size measuring contest.

I don’t agree at all, the hype was evident, sure, but the procedural generation was largely the reason people didn’t like the game.

You stated that procedural generation isn’t hated, but ‘botching’ the usage of it at release is the piece that irrelevant. The people hated it because of the, admittably bad, procedural generation.

Like procedural generation, generative assets that are done well will be either indistinguishable from hand work, likely because there will be some involved, or will be incorporated in a way that they mesh well with everything else.

Everyone hated the procedural generation in no man’s sky, for example, until enough work was done to make that just a piece of the game.
