I'm not as into it as I once was, but I am not disappointed with my purchase.
It's cool you were able to find something to enjoy, but they are still advertising a game that doesn't exist and spent a lot of time promoting aspects that aren't there and seemingly refused to actually deny whether it had certain features or not.
I do not pay attention to game advertisment. It has been wrong for games for years. The E3 videos over the years only made me excited about such a game. Same goes for any other games I see preview videos of. I made my purchase after watching someone play the actual game on Twitch. So it was no mystery to me, and it is still an amazing concept of a game I have been waiting my entire life for*. It will only get better from here.
*My original idea, something I had from the late 90s was actually based on a different type of mechanic, but NMS is close enough for now. My original idea was relating to Maxis Sim series, with the ability to have a modular game where you can seamlessly transition from between planets to the ground. That small part is what made me interested in NMS, the idea that maybe we are getting to the point technologically where one of my dream game types would be possible.
