To clarify “masterpiece” was in quotes to signify them having used that sort of verbiage and not as a mocking mechanism

Clarification accepted.

as I said that was a friend who had completed it in that timeframe.

Didn't say it to me. All I got was "$70. 20-30 hours. Play NMS instead". Did sound a little on the mocking side, if I'm entirely honest.

My point is that, yes they can pack in all this side content, but the majority of the games functionality is not finished, is broken, is widely disliked, or is just insanely mundane/formulaic

All of which is subjective, of course. I've found very little that is broken or which strikes me as "insanely mundane or formulaic". As for widely disliked. it's difficult to evaluate the truth of than when may of those same dislikers were trying to talk the game down before it was even released.

Come back in a year and we'll pick this up then. People will either being playing it or not, and either way we'll have our answer. Until then, all you're doing here is slinging mud.

Come on man, you gotta at least admit the rigging and animations are pretty bad for a AAA title

I honestly don't believe I do. I guess it's like HiFi systems - beyond a certain point I'm not sure I can tell the difference. So long as it doesn't impinge on my enjoyment (and it hasn't so far), why should I care?

You’re absolutely right on that second bit, my bad.

“Play nms instead” was also genuine, I have hundreds of hours in that game and they deserve attention for how much of a comeback they did, but I understand where you’re coming from.

However, that 3rd point I gotta push back on. Bugs are not subjective, neither is incomplete functionality.

Im gonna pass on the slinging mud comment, I think that was just an attempt to downplay my argument.

Lastly, you mean to tell me you’ve never walked into your ship and the crew mates are all standing on top of their seats glitched into the roof? You’ve never seen one npc or companion doing the stationary ghost walking animation?

If you honestly think the facial expressions are indiscernible from real facial expressions I think we can probably just stop this convo here as you’re very obviously not being honest or truthful with yourself, but maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks for having a civil convo with me btw. I appreciate it more than you probably realize.
