This isn't about pre release interviews. The ASA noted differences between current advertisement on NMSs Steam page and the content of the game. They asked Hello Games and Steam to respond. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/09/28/asa-investigating-no-mans-skys-steam-advertising/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/54n5yz/official_asa_response_valve_and_hello_games_have/

Elite Dangerous is NMS with less dickface aliens and more better flightmodels and spaceshootmans.

Brütal Legend was very good but suffered entirely from EA's lovely marketing trying to make it look like God of War. No one got sued for that. Multiplayer is an incredibly nebulous term. Yeah, the company bullshitted and haven't been doing damage control for god-knows-why but there's also no legal precedent for what would legally constitute multiplayer in a game. Being able to see what other players have named planets technically involves multiple other players. It reminds me of people to try to sue film studios because the trailers were different from the movie. Like the guy who's trying to sue WB because there were Joker scenes in the Suicide Squad trailers that weren't in the final film.

The developer straight up told people the only way for you to see what you look like is for another player to tell you. I'm not looking to start the NMS thread all over, and I don't think it will turn into a huge lawsuit. But they did set themselves up for this.

The Hammerhead was better than the Mako in every way. Faster, could actually jump worth a flying gently caress, had HOMING MISSILES. "But it couldn't take a hit" Learn to dodge, scrub And it tanked small arms fire just fine; the Mako couldn't take direct hits from Geth Armature plasma shots, either. Unless you were playing on lower difficulties, like a wee babby. Malachite_Dragon has a new favorite as of 02:39 on Sep 29, 2016 |

I guarantee ME:3 would had been a drat shade better instead of anything to do with Kei Leng you just dropped a Mako on earth in some wide open wheat field and had a one on one with some reaper throwing hate and death lasers at one another. Just you, and any surviving crew in some heavy ordinance vehicles dropped in constantly by the Normandy, a no holds bar man on reaper slugfest.

The schad from NMS is mostly from the fans - remember these are the people that sent the lead developer death threats for delaying the games release. Every time people get riled up about "lies" the devs told the rest of us go "oh yeah, that's a feature that didn't work" or "they thought it was going to be one thing but it turned out to be another." Hell even the new doom shipped without death match and there weren't any lawsuits over that one.

That's because they played the beta for Doom and were de-hyped which lead to a stunning surprise with that sweet single player. I thought there was a collective thank you card sent from SA.

Crosspostin' from the thread regarding the continuing trials of those right-wing libertarian militia asshats that took over our bird refuge here in Oregon. There was a local sheriff helping the occupiers that is currently being investigated by the FBI and sued by our state's largest newspaper. The following comes from that civil suit that the paper brought alleging that the sheriff is hiding/destroying public documents: http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2016/09/grant_county_sheriff_invokes_t.html#incart_river_home_pop quote:JOHN DAY – Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer invoked his right against self-incrimination 51 times while being questioned under oath about his handling of government records. Come read the thread to follow the overall trials if you're interested, for bonus schaden the occupiers have hosed their own legal defense so badly that the trial may be over as early as the end of next week! Read the OP and jump to the end whenever: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3761854&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Snowglobe of Doom posted:There's an Australian Rules Football team called the Western Bulldogs who are playing the Grand Final this weekend. They joined the league in 1925 and since then they've only won the finals once, way back in 1954. Their fans are understandably incredibly hyped that their team has a shot at breaking their 62 year losing streak and if they end up losing then there's going to be cascades of schadenfreude raining down all over Australia. To be fair, we just beat a pop-up franchise with no real history that had been given everything to be successful. You know, also the guys that bragged about getting the Bulldogs captain to walk out on the club and posted this poo poo on twitter since they'd already stolen one of the Bulldogs young guns are few years earlier. Yeah, that didn't bite them in the arse or anything. I don't know who the baseball equivalent is but it's the Cubs beating whoever that is at their home turf while completely outnumbering their fans so badly that a senior player/official from the club complained to the AFL that they were booed going onto the ground.
