Predict the response to the launch of Light No Fire

On the one hand, Sean Murray isn't running around building up hype for things that won't be in the game. On the other hand, they aren't saying anything about what's in the game, which leaves it up to people's imagination.

My guess is that practically nothing will be in the game at launch other than base building, mounts and some minor fetch quests, and that people will be unhappy, but not as colossally unhappy as they were with No Man's Sky.

This post may be too early and assumes they are going to continue to market it just as a big open world, but we can adjust our guesses once we get to within about a month of release.

I think you're spot on, Zed.

I've got a couple of friends who are filling their pants looking at the trailers; I've been trying to get them to temper their expectations and maybe I'm just a cynic (I am), but they don't believe me that it's likely to be a big wet fart upon launch.

"I can't wait... until this game is actually (mostly) feature complete in about 8 years!"

I can't wait for release! I loved No Man's Sky right when it came out, so it's not like a need a whole lot from Hello Games to make me happy.

P.S. It would be the first time I've ever had to chop down a tree to get building material in a game.
