@monkehhh:Thanks. I guess I just saw i7 and immediately thought I needed a CPU upgrade in order to play this thing. Is it that the i7 they list is on the lower-end of the i7 cpus?
It's a gross simplification, but generally speaking the i5 and i7 models are equivalent, short of hyper-threading. Not something used in many games, so unless you're into production type stuff, not always very relevant.
I think a lot of people built up this narrative in their head that this was the pretty, infinite Star Citizen that was accessible to them, and now that folks are realizing that the game isn't what (what I have to assume is largely their imaginations, I felt like this game always seemed pretty thin from everything they showed) they thought it would be, they feel deceived and duped by the developers or something.
Like a lot of things, No Man's Sky seems like a victim of zeitgeist more than anything. People get the wrong idea about your product and it rarely goes well after that.
@redbullet685: Not sure if you know this, but the first two thirds of High Tension are basically ripped directly out of Dean Koontz's Intensity. I actually like that book a great deal, and when I saw that film I was able to tell folks what the next scene coming was. Excluding the lesbian subplot and the terrible twist, they spend much of their times identical.
