@madman356647: MGSV was never marketed to be the same as the original games, it was always marketed as more open world and didn't talk about the story that much. The 'E3 graphics' for Watch Dogs were also unfinished, iirc, meaning they were scrapped earlier.
Watch Dogs wasn't marketed on launch w/ the 'E3 graphics', MGSV was never marketed as more than what it was. MGSV had a story, people just weren't happy with it because the fanbase built it up as if it was going to be more than it actually was, and it did close the 'loop', it showed what was going on between MGS3/PW and MG1.
Cinematic trailers aren't gameplay trailers and don't try to pass as gameplay trailers.
The issue w/ NMS is that they still have the E3 footage showing on Steam as if that was the final product (pictures too, I believe), and it's been there for weeks with no sign of any change (or a word from the devs). While Watch Dogs was 'downgraded' from what they initially showed, and MGSV was always ambiguous but never promised more then what was actually there (that was a case of the fanbase building hype, expecting it to be super cinematic like the previous games), No Man's Sky most definitely did and it's still showing itself off as more than what it actually is.
