I was skeptical because I suspected there would be a lot of stuff they wouldn't deliver on given the scope claimed vagueness of anything ever said about what there was to do in the game, the fact that the only coverage was on ign and the size of the dev team involved. The hype behind the game was honestly stupid. Straight up lying from the devs isn't good either though.
Having said that I don't think this is the flop of the year. Having watched a few of the PS4 release streams the part of the game that I was most interested in, (which was literally just walking around and exploring planets on foot) actually seemed to be. The best streams I watched of the game were of people walking around the same planet for hours.
If they fix the horrendous performance issues I might actually pick this one up just for that aspect because it was the part of the game I was most interested in anyway.
