No Man's Sky has had SEVENTEEN major updates since Internet Historian's video came out. Sean being a technical guy and being absolutely hopeless at PR really worked against him, but breaking down all the complaints into information he could use to prioritise fixes and updates is exactly how a good technical lead would handle feedback. His strengths came through.

[@awesome_by_default]

No Man's Sky is the equivalent of the: "let the mechanics design the car" type of situation. Sure, maybe they won't be the best at marketing or PR, maybe the first version won't be great, but you give them feedback and they will make that the best damn car you've ever driven.

[@Drocksas]

I still regret getting sucked into the hypetrain and going against my gut when this game came out. That regret was compounded by the fact that I was among those who frowned at the devs without understanding their story. This video, out of *everything* Internet Historian has made, is the one most precious to me. It showed me that not every disaster is because of greed or hate or malice. Sometimes its just a series of circumstances spiralling out of control. And, sometimes, the people involved actively try to make things better. God bless the folks at Hello games.

[@colemanroberts1102]

And to be honest, I loved the feeling of being the first to discover something, of getting to name a planet, its wildlife, its plants. But when I realized how limited it was, I turned my nose up like countless others did. Hence the second part of my original comment.

[@braddl9442]

This is why the phrase "Can they pull a No Mans Sky" when a game launches bad is now a thing. A standard was set.

[@SylvaGardenia]

The fact that there was an update of nearly 6 GB not even 24 hours ago makes his talk about the game just being constantly worked on that much more real. Followed the typical trek of "bored because of lack of engagement" to "holy shit this is one of my favorite games and I hope it keeps going for as long as they can make it" and it's an experience I'll never forget.

[@moviebad109]

Yup, I played it on release, played for a week or so and gave up for lack of content. I went back to it with 2 friends to do some multiplayer about 6 months ago, and we had an absolute blast. So much more to do now. Setting up bases on resource rich planets, missions, the nexus stuff, the new fleet mechanic. We got about 80 hours out of that playthrough in total. Which is almost 4 times what I got out of it at release. And the best part was that ALL of the updates are free. It sat there collecting dust for a long while, but becuase of the passion of the devs, it was also collecting updates.

[@standard-carrier-wo-chan]

For real. The devs turned the one of the absolute biggest disasters of game releases to ever grace this Earth into probably the only successful gaming redemption story in history. I bought the game on launch day and immediately forgot about it, but now my little brother is racking mad hours into the game. I've largely grown up from my gaming, but once in a while I'd come back and just explore around, and marvel at how much the game was transformed.

[@Th3Kingism]

Not to mention them doing these updates for free instead of charging and making them paid DLC like a lot of other game developing companies would.

Just a note, Tom Clancy games are NOT made in any way, shape, or form by Tom Clancy. He was an author that dealt very heavily in espionage and military based fiction and sold rights to his titles for games to be made. He passed October 1st, 2013. Rest in peace, king.

[@PolymurExcel]

I don’t think the games are really adapted from his books either. At least I don’t recall Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon being books. Just Rainbow Six, even then the original book seemed quite different.

[@HaveAPieceOfFishOY]

​@@PolymurExcel you're pretty well spot on, the original intent was to adapt more of his work though. Because Ubisoft had the rights to use Clancy's name, they ended up just tacking it onto other projects they were working on (Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, etc). Only two projects ended up being (loosely) based on his books, Rainbow Six and Sum Of All Fears.

If you are interested in hearing more of the story, Sean Murray did a nice presentation at GDC about his experience a few years after release when the game was in a much better state. He sounds so much more natural and confident at public speaking with all that pressure off his shoulders. It’s a pretty great presentation.

[@DrFunkman]

In Hello Games’s defense, when a major studio backs you, they control when you release. Microsoft almost voted to release the unfinished version of Halo 2, and the only reason Bungie got an extra year to finish it was because the head of Microsoft Studios threatened to resign if Bungie didn’t get an extra year

[@Robehn]

47:18 The unopened bottle of celebratory champagne always gets me. It really shows just how bad they felt about the launch and how dedicated they were that they didn’t even take a moment to revel in the fact that they launched a AAA game(although a bad one) like many other studios would have.

[@DKlett1]

1:19:31 giving people a timeline after promising the fixes would have set even more expectations which was the exact same problem that got them into that mess. I think they should have given updates on the patches as they happened in development instead of complete silence but maybe that would have caused other problems I didn't think about.

[@Jack_Rakan]

I think the updates on the patch progress would have been called more lies and demand proof, thus giving Sean two options: release the patch early with fewer features/bug fixes, resulting in the gaming press calling it a rush job/ lip service patch, and ending in more bad PR. Or not releasing the patch early, feeding the argument that Sean is a liar, and ending in more bad PR. So imo, the complete radio silence and releasing new updates only when the devs are sure they're ready was the right call.

[@billyxxxx1738]

Considering their position after the release i think it was a smart move to stay silent and let the fans warm back up to Hello games through their actions. Not only would it highlight that they haven't abandoned the game but show their sincerity, and most importantly effort of fixing their mistakes. It's understanable if their are people who still wouldn't go back to NMS aftert the debacle and still see Sean as just a scummy scam artist. But no one can deny, that they actually gave effort in fixing their game and not just be up their own asses. A sentiment that even big triple A studios fail to do still.

[@OBEYTHEPYRAMID]

nah, complete silence was the way to go. People get hipped for anything and it's annoying. Now(after all that) they are still releasing new content for free and the game is awesome.

Even before the release of Next, I was still shitting on the game because I knew that they wouldn't be able to fix a fundamentally broken game because of the absolute overhaul it would require and was convinced that people who were hyped up about Next and Beyond were just full of copium. Until I realized that I was utterly wrong and HG had done what I thought was impossible. Then I bought the game. Being wrong and having to eat my words never felt so good.

It's fun watching people's reactions and how their perception changes when they realise what actually went down. "That zone between 50 and 52" probably get's my vote for next as it has some great editing, or "My Immortal" which is a dramatic reading of a really bazar emo harry potter fan fiction, but there's a nice back library of entertaining video's and you can't really go wrong. Keep up the great content, I love your overall positivity!

Seeing Alicia get this tilted over it is both gratifying and tilting. Because shes right, this is messed up, though not exactly as it seems either But also almost all her questions get answered *in* the video. Sometimes in the very line she interrupted to pause. And didnt rewind. So theres elements missed

[@Ragedaonenlonely]

Yes. I find it grating how she pauses every 5 seconds or every other sentence in the video then acts surprised at what she just said is covered. Just watch the video and then give your thoughts on it after you've watched for a bit. There's no need to pause it every other second.

[@unknownguyindo4356]

@@Ragedaonenlonely It's a reaction video. Better than just saying "Wow/That's crazy!" with everything that happened in the video. If you want that, just watch the original video instead of watching the reactors.

[@Ragedaonenlonely]

@@unknownguyindo4356 Pausing every 5 seconds like that isn't reacting to the video. It's reacting to tiny snippets of it which just leads to you reiterating points that are already covered in the video instead of reacting to it as a whole. It's like only looking at half of a painting while critiquing art. You're not getting the full experience cutting it into pieces like that.

[@leritykay8911]

​@@Ragedaonenlonely No, it's more like going from top to bottom on a painting, looking over the details. It's better than just to see Mona Lisa for ten seconds and say "wow that's cool"

[@Ragedaonenlonely]

@@leritykay8911 It's like looking at the bottom part and going "nice painting, would be cool if she was smiling though" before looking up and realizing that yes, she in fact was. If you had just given it a second longer to get there first, thus making the whole comment void.

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

Oh my god, I've watched a couple of your reactions now and never knew you were battling cancer, my heart literally dropped when I heard that. Thanks for the reaction to the Engoodening of No Man's Sky, but most importantly I hope you get through and win and get better soon Alicia.

[@LovesickJo]

Alicia I'd like to say that what you said about journalism in the second half of the video was absolutely based (sorry for the zoomer vocabulary, but I really mean it and that's the best word I know to describe how correct you are)

[@amaryllian7853]

Once again, you manage to preempt so many of Internet Historian’s points with so much good commentary. I love it!

[@happyjohn354]

Man they had like 8 big updates since the internet historian video came out. They have combat mechs biological ships and all sorts of cool stuff now. You can now create your own town and build it up.

[@Tarknaal]

Hey Alicia! God has smiled on me today! Made it to the video 12 seconds after upload! Loving all of the uploads, KZbin and Patreon!

[@mrroboshadow]

12 seconds? bet your girfriend is screaming "new record!!" in all seriousness.....phrasing

[@TruckingShooter]

Your speaking about men being assaulted and abused earned a sub. No one really speaks about it. My fiance wrote a fictional book about the subject but sadly no one cares about that or if you're a guy who has gone though that you get laughed at. I know cause when i was a young teen i was sexually abused for a few years and 30 years later it still effects me, but no one really ever touches on it.

[@midnight4956]

Alicia’s going to have a lot of fun reacting to both Internet Historian and Maxor videos!

[@daviper1568]

I’ve had an uncle who unfortunately passed away from brain cancer, couple of months ago and I’m so happy you’re getting better.

[@aliciaxdeath]

Much love to you and your family

@@aliciaxdeath Thank you, keep on getting better.

[@Xarxes_]

I'm relatively new to your channel, didn't know who you were prior but I've come back over time and enjoy your vibe and just very sweet atmosphere you make in these videos. It broke my heart to hear that you're battling cancer, but I'm super happy to also hear that the treatment is working. I pray that it gets wiped out completely with no surgeries needed. God bless you, Alicia :)

[@princeofhalcyon]

Man i still get so emotional when watching this. put together so well. this legtimately changed my whole view on dev work and to not immediately go into the ''stupid lazy devs'' route. Like i never did before, but theres always a reason for things, not always the 1st negative thing you can imagine.

[@Nabekukka]

Amazing. First video, I became a fan just some 10 minutes into the video for the absolute vibes, after the video, I found an incredibly delightful happy bean to follow, I'm smashing and melee'ing the subscribe button and bell so hard right now. You made me a happy bean too.

[@aliciaxdeath]

Smashing and meleeing 👀 next you gonna cherry combo the like button homie? Haha thanks so much and welcome to the channel!!

[@Caladir]

So glad I found this channel, it's always amazing to see someone with experience reacting to gaming stories. Love your persona and please do keep it up!

[@laughingstock411]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Aliciax. There's 2 other Internet Historian videos that you might be interested in. The Fall of 76 & the Zone between Area 50 and 52. Internet Historian has another channel called Incognito Mode. Theres two videos called the Swedish Job & the Gentleman Pirate which are a retelling of events that happened but in his own way

[@alexanderjamesaustin]

So refreshing to have someone actually *in* the industry giving commentary to this situation. Also they literally just released another update earlier this week

[@aliawahfallacy]

Woohooo!!! im so glad youre continuing with his channel!

[@delekmaster3991]

Man, every time I see this video. I just can't help but cry. Anyways, great video! You can see the journey you have in your opinion of Sean as the story goes on. Have a nice day!

[@hmmmooops]

Watching the dramatic and emotional end was such a treat knowing that immidiately after you'd be subjected to the smut. Also watch Man in Cave

[@justafox0]

No Man's Sky is 7 years old and we still get good updates like every 4-6 months. Sean and his team just don't stop.

[@midwestbox]

I love the evolution of how Alicia reacted to the game throughout the video. Been a fan of the game since day one. Got my physical CE still. They've added so many updates since then and even since IH's video there's been tons of updates, my favorite being them adding the players ship from mass effect. I love this game and I'd love to watch you play it whether you do it live or not. Great reaction as always. ❤

[@shanevandenberg2357]

YES YES YES so happy your reacting to this.

[@bombomos]

The division on release (including the beta) was amazing cuz there was no meta or no game breaking gear combos yet. So everything was new and somewhat balanced. That multiplayer and getting a whole server together to hunt down one rogue team. It was beautiful

[@scotiej]

To answer your question about the Cyberpunk release. I'm a PC player and I played the game starting release day and there were a good number of bugs, but not enough to cause any serious gripes from me. The large majority of the issues were on the previous gen and next consoles where CDPR weren't able to fully finish the porting of the game to those platforms. For me, as a PC player, we were getting regular updates within weeks of release to fix major bugs and by the six month mark, it was a perfectly stable game I had played mulitple times. It wasn't until then CDPR started working steadily on the patches and updates for the consoles. In comparison, I also was a release day player of NMS and by the first week I was done playing it and got tired of it. At least until the new updates started releasing months later.

[@McBehrer]

btw, there have been SEVENTEEN updates to No Man's Sky since that video came out. After Synthesis, they released Living Ship, Exo Mech, Desolation, Origins, Next Generation, Companions, Expeditions, Prisms, Fronteirs, Sentinel, Outlaws, Endurance, Waypoint, the Nintendo Switch release, Fractal, Interceptor and the most recent update, Echoes, which came out just this past August. And the price of the game hasn't gone up.

[@crispy_338]

Just found your channel and I love this style of videos. You seem like a really genuine person and I really admire your openness and vulnerability. You've earned another long time sub 🤘

[@Vokoca]

I was randomly recommended your channel and this was the second video I've seen from you. I had no idea who was actually behind the avatar, so this video was very eye opening for me. That's terrible to hear what you had to go through and I am really glad that things are better! I really loved your insights and parallels with the video, I've seen the video itself before, but your commentary added so much that I watched this whole thing in one sitting. Looking forward to more of your react content, and the best of luck to you in the future!

[@thewinterprince1731]

As annoyed as I was by the long tangents you went on in this video, I still listened to all of it, and your opinions and respect for all those in the gaming community have earned my own respect, and thus, a subscription. :) Also, good luck with your cancer treatment! Glad to hear it's working out so far! I'll be praying that you are able to make a full recovery!

[@blueveil3277]

Someone probably already told you that, but your model is BEAUTIFUL. It looks like one of those very beautiful and expensive dolls from before 2010, and the way it captures the expressions is really good.

[@helloblocks.4310]

Man, I still remember one of the game awards, I believe it was 2020-2021? The Award was something like, "best online game that continues to update" or something about, there was Among us, Fortnite and massive games that update constantly, then, there was No Man's Sky Next. Sean Murray was on a call on the event as it wasn't on stage, with the others Devs for the games nominated. They pan out of the Dev's views, to announce the winner. Sean gets out a beer and starts drinking, at that moment in time No Man's Sky was barely on it's comeback. 'Next' Wins. Over all the others. You can see the actual surprise on the dude's face as he lays down the beer from his mouth. For me, I really still think about that moment. I think at some point he nearly cried but I can remember it for sure. Should really watch that again, it was pretty nice

[@JiReyAnimation]

I don't really know, but I suspect NMS being full price (with the occasional sale) is what helps the 26 devs in that studio to keep releasing new updates for free and with zero microtransactions, while also being able to fund their other projects, like The Last Campfire and an untitled big project Murray said they are working on.

[@apollohateshisdayjob9606]

Just started the video and as you mention being in on the day one hype, disappointment, and seeing just him doing the interviews and wondering if it's vanity.. This is going to be a wonderful journey to watch you go on! ❤

Then you find out it's not as malicious as it seemed.

This is Internet Historians greatest work IMO, the first half is working the viewer up into an angry frenzy and then showing the context and very human story in the second, making us reconcile between indignant rage and dogged inspiration.

This was great. Especially given that you were so informed on the industry which I didn't know. You were basically the perfect audience for this knowing just enough about video games but not the specifics of this game. Since you asked for more video recs here are some of stuff I think is entertaining and you might like You already know about Max0r and Internet Historaian but I still recommend the HWNDU series from Internet Historian and the Elden Ring review(s) from Max0r. JonTron. Does videos about everything kinda. His Flextape videos are probably the best starting point SsethTzeentach. Does very niche video game reviews in an entertaining way. His Space Station 13 review is great.

[@GuukanKitsune]

No Man's Sky is an example of 'When you hit rock bottom, there's only ONE place left to go." They were essentially MADE liars. But instead of giving up and just walking away, they buckled down, and proceeded to make their 'lies' TRUE, because Hello Games was BETTER than that.
