No Man's Sky: DID IT FAIL? - Dude Soup Podcast #83

[@BasedGod42069]

Spoole knew it would be trash and you killed him for it. RIP

[@macelioteixeira1461]

RIP my baby boy

[@Ellie_deMayo]

Spoole died for his belief. A Martyr!

[@al3p100]

He still alive in our hearts

[@TheRealMarcgi]

you switched the samples!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NotAGrabbaghoul]

Spooleboy Forever!

[@MeesterMan00]

Lawrence, why did you lie? Sean Murray did say, when asked on multiple occasions, that you would be able to play with your friends. Now the rest of Funhaus sound like fools during the podcast for being misinformed. Spoole was right!

[@goonsquad_official]

I don't think he lied, he just didn't know everything.

[@skyblue2708]

No, he said it's possible to see other players. Hoping for a journey like multiplayer experience. What we have is 1 example proving it might not be the case and people data mining and not finding anything multiplayer related. These guys are right, the vague nature of the gaming industry and this release in particular generates/generated so much hype based on speculation that the game just couldn't deliver. Now we have people saying "it didn't deliver what it promised" when all they really promised was a procedurally generated galaxy/universe to explore and discover, and that's exactly what we got.

[@goonsquad_official]

Sky blue There is video of interviews Murray made where he said specifically that you can play with people, team up with them, grief other players if you wanted to, and so on and so forth. As the release date came closer, he began to back track on his statements by saying things like, "It is very unlikely that you will come across another player just based on the shear size of the universe/galaxy, but it may still happen." It kept on going on until he finally came out and said that No Man's Sky is not a MP game with the chances being nearly 0% of ever meeting someone else. Including the fact that they covered the game with stickers in order to block the MP logo to show the game includes this function. Essentially, all of this combined makes it look like a cover-up. Do I think people should be this outraged over this game? Not really, but I can understand why they are mad. Also, I'm not even including all the issues like crashing, little to no variety in terms of gameplay objectives, the price tag, the amount of unnecessary hype the game got, and many other issues. The ones I mentioned were the main ones.

[@skyblue2708]

wubba lubba Mentioning things they would like to add from what, interviews they did years ago? That's not how it works. Saying you'd like to do something or saying it will be in the game when that was the intention only to realise that they couldn't add it in isn't lying. Hell it wasn't even making a promise. I'm not in disagreement that the game was over hyped, it was but saying "WE WERE ALL LIED TO GAME DEVS ARE EVIL" based on shit said years ago is just bullshit. The only thing I would flat out say was a "lie" would be the multiplayer but as I've already stated, even that was vague and a huge point of contention amongst the people looking forward to the game. Seriously show me 1 game that has every feature the devs "promised" or stated they would like to add. As for the trailer, that's marketing. Flying in wings was never promised it was just seen in a trailer then boom, speculation. That's as simple as programming a flight path and following them, doesnt mean shit.

[@llamashockz]

The lack of information is kinda boring, its making the podcast not that fun to listen to. Another example is the csgo lotto episode.

[@kittehpowerx3]

Every time Bruce isn't in a video I get sad... His laughter is like drugs. Pleasing and addicting

[@tacticalseven3587]

I know... it's okay to cry. 😢

[@XavianBrightly]

what do you mean he's right next to Elyse. BTW did he get a tan he looks darker than usual.

[@tacticalseven3587]

Xavian Brightly lol

[@tacticalseven3587]

***** Yeah his final form is just a fart cloud.

[@BruceGreene]

This comment made my day better.

[@Geos-GG]

Please be informed next time. It's mind boggling how people are denying the dev ever said anything about multiplayer when he clearly did.

[@BruceGreene]

Can you link me to this? I would be eternally grateful.

[@Pointblankmos]

+Bruce Greene It was said during Sean Murray's interview with Stephen Colbert. Stephen asked if you could see yourself, and Sean replied by saying the only way you could see your appearance was by encountering another player (or something along those lines).

[@ClazziquaiR]

+Bruce Greene www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/4y1h9i/wheres_the_no_mans_sky_we_were_sold_on_a_big_list/

[@ClazziquaiR]

+Bruce Greene there's also a Crowbcat video about the subject (featuring u guys as well)

[@ladydominion8632]

+Pointblankmos if you had actually researched the game thoroughly, you'd know that Sean Murray said that the computer was very selective so you sometimes see characters and sometimes not. Also, the interview was a long time before release so they may have cut it.

Spoole was right about No Man's Sky - was he also right about $1, one hour?

[@NICKOLSandDIMES]

If he was right, he would have fallen into debt in the first place...

[@penguinpal6]

Spoole shoulda been a guest star on this episode

[@JamBear]

Andy Ham Alright, let's resurrect him

[@Waffles_Syrup]

I always thought that Spoole's point of $1 dollar 1 hour was that, no matter what you thought of the game, if the amount of time played was equal or greater to the amount you paid, than it was a worthwhile investment.

[@JamBear]

Waffles Syrup I think it's more of a loose metric than a strict rule. It's a way of gauging how far you can stretch your entertainment budget. Obviously it's a waste if you dump 20 hours into a game you hate, even if it was cheap. If you're not entertained the whole thing falls apart.

[@pluto1320]

They still manage to not do research about a topic they dedicate an hour long podcast for.

[@GeorgeSweet]

I was in Lawrence's streams when he was playing NMS, he had his mind made up of what it was pretty much when he was playing it lol. He doesn't like open world games in general though.

[@ari_____]

They admit they dont know much about No Mans Sky (besides Lawrence). Then they continue to make assumptions about the game and developer while ridiculing people who had expectations of the game and felt let down because the fans made too many assumptions. That being said, this podcast is good in taking one point and expanding upon it. While I wasn't that interested in them talking about No Mans Sky (admittedly because I dont play it), they transitioned into talking about early access games, false promises, and marketing the specifics of a game vs. making your marketing vague and letting people make assumptions.

[@hAvan4LyFe]

Exactly! The developers lied and misled the fans, and it's somehow the fans' fault that they were overhyped? How the fuck does that make sense?

[@twentylush]

+HpGintoki didnt expect a gintama fan in the wild

[@NavySEAL11]

What'd they lie about?

[@TheForever206]

sean Murray said in multiple interviews that the game would have a multiplayer component.

[@BruceGreene]

Can you link me to it?

[@tommyswenumson1739]

Brucie and Lawrence waging war in the comments section again. I feel bad for you guys getting so much negativity in these past few weeks. Don't let them get you down.

[@llamashockz]

/watch?v=AE0nuW-mQ8A&ab_channel=CrowbCat he also has another no mans sky video, good stuff

[@KingGamezZz]

he also said that most likely NOBODY would ever find each other, that means that chance that YOU would find someone is practically nothing. u lost absolutely nothing from the game being single player.

[@kr00m]

Funny, Nerd Alert just posted a vid claiming that there is multiplayer but the server issues prevented it. I wonder where they got that impression…

[@DozifJuggles]

Elyse's husband is pretty funny, I hope they have him on Funhaus more.

[@MrInternetMan]

He was but his internship ended.

[@deep_fried_analysis]

"Human beings are eternally hopeful while also being eternally pessimistic" -James Willems 2016

[@stringstorm]

He should've added "But Developer is not at fault here. The Developer cannot be at fault ever because reasons."

[@McBubbleslvl900]

+StringStorm ‌ How is the developer at fault? I'm genuinely curious.

[@stringstorm]

I could write an entire 20 page essay detailing this but TB's video about the matter summed it up perfectly. While Funhaus is too busy blaming the consumer for the bugs, glitches, crashes, and bad reception, they treat the developer as a sacrosanct who can do no wrong. Who is exempt from all the evil that game development can inflict upon a man.

[@LITTLEFOOT918]

+StringStorm ‌ Didn't funhaus day that there isn't really anyone at fault here...

[@bendover7389]

+StringStorm ‌they aren't pro developer they are anti biased they won't always agree with people's angry shouting over a game because the company that made it is big

[@ChrisBowman4864]

You should give Omar a microphone. i know he's gotta run the stream and everything but he chimes in every once in a while on these podcasts and it would be cool to hear his input.

[@MarkDobbs697]

[@SirLarr]

Believe me I'd love to hear him too. The biggest problem is that he's in an audio room that has a monitor, so if we gave him a mic, there'd be terrible feedback.

[@cittycarloso]

On multiplayer: Sean Murray was quoted as saying you could run into other players and have ship battles with them. It was in TotalBiscuit's video on No Man's Sky hype.

[@TheRitva26]

wait james is elyse's husband? i though they're brother and sister

[@GONZOMAF]

Nope married

[@mlacey2000]

They are brother and sister but most of the comments joke around saying they are married.

[@TheRitva26]

at first i thought they're married, then i saw a comment and figured out they're brother and sister. When i heard james say it i started to question it again. Now i don't know what to think, half of the people are saying bro and sis and other half say they're married, who am i supposed to believe!?

[@RhysClark97]

they are married, aint no sibling sexual tension here, this isnt inside gaming anymore

[@joedalydeadbeat]

minecraft was a 20 buck game in beta , its 60 bucks for no mans sky for what is a shell of what they promised. the only thing that will save no mans sky at this point will be a very big modding community.

[@joedalydeadbeat]

it has started allready ... leave it to the players to fix the game (again) www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-mods/

[@connorhandforth5191]

+joe daly Its a terrible industry really when an unpaid modder can fix a game and the "devs" of NMS can't be bothered to even release the game on PC in a working condition.

[@KingGamezZz]

a shell of a game? he said that chances are that nobody will find each other. that's the only real promise he broke and it's not even something that is probable to happen to u. it's probably about 20 min less of play time? it's not like it's even a big part of the game.

[@joedalydeadbeat]

***** i dont even care about multiplayer. im a student of games design and have been looking forward to this game for a while but even the aesthetics of the game witch are meant to be based on classic sci-fi books covers are a big let down compared to promotional videos shown at E3. narratively speaking there is no progression in the story really . their is nothing to keep the players wanting to keep playing . once you have seen the first star system you pretty much have seen them all. to say nothing about haveing to patch it twice at this point and each time it reset my game save. its just bad design .

[@kevint2995]

Hate to say it but there was a lot of stuff Sean Murray said would be in the game but isn't. I'll post this again: www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/4y1h9i/wheres_the_no_mans_sky_we_were_sold_on_a_big_list/

[@amythompson3798]

I adore the concept of No Man's Sky and think the developers should be proud of the game but after a while it just gets repetitive, it essentially becomes the same thing with different backgrounds. Although people are into that, I don't think the majority are & that's why there's a lot of disappointment surrounding the game.

[@brendoboy52]

Holy shit, that's mighty reasonable of you! Nice to read that in a sea of outrage.

[@NinjaPups]

I completely agree. The idea of it fascinated me to no end when it was first announced, but I knew they just didn't have the money or spend the time to make the idea come to life. Sometimes ya gotta set your bar low when it comes to games like this.

[@sweetbrothanunci]

developers are just aware how short of attention span we all have nowadays especially with how many games come out so the new business model is to release the game without all the content so they can "update" the game every few months which brings it back in the conversation and prolongs it's shelf life.

[@sweetbrothanunci]

IDIOTS!! /s

[@jebwatson]

That's actually a really interesting theory you have there. Makes a lot of sense.

[@night4345]

Except it's shown over and over again that gamers do have long enough attention spans to find all the bullshit developers put in their games.

[@atheoang3l0_old44]

Not really "new". Mojang's been doing this with Minecraft since 2011. Latest update was released a month ago. After almost every update, I found old players going back to it, articles/videos being made about it, and more newbies hopping on the MC wagon, so it works (to some extent). They promised numerous features since Alpha, and not all were implemented before 1.0. In fact, a _lot_ of them weren't yet. There's a whole list of these "mentioned features" in the MC Wiki.

[@Le_Snail]

You guys rock - the reason why I watch your podcast over others is because of the natural flow and how respectful you all are to devs/publishers/etc. You're experts in your field - keep up the great content.

[@TheHarsha9999]

SPOOLE guessed right ! This game is TRASH !!!

[@ROBBIEDZ]

Why don't they do a little bit of research about a topic before talking about it? Sean Murray has said there would be multiplayer. There are hundreds of videos out there of people putting together Sean Murray interviews where he says there would be multiplayer.

[@LITTLEFOOT918]

does the end result matter of they did research?

[@ROBBIEDZ]

Yes. If Funhaus did their research they'd stop blaming gamers and show their viewers that Sean Murray is really the one that misled people. In this podcast, they say the gamers had too many expectations, implying that Sean Murray never said all the things he said would be in the game. If they don't tell the truth (with proper research) people will keep giving Sean Murray money.

[@LITTLEFOOT918]

+RoBtheAuthentic That's why they say repeatedly, I'm sure from Adam, that you do your own research and come to your own conclusion. They're not wrong in saying the game was hyped and marketed in a misleading manner. The game was leaked, it needed a day 1 patch, it's not a complete game. From what was shown and given, what were people honestly expecting? Also note that right in the beginning of the show, they were misinformed with the slight exception of Lawrence. they're giving more insight to "hype" in triple A game titles. and they're not entirely wrong in that.

[@BruceGreene]

Can you link me to that stuff? I'm trying to find it now.

[@mainmasterman]

I'd look but I'm on mobile and not even sure if it exists.

[@Aquatoy]

I Like all of your podcasts. I like just sitting down and listening to your conversation. I watch every one. I usually throw my own opinion out there in response to you guys. Thank you for an hour of entertainment. Almost 1 Million!!!!!!

[@ehoffart529]

Spoole was right. I knew this would pull a Spore. Not saying I wouldn't like No Man's Sky but they promised too much

[@BobaDavis]

I'm confused... The game's promoter said, "Due to the size of the game, it's highly unlikely that you would meet anyone". This is suggesting that it is not impossible. This is not a play on words, but a flat lie.

[@rudelechture740]

Looking at some of these comments I love how catty funhaus gets when their audience calls them out. Were not trying to just shit on you for no reason. Look at the latest Minecraft episode ah just put out, it was super lack luster and overall boring and got a ton od dislikes, not just because people are jumping on the hate wagon, but because people care about the content. Dude soup in the past has been one of the most intelligent pop culture podcasts currently on the internet because u guys have experience and know the news. Becauss YOU were the ones who set that standard its not fair to call out the audience and be ignorant about fair criticism.

[@benpadovano9571]

Just sayin', if you put "didn't meet my expectations" in your written review, you're a "blogger", not a "critic".

[@ZeroKitsunei]

I love the fun house crew, but I wish they would do a little more research before the podcasts. Cause there is a super long list about what was promised for NMS and what was missing from it at launch. A lot of stuff they said "oh they never promised this" was stuff they said would be in the game.

[@kevinthayer9867]

Adam there is one problem with your advice about people being realistic, that would imply maturity. I don't think that the gaming community has quite hit maturity yet, but we always have hope I guess.

[@KingGamezZz]

[@leviharris-hale6578]

+Jack Martin the fact that you think a profile picture of someone's favorite game affects your maturity shows how immature you are

cuz Bruce wasn't there. Bruce Greene is the life of the party and w/o there just a bunch of nerdy nerds lol

[@bigpapadadynoah]

yeah because he did say there was online there wrong go watch the interview funhaus ive watch every video you ever posted on thischannel and this video was the most disappointing i wish you saw the interview then you talked about it

[@deadpenitence]

It's so weird listening to people like Jim Sterling and Total Biscuit talk about how three to four parties contributed to the overall disaster that was No Man's Sky's release, and how they looked at all the evidence that was presented. And then I watch these guys just sitting on a couch with no clue about the game going, "yeah, it's the consumer's fault for being such gullible sheep."

[@BurntFaceMan]

So a guy made a fun game and people started going "holy cow imagine if you can do..." and then suddenly it was believed that you can do xyz in the game. it's a fun game, and like minecraft, its just a thing, if people start modding it they can add all the bs they wanted in the game. but for now its just a fun, mindless exploring game. with cool visuals.

[@carlosdanger9981]

So the dev joked on multiple occasions about seeing other players when the context was serious? Keep lying to yourself.

[@kammyboy15]

honestly never been into the whole podcast thing but for whatever reason i love listening/watching you guys. Just as much as your other videos. thanks, the friend simulator comment is very accurate.

[@masterskyrunner]

Its cool if you like it. People are just disappointed that the developers said things in past tense that were obviously never even planned for the game. "When he desired the possibility of green skies, the team had to redesign the periodic table to create atmospheric particles that would diffract light at just the right wavelength." - Sean Murray What? He says that like it already happened but that would literally require scrapping the whole engine they have and building another from the ground up.

[@halosheepftw]

The game is really cool. You just have to, as they said, appreciate it for what it is.

[@tiacarter6819]

It doesn't matter what else I try to watch, I always end up watching another one of your videos a few minutes later. I love you guys keep it up 💗.

[@jackorourke1684]

Theres probably tones of comments saying the same thing but... DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!! Its really annoying to listen to people who are uninformed an almost all of your topics.

[@DoDerTwist]

Maybe you should start a podcast man... You can spread your wealth of information to others.

[@jackorourke1684]

DoDerTwist Well i think it would just take a simple google search to grab all the information i need on a certain topic. I just need a few condenser mics and room with good acoustics.

[@DoDerTwist]

Don't forget a likable personality.

[@jackorourke1684]

DoDerTwist Likewise

[@NinjaPups]

Get ready to start talking about Destiny again when ROI drops haha xD

[@dragoniukas]

James says that he's Elyse's husband too often. It's like he reads these comments and sees people saying that she's his sister and thinks that he has to point out the obvious. It's cringy.

[@corporalcallosum2222]

People that cringe are socially awkward themselves. It really isn't cringe to make, some, fans aware at all. The overuse of the joke isn't cringy either, just unoriginal lol.

[@dragoniukas]

CorporalCallosum your grammar is cringe though

[@corporalcallosum2222]

+Prideless What's wrong with my grammar? Apart from the clause which was wrong, but I don't think anyone actually cares about that on the FH comments section lmao.

[@dragoniukas]

CorporalCallosum Exactly, nobody should care about anything in the comments section, because this is called internet. But if you really want to know what's wrong with your grammar, check where you put your commas

[@corporalcallosum2222]

+Prideless *the Internet =\ The Internet's most frequently about voicing your opinion, right? Which is what I did (~_^)

[@STCburner]

my favorite part of any Wednesday is the dude soup podcast.

[@thegoldencaulk2742]

Why do the titles for these always read like a clickbait article?

[@Beyondfreshken]

Because they are

[@darknyx9876]

It attracts more people

[@Hegataro]

It's on purpose. Both to ridicule clickbait and also to be clickbait.

[@corporalcallosum2222]

+Hegataro How meta can you get?

[@thegoldencaulk2742]

Hegataro Is it intentional by Funhaus or is that your made up excuse for it?

[@headmd]

Since Omar actually had some opinions on this subject, why wasn't he sitting on the couch instead of Adam or James, which couldn't care less?

[@TheKillboy1000]

4chan account. wow, you are good at journalisms Elyse. make sure you go and buy the gold subscription to autismnet.

[@ElyseWillems]

I live in a blissful unawareness of the actual operations and properties of 4chan.

[@lastwolflord]

Anybody living in the real world shares that same bliss. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[@sabertoothray]

16:45 whaa? people get "Toxic" when those with a (fairly)large audience present woefully inaccurate information, about games that the toxic are passionate and much more better informed about, that's sometimes years old? Gee how dare they!

[@3percentdelay]

They should of resurrected spoole for this podcast :(

[@CaZaCable]

LAWRENCE WITH THE HIGH TOPS & SHORTS COMBO. Who doesn't love a man with good calves?

[@IceColdNed]

Look, Funhaus gang, we need to talk about this whole "flying by the seat of our pants and not checking our facts" shtick you've been doing on this show recently. I get that you guys are busy people and have to get these done on a schedule, but hell, have one of the interns do a bunch of research for you beforehand and at least get some better talking points. A lot of factually incorrect stuff doesn't really make for an enjoyable podcast to listen to, because I don't get to hear your actual informed opinions on the matter. Like the podcast about CS:GO lotto, this is starting to seem like you guys don't really care that much, and if that's the case, then why bother making it? Why not just talk about something else?

[@JarritoTrash]

rhn94 You're right because wanting good factual researched discussions is trivial and whining.

[@statiq1941]

+Edgar Saenz It is.

[@DaemonicSavior]

Holy shit, have you even watch anything funhaus has ever made? Clearly, research takes a back seat to their opinion. Their channel is more entertainment value instead of informational and full of intelligent conversation. That's the point.

[@TheTinyTimmyTimTim]

DaemonicSavior these hour long podcasts aren't designed to be comedy shows. They're podcasts. And research taking a backseat to opinion is incredibly stupid and worthy of criticsm. Just because it's the "point", it doesn't make it any less annoying to watch.

[@DaemonicSavior]

I love this perfect mold you've created that a podcast must conform to. There is no "design" pal. It's an absolute romp of opinions. That is what all of there content is. Are you just now realizing this or are you dense? If you don't like it. Then get the fuck out or don't watch? Are you really that offended by this that it's necessary to act this childish.

[@danielschindler2785]

Classical Archaeologist here. Your analysis of The Odyssey is, more or less, spot on. Did you guys read the Odyssey, or anything else, in High School? College? I'd really like to know and can recommend some awesome companion analyses. Unrelated, I love the channel. You guys are my comedy refuge when I need a break from article and excavation report writing, and applying for all the grants.

[@TeddyPicker191]

Hey let's talk about a game THAT ONLY ONE OF US HAS PLAYED!☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@TeddyPicker191]

Great job funhaus.

[@TheBeaverCommentator]

To be fair they did make the disclaimer that they were going to be making unknowledgable opinions. They weren't acting like they knew everything about the game, they were just basing their thoughts off of lawrence's opinion and what they experienced from trailers and such.

[@Naara.]

I just fucking love the whole Funhaust team no matter what they talk about what they do/play/talk about

[@jonbenge2383]

INB4 no comment show this week.

[@CarpetStains21]

Hey Funhaus, Great podcast! I really enjoyed this episode. I found this the most consistently thought provoking and entertaining episode you guys have released in recent memory. I prefer your movie discussions when they are more of a segment to your podcasts, instead of being the main topic. Keep up the good work! I never expected No Man's Sky to be anything other than what was ultimately released. I'm having fun with it. I play for 1 - 3 hrs a session, but not everyday.

[@Hostilenemy]

Why is Lawrence in his underwear?

[@Largentina.]

Because boners. Does that answer your question?

[@TheW4rheart]

Why not( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ?

[@CubiStudios]

They get sponsored by that underwear company all the time.

[@Largentina.]

+Cubi Studios No, they got sponsored by a boner company and he has to always have a boner now. So now he only wears shorts cause boners in pants suck.

[@Its_saulbreh]

Something about the condescending tone when you guys try to explain how people are idiots because they think their options are gods gift to earth really touches my Angeleno soul. Truly inspirational.

[@FishoD]

First time I stopped watching a podcast. Guy at least do minimal research before discussing a topic. No it wasnt about hype. No it wasnt about people having dreams. It was about years and years of promised features that are not in the game. Straight up lies.

[@sylvrwolflol]

I don't know about you guys, but I love No Man's Sky.

[@supersonic956]

You guys are very ignorant on this subject. Please do research before you make in-depth discussions about something as it is painful to listen to people who have almost no idea what they are talking about.

[@randinho8872]

The look on Elyse's face during Lawrence's segwey screamed sheer awe! you could literally see her brain thinking "Lawrence, you genius!!!"

[@dani4ever]

How can you guys do a podcast when more than half of the panel are completely uninformed about the theme? This comes off (even more than usual) as Lawrence talking from experience and Adam is that guy complaining and counter-arguing when he has no idea of what he's talking about. Always taking the side of ''the audience is dumb'' It's hard to comment on this shows, I don't want to leave a thousand comments so I rather just edit. I agree with what James is saying about not being a Good or Evil case, but just because there's shades of grey doesn't mean one can't incline to the other side. ''Does the guy look like a money-grabing villain?'' Well does he look like a hero? Like anyone else I'm just guessing based on the info we were provived for this past months. And we can't ignore the fact that this game was presented on a TV talk-show. Anyone knows how that happened? Sure the guy is no villain because he didn't flatout lie, but it's kind of clear that he knew what he was letting people think. Call it good marketing... It sure was... but in my opinion that just helps the 'he's evil' argument.

[@sirrichel9155]

There is 2 reasons NMS is getting such bad reviews. 1. People went in with unrealistic expectations 2. People want to fit in so they are saying what everyone else is saying.

[@danielboyas7645]

Third reason the game is very underwhelming and people were lied to.

[@YourDrunkStepDad]

+Daniel Boyas It's exactly what I wanted. And I got my worth of $60 out of it. So just because you think that, doesn't make it so.

[@stringstorm]

Fourth reason is that the Dev promised alot of content, contributing to that Hype but eventually releasing pretty much most of the content he spoke off not in the final release.

[@ezmkmone53]

3. it's actually shitty

[@stringstorm]

"you actually think that" We don't assume based on what we think because we actually know that he lied, promising a full pledged game with everything he said in the interviews to be in it. Only to come out as a walking simulator.

[@ThexDarkVisionsx]

Just wanted to drop some positive vibes your way and say everyone at Funhaus is amazing, even the people off screen. I've been watching Funhaus for a long time and felt I needed to say this. Keep up the good work and rock on! 👍

[@Snowjob109]

You guys really screwed the pooch with this one.

[@Eitans88]

I really didn't believed spoole. How wrong was I

[@purposly]

It is so amazing how un-informed you guys are time and time again. Sean Murry explicitly stated that you would be able to meet other players in the game in multiple interviews and talk shows. How can you be so ignorant on the matter and then try and do an entire podcast on it? It's like doing a podcast on World War 2 and not even knowing why the German's are perceived as the bad guys.

[@kevint2995]

I think this was recorded at least yesterday and a lot of these recently revelations about No Man's Sky have occurred in the past 24hrs. I just don't think they knew about it.

[@evan4138]

In the beginning, they specifically said that Lawrence was the only one to have played the game so almost all of what they were going to say was going to be uninformed. They're giving their view, the view of what people see from the outside, those people that know very little about the game and haven't been following news related to No Man's Sky. For not having played the game and not really been paying attention to news for the game, I think they did quite a good job talking about No Man's Sky.

[@shmaxyYT]

this wasnt filmed today

[@Dadodaw]

Whenever the internet is justly hating on something in the gaming industry, you can always count on FunHaus to defend it.

[@idontgiveacare9211]

And so, 42 episodes later, the men of Funhaus faced the cold truth preached by our savior spool. They then realized the error of their ways that fateful night at the comedy club when the 'crucified' our messiah. May his memory and message of truth live on through the eons.

[@thedurtylemur2282]

James actually comes through as the voice of reason this time. I'm impressed.

[@distantignition]

I hadn't even seen promotional media for No Man's Sky but I still found this conversation really interesting. Funhaus just has such great dynamics with one another that unique points of view spring up constantly. Also, just the right amount of sex jokes.

[@PrincessHarmonyMoonlight]

I can save everyone an hour of watching this video by just answering the question, no man's sky: did it fail? yes, yes it did.

[@ifonlyicouldstop]

Totalbiscuit did a great job revealing the origins of all the hype surrounding No man's sky.

[@Kirkyeehee]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that liked Skyward Sword. Ever since I was a kid I wanted a Zelda game that you could swing your sword around, and that game made my childhood dream of that come true.

[@atthelord]

James looking buffer than usual, looks like the workout is doing you good!

[@eliteirl537]

Talked about this myself a few days ago. Reflects a lot of thoughts. People should have seen this coming

[@Michaelfarport]

Sean Murray was to No Mans Sky as Peter Molyneux was to [insert any Molyneux project here] If a person buys into unfounded hype and lets their imagine fill in the blanks they'll probably end up having a bad time.

[@xxVincentHuffxxx]

It wasn't just the hype train going awry. It was Sean Murray promising and showing so much with the game that never made it into the final product. We never saw desert planets from worlds to close to the sun, having other people tell you how your character looks, factions, large space battles, and the list goes on for days from what Sean Murray showed us in gameplay videos and telling is out right will be in the game. Again yes there is no way No Man's Sky could live up to the hype it has been made up to, but still so much of the game shown and promised is just nonexistent.

[@74mikepatton]

I've watched you guys for many years. Halfway through IG and the Entire FH transition I was here. There has been a few loses and additions, but the remaining few continue to go strong. Bruce: The king of farts James: The king of sarcasm Adam: The king of hiding his real emotions Lawrence: The King of Wisdom Elyse: The King of impersonations pe/\ke: ......nuff said But long story short. It's sad to know that in reality, good things never last forever. So until that time comes, keep up the amazing content. Continue to do what you guys love doing and putting smiles on hundreds of thousands of peoples faces every day. I Love Funhaus!!!!
