The problem when you create so much "hype" is that you cause an overexcitement among users who have not been in this video game for many years. What happens is that as everything is not perfect, a disagreement begins to be created, despite the fact that the game complies with what is specified. However, then there is the extreme case, that of No Man's Sky, This game not only created monumental expectations that it seems to have not met, but it is also practically impossible to play for the vast majority of PC users despite having more than decent hardware. Meanwhile, the PC community burns due to poor optimization of No Man's Sky.
This is what has caused the fury of PC users who acquired No Man's Sky at its launch. The community is fuming, the game keeps crashing for no apparent reason. On the other hand, console users are not putting it exactly through the roof either, they call the game repetitive and less innovative than it seemed, and it is that the mass media have contributed to sell No Man's Sky as if it were a Pokémon Go, and no, this video game is not created for the general public, it is a revealing and creative work, yes, but the bulk of the players on PS4 is made up of «casuals», and similar complexity has been found in No Man's Sky that doesn't make it fun.
Let's continue with the PC, the development team already warned that the game had problems and would require a patch, however, despite this, they continued to promote reservations left and right. The framerate is inconsistent, it drops often, and that's if you've been lucky enough to start the game. Not bad, especially if we take into account that the PC community has paid for this game a price they are not used to, approximately sixty euros. Meanwhile, the bad scores. Only GTA IV caused such discontent in the PC community that we remember.
Well, my PC is doing quite well and I have a somewhat old laptop ...
These things happen when someone is carried away by the tastes and desires of others (in this case, video game journalists - I can't think of another way to call them now).
Solution? Simple. When a game is generating a lot of hype, let it go and read the comments / notes in the first days after its launch.
I totally agree, in the age of communications, it's hard to risk booking a game when two days later you're going to have a lot of gameplays and real reviews to compare.

The game is fine, it is entertaining, it is nothing to write home about, something like a space spore. All games tend to have problems at the beginning and require a patch, but in this case the price is too high for the type of product, especially for a game that is practically a single player. Because you never come across another player.
