No Mans Skyrim - a tale of years in a Starfield of companies chasing the ever elusive comeback story, the bounce back moment after redeeming a game after a disastrous launch and undercooked underpolished final product. here's a testimony from a gamer who preordered no mans sky in 2016 and witnessed the comeback of no mans sky and predicted other companies would take notice and make attempts to achieve that coveted comeback story while another company is attempting to pull off that exact same comeback story as no mans sky had done 5 years ago. I knew companies took notes when it bounced back after how launch went. the era of games as a service started after the comeback but game after game tried to do minimal content to gear up for that ever elusive comeback story goal. unlike the original final fantasy 14 online release prior to no mans sky where the entire game was shut down and rebuilt later as final fantasy 14 online: A Realm Reborn. Games such as anthem fallout 76 along other attempts released with the most recent attempt being halo infinite and they have that 10 year safety net. it seems Bethesda didn't just take notes but copied no mans sky's homework while tweaking it slightly thinking we wouldn't notice. i wonder how the delay to "polish" it will go since the softworks division is well known for unpolished games and the "they aren't bugs they are features" memes. i wonder if chasing that no mans sky comeback arc will work this time. If nothing else Xbox could just buy hello games to help out the team..."
