because you're the only one being overly pessimistic to the point where you're talking down at people who preordered the game.

some people are overhyping and overdefending the game, and I'm not one of them. I'm basing my OPINION (don't confuse what I mean when I say opinion) on what we've seen, and I love the game. You simply don't. There isn't enough content for you to enjoy the game (from what we've seen in the content).

Read again these "arguments" made by people trying to hype the game up:
"They don't have a marketing team, what do you expect?"
"the game has a much wider scope than some people give it credit for"
"don't you guys understand something called "they didnt show you everything?""
"they wont make another dlc's because they already have enough money"
"the devs didn't show you everything so you can get bored so fast.."
"Lets also not forget they haven't even really shown any sort of trailer for the combat"
"lets make a comparison between a space game made by HG and a space game made by ubisoft/rockstar/EA etc.."
"I know its going to be good(not deluding myself)"
Apart from the top comment (which isn't even relevant, you said you were disappointed in the marketing and I explained why its probably not very good) and the one that is outdated (they've now got a combat trailer which you can base your OPINIONS on) none of these are from me, and I'm not going to defend them.

The difference is I'm judging it based on that information, I'm not pretending that I have access to a crystal ball or "secret info". If you and others were doing the same you wouldn't make statements like those above(?).
read my 2nd response. As for the bolded statement, you're once again assuming me and anyone else in this thread are together. We're not.

Anyone who has followed the gaming scene for some length of time will know this pattern well, and know the way to kill the cancer is to remind people not to buy sight unseen and not to spread baseless rumours and speculation as if they are facts.
People are going to overhype games until games no longer exist.
Please read this I posted earlier:

Some of those who are excited will inevitably be disappointed because they've chosen to believe the game is more than the devs have ever said it would be, and (if it turns out well) some of the naysayers may find that it's deeper than they expected. I know it's just the nature of the internet, but what is with the rage and insults over different opinions? It seems especially severe with this title and it's just weird. Those interested are not brainwashed sheeple, and those not interested are not mindless COD fanboys. I'm personally really looking forward to it, with expectations firmly in check, and I hope it delivers
I'm not trying to be aggressive, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm not trying to defend people who are hyping the game, but you really need to tone the pessimism down, it really is pointless. People who are fantasizing the game to their liking will simply be disappointed (unless by some miracle it really IS going to be
that good)
