Not instant, cuz I bought it long before playing it, but I was one of the dumbasses who preordered No Man's Sky.

After hours of "maybe this is just a dud planet" I finally accepted that 90% of what they advertised was a massive and very deliberate lie.

They've come a long way to make it right since then, but that doesn't excuse their initial deception.

Lesson learned: do not pre-order, ever. Wait for at least a month or so post-release and make a purchasing decision based on reviews.
