After one week I said fuck it. Yes there is a ton of exploration, yes there are spaceships, but the whole thing is just slow, confusing and boring. Hell, if I want to play "Life", I can just go outside.

The tons of exploration you're talking about are copy-pasted identical POIs, too, with the same enemies and objects in the same locations.

I honestly don't understand what they expected us to be doing for the hundreds of hours and years they they hoped we'd be playing the game for. It's certainly the most "ocean wide, inch deep" game for what it was marketed to be.

whoa now, don’t take away Elite:Dangerous one claim to fame. They have an entire milky way of procedurally generated planets with no POIs!

I want to disagree, but you're right. Elite Dangerous really nailed the emptiness of space lol

I love that game to death and you're so right, a galaxy wide, an inch deep.
