I count how many hours i wait for the next battle then after that, i count how many times i warp but it hasn’t been 5 warps yet and it already appears like 2 or 3 jumps, That means i sometimes land on either poor or balanced economies.

I think i am just about done with this game, it was an absolutely glorious game, from start to finish. It made me feel like playing minecraft for the first time ever. From waking up on a planet with a broken ship, to walking around with 500+mil units full s-class ship, tool and freighter. The music, exploration, combat, story, mechanics, graphics and much more are just 10/10. Every moment from finally understanding a language to learning that artemis is dead or the universe is a simulation, all of these moments made me sit back and wonder, how i couldve avoided this masterpiece.

For now.. i think i’ll stop playing till the next update. I think just waiting for the quicksilver quests to appear or looking for upgrade modules, feels too much like a chore.

This game is definetly up with my all time favorite games!

Pretty much the title. Guess I will have to wait until next year to actually see this game go somewhere.

We got spaceships but no true variation, or even modding/crafting. Not even species/faction related ships.

We got freighters but they are a flying inventory box combined with an annoying-to-access timer management minigame.

We have factions and races, but there is zero interaction between the two.

We have crafting, but literally zero use for hightech components.

We got derelict freigthers, but once you see two you have pretty much seen them all.

We got expeditions, yet I completed the last one in a relaxed weekend session so that’s essentially nothing for now.

We got combat, but effectively 4 mobile enemy types and maybe the same number of hazardous fauna which is the same on every planet. Why even have shooting when there’s nothing to shoot at?

We got bases, but nothing to do in them aside from stacking biodomes and placing a large refiner. Settlements are even worse in that regard: you expand it so you… can expand it more? Purely cosmetic changes that aside from eating some resources change nothing in how I interact with the game.

And after 5 years there still is no worthwhile lategame activity. There is no hunting for ship parts/gear. There is nothing rewarding you for the grind for the species/factions. There are no possible mammoth projects one could try to tackle, like expanding your settlement to the point where you can (extreme example) have them start building your own custom freigther. There is not even rare “fashion” to chase down to flex on others in the anomaly with your surpreme sense of aesthetics (or shameless lack thereof, Warframe’s fashion game sure was one crazy mess sometimes).

Every part of this game is just another weird isolated extra-piece that barely fits with each other, and somewhere someone has tried to cram in random story beats with a crowbar or something. The potential is definetly there, this car could definetly go super-turbo-speed with a right do-over of the engine and the gears. But instead watch them install a bluetooth-capable cupholder. It’s so infuriating to see all this potential and HG doing effectively jack shit with it.
