I think the most interesting / fun expeditions are the ones that don’t just devolve into glorified scavenger hunts. This expedition in particular has been the most egregious example of them all, even moreso than the xenobiology (or was it exobiology?). I gave up shortly after the first milestone and resorted to guides because 2/3 of the milestones after that require landing on every random planet you come across and hoping you find something.

And even those guides just boil down to “find a portal, enter these coordinates.” Really engaging gameplay, lemme tell ya. Sorry I don’t have 100 hours over 6 weeks to find everything on my own Hello Games, but don’t worry, with every expedition I’m slightly less inclined to come back for the next expedition or touch my main save…

…it seems to me (as a technology layman) that in game stability has gotten WAY BETTER with the last update. I can actually walk around my planet side bases and colonies now without the game dropping down to 10 frames a second or being in constant fear of crashing. I also don’t have as many instances of placed objects disappearing.

Things are still a bit jittery on my frigate, but, once again, still way better than it has been.

Good job HG! It’s nice that, along with the constant updates, they’re still trying to give some focus to improving and maintaining playability on last gen systems!

I don’t suppose they could pass some of that hard work and dedication on to CDPR can they? It would be really nice if I could play the Phantom Liberty DLC on the copy of Cyberpunk 2077 that I invested in at launch instead of having to pay $400+ for a new system because they didn’t want to attempt to do what Hello Games is proving can be done.
