and what happens to you along the pursuit of that.

I spend most of my time in the game listening to podcasts, logging in to waypoints and upgrading my exo-suit.

I think this game offers both more and less than anticipated (I personally never expected to see a clip like that). It's all about how you interact with it it. It CAN be boring; I almost relish the boringness of it, it replaces the mundane but high velocity action of Destiny and the stressful yet somewhat lopsided difficulty of MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty.


Yet somewhere out there, some person is waging war with 20 ships and a giant freighter, humming like a butterfly until his wings get clipped in ways I couldn't imagine possible after 30 hours with the game.

It's that kind of potential, the kind I find just in environmental formations and the random glitched-as-fuck planet that stacks locations on top of and within one another but others find out in the cosmos with their thrusters and blasters, that I think the "wrong" initial experience with this game is ruining for some people.

But, you're also right, on a surface level it doesn't offer 'that much'. It's just that I guarantee I've had fun with it and only interacted with a small portion of what it's offering (to whit, I've only been to five solar systems and seen 12-13 planets where others appear to hopping systems every 15-20 minutes).
