    I’m glad we’ve reached the point where most people accept the game’s lacking in so many ways and overall a disappointment.

    Everyone going, it’s not a space SIM it’s an RPG in space. As if Skyrim wasn’t handcrafted. Such a bizarre defence of the game. It would have been better if they had just gone with one system, and had no FTL, it’s all fast traveling anyway so it wouldn’t have make a gameplay difference, but then they won’t have felt the need to have loads of randomly generated planets.

      It’s also hardly an RPG. The only choice accepted by the game is being the good guy and almost every character will be exactly the same. You can’t even reasonably have a choice in weapon type because melee sucks and there all of three or so laser weapons. Dialogue choice is also as bad as FO4 despite then saying they’d learned from that mistake. You still only have “yes, no, sarcastic yes, more information” options, but now they’re in a traditional selection menu instead of a wheel. Why even change the display if they aren’t going to take advantage of why that system is better?
