I’m having too much choice paralysis. 😵‍💫

I will spend hours just wandering aimlessly looking for things to do end up with 20 missions and not want to do any of them because along the way I learn something new that’s possible and seek to check that out. I’ve just been bouncing around 3 or 4 star systems going between Mars, New Atlantis, Neon and Akila and feel like I’ve barely scraped the surface.

It’s fun to notice the tropes, though. Its like they just took everything from sci-fi they thought was cool and shoved it into one game. You’ve got the Star Trek planet, the Cyberpunk planet, the Firefly planet, a faction that’s basically Starship Troopers, the NCR Rangers from Fallout (everyone thought they were so cool), evil corporations filled with snappy dressers… I’m sure there’s gotta be a derelict ship or station that has a terramorph infestation that is going to be basically Alien/Aliens (and I can’t wait to find it). As a huge sci-fi fan, I appreciate the hell outta this game for the nerdgasm it gives me.

As soon as I gave up on it being a good spacesim (instead of just looking like one) I’m having tons of fun. I do like the ship combat though.

The fact that the game is unplayable on an HDD is really upsetting. That’s it, I can’t form an opinion on the rest because the stuttering is so bad that I cannot play it.

I’ve gotten a lot of replies to this and I don’t really care to argue. I know SSDs are better for loading assets. Tech is my job. I understand that. I do not agree that HDDs are deprecated. Y’all are really angry about this and should take a few steps back.

Agreed. Most fun I’ve had in a long time. And I own like 400 games lol

I’m loving the game for it being finally a Bethesda game in a setting I actually enjoy.

And, No Man’s Sky tickles a completely different itch for me.
