    They expected a Bethesda game and got a Bethesda game for all the good and I’ll that entails.

    That’s also all we were promised. No false advertising here. Bethesda knows what Bethesda fans want, and they make the game Bethesda fans want. It’s literally the only gaming experience left where I don’t feel like I have to over-research and pirate-demo to figure out if I should buy a game.

        Yeah. But I love that about CP. I got it dirt cheap when everyone was bitching, and just waited for them to fix it before I started playing. Best $17 I ever spent for a new AAA game! I can be patient.

          When CDPR is done releasing patches and DLC, then I’ll buy CP 2077. Of course, not all games require this kind of patience, but with CP 2077’s rocky history, I think it’s warranted. I’ve waited this long. I can wait a bit longer for that Definitive Edition and enjoy a truly finished product.

        thousands of planets to explore would imply exploration is going to be exciting I’d personally assume

            Therein lies the problem with the simulation aspect of space-oriented games. The vast, vast majority of space is lifeless nothingness.

            Everyone likes to imagine that we’ll achieve FTL space travel but what if it takes us much longer than we think it will? I’m not aware if such a game exists, but it seems to me developers should scale back the scope of their space games to single solar systems with like 500-1000 years of human space-faring history, intervention, cultural, and socioeconomic development built into the solar system’s “world” and its lore.
