All that being said, it's a pretty fun game, kinda cool that it's always evolving, and I'm not upset that I paid $45 to enjoy the gameplay I've had. The people who regularly play it seem a little skeezy, though, so that part kinda sucks...
Box missions still bugged? Flying out the aircraft? Not completing? Dying while running?
I played a few years ago and refunded because even basic gameplay loops were bugged to non functional. It didn't feel pretty fun. Ended up playing No Man's Sky which was functional and fun.
In the limited time I've played, I noticed no bugs. I'm the kind of "player" who tries to break the game or at least the experience. The last time I hopped on was about a year ago, I played for about 2 hours, and everything was flawless.
What I didn't love is how. much. fucking. time. is. wasted. sitting. on. a. ship. Soooooooooo sloooooooooowwwwwwwww.
If more of the ship mechanics they've proposed (sabotage, engineering, repairs) make it into the game, I'll likely sing a different tune.
For the most part, the game feels like a very very interactive waiting room before the actual gameplay loads.
Personal note: I'm annoyed to no end that you can drink soda cans, crush them, and throw them, but no one ever reacts when you hit them with one and no one trips on them. My priorities are peculiar but consistent.
You're not wrong, lol
