Thanks for the clarification. I am curious about one thing though?

Are you a 'sandbox' type of player, or a 'guided path' type of player (if you had to choose one)?

I'm wondering if you're the latter type of player, and if it has driven your outlook on the game, throughout all the years it's existed, with all the additional content added to it throughout those years?

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Usually the latter, but I have played various sandbox games over the years. I find that sandbox style games tend to get boring after a while due to the repetitive nature and little variation. I'd usually skip the "fetch" quests in RPGs for the same reason.

It's cool to build huge bases, but I see little point in if there's only like 5 useful things that you can put in it. The majority of my space was taken up by storage containers.

Yeah it's funny to mention NMS, as what I've heard from most people is that you'd have money AND get more value by buying that particular today over Starfield

Starfield is essentially NMS with a storyline and better graphics.
