It’s more like the people that didn’t like it stopped playing it and the only ones left were the people who actually liked it. The game isn’t for everyone, but while it has had a lot of nice updates, it’s not fundamentally different from what it started as.
Nobody said it was “fundamentally different.” It’s just been iterated on heavily and original promises have been delivered and more. It’s not the same game at launch at all.
Maybe for some, I bought the game for the promise of a plethora of flora and fauna, but it is all the same in different colors. As wide as an ocean, as deep as a puddle. I try it with every single update and it got better but it is still not what they teased it to be. Happy for everyone who loves it though.
Not OP, but I do the same thing. I would leave it installed, but I always end up getting bored after a while. I can’t explain it exactly, I feel like they’re building a mansion on top of a shack, like there’s impressive new stuff but some of the core aspects haven’t changed at all
Did they ever make any ui changes? The worst part of this game was being mid battle trying to menu and add materials to your ship or guns or whatever. The ui and gameplay from this aspect was god awful. No amount of adding other things makes this game good for me if the bad menu ui and mechanics are still a thing.
I've just tried to play again on pc with a dual sense controller. It feels like I'm fighting the game the whole time. Maybe I need to try something other than the default configuration.
Props to hello games though. It has probably the most complete support for steam input actions and action sets that I've ever seen. Better than portal even.
Seems like planets have been scaled up? Otherwise the increased height in the terrain will make them look even goofier than before. I'm guessing some of that terrain work is also in preparation for their other game. Aside from the atrocious gameplay loop this was probably one of my biggest issues with the game.
