      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.

      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 liking it is not the same as not delivering. The game is exactly what they set out to make from the get-go.

        That being said at launch they absolutely did not deliver and deserved to be shamed. Though certainly not harassed like they were, unfortunately

        Yeah, other studios will think they can spend eight years making their game better for free

          No. They think they can purposefully release a half assed game after promising something entirely different and then drip feed the previously removed content over the years while fixing the purposefully introduced bugs in order to be praised as heroes by gullible simps.

            That is already the standard but without the redemption. That’s what people applaud here. That they invested in it and not abandoning it.

              You clearly need to work on your reading comprehension because no, that is absolutely not the standard already. I’m literally describing an example of literal fraud.

        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

      I can’t wait to load up my Pirate save after I finish walking the dog. I wonder what the next expedition will be like?

      I wasn’t expecting ths big of a change, but should have expected it after the Space Stations update.

    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.
