Anyone else a bit dissapointed with the space travel?

[Masquerade]

So I went in with no hype or expectations. but given its a game about space exploration the actual ship flying seem really bad? like it's all cutscenes and fast travelling so what even is use of upgrading the ship etc

Yup, everything space feels super disappointing. No atmospheric flights is super bad as well.

I'm disappointed because it reminds me how bad I am at space combat.

i bought the normal game but how can you upgrade to play now without paying for the 100 extra

Sounds like "don't bother" to me... just be patient

everyone was told from the start that the space aspect of the game was not going to be like star citizens open space sandbox so why complain now

i am infinitely more disappointed with the garbage combat. They have somehow managed to make it worse than FO4 even.

I just play X4, Star citizen and Elite Dangerous, all are far superior to this game. I didn't expect much from Bethesda but no space travel in a space sim is a deal breaker, or should be a deal breaker for anyone with common sense.

Only if you want to lean way too far into the "sim" part of it, does X4 even have out of ship stuff? And Elites out of ship stuff is tacked on at best.

Yes, I've played both and they suck for just having fun.

How can be someone disappointed with something that not exist? There is no space travelling, just teleportation from POI to POI. Your ship is not even moving in space, so you cannot reach painted planet 2D disc. Space is just teleportation hub.
And yes, there is no meaning to create/upgrade your ships.
Technically all game is just a dozen of POI zones randomly generated on different planets as a flat tiles with invisible walls.
And yes, there is no procedural generation which meaning continuously generating world during your movement/exploration. It's just literally randomly generated flat tiles with POIs.

I don't get people complaining about loading screens, I have my game installed on a SSD (not an NVME2 mind you) and the loading screens are almost instant (1~2s) If you expected your HDD to load things faster YOU are in the wrong because it's literally in the recommended and MINIMUM specs that an SSD is required.

i'd have liked a more open travel from planet to planet, through space.

but this is passable, it works - and well it does cut out the tedium of those trips. sure most games you've a chance to run into stuff while in flight to a different planet. random encounters and such. but most of the time its point to target planet - go into some kind of warp speed. - then go make a sandwich or something while you fly 5+minutes

You played 99 hours of Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Lack of space flight didn't seem to bother you in that RPG about space exploration.

[vengence330]

its a space rpg. you want realistic flying, try a space sim. this was never supposed to be a space sim

[applemop2000]

I was. I was wanting something like no mans sky or Elite dangerous.
