Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I'm an Elite Dangerous veteran and have no problem with that. I think it's more realistic.
I'm about 18 hours in and the illusion of variety hasn't worn off yet. Plenty of things to find, with some travel time though. Unlock/upgrade your backpack boosters and it's almost like Tribes though, as you go flying across the landscape in short bursts to keep moving forward in the air.
Shazbot!
New match starts and half the team instantly spams
"I've got the flag!"
"I've got the flag!"
"I've got the flag!"
"I've got the flag!"
"I am the greatest!"
"No."
"I am the greatest!"
"It's almost like Tribes" are the four magic words to get me interested in any game.
Starfield at least lets me have some fun on foot. Elite built their ground component in a very punishing way that made it very annoying to deal with.
Yeah, I'm right here with you. I've explored hundreds of systems in Elite. I get excited when I find an interesting planet. It would be really weird and immersion breaking for me if every planet was interesting.
Oddly enough, it's misleading. Planets are covered with procedural generated POIs what he meant is that the environment of most planets is barren. I wish there were actually unexplored planets that weren't covered in POIs too.
