an endless parade of loading and transition screens. the worst performance you have ever seen so that ten thousand milk cartons can be realistically simulated in real time in zero gravity. strangers walking up to you and telling their life story so you can do a mission that you will not remember in five minutes. holding W (sometimes shift!) so you can explore the wonders of Abandoned Mining Outpost #584. the possibility of alien life turned into a chore. when you think of discovery, wonder, and adventure, i hope you think of lifeless worlds and fast travel menus, because that's all this is. what a joke
