Watched the Starfield gameplay, when Todd Howard pulled out his space laser to mine iron ore it was like my soul left my body and i watched the rest of the trailer in a dissociative state.
I like Minecraft. It's a good time. I also really like Satisfactory. But every single other game that has resource mining would be better off without it. It's like hacking and lockpicking minigames, the only thing it can possibly offer to the player is a minute of annoyance - but with mining it's often hours of annoyance.
I respect it as a balance thing, nothing wrong with that. But if a dev's only reason is "controller hard :( " then they can fuck off lol. Turok 2 had like 25 weapons all the way back on the N64 and used a kickass quick-select wheel system for them.
