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.
Yeah elite dangerous is just so awful I don't understand why people play it. They made the ships look like crap on purpose to sell skins, and beyond that everything looks terrible.
The actual gameplay is so rough, and finicky, I end up just turning off my computer and going outside :possum-mama:
Elite: Dangerous is fun for the same reason Euro Truck Sim is fun. I can't imagine what players who actually do combat see in the game though.
