So I just got hailed by a ship telling me they have been trying to contact me about my ship's extend warranty.
My favorite so far has been a lone Scottish trucker singing a sea shanty

Was that ship called The Valentine?

Is this for real? I have not played, but its all one player correct? No interacting with others?

I tried to blow them up after talking to them for a little while but they grav jumped away before I could finish them off.

Here's the delayed Eurogamer review. I can see why they withheld the review copy from them initially.

Bethesda isn't shy about blacklisting sites or journalists. I think Kotaku has been blacklisted for close to a decade due to reporting on some unannounced projects via leaks. I expect Eurogamer is in a similar spot.PeekingDuck said:

I rebuilt the Kepler-R ship and it is a beast now. It is sooooooooo big lol. And I just obliterate other ships now.

Post your build?
I agree. Some of the criticism they made were valid, but to give the game 3/5 stars is a little hypercritical for me.Teslag said:
That felt more like a critique of Bethesda than a review. And all of these negative reviews seem to be the same. And that is that they didn't get Skyrim reskinned in space.
Inspired by the Space City Astros unis. I need to get a better shot in better light. Those were taken in Londinium.BadMoonRisin said:

This has been me since I started. I'll start a mission and then get totally sidetracked by something else. End up going in a completely different direction or to a different planet. Built a base and will end up spending a ton of time there building and organizing stuff. Haven't done any faction stuff yet and only a few Constellation missionsQuote:
I just started playing this week. So far, if there is any other Bethesda game I would compare this to it is Morrowind in that from the beginning I am feeling a little lost and not sure what to do next. Personally I think that is a great thing and the slow burn discoveries are part of the fun for me.
For a game that was billed as a space exploration game...there was little of it.Claude! said:
What I think falls a little flat is the free-form planetary exploration. The cities are great, and the pre-set places are generally okay, but the randomly generated points of interest aren't really compelling, and there's not really a whole lot to do or see between them. I know it's an unfair comparison, but I haven't come across any of the random fun or interesting non-marked environments like I did in Skyrim or Fallout. Makes that piece of the game, which has heretofore been a hallmark of Bethesda games, not incredibly engaging, and makes surveying a planet a chore more than anything. Especially when I need to survey aquatic fauna but can't find the coast despite landing on a tiny island.
Fewer planets with more content is the number one criticism I have been seeing from people about the game. The quests only send you to a dozen or so different planets, of the 1000+ in the game. There is little to no reason to visit 95% of the planets in the game.Tex117 said:For a game that was billed as a space exploration game...there was little of it.Claude! said:

They should have just gone for like 20 (or so), hand designed planets where you could fly and land between them.
The quests are in fact pretty good. Better than usual Bethesda fare.
I cant help but think they just missed the mark with this one a little bit.
Don't disagree, but it also plays away from Bethesda's strengths in environmental story-telling.Teslag said:
That actually works in favor of immersion for me. Space is mostly nothing and dry barren rocks. The fact I can travel to these and realize that most are unimportant adds to the allure.

I will say, I would criticize the mobility when on planet. There should definitely be a way to call your ship to you, or some type of landing craft/vehicle to drive around the planet.
