    Nonsense, those of us who weren’t plugged into gaming journos 24/7 enjoyed it on release. I couldn’t have cared less that it didn’t have multiplayer or whatever. I wasn’t even aware of any controversy at the time.

    There aren’t that many first person space exploration games outside of nms and elite and nms is much easier to get into. It was fun, and still is

    And I don’t count starfield because starfield is just a loading screen simulator

      Being a hot mess and being enjoyable are not mutually exclusive. 1.0 was a buggy mess with worlds that had the depth of a puddle populated by Mr potato head animals, the same half dozen outposts, and a suit screaming LIFE SUPPORT FALLING the moment you stepped out of the ship.

      Doesn’t mean it wasn’t enjoyed by some.
