Lorca got me through discovery for a season or two and then he was gone, I don't think I watched anything beyond it. I hear it's only gotten worse, somehow

Damn, thinking about the msn messenger brings me back to such simpler and happier times
Same experience here, it's a fun and entertaining movie. FR is still better but that is a perfect movie IMHO, it'd be next to impossible to match or beat it in any way
Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of innovation in the genre and what we have is often a buggy mess - that definitely doesn't help the adoption of 'deep strategy'. I love games like what you mentioned but even I get sick of them when I start running into AI or optimization issues, where games devolve into snowballing or boring tedium after the first few hours, when the UI is a frustrating mess that makes me hate every second spent on trying to make it work the way I need it to work.
Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the amount of polish and thought that goes into games like factorio or against the storm.
Amazing and beautiful game, the only issue I have with endless * series is that the combat always falls short for me, but you can still easily get a few dozen fun hours out of it.
That's a very naive perspective though. We're not blaming the guns for gun violence, it's the people, but restricting access to guns is still the proven way to reduce gun incidents. One day when everyone is enlightened enough to not need such restrictions then we can lift them but we're very far from that point, and the same goes for tools like "AI".
Oh absolutely, it's a shame but long gone are the days of having access to like 3 games in total and having to play them all the time as a kid. Nowadays if there's isn't something new in the game every few months it just disappears from my mind - there's always something else, newer and better, to take that space instead, for better or for worse. I enjoy helldivers but after 80ish hours of repetitive missions, I need new toys to make it interesting.
For me personally it's not Sony as much as how grindy the game feels. Requisition credits and most samples are just going to waste, xp is kinda meaningless so the only thing I'm getting are extremely small amounts of medals and SCs which just feels bad.
I really like this game! Wish it had more pve content, as it seems it's very dependant on pvp interactions to spice up the late game, but even without that the exploration, combat and gear progression is really fun and engaging. The game also looks great and feels really good to play, neat UI and controls for both combat and building.
Basically, if it were primarily a pve sandbox game with AI to fight it'd be my dream game!
Any comparison is meaningless because for every bad thing you say, people will jump at you with the classic ol' "its still in development".
The fact is that it's buggy, crashes all the time and you lose progress, it can't be played like any actual existing MMO - it's a demo atm even if you ignore the common resets they do officially on major releases. Until it's actually released and can be decently reviewed from start to finish it can't even start to compare to an actual released, playable game.
