    I feel like there are more important things though. Like sure, maybe the marketing number is exaggerated, but are any of the planets even interesting? Is the game fun? Is it polished? Did the development involve abuse and overwork? Like seriously, who gives a shit if there are 100 planets or 1000, you’re never going to explore all of them anyway.

      There was that shift in gaming when assasins creed came out. Maps had to be big and bigger. The bigger the better. I was one of the poeople always on the lookout for bigfer maps. But honestly, most of them are just shit and boring, so what’s the point? The whole trend simmered down a lot, but now Bethesda is trying to cash in on it again and it kinda seems to work. There is absolutely no way it’s interesting to “discover” these planets. As far as i understand it you can only fly to a POI and then walk around there. And then cutscene fly your way to the next point. Seems boring as hell and a colossal waste of money. They could’ve made 5 great planets to explore, do people know how big a planet is?

      They made it pretty clear from the beginning that most of those planets will be barren, with procedurally generated stuff like minerals to mine.
