Overblown and knee jerk.

I'm enjoying the absolute fuck out of this game - hundreds of hours already and no regrets. This game is a lot deeper than anyone gives it credit for, it's fantastic, and I'm looking forward to more of it.

No Man's Sky bores the hell out of me and yet I'm having so much fun exploring planets and raiding pirate bases and being surprised by handbuilt content in what I thought would be a procedurally generated dungeon. Not to mention the surprisingly deep side and faction quests. Oh and so many hours playing with the shipbuilder.

I'm sorry you're not having fun guys. But maybe you should focus on things that are fun for you?

Hand made? I found a lot of copy pasted bases and ships between systems, to the point of thinking that I already visited those

Those are handmade, and it's honestly the issue. If the bases were procedural out of descrete hand made chunks, it'd be less repetitive. There seems to be about five bases for the procedurally placed content, and once you've done it once it gets dull. It's not even like they made furnature procedural or anything like that to change up the looks. They could have at least made different doors locked procedurally so you have to take different routes each time.
