- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

coming from elite dangerous, flying in NMS feels incredibly simplified. landing is literally "push a button to land". either way, they both beat starfield in that department
Totally it is but that’s the style. The game isn’t trying to simulate complexity, it’s more a kick back and relax game masquerading as a prog-rock album cover. Pressing X to let your ship land itself gives you just enough time to hit a joint and make a plan.
weird in starfield i also have to press x to land, so whats everybody's big deal?
Landing or taking off isn't interrupted with a loading screen in either game. You also have freedom of pointing ship to a direction and go there.
Those two things combine to make you feel like you are moving around the game world as opposed to game world moving around you.
that may be true, but starfield has some fun quests and interesting characters, which makes the world feel real and not like im the last human being in the universe
