It's not even that, I never talked about the space to planet transition because I expected that to be a loading screen.
I'm talking about how the game itself is structured, I thought the space travel and jumping from system to system was going to be more like elite, but it's just small instances with loading screens. Was that my fault for assuming that? I mean, they focused so hard on ship customization I assumed space travel was a big part of the game. At least the space gameplay, if not the planetary gameplay.
Bethesda was super closed off about how exactly the gameplay loop was structured because they knew the truth was going to reduce sales. So they let the reality of it just go unsaid while they kept you focused on the pretty screenshots.
