@GRTooCool: I also played the BF3 beta and hated it, but it represented the game awfully. It didn't feel like the finished product. You don't know what you missed out on. In my experience, most betas are very neglected and are a shitty excuse for not trying out the actual games.
@muzza93: You don't need imagination to appreciate imaginative concepts. What if you are a creative person and don't love or even like this game, what are you then according to you? What it takes to love this game is so personal that you can't explain it. Objectively, I can't come up with any justification to why I would recommend this game to anyone. What are its merits, exactly? I've spent over 20 hours playing it, and if it weren't for my huge interest in open worlds and exploration, and the intriguing thought of what will happen if players encounter each other and when you travel to the center of the universe, I would have ditched this game long time ago. When you've seen one area of a planet, you've seen it all. You can just land, go out, turn the camera around, and leave for the next planet. The landscape becomes generic fast. It certainly doesn't help that this game is no eye candy. It should have been when it's so deprived of gameplay and absent of storytelling. The narrative is so thin that it's next to none-existing. The only essential thing you do is mining. It might seem like a survival game at first, but you will realize it doesn't deserve to be in that category. Are space battles what I have to look forward to, gameplay-wise? From what I gather, it's no bigger than mining. This game has no substance.
Love the new interface style. So clean and neat. The map looks amazing. Hope future games ditch the style this series has adopted since BF3, not that I believe this will actually happen.
