But but Investment systems! Pr- Procedurally generated! ;0; (Gaming)

Funny how taking our time and simply enjoying a game can give us a completely different impression of the quality of it, huh?
One can only take your time and enjoy a game if there's something there to enjoy. In my mind at least, finding the minute differences that make your planet special are stupid because that doesn't feedback into the game in any meaningful way. Why not explore a planet that's designed, so that you can uncover whatever the designers leave for you? NMS is just a formula. Nothing deeper. There's no guarantee your planet is interesting in any way. You're not going to find the ruins of a civilization and uncover the reason behind their demise for example. But if someone carefully designed that planet, then that would be fun to explore!
When I go hiking, I'm not expecting to uncover an ancient civilization. I revel in the cool plants and bugs I come across, though.
I guess I need less of an adrenaline jab than you do.
