Some of Starfield’s planets are meant to be empty by design - but that’s not boring, Bethesda insists

To be fair, most of the cosmos in real life is literally empty. However, realism is overrated. The whole reason we play video games is because real life sucks.
I mean, some of us play sci-fi games because we want to experience the reality that's still out of reach to us.
Not Bethesda products, of course, but, you know. Games.
Unless it's a driving game. Arcade-style racers just aren't fun. You barely have to use the brakes (if at all), and the AI cheats. I much rather play a racing sim.
Otherwise I agree.
I have a sim race setup in my living room and play ACC and compete in iracing events. That being said, you're not going to tell me Burnout Paradise isn't fun. It serves a purpose. I don't go into it looking for ACC level brake temperatures or tire wear, i go into it to drive 150mph around corners and smash into other cars.
Sad trackmania noises
To me, the only fun racer is Initial D.
Oh man I totally forgot about that game. Used to play it in the arcade using those mag stripe cards that would save your progress…good times
Yeah, a lot of people play video games to extend their hobbies.
