If your only goal is to reach the center of the galaxy, you're setting yourself up to be disappointed.
The game doesn't have that massive of a scale just to speedrun to a certain spot.
And even if you are planning on doing that, it's all based off of luck for how close you start to the center.

I honestly think that NMS will be the same and possibly even Star Citizen.
Nobody in their right mind would go for Elite Dangerous because of the size.
That's like saying the only reason to play Eve is because of how many planets there are.

That's like saying the only reason to play Eve is because of how many planets there are. But I had seen it used as a selling point of the game before it came out. And that sentence is out of place because I originally had a weird rant about Everquest and WoW that felt overly out of place, even for me. In short: Everquest is a hell of a lot bigger but there is less to do mechanically than WoW. Imagine that but over like a paragraph.
From what I've seen, the main selling point for NMS is that everything not pertaining to intelligent life is procedurally generated.
That means that somewhere in the game, there could be a planet filled with space-dicks as far as the eye can see.

I found it!
Forgot to take screenshots (though the planet might still be within range), but I found a planet where the most common plant is a tree-sized space-****.
