I’ve started fresh a number of times with these updates and unfortunately what that does is just highlight how disparate and tacked-on many of them are. They do not make for a coherent, well integrated experience at all. I’m certain it’s a better experience to just be a long time player who logs back in for every update.
Why not? Not only you was much different, the game was a different man too. I want to like this game, but the gameplay loop and activities seem not for me. I played it for a few hours years ago and might go back and try again.
I’ve played it after several of the updates and it’s pretty much the same game with a new coat of paint. A mile wide and an inch deep. But the game keeps getting wider and playing it now for the first time would probably be pretty great.
I loved it when it first came out because since I was a little boy playing Atari in the 80s I wanted to play a game where I could fly to space, between planets, and back in real time. This was the first game that gave me a satisfying experience like that. And it’s still my favorite part.
Edit: I played Star Citizen after which is a better experience for that, I put ~80 hours in so if it never comes out I got my $50 worth of play time. But I stay fairly close to development on it hoping I’ll get to play a finished version someday.
I’m about to start ELITE: Dangerous (played the ELITE game on NES way back…) which also have the first person element nowadays. Did you try that one yet? I still wait for Star Citizen to be “completed”, in the sense that I do not like playing Early Access periods.
10 years, I was a much different man when I first played this game. Part of my would like to forget the time and start fresh with all these updates.

That makes sense to me.

I remember feeling like I was scammed when this was very early development and even after initial release… bros really redeemed themselves.
They did for sure, and he’s now careful about what he says which is smart. He learned a ton through that very public failure.
I’m looking forward to their next game.
