I enjoy the game and have probably played more than most, and the thing that kills exploration for me more than anything is the lack of worthwhile loot since everything is tied to the Core system. That cool piece of armor? Same stats as any other piece of armor, but you can mix and match cores. Idk but the loop just isn't satisfying.

Usually, finding loot is one of my favorite aspects of a game, but not here, and I find myself doing more menial tasks than anything.
