Yeah. I liked Odyssey for wandering around my carrier's interior and really very little else. The combat is absolute dogshit, and that wouldn't be half as bad if pretty much every on-foot mission type did not inevitably downright require pissing off some faction or another, which then forces you to get involved in combat. The gunplay is pants, and I can't fathom why there are so few hitscan handheld weapons in a universe that's all about laser beams and railguns and shit. And then when you're done with the annoying combat you have a ton of bounties stacked up you have to deal with.
At least the mercenary missions let you just shoot people for the sake of shooting people. But if I wanted to bounce around in low-grav and shot guys with silly weapons I'd just play Borderlands.
That reminds me, I probably need to grind some cash to pay the upkeep on my damn carrier.
