Fahrenheit makes sense for humans. Most of your day to day climates are in the 0 to 100 scale, and every 10 degrees is a noticeable level change.

• 100 super hot day, approaching unsafe without counter measures
• 90 really hot day, slightly annoying and should take precautions
• 80, hot day, more annoying than anything
• 70, beautiful day, enjoy it
• 60 not to bad, if it’s windy you could be slightly on the cold side
• 50 long sleeves or maybe a hoodie
• 40 definitely a jacket, and hat
• 30 full on coat, scarfe, and hat
• 20 multiple layers of out for a while, maybe double pants
• 10 annoyingly cold, need to start thinking about the safety precautions
• 0 and below, temperature now measured in hold long you can be outside before danger

Celsius makes sense for science stuff because it’s derived from science stuff, so things like calories and energy work with it. But it doesn’t really apply to everyday life as well. So it actually makes sense to use both units for the things the are good at.

Is it really the sloppiest though?

I’d say its about on par with their past games. It’s clearly their game engine, modified to do space stuff.

If you come at it with the mindset that not every game has to get bigger and more expansive and have more and more realism/mechanics that don’t serve the core gameplay, it achieves it’s goal.

Not saying its game of the year material or anything, but if I was doing an employee review, I’d give it a meets expectations grade.

That’s the thing. I think it is a carry over from that. Back then a lot of games didn’t have a menu or anything, after you hit the button, you were just playing the game.

Like Mario 1 and 3 have just a simple 1 or 2 player select then you are in the game. Some single player games didn’t have anything, they just would go straight to the game after you hit start.

Now there isn’t really a need since nearly every game has a menu for loading saves, starting a new game and such. So they could go, but are just a vestigial part of gaming history at this point.
