Sometimes with unexciting monsters/dudes with dull color palettes inside them. Sad, cynical people are hanging around nearby saying, "kill the monsters, NOT THAT IT WILL HEAL MY CRUSHED SPIRIT."
I guess this is how SF in general works now, and it's natural to expect it to extend to the MMOs. But shouldn't there be, like, at least one that's actually fun? It seems really screwed up to me that even the Star Wars MMO is just an endless march of woe. For Christ's sake, it's the series about a doofy farm boy having laser swordfights on spaceships and hanging out with cute puppets.
In the popular consciousness, has space just become a font of endless disappointment? There's no sense of exploration and nothing's beautiful, it's all just brainwashing, environmental devastation, and war. It's not even didactic, just resigned.
