yes the flight controls suck a bit and are very very hand holdy, the inventory is a problem but i see it as simply part of the progression, gotta hunt for those exo suit upgrades.
it also run alright for me, i've had the same rig for a while but i got more ram recently.

I get slow down while boosting across the surface, like when i'm forcing the game to generate content in real time. but walking around i'm getting 40-50 with a high/med mix aa off and af x8.
all in all i'm not too bothered about the consolitis in this game, its there and very noticeable but its not a fast paced game so its not really hampering the experience all that much.
I got killed last night and thought i lost everything but if you die to pirates in space, you can fly back to where you died and get your shit back. the 'grave' icon is kinda hard to miss so if you die don't panic or rage quit :P.
