Every time I play this game and start to think "oh man, it's actually fun!", the game throws a tantrum and yells "NO! I'M NOT FUN!"

I landed on Eos. My first instincts, as usual, are to explore. Do every possible sidequest before I do the main mission. The game says "No. Too much radiation. Go fix it first." Okay. I do the main mission on Eos. I find the three monoliths and locate the vault. I'm done now. Ready to explore my first Andromeda world. The game says "No. The atmosphere needs time to clear. Go back to the Nexus." Okay. I take my ship and fly back to the Tempest. I talk to a lot of people there, pick/do some quests and talk to Tann. The mission gets completed. Time to fly back to Eos and do the sidemissions!

The game says "No. There's still a lot of radiation. Play a bit more until it's not a thing or you can upgrade to not care."

WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF THIS GAME?! Why would you make a game that is so thematically centered on the fucking exploration of a fucking new galaxy AND THEN MAKE IT SUCH A FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS TO EXPLORE?! The game has grinded itself into a hopeless slog of realism, in the way GTA would do if it gave you a wanted level every single time you did anything that could be considered breaking the wall. "Oh well planets can have radiation" DON'T FUCKING LET ME EXPLORE THEM THEN! IT'S JUST A DRAG! "Oh, well, the search thing in Inquisition was kinda silly and illogical, let's give them a scanner now." YOU KNOW WHAT THE SEARCH THINGS WAS? IT WAS QUICK AND EASY TO USE, UNLIKE THIS STUPID SCANNER THAT DOESN'T GIVE ME HINTS ON WHAT I SHOULD BE LOOKING AT AND IS SLOW AS FUCK TO PULL OUT AND WALK AROUND WITH! "Oh man, remember when we had that piece of shit vehicle the Mako in ME1? lelelelel. Yeah, good thing we fixed it in ME2 DLC with the Hammerhead, right? A shame we never used in the main game..."

WHY THE FUCK IS THE NOMAD SUCH A PIECE OF SHIT? ITS JUMP IS USELESS! WHAT'S THE GAMEPLAY POINT OF SHIFTING YOUR WHEELS? WHY NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR ME TO DRIVE?

I'm so bummed out. I feel like this game at every point is just working against me. I can appreciate the core concept and idea behind it, but it's just not fun to play.
