If it's a sci-fi game you expect to see a sci-fi HUD.

Also you guys say that this stuff doesn't matter and that we should prioritize gameplay. Okay then by that logic we should get rid of textures, unique NPCs, music, and have the environment just be colored blocks. All of those thing were destractions that added nothing to the gameplay. By having a game of nothing but jumping around on texturless colored blocks you prioritize gameplay... no destractions!

Aesthetics are too destracting.
