    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    Lol I'm actually loving it. Exploring is fun, I love being out there, thousands of LYs from civilization, scanning planets from my little ship. No humans, no enemies, just me and the black vastness of space. It's a great feeling and it reminds me a lot of the original Elite, and of parts of...

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    Trying to get some combat done, but my ship setup sucks and I can't find an area with opponents crap enough for me to take on. Btw does every player start somewhere random? And, I see some systems are marked as "beginner area" or something like that... Should I visit those?

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    I don't quite like mining, not in the other spess Sims, not in any game. So far I've been exploring semi-randomly and chasing around the materials needed to unlock the first two engineers. I went as far as 160 jumps from my original location, and when I sold the map data, it got me nearly...

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    Same, I got it, and 2 or 3 useless DLCs, with a discount a few days ago (when I posted the OP), for about 15 buckzoids.

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    Tried NMS on release, it sucked sweaty, hairy ass, big time. Anyway it doesn't run on this laptop I'm using, so even if I were willing to give it another chance, there'S that. The others I might try, although they cater to a different craving of mine.

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    Also, so far, the whole universe is dead. In X3 (my reference of choice), I remember shit going on between systems, shipping freights going to and from station, pirates, police, whatever. Stuff happened, the universe was alive, and not all equally so, some sectors were dead, creepy, others were...

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    Dunno, I still overshoot a lot, and yeah, basically travelling is solely consisting of jump>align to new WP>rinse&repeat with the occasional "navigate 3 seconds around a star" interlude in said routine.

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    Been playing some 5/6h so far. It's alright. Runs well on my shit laptop, which is a plus. Combat is ok, exploration is ok, trading is ok. Everything is kinda average, nothing really stands out. The "always online" thing is bullshit, of course, and there are more microtransactions (which I...

    Damn, X4 too has very meh/mixed reviews. I guess if ED doesn't work out for me, illI just go back to playing X3.

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    That bad?

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    In the end, I bought it. We'll see. Also really wanna try X4.

    Elite Dangerous - Yay or Nay?

    That makes it sound, at the same time, as Yay AND Nay... :D
