If you fly over Hurston there are trash heaps, huge city, acid lakes, savannas, deserts, mountains region, polluted oceans, outposts, village or two, junkyards, caves etc.
Trash heaps indeed.
I'm just not sure if I would qualify that as "content", its just a more detailed exploration system... and of course it is, its +12 years of development of a single solar system Vs 1:1 scale modeling of the milky way released in 2014, would be shocking if it wasn't.
The problem is... and what can you do with that? I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm up to date with Star Citizen content, but from what I've seen, it seems there are only a few game loops finished, and many of those still broken, and many consist on just a slightly different type of energy beams.
I've thrown about 200 hours into ED back in the day, far from fucking perfect I'll tell you that, but a pretty solid game, factions, reputation systems, rankings, bounty hunting, piracy, trading, smuggling, exploration, mining, community goals, aliens, multicrew, a progression system... is it the deepest shit ever? Lol, fuck no.
Yes. There's a reason why Elite players went to Star Citizen. "At least my game is released" is pathetic cope when Odyssey is sitting at 39% positive and no one wants to play it, aside from ~3000 dads coming home to play space trucker every night. It's a boring, stagnant game with a boring stagnant playerbase as the game is practically in maintenance mode.
Frontier's 'you want that feature? we'll patch it in later and sell it to you' approach has been a complete disaster for ED. Instead of delivering a quality game with the kind of content players want (atmospheric flight and space legs) included from the beginning, they sold them as two poorly received expansions bolted onto a decent space cargo hauling game and their players paid for the privilege... Of course by nature of expansion packs, instead of bringing those expansions up to par, they didn't because the moment they released Horizons (flop) they were already working on Odyssey (flop).
I'll always find it hilarious how much people get up in arms over the average spend of Star Citizen being ~$131 when many Elite Dangerous players are in for $50+$40+$40.
ED community has been oscillating between 3,000 to 10,000 players since 2015, in
STEAM alone.
This "ELITE PLAYERS ARE LEAVING FOR STAR CITIZEN!" can only be backed up by a handful of posts made by random people in reddit, and just like those, you'll find many claiming the other way around, most of them probably made by autistic people like you with weird emotional attachments to video game companies.
As for its price, right at this moment:
Slightly cheaper than the amazing SC Legatus Pack I would say. Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for shitting on ED issues, that fucking DLC was criminal, fuck them big time for it, but I'm not going to sit here entertaining your retarded ass by pretending it excuses or it is somehow worse than the shit CIG has been pulling in the last decade.
