Sometimes I wish Fdev had done a better job of updating elite dangerous and really putting in effort for cleaning up mechanics issues.
But then I see stupidity like this and realize I am so much better off lmao. At least I have a 1:1 milky way game to play whenever I want.
God... Elite has so much potential. Its almost so good, but just stumbles so much. Like... i bought it so I could walk around my ship. Thats like my fantasy and they were promising it, but, alas, they still don't have it.
How the fuck are people still falling for this scam? Oh right, half of our country worships a braindead cheeto blob. edit: Damn so many trump simps in the thread. "omg everything politik" yeah welcome to fucking lemmy
I literally can't play this game, my PC has 16GB of RAM and it runs out of free memory after like 10 minutes and crashes to desktop. When your "fix" is to just buy more RAM or increase your page file size, then your game is a fucking scam. I understand new games require more powerful hardware, but this is Amazon lumberyard ffs.
It's not even that new anymore. A 1080ti was tip of the spear graphics technology when this game first became "playable."
new games
It's a decade old lol.
Is that Mark Hamill?
"Hi, I'm actor Mark Hammill. You might remember me from such unfinished games as Untitled Star Wars Game 3 and Untitled Star Wars Game 7."
Yes, he is a major character in the single player campaign along with Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, Gillian Anderson, and others who provided voice acting and facial performance capture.
I honestly feel like they should just release Squadron 42 now and then do Star Citizen. Let us have the ships and combat in an Ace Combat style game just in case Star Citizen never release.
it's a huge success story for Star Citizen. I htink they are delighting the dreams of people who want to travel and work in space, but know they can never afford to really do so. Bethesda's Starfield is a sort of attempt to do Star Citizen, but it's just not as gritty and realistic as Star Citizen.
I’m so happy that I’m on the sidelines of all this. I think watching is significantly more enjoyable than being part of it.
Cause it's the game dev that never ends it just goes on and on my friends…
Is it worth pirating to play it single player today and get an idea of its current state? Or is the game online only?
Spacebourne 2 immediately comes to mind. It's only one dude doing everything, so it's both amazing and lacking at the same time.
Also Evochron Legacy, a real passion project of a space sim.
The singleplayer experience, called Squadron 42, is not yet available. Online only for the public alpha test.
As to whether or not it's worth it, you can be the judge. They have multiple free-fly events each year (although the most recent one just passed I think) where you can download the game and play for a whole week for free to see if it's for you. I would wait for the next one to come up and try it then, if you are curious about it.
Generally, I try to steer people away from it even though I'm a fan of the game myself because it's just so rough around the edges and the initial mystique and wonder of exploring a vast solar system quickly wears off and gets replaced by tedium and lost progress due to bugs and glitches, so it doesn't make for the most enjoyable experience. YMMV.
I'd say just wait for SQ42 to come out, however long that may take. Possibly within the next few years if we're being optimistic.
