I just finished talking with someone who's a SC supporter about their decision, and they were telling me quite a bit about how it's right there with Elite:Dangerous in terms of development when I brought up the troubled development of this game. I was understanding that Elite: Dangerous is at least an actual functioning space game with things to do in it... but apparently this is not the case and it is instead a buggy unfinished piece of poo poo where missions don't work correctly and lots of things need reworking? I feel like I've heard otherwise in this thread before, so I'm asking if this is the case or not I guess.

I've written things for patch notes before and these are hilarious by comparison. They have about 7 or 8 bullet points worth of changes and got 4 pages out of it

I did a thing instead of working on any of the stuff I need to do. Realistic physics and explosions! (planetary landing coming soon we swear)  Party system working as intended.  Immersion!  Fidelity!  I apologize for the post of giant gifs. Duckaerobics fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Feb 23, 2016 |

I haven't played since before horizons but E:D has always worked fine it's just boring. I want to play horizons but I cba to drag out my joystick and stuff to play it.

There's a mission in Elite where you go and meet an NPC in another system and they just don't loving bother turning up

Reading over the changelog it looks like it was written by a complete moron.quote:There are three new icons on the player visor HUD while in Crusader. 7 different changelog entries to explain a single new feature quote:Game Systems: Why is this in a changelog? etc,etc I quit reading after that because it's trash

If you want to play as CMDR SSJ7_Mal_Reynolds, hard-luck freetrader and loyal member of the federation, doing whatever he can to keep his ship flying, then you're poo poo out of luck. The aspects of the game that are tuned towards "canon" role-playing (Missions, powerplay) are poorly designed where they function at all, but everyone, including the devs, freely admits they're garbage and the devs have promised a rework sometime this year. If you want to drive a spaceship or a moonbuggy around and shoot dudes in space, it's loving amazing, if pretty shallow

aleksendr posted:Getting scanned for contraband by AI in Elite : Pff. Look at those game systems being designed and then just let fly. What hacks. Lastdancer posted:I just finished talking with someone who's a SC supporter about their decision, and they were telling me quite a bit about how it's right there with Elite:Dangerous in terms of development when I brought up the troubled development of this game. There have been a fair number of mission bugs. A really fun one was when they introduced mission chains and made no concession in the UI for the possibility that you were in the right place at the wrong time: the mission is active, you the “decline” button isn't there to get out of the mission select screen, but you might go in there without having all the key items needed to make the “complete” button light up… so you're stuck in UI and has to quit the game to progress. The scripting can be a bit wonky at times, too and doesn't always do a good job of explaining itself. Sometimes NPCs don't show up… maybe. But you can't be sure because of the many different ways NPCs exist in the world. He may be there, but hidden in a space anomaly. He may be there, but flying in supercruise on the other side of the system. He may be there, but has actually completed his scripted run and is now docked in a station — he may reappear in 15 minutes, but you don't know that because you don't even know where to look. But a lot of that is actually having the right equipment and being in the right system when the game expects you to. So after waiting for an hour with the wrong equipment, 15 minutes later than you're supposed to be there, it will definitely look buggy to the player.

Steam say i have 18.3 hours played in Erectile: Dysfunction and i have yet to find any gameplay bugs or crash a single time to desktop. I only have the base game so maybe Horizon has additionnal problems i cant tell about. Maybe they are basing their impression on the game when it was still in its 1.1-1.2 days, where they had only 8 type of ship hulls and little mission variety. As for unfinished a lot of people say the "powerplay" mechanism is missing "something" they cant yet put their fingers on and that PVP could use some balancing (but thats a neverending issue in all existing game, forever, as even white has to play first in chess.) Some people say a few mission types are "buggy", mainly those involving the transfer of cargo or information with timed contacts in space but i have yet to see one of those fail for me. Maybe they need to pay attention to the briefing, radar, com channels, watch the clock and if the mission tell you "You will be contacted about the delivery point after a certain time", bring a simple wake scanner so you can follow your contact to the point in question. Its a great, specific genre game, but since it exist in playable form it cant be the game of dreams anymore.

It does suck on a time sensitive mission to be flying around hoping you'll run into that NPC who you're supposed to drop out of super cruise and talk with, or chase down and blow up or whatever.

This guy doesn't get something and I only really understood it after playing Elite for a while. You can have a real 1:1 scale size galaxy if you want, the fact of the matter is you go into OMG WARP DRIVE and are teleported as far as you like to imagine. Space is so loving big you can't do it any other way, technically or realistically. So it doesn't matter if you think you've travelled a million light years or 500 meters, in game all you have done is waited for warp drive to happen. In Elite, I never ever feel like I have gone anywhere - I just feel like I've spent some time watching a warp screen for a bit.

Elite would be much more immersive if that warp tunnel-y screen lasted 100x as long. As a nice side bonus, nobody can attack you while in warp so you don't have to worry about those awful other players. It would also give me time to rearrange my cargo with grabby hands and sweep all of the space dust out of my hallways.
