Breetai posted:What in particular has you feeling this way? The big one that bugs me is that the alpha really had a cool update to the original games art style but the newer gameplay videos show it replaced with a generic as hell one that has no character.

tuo posted:On the other hand, Elite is (nearly) exactly what was pitched. It is a modern remake of the original Elite idea. Of course, in the meantime games have evolved to a completely new art form. "Pong" would nowadays be classified as a tech demo or "vertical slice", not a game, similar to original Elite.  This is my take on Elite. It was a remake of the original, which a lot of people found boring. Yet I find the game cathartic. Look at minecraft. There are a lot of people out there who enjoy what others call mundane.

Sillybones posted:Did you know the entire contract was written out, down to the tiniest text where they used a single bone from a sparrow rib. This is the kind of stuff I love. Obscure trivia. So when someone says "Hey, what do you know?" You can reply, "I know they used a sparrows rib to write part of the contract in Willy Wonka"

According to Steam I've played 30 hours of Elite since I got it a few months back. I still haven't actually done anything so far. Just flew around space and done a few delivery missions. And I'm not sure I really want to do much with this game; I think I'm just going to kit out as an explorer and go round discovering systems and poo poo. TBH; I only play it when I'm baked.

Let me help you out: it got a 7/10 on Polygon, because the game let's you do so loving much, that it may lead to situations which *gasp* aren't perfect or even buggy. It's really really good though

"Evocati" was what the ancient romans called their soldiers who remained in military service even after their service period was over. In many cases, these where old veterans getting swindled by some local fat cat administrator who invented excuses not to give them the plot of land they been promised as a retirement bonus. So i guess modern day evocatis and ancient evocatis share one thing in common; they both been promised something they wont get, yet still they are forced to work for it.

toanoradian posted:What sort of investment does this game require? I'm more on the casual end of giving a game my attention lately. Time. Lot's of it. e: it's casual, though. I also don't play much more than maybe 1,5 hour per day (maybe even less) these days, but imo you can play it for an hour, and pick it up two days later without problems. At least that's my observation after about 12 hours of play. And I'm still in the starter region, mind you, there's just so much to do and most of it is actually fun. tuo fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Oct 15, 2017 |

Dooguk posted:RSI late again with their taxes. Not taxes and also RSI filed their accounts yesterday, the pdf is still unavailable. The confirmation statements are just basic admin that is literally just a tick box that needs to be ticked annually. That they are late for both companies, tells you all you need to know about the people running them.

 quote:I'm surprised that the game has mission givers at all. Aren't all the missions supposed to be procedurally generated? Isn't the PU supposed to be a living breathing entity where every NPC can be killed? Mission Givers is more of a World of Warcraft theme park approach.

Here, we see the male and female ship in it's courtship dance. They kiss, and then the male starts to dance, ships locked. If the female is wooed by this display, she may allow one of the male crew to mop her floors.

I just wanted to remind you all to call your parents and tell them that Divinity Original Sin 2 is a good game and they should play it. Unlike Star Citizen which is hot poo poo in a wet bucket.

tuo posted:TL;DR: Frontier made what they pitched: a very old game (which would get critized nowadays, of course) with modern technology, instead of a modern game in the same universe as a very old game Oolite is much closer to the original Elite than Elite Dangerous, and the original pitch for ED was also much closer to the original. As Toops says I know people love it for what it is and it's still a game I can happily loose a couple of nights in - but it really is a game about graphics and not much else. It's nice to go there but it's a step backwards from Elite and Frontier Elite II. Once you see how your ship spawns things around it it in the most obvious and clunky way (an entire base spawned right in front of you because you have a mission for it) the effect of the galaxy being 'out there' for you to explore is completely ruined. The originals and Oolite do not suffer from that fundamental problem, you never get the impression that stuff is 'spawning in' yet ED pops in ships and POIs and USSs and surface objects all over the place. So you never feel like you have stumbled across something cool or wandered into a dangerous situation and must fight your way out of it. Elite and Oolite make you feel like you're flying through a galaxy. ED makes you feel like you're flying a lookup table through a database.
