"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I heard that in E:D you can get autolanding modules really cheap and easy but that seems insane to me because half of the fun of that game is trying to land your ridiculous space bus in a parking spot past a rotating hole

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

It plays Blue Danube when it kicks in though so it's great.

Great video

But sorry I had to skip the middle 5 or 6 minutes. I simply couldn't watch the snails pace approach into the planet surface

But thank you for Skipping the 13 minute jump (twice)

It’s okay, that’s the optimal way to view it lol. I leave some of that poo poo in because it really highlights how fuckin tedious every single part of this game is, and everybody else trims it out to make the game look good.

Auto landing module is great, and gently caress all the forum dads who think less of people for using it. I'm not traversing 30,000 light years only to get stuck in a mail slot and lose all my exploration data when station security blows up my exploraconda.

Aziz... spark that shit nigga
aside from flying around has croberts said what actual gameplay is gonna be like in star citizen (other than just saying yes to every feature)

like doesn't cryengine limit the number of players on a server to 64 or 128 or something? so it can't be a huge persistent universe like eve, so will there be like quests? deathmatch kinda stuff? is the focus on pvp or pve?

basically is there gonna be content or just a bunch of overbaked art assets and motherfuckers taking subway trains to nowhere with their dick in their hand

They stated from the first mention that this game will take place in the year 2942. Why do some people get so upset about the release date, it's only 2018?

I have come and gone from ED for years. Play it for a while, go play other stuff, then new expansions come out and I play it a bunch again. Right now if you have Horizons a fairly huge expansion is coming out Tuesday. It’s going to own, there are going to be large scale combat zones where bunches of npcs fight bunches of alien Thargoids and capital ships jump in sometimes to counter. They are always really fun activities to do either with wingmen or people playing in the other bridge positions of your ship or flying your fighter.

ED is also objectively beautiful and walks all over SC in terms of exploration and actually feeling like your in space.

Here are some of my old adventures:

Uh, well, realism dictates that travel time take longer for smaller ships because their engines and stuff is smaller, see? The fidelity here is incredibly important

*sweats profusely*

It has nothing to do with the fact that we want to make people buy bigger ships to avoid the long travel times NOR does it have anything to do with the fact that we have no content in the game so travel times need to be exhaustively long, to pad out the "gameplay." (Flying to empty areas and picking up boxes)

It’s pretty frustrating going from No Mans Sky, where you can get from a planet’s surface to space in about four seconds, to Elite where it takes ages to get anywhere.

Star Citizen makes Elite look fast paced.

Of course Star Citizen isn't out. It is approaching Earth with a realistic travel time of hundreds of years. You idiot. You absolute moron.

How many actual places are there in the game and how big they are? Like if you don't count the padding of FTL and atmospheric travel, and you don't pretend that randomly-generated planet surfaces are "content", how long would it take to walk/fly around and see everything that's in the game right now?

There’s a crater that’s as big as Skyrim somewhere. You might wonder who gives a dick about a massive hole full of nothing but that’s your FUD goonie brain being an SJW or some dumb bullshit

I haven't played E:D in a year, and this new expansion looks like I could play it for about 5 hours before I get bored?

-They made mining asteroids suck a little less (why are you mining rocks in a spaceship game don't be an idiot)
-They made exploring planets a little more interactive (yes go explore galaxy, quite beautiful and surviving a trip then returning home causes feels)
-They gave you some more excuses to do spaceship combat (ok but y tho ... there are no stakes except having to pay insurance if you get blowed up)
-They added grind for SPECIAL SPACE PEWS. Even the grognards say this grind is serious internet space business.

They also messed up hilariously several times, like spawning alien attacks in no-combat zones so if you pew at the bad guys the game declares you an outlaw and bans you from landing at the space gas station.

Meanwhile in Star Citizen... uh... face tracking?
