[Megathread] Star Citizen

[Dezerte]

I would hardly call ED a realistic space sim, it barely offers a space sim experience as it is, most players who enjoy space games want to be an actual player but even with the ED expansion your still mostly just a ship.

It is a glorified loading screen the supercruise is a completely different instance of the game, just because you can see some signals and move around a little doesnt change that its just a terrible travel system, ED is built on instances upon instances. If you like it thats fine but it has no space travel feeling, if it at least was on the same map as all the planets then it might be a little better.

I most definitely must have played a different Elite Dangerous from you then.

100 hours is nothing to put into a game, you can put 100 hours into a game and still think its boring and doesnt really offer that much

Yeah okay maybe for you, but I'd know early if I was into a game or not and do something else if it was boring. I'd not sink over 100 hours over a period of weeks on it.

Star Citizen is just a better space game plain and simple.

Opinion. Not fact.

You don't know what most players want. I don't, you don't. Don't act as if you have the answer or know.

ED has no realism feel at all, the supercruise is not realistic as the drive should only allow for slight movement at those speeds, not doing U turns when you miss a planet, your just flying the ship normally in supercruise so its not a very interesting system.

Star Citizen blows ED out of the water for anything to do with realism in a space sim.

Doesn't matter how many times you state this, it is still bullshit.

You either didn't actually play ED for any reasonable length of time, or you genuinely put over 100 hours into the game and enjoyed it. You are allowed to have enjoyed another space game you know, right? Nobody on the face of this fucking Earth puts over 100 hours into a game they don't like, one they think has nothing whatsoever to do. What did you do for so many hours?!

As I said before, and will only say once more, it is far more likely you pulled that 100 hour number out of your arse as something you could try and use to shit on ED and big SC up. How sad would that be if it were the case?


Given you hilariously think that SC has more, and better, content than almost any completed game ever released right now, I'm not sure you're qualified to state this. Your opinion, as I said, is the epitome of biased.

But by all means, prove your opinion is a fact.

At a certain point a game gets boring and you have tried just about everything it has, diablo 3 i have over 1000 hours on that and i can barely get a reason to play it anymore, so 100 hours is nothing and anytime i have tried to play it again its just boring pretty much straight away.

Im completely bored of WoW and have years played time on that but im still playing it the bare min to raid and mythic plus.

[Shakzor]

100 hours is nothing to put into a game, you can put 100 hours into a game and still think its boring and doesnt really offer that much but there might not be many games available that offer the same gameplay so your stuck with whats available.

Clearly something had you hooked, otherwise you wouldn't have played it for roughly 4 DAYS. If i think a game is boring, i definitely won't reach the 100h mark, often not even the 10h milestone. No sane person spends a hundred hours in a game they think is boring, when there is a comparable one they think is the holy grail of all existence.
And even if you come with the "yeah, but after that time", that is normal for games people enjoy to get bored of them after they've done everything they want, like hell, i played Monster Hunter World for like 700h, but i don't really log in anymore, because i got "bored" with it, having reached my goals. So it was indeed not boring, but you just reached your "goal" or whatever.

Can we all just agree anything Kenn says about Elite Dangerous is a complete asspull as they've never touched the game and until they show proof of playing 100 hours should definitely be ignored all together.

0 or 100 doesn't matter. Either way hilarious because he's either making shit up or admitting he will play a game for 100 hours even if it's bad in just about every aspect and a "glorified loading screen". Just to put into context what kind of person we are arguing here.

Elite Dangerous has way more exciting space station landings.

Its just trading with a little bit of stealth, there is no real consequences even if you do get scanned bar paying a fine so just losing money, hardly makes it exciting. The landings are the same no matter where you go in ED, you either use the docking module or go in manually, security forces are not a real threat in ED.

You can easily play a game your not really all that interested in if there is nothing much else to play at the time, i barely have an interest in WoW anymore but log in to do a raid twice a week and do a m+, ED doesnt really have a goal to aim for the gameplay options are still the same.

[Bhanzai]

Ppl are still in denial that this is a scam? It's been known for like 3 years. Wow.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

The ships that were caught smuggling were blown up. That is a considerable investment loss. There are real stakes here, and it takes skill to pull off. Very exciting.

Money is easy as hell to make in ED, there is no risk at all but wasting a little time, the security forces are not a threat to a player at all, the ships blown up were just npc ships.

No gameplay i see from ED makes me the least bit interested in playing it again.

Then don't play it! Fuck! But quit making up shit and trying to push your narrative to anyone that ever plays a game in space. You don't find it fun, fine whatever. But your opinion is only YOUR opinion. It isn't a fact.

This is getting old~
Someone: posts an opinion about something they find fun
Kenn: Nuh uh, waste of time, boring.
Someone: More fun than what I can do in SC for my tastes
Kenn: Nuh uh, SC can do that and more someday
Someone: I don't find SC fun and don't want to play it
Kenn: I got bored after 100 hours in ED, shit game. Boring. SC is the best! Let me push that narrative of mine and act like someone who isn't rational or is a paid employee!

That was certainly a blast from the past! This video was actually one of the reasons why I bought into the beta.

[Basileus]

Been reading this thread for years and finally decided I wanted to try the game out and educate myself.

It's pretty boring, tbh. It's flashy and pretty but that's all it really has going for it at the moment. Spent about 30 hours over the last week trying everything I could, wanting to immerse myself. Maybe I wasted my time by not reading guides or something but it just felt...hollow. Every system is half-baked at best, the servers are shit and crash almost on clockwork every 4 hours, the t-posing NPc's are hilarious at first and then just kind of sad later on.
The only thing I really liked was the flight control itself. It piloted well but...that's really all it had going for it. Mining was boring. Combat was boring.
It's just a meh game all around for me, but I can understand people being sold on a "vision." Going off what's in the game now, I doubt it will ever reach that vision. It'll just suck in money and continue to be in development hell for years until it either gives up some of its lofty goals or falls apart.

Amusingly, this thread is making me want to give ED a try.

Only if you want to spend 100 hours being oh so bored!

I've spent well over 100 hours playing CP2077 on what is effectively a toaster and enjoyed it. Probably makes me a bad person or something.

Yo, CP2077 was actually a great game, though. Once they hammered out most of the weirdness from launch.

[masterblaster0]

If your the one claiming its BS its on you to prove it wrong by providing something actually tangable.

Please stop being absurd with your "No U" nonsense.

If you say something is supported by actual facts, you should provide those facts when challenged. Not insist other posters need to disprove the facts you refuse to list. That is peak absurdity.

I totally agree with this. The more he posts the more it appears he is just trying to get a rise out of other posters.

Nah not at all was just joking with you. ED might be worth of shot if you can get 100 hours out of it heh
