But if that's the only solid aspect in a sea of otherwise mediocre (at best, from last time I was around) systems then overall it is still, to me, a disappointment. <br /><br />I do keep meaning to try out Elite: Dangerous at some point again too. They launched with a fairly barebones setup, but it was a solid core. And while dev speed has not been huge, it does sound like they've been chipping away at it, adding in more, including some story content even over the last little while.Naithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830174305806727004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-50157254111044714182019-05-04T13:18:44.903+01:002019-05-04T13:18:44.903+01:00I've been very surprised by how much I've ...I've been very surprised by how much I've enjoyed it but I would have to say it realy does feel like an alpha build. The graphics are fantastic and the worldbuilding is amazing but plenty of the systems and mechanics are very clunky, when they work at all. My mobiGlas, for example, for some inexplicable reasons sticks to my feet so it looks like I'm kicking it along the floor and as I mentioned it's all but impossible to do anything useful with anything you can pick up. The controls for flying ships are much more manageable than I was expecting but the way you access them is primitive. And so on and so on.<br /><br />As for gameplay, I have no idea. All I've done is explore. There are plenty of missions but I doubt I'll do any before the Free Fly ends. I'm impressed by what Chris Roberts is trying to do but I'm still doubtful he'll succeed. What's changed for me is that now I hope he does whereas before I didn't care. If he can pull it off before he goes bankrupt it's going to be a hell of a game!Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-34363072080487336042019-05-04T11:50:47.498+01:002019-05-04T11:50:47.498+01:00Bhag, I have to tell you.

Here I am trying to be all grumpy, jaded, in general all around cynical about it- and you're making it sound amazing. ;)<br /><br />More seriously, I backed this game way back in the day, and I have tried a few of the alpha builds to date. I hadn't been planning on making a return for 3.5, but I may well have to rethink that.<br /><br />I'm still incredibly concerned about Roberts and Co's actual ability to deliver a finishing product here, but my God if it ever eventuates I'll be all over it with bell's on!Naithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830174305806727004noreply@blogger.com
