Game to Discuss?

This week, let's discuss Elite: Dangerous the latest (and greatest?) sequel to the progenitor of all vidya starshit: No Mans Sky, notably (@MAGAShill), as well as Starfield (I think, haven't played it), Starsector (probably the best successor), and probably in some sense, every single game where you fly a spaceship. I won't go into the whole gory history of Elite, though features in it have made it to most every other space game: shitty procedural generation, the trade of goods of varying and dubious legality, and the seemingly ubiquitous engines - shields - guns power distribution system.

Unfortunately, Elite: Dangerous is hardly what I'd call innovative. While it did have the incredibly large randomly generated universe in common with, and prior to, No Mans Sky, for much of its existence planets were nought but pretty orbs to glance at from the comfort of your spaceship, which admittedly cut down on dev costs. The latest expansion supposedly makes planets into places you can visit, but I haven't, and probably won't purchase it, as it's apparently pretty dogshit. The game also has cosmetics purchasable with real world currency for some bizarre reason, which is pretty offputting. Beyond this, the vast majority of the gameplay loop resembles a simplified take on European Truck Simulator. You mostly travel from station to station, with various cargos, the specifics of which don't matter much. This gets boring real fast, tbh.

Despite all these flaws, this game isn't irredeemable, simply because it has the most detailed model of what a spaceship might look like/function. The asthetics are on point, and it feels properly futuristic in a way that similar games fail at. It even has a :soyjakwow: diegetic interface, which does a lot towards making you feel immersed. Too bad the core gameplay's shit though. Leave your opinions/thoughts below, and vote in the pinned comment.

I thought Elite Dangerous came out before No Man's Sky? :marseyconfused2:

And how about Eve Online hmm? :marseyshapiro:

It did tho? Did I write the wrong thing in the blurb? Eve's different, because it's actually an MMO, and I've honestly never played it, so I can't judge.

I guess it might seem confusing, but that's a list of games which it was a progenitor of, starting with NMS.

Elite Dangerous is a frustrating game in that it could have been the pinnacle of space games, but just fell flat. And not in the way a typical AAA game does. The devs obviously care, and they made a lot of deep games for autismos but this one just doesn't have that I wanna play for a month straight to figure it out gameplay. Almost everything you do is pretty straightforward, and the things that aren't are just dumb (engineering). They tried to somewhat fix this with Odyssey but that was a disaster and even now that it's fixed you do one planet mission and wonder why you would ever want to do that again.

The game I will say always looked beautiful, on a pancake and VR. I mean VR was almost a killer app imo, but normies can't handle the spinning. And the draw to just explore is always cool with how big the galaxy is. But it's better left to youtubers

The main issue with Elite is that it has a bunch of gameplay loops that never really overlap with each other and once you've played that loop for an hour you've seen pretty much everything it has to offer.

If you're a big space sperg exploration is probably going to tickle your brain but aside from that other games do what Elite does better.
