Last week's game: Lobotomy Corporation

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 continue with Kenshi. I now have my original moid, a couple lizardpeople, a very darkskin man, and a mayofoid. I have a little house in an area that seems safe and some beginner production facilities. I found out I have to pay tax, and I feel like I better pay, because the government has strapped troops and my guys can only sometimes beat up malnourished hoboes. So far it's holding my attention. Just I don't feel like reading too much in the way of guides and wikis right now, so someone tell me if it's foolish to continue without knowing what I'm doing. It took a while before I realized my original guy was not the Player Character.

I liked Kenshi but I just can't stand managing multiple characters so I quite after 20 hours. Even normal :marseyregular: rpgs I'll look up how to set up companions so that I don't have to manage shit on them.

Heck even elder :marseythalmor: scrolls/fallout I refuse :marseyprotestno: to have companions. Don't need other !nwahs to worry :marseyveryworried: about
