Every time I hear about Star Citizen, I feel better about buying into Elite: Dangerous.

I feel like i should just consistently post myself playing No Man's Sky in Star Shitizen forums

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

That'd be a good bit, especially because No Man's Sky is like the anti-Star Citizen: it was loaded with false promises when it launched, but over time, it got better and better and kept getting better until it genuinely impressed me as a day one hater, all without thousands of dollars needed to "pledge" for spaceship jpegs.

Star Citizen is the one thing that can make an EVE Online player feel superior

Every setback and drawback to Elite: Dangerous has been paraded around the Star Citizen cult as an indicator to keep the faith. That's amazing, because they try to sneer at flawed content when their content is just dream farts.

Elite: Dangerous is the game that I want to get good at one day, and every so often I think I have the time, so I install it, relearn how to fly my speship a little bit, then realize I actually don't have time and then uninstall it.

This cycle repeats once or twice a year

Elite Dangerous is fun as hell and it's too bad braben is a dipshit

I had fun with Elite before covid, but the direction it was developed in kinda killed the vibes for me.

Too bad Elite forgot to bring it's game design to 21st century.
