Gamespot: I once had hopes of becoming an astronaut, but if Elite: Dangerous for the Xbox One serves as any indication, it's probably a good thing that little dream didn't pan out. I spent around 20 minutes crashing into hulls before I managed to dock my ship. I overshot my destinations in space more times than I care to count. I spent five minutes blasting space barrels without even being sure if I was doing it right.
The developers of the space simulator Elite Dangerous at Frontier Developments revealed a brand-new ship coming to the game.
Today, the developers of Elite Dangerous at Frontier released a new update for the game with a brand-new ship front and center.
Frontier showcased the next ship that will come soon to Elite: Dangerous, the Gutamaya Corsair, also sharing details and a release date.
Seems a bit ridiculous that No Man's Sky was able to support all formats and this game couldn't. It didn't help that they were selling the game piece meal either. e.g. buy this expansion so you can walk on planets. I feel like the damage is done and they should probably shut the thing down.
The irony is No Man's Sky is what Elite used to be and can be played completely offline.
You can still get a good 200 to 300 hours out of it on console, but I agree with everything you posted. It's really a shame because I like the art so much better than NMS.
it really is a confusing game. once you get the hang of the many many unexplained systems it can be a ton of fun. personally I love it if for no other reason than it does a great job simulating the vastness and beauty of outer space. Sometimes can be visually awe inspiring and cause ones inner geek to explode. combat can be fun too, and working to get a great ship and outfit it properly for combat is good fun. My current goal is to get to Sol (easier said than done....WAY easier)
also I've never experienced anything even remotely close to this on consoles which is REALLY neat. joins a host of genres I've only just experienced this gen (moba, mmorpg...). great time for console gamers imo.
