Elite: Dangerous.
If you want to enjoy it, you need to go in with lowered expectations and a certain frame of mine, lest you go mad grinding materials.
Ah E:D. Love and hate it. Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.
I have a few hundred hours in ED. I accomplished absolutely nothing in the game. It's basically Space Travel Wallpaper The Game .
For me it's Space Truck Simulator
I can't knock that. I play ED and American Truck Simulator lol
None of my friends know about Truck Simulator though
Oooh yes. I cannot even explain why I'm hooked. The first obstacle new players have to overcome are the absolutely insane default key/mouse bindings.
Oh haeeell no, I used an xbox 360 controller, never KBM. ...which is probably one reason I was trash at combat.
Agreed. Don't expect the end and all of storytelling. It's a make your own adventure game with surprisingly deep lore through galnet.
I was really disappointed with this one. I tried it out per a friend's recommendation after they heard I was playing a freeware space flight simulator (Orbiter, which I do actually recommend).
What didn't you like about it?
Sort of a dumb reason, but imo, flying a spaceship is not really what the game is about and that's all I wanted to do. For example, I wanted something where I had to use orbital mechanics to dock with a station, but the powerful SciFi boosters in Elite Dangerous take all that fun away.
Same here. I'd be playing much more of Odyssey ran better on Steam Deck. On foot stuff is rough, but maybe I should just look at my settings again. I can't remember if they're down all the way or not. Ship stuff runs just fine though!
