Elite: Dangerous ideas?
I reviewed the "tutorial" for Elite: Dangerous and am considering starting the game right away. Do you have any opinions on the experience? Would it be a good investment?
I'm really enjoying the experience, despite its small scale at the moment. Being in beta means only a limited selection of systems, ships, and market options are available. Everything is still under development, so don't expect a polished final product just yet. Overall, it feels fairly stable. If you're not into big sci-fi space games, this might seem slow and unexciting, but fans will appreciate the opportunity to play. Piloting your ship with a joystick feels natural. Please don't think this game will match StarCitizen—it's meant for a different audience. They're two distinct projects. I'm excited to try it out too; I was a big fan of Elite 2 and can't wait to see how they expand on this one. They mentioned a paid expansion with planetary features, and they're aiming for a late 2014 release, so it's possible we'll get the complete version this year.
