Very true! I found a lovely SCPQ quote that claimed that only 24FPS in a video game could be cinematic, and 1080 60Hz give his friend epilepsy.

As for reviews, I don't pay any real attention to them, but this was quite well thought out.

Elite was around 35fps for me running at 2k resolution so I dialed it down to 1080p and its 60.

could I tell the difference? without quesiton....:)

Well, it is an epic game no wonder it gets very good reviews and highest ratings.
Remember the first time you played the game......

I would reply my good Sir, but this marvelous detection device made out of something irony, will have to be doused with cold water, as to not burn a hole into my Owl decorated draperies. :)

Yeah... I'm rather surprised.

"Frontier has drawn a line under the game's lengthy beta at a point where it is, arguably, feature complete"

I mean, arguably it isn't. You can't even talk to NPCs yet, and many of the features are a bit... unstable at the moment. Don't get me wrong; I bought the game fully expecting that it was going to be one of those big, growing projects, and that I wouldn't consider it "finished" on the 16th. But still. Compared to the many space sims that followed the original elite games... it really does far less at the moment. It just does it with a lot of style.

I've ummed and ahhed about that and decided that it's complete enough to be the bare bones on which to build gradual and continual improvement - the framework is finished. It's the newly-built computer with the OS and a few utilities installed, ready and waiting to be made use of.

I think another thing that helps is that isn' t someone like Angry Joe doing the review. They are treating the title with the respect it deserves and are passing it for review to people who have experience with it and/or the type of games.

LOL, Angry Joe's "reviews" :D ... just, lol. He's hilarious, in an inane way - ADHD monkey with a mic and cam raging about how he can't press mouse button.

Pretty much, but I would like to see Ashens review Elite. He's one of the few guys on the you tubes that is actually worth watching.

Good review from PCGamer and at least the reviewer put some hours into ED and didnt just right it off after a couple of hours (like some people on this forum) ;) I sat on the fence until the 15th of this month i was going to wait for the reviews but im so glad i didnt.Im loving it £35 for a game that as kept me off ALL my other titles..and with possible DLC to come i can see ED getting better and better

I like how he starts

"In part, Dangerous is great because it is boring. This is a sim, committed to its own part-science, part-fiction set of rules and mechanics. It's not interested in being a piece of entertainment that you pick up and consume. "

It's very true of the game and one of his greatest strength IMHO
And it's very uncompromising (but rewarding)

good to hear they wrote that. It may warn off some people looking to pick up a pew-pew laser death space shooter. It does take time to learn, appreciate and master. That is one of its strengths. I hope to play it for years to come :)

I haven't played another game since I joined the Beta. Best money spent on a game in a LONG time. Given the hours I've put it, we're already talking mere cents per hour ;)

Let's be honest though, the game is being reviewed for what it could be, not for what it is at the time of review. It needs a whole lot more polishing and content, its potential is so obvious though that it's hard to judge it without imagining what It might become in the foreseeable future, with good reasons.
