PS4 community goal

yes I have noticed the constant berating of this game and it puzzles me to the core. ANY GAME and I mean ANY, that can give you more than 100hrs playtime is an absolute marvel. only to mention a few for myself 400+hours each-oblivion,skyrim,fallout3,fallout4. 1000+hrs gta5+online. Yes these games have a lot of FAULTS(some more than others) but these games can suck you into their world, you practically live in these worlds for months at a time, the detail and craft involved in these worlds are verging on sorcery, HOW CAN I COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FAULTS IN THESE GAMES THAT HAVE GIVEN ME THIS LENGTH OF ESCAPE??

I know ED will be the same, YES it will have faults, but it will be a game that can be whatever you want it to be, inside a recreation of the milky-way, really what else do you want?. The work and effort to make such a game is truly amazing and the escapism whether violence fuelled or exploration/trading mood will have me captivated for hours.

Ooooooohh but its such a grind, really? yeah I started work at 16, still waiting on my mansion.......coz that's life... a grind. you want something, you earn it. You want something in a game? You play it. Its funny how different generation call playing a game to its core "a grind" where as most folk just play it. same thing on the gta5 online with the shark-cards people moaning about being "forced" to buy shark cards. this is bull, in gta5 I am level 325 a multi,multi, millionaire with all the trimmings, not once have I had to pay, WHY? COZ I PLAY THE GAME!!!!!!!

I am new to elite except the old amiga version, but so far, the peeps I have had threads with on here are nothing more than eager beavers like myself waiting for this game with positivity(apart from the wait!!) all urging and encouraging each other sharing their plans with us all. I think this PS4 section is way better and positive/engaging than most other sections and other game forums

Considering we can't actually play the game itself yet. What else would keep this spot on the forum open but the exchange of some friendly banter. Maybe it's me, I'm old and getting senile. Senility is basically when the wisdom of the aged mixes with the logic of a 12 year old. I grew up in an era that taught "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names can never hurt me".

I would concur that the current content of this forum's subject will change to that of a more normal one, once the actual game gets released. Until then, it's banter on. Besides, if our content was really objectionable the mods will put us in place. I did get my wrist slapped in my earily beginnings here. And had to take a file to my tongue. What you youngens call a shovel, I call a spade. Though both are correct, the use of "spade" is objectionable to a particular race whom also use this format. There are fewer words added to a dictionary every year than meanings. Where as my learned vocabulary used to be extensive, I can not utilize it the same as I once did.
 
[big grin] You never let me down and you are right, without humour the forum would go stale. [big grin]

I take it as a (pleasant) challenge to try to keep a thread on topic with you lot around.

and i accept the challenge of going off topic to keep things interesting, nice to have friendly sparring partners. hope we meet out in the black in 7 days o7
 
I probably logged about 80-100 hours into ED on XB1 before I decided to quit playing and wait for the PS4 version. I enjoyed every second I had with the game on XB1 and this was without Horizons. The wait has been long and hard, but I'm so close to diving back into the galaxy I can hardly contain my excitement. Any game that gives me that many hours of enjoyment and leaves me wanting more, will have me as a fan for life. Most games these days give me 10-30 hours and I'm done with them. And even then, I'm not one to complain and be rude, belligerent and disrespectful towards the development team like I have seen many ED players doing. I am really hopeful the PS4 user-base does not dissolve into that. The game isn't out yet on PS4, so everything is still rainbows and unicorns and people filled with excitement and anticipation so this forum right now is a happy place. I hope it stays this way.

I know I may come off as a bit of a sour- with this statement, but I'm also anticipating that all the constant off-topic posting will die down (or be kept in the proper forum) once we have something game-related to talk about. I'm all for friendliness and people getting along and enjoying each other, but it would be rather annoying to come into a topic looking for help in the game and reading people chatting about who isn't taking their meds and who is feeding who after midnight! ;)

Once the game releases, the only time you'll see me on this forum is during breaks at work or when I'm sitting on the can. I don't know if that will reduce the banter or not, but I expect so.

You know what this forum needs?

.
A tag just like this that says "Off Topic" instead of "Spoiler". There's an off-topic subsection for entire threads that are off topic, but sometimes in the middle of a serious conversation, somebody will post something that just demands the question be asked, "Are you off your meds again?" Trust me, you'll see!

I take it none of you have played GTA online on PS4? I'd rate those creatures way below the whole "negative PC community" on a completely different plane of hell. Just stick to your playstyle and you'll eventually congeal with likeminded.

I agree with you on GTA online, that game has some of the worse trolls I've ever came across. Sometimes its fun to get back at them though. My cousin and I kept being bothered by this one kid, ended up chasing him until he crashed and flipped over on his door. He told us good luck getting him because he wasn't getting out since we stood there. So we took has cans and poured it all over his car and burned him alive. I'll never forget that moment.

wow i have only ever played destiny, and that community are so intolerant of anything or anyone that doesn't agree with the "meta" load out of weapons. when someone found out i was transgender, they started the whole only real men play should play Sci Fi games so i left and i have not been back since.

so glad this community is 100x better, and more inclusive
 
My cousin is transgen too. A very pretty girl with her heart at the right place. It think it is prove of great courage to dare admit you feel you're in the wrong body. Therefore I thinks it's great you dare show yourself as you are in this 'male dominated' forum. More female CMDR's would be great.

+1 rep for renewing my faith in the gaming community. and trust me this is my first public expression of who i really am, and to be honest i was worried it would end up with me crying. but i have never felt more welcome than i do with everyone here in this mad house of forum

Exactly what Racetrack said, be who you are and screw the haters.

Really? Well, Activision games tend to attract worst people in gaming but since Elite isn't about the "pew pew" as I saw some people complain(srsly, on youtube people think Elite is COD in space) and it's made up of more mature gamers so you're always welcome here.
 
From what I have seen since Destiny released, is for the most part that community can be toxic. Then I stumbled across the ED forum and was pleasantly surprised how calm it is. Yeah I am sure there is toxicity here but I haven't seen much of it. A little the other day.

Except the PC section which is a salt mine.
 
You know I think the PS4 community on ED is nicest community I've ever been part of. I genuinely enjoy coming here and reading the posts. Its lighthearted and fun and drama free which I really like :)

Until the rabbil arrive. But we can always put our foot down if they start anything.

And this is how we as the ED PS4 community intend to keep it, none of the crying and producing of many many pointlessly angry salty tears and none of the constant moaning and stamping of feet with fingers in ears that you get from entitled children in the various other sections such as the DD for example.

Will will keep things positive as a community and any criticism constructive and clear.
