yep, pretty much nailed all the reasons I like ED. And forewarned by the humor tag, I was also able to avoid the "beer-to-keyboard-via-nose" (ouch) laughter effect.
 
A great vid. Enjoyed it and had a laugh over and over remembering the many moments I also experienced learning this game. Nailed it!!![yesnod]

Hehe, truly awesome and funny Vid :D

Nice points worked out, extremely well put together!
 
I laughed out loud at "bin count."

As someone with dodgy monocular vision it's quite likely* that I won't be able to take advantage of VR, so I tend to take umbrage at videos that bang on about how VR is the be all and end all of ED. This falls into that trap a little, but to be fair the guy also gets Elite. He gets the nature of its simulation vs game dichotomy. He gets why hours of boredom interspersed with moments of terror aren't necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps most importantly, he gets that ED isn't a game for everyone -- not even himself -- but that doesn't make it a bad game.

For years I've been saying to friends and colleagues that while I love ED, I can't recommend it. That's how strange and unique it is. Some have sort of understood where I'm coming from, while others have stared like I've gone crazy. For future reference, I will be bookmarking this video and passing it on to anyone who asks whether ED is a good game. Whether it helps them to understand my perspective or not, at least it'll give them one hell of a laugh.


[SUP]*to be fair I still haven't tried it. Partly due to limited availability, but mainly
because I'm terrified that I'll be proven right and that it just won't work for me.[/SUP]​

That was a good video. Made me want to be a noob again.
 
Most awesome moment in the vid: Comparing the TM HOTAS to a (would be forum censored so aint typing it) device.
 
LOL, funny stuff. FDev info-mercial anyone? No, it's not like real space. No, it's not like the real effect of speed and control in space, etc. This reviewer must have been paid to do this to promote the game but in a humorous way.
