Is this game any good yet?

Something something something Steam stats!

Something something something complete!

How come you didn't make it past the menu ?.

Spinning ships...infinitely spinning and not connecting. Im not here to tell anyone how games are made, Im here to play them...yer asking me about something I dont know anything about and Im not paid fer...all I know right now is I cant get into the game. If I knew what was wrong then chances are we wouldnt be having this conversation.

Cant even report it because its technically not a bug...one has to actually be in the game to see bugs and thats where the current problem can be sourced to...actually getting into the game.

Save yerself the trouble of arguing m8, its me own stupidity that made me so much as try cos I foolishly believed ye when ye claimed the problems werent that bad...more fool me lets not have this conversation again cos the next time really will be the last time. Ive had it upto here with this game and Ive wasted half the year waiting on it...Im off to play other games made by real devs who actually seem to care enough to keep their community informed...very unlike this game it seems.

Either ye see me in another game or say goodbye now, no skin of my nose cos Im done...cya hope things work out ^

Fired up this game fer the first time in months...erm...didnt get past the log in screen. Ill be better able to answer this question when I do get past the log in screen. Tonight however, its back to RDR2 which isnt broken and is perfectly playable.

Considering I originally gave up on ED because of bugs, I gotta say...current situation isnt what I would describe as particularly inspiring or encouraging considering its the xmas break and theres not a snowballs chance in hell its gonna be sorted anytime soon. And the issue isnt on my end cos everything else is running quite smoothly thankyou very much.

Well done FD, ye only managed to make Q4 a fail when some genius decided the timing was perfect, what could possibly go wrong...duh...Ill be back in a couple weeks to see what the craic is then, might even get past the log in screen by then and actually see what they did fer meself.

Ye lot shouldnt have talked me into trying to play again so soon...now things are worse which is ironic considering it was supposed to be the finale of a year of quality of life improvements. I honestly wish I could say Im surprised...sadly Im not ^

I had a little shot and did find the mechanics improved. The stability issues clearly need sorted but it was never going to be quick releasing so close to xmas. My issue is that i just got really bored after half an hour again. For all the improvements in mechanics i still can't find any purpose in the game. It still feels like a bunch of disjointed mini-games lumped together. I do think there's a bit more with the scenarios etc but i still have no reason to come back to the game, personally.

I'm being genuine when i say i really do hope something does bring me back because i really want to like this game.
 
Technically Doom 4, but lets not split hairs
No it's definitely Doom3 that Elite Dangerous resembles most. It's nothing like Doom4 (well apart from there being 4 Elite games). The "Doom4" of Elite will happen after Frontier is absorbed/dissolved by another company, David Braben is gone, and a whole new group of people build a brand new game from the ground up which is loosely based on the broad themes and iconography of the original Elite. And, uh, to overextend the metaphor a little more: all the ships will have a very detailed damage model.
 
Still a marmite game! I'm biased as I have over 1,000 hours played and I love it.

I'd say a solo or single player experience it's brilliant "IF" you like space ships and space sims but with a very self driven story. I guess having played before OP you are aware you can trade, explore, mine and do combat related activities.

Th is story and narrative out there now if you use the new codex and go and find things yourself but it's still very self driven. As a multiplayer experience PvP is good but PvE multiplayer still needs more, however the new BGS stuff, squadrons and scenarios are starting to open up and expand this very well. I still think the coop and multiplayer experience in Elitre Dangerous is 6 months to a year away from being as polished as the solo side of the game.

UI and quality of life fixes over the last few patches have been excellent.

Wait, how exactly did you waste half the year waiting on 3.3? That doesn't make any sense. Did you sit in front of your computer without doing anything but waiting for the update? That's probably the most idiotic thing I ever heard of.

Anyway, goodbye mate. It's way cooler to turn around and leave than making a whiny dramatic forum post though.

It's cooler to let people express their views than feeling compelled to argue with every person who complains about the game. Everyone is entitled to their opinion as they are entitled to express it. Shutting down dissenting opinions isn't conducive to a constructive and open forum.

Freedom of speech works in both directions, just as you can endlessly moan on about the video game I can say why hang around if you are unhappy and other people having fun triggers you.
