Just feels unfinished and rushed

I never played the original elite. Was it as good as tie fighter.. hang on tie fighter came out almost 10 years later never mind.
We need to bury him a crossroads with a stake through his heart, just in case.

Can't go along with you OP, I too enjoyed the Elite series in the 80's & 90's & I'm closing in on 10k hours on my gameclock in ED.
I wouldn't have said the game was rushed....the term would be 'a still developing game'.
Ok, it may not be developing as quickly as some might want, but it's still my goto game, even though at this time I'm working on Space Engineers, until the next update comes along (& I mean Carriers not the 'bugs free' update that's now been forced on us).
Even though I'm currently not playing it as much as I have, I'll always return back to it, I don't always like what Frontier do with it, but.......Excellent value for money in my book

In terms of quality of other online games I don't think Elite Dangerous is any better or worse. Its a games industry standard thing now for games to be early access, unfinished or constantly needing work. Faster internet speeds mean games aren't generic anymore and not easy to build. EA and Valve are the guys to blame really the whole charging you to test model was introduced by them 10-15 years ago.
Yeah, heaven forbid someone disagrees with that opinion.
Keep it up!
I played the original Elite. In its day it was awesome. There was simply nothing like it and the game world felt huge. However 35 years of computer game development have taken place and of course the game now appears very dated. ED is a reasonable approximation to how I imagined the game in 1984. The combination of space flight and FPS that SC allows I can see being a compelling attraction.
4 pages in and I'm still perplexed that the thread is still going! Such an obvious OP troll post, I'm surprised the mods haven't slapped a closed notice on it.
It's developing community spirit! Plus the mods have probably been given the weekend off with the proceeds from the midnight black paintjobs.
Wot? I can buy a pint with Arx? Where???
tl;nwr version: OP wishes it were still 1984.
OP you're right that the game remains unfinished. It is now in its fifth year but still is quite empty unless one likes to read screens and sentences. That's about the extent of the interaction. It's probably best to simply look at other options like SC which is miles ahead even in alpha. Miles ahead. Miles deeper.
Reading screens and sentences in a video game ?, outrageous.
SC is a comically transparent scam.
