Yeah it's just not my genre. I want to play it, and then it does my head in actually playing it.

tbh. they could give me 1000$ worth of ARX - and it would still be 100% meaningless to me.
Heck they could hand me the entire Store content for free... and nothing would change.
Cosmetics giveaways aren't going to save them, not even by a far shot.
Yep, and I told him so on this very thread earlier. Wonderful video. Makes me all homesick and stuff.
To be honest, I think what most people want (beyond their own personal desires for exploration/combat/ships/whatnot) is the performance problems and bugs (not just the Odyssey ones) people have been reporting sorted, coupled with a weekly note letting us know where they are with that. I have no doubt there's more to come in terms of features and content, but all of that would be papering over cracks at the moment.
Origins I think, so last year? But I didn't put much time into it, and it's uninstalled at the moment. The last time I tried it over quite a few days was the update with VR.
Out of interest, when did you last play it?
Right, that was the Beyond 2.0 update, so you've basically missed Synthesis, Living Ship, Exo Mech, Crossplay, Desolation, Companions, Expeditions and Prisms updates.
Hoo boy.

They sure make a lot of updates.
I did say most! Not all.
OA is one I have stayed subscribed to because I enjoy his content. Bought Everspace based on his playthroughs some years ago.
I'm not interested in Star Citizen until I see concrete evidence of an actual finished product. Estimates put Star Citizen at least another 3 years away and Squadron 42 not until at least Q2 2022. Once bitten and all that.
That's great and all, but at its core it'll always be a pulp-scifi crafter/builder game with spaceships mostly being a way to load new maps. It has a center part, like ED and X4, that if you don't like it no dlc will change it.Right, that was the Beyond 2.0 update, so you've basically missed Synthesis, Living Ship, Exo Mech, Crossplay, Desolation, Companions, Expeditions and Prisms updates.

I recommend NMS as one of a few spacegames to people all the time, but it isn't for me. And it never will be. Nothing wrong with that, and you dont see me hang around NMS communities berating HG for not catering to me or pushing players to ED. It's a great game, for others.
Not the image I wanted to have during dinner...
Eventually look for "Will and Kate" channel on youtube - they do a pretty good first exploration series of SC - the "verse" might not be that large yet, but there is certainly quite some stuff to do and play with. I haven't bought it yet, because I need a better PC to play it - especially I'm out of SSD space and that seems to be required. You might not buy it as well yet, but have a look at what it has already.
it is less pushing players to a different game, but more of "don't worry, be happy" meanwhile - sticking with Elite at this time is just frustrating, whereas they could have some fun in a different game meanwhile. in 6-12 months they can come back and eventually Elite will be worth playing again, but why would they want to stay frustrated until this might or might not be happening. They can have fun somewhere else and dwindling player numbers in Elite might get the attention of FDev quicker than any other method.
I'm not sure about streamers myself, I find the game to be much more fun playing than watching. However there is certainly a decrease in CC activity of late. OA is creating much more flight simulator content as an example.
Sure, laugh about it. But be honest, you've truly never walked past a meadow, seeing some fine cows and getting sinful lust on your mind? We've all been there, no need to be shy about it.
Heck, I still sometimes think of a cow I saw in the distance years ago. I couldn't see the udder but I knew it was there.
Dangerous Discussion never dissapoints.
I've been lucky to start out on an icy planet - which looks quite natural, it's colors are not that much oversaturated. it seems to me that the starting planet doesn't have any predators at all. I expected some bear like predators, but so far nothing in sight. You started out several times, is the first planet always predator-free?Right, that was the Beyond 2.0 update, so you've basically missed Synthesis, Living Ship, Exo Mech, Crossplay, Desolation, Companions, Expeditions and Prisms updates.

We all know that's a big Porkie pie, they simply don't like Yamiks because he's hyper critical, while (up until recently) every other content creator may have occasionally been critical, but would have generally towed the line. You see that kind of behaviour more frequently with film reviews, where, given particularly Disney's dominance, if you are too critical you'll get frozen out of any press access. Unfortunately, as a result, you're left with a situation whereby most film reviewers are now little more than shill sock puppets and you see an imbarrassing disconnect between critic and user reviews.
Now, FDev is no Disney, and the situation for the space games market is nowhere near as bad, but where it comes to Yamiks, they were clearly playing the same game.
I still remember the Captain Marvel fiasgo.
Not always no, but if you start on a planet that does, you just abandon it and start again (well I do anyway!).
I've noticed in recent versions that you don't typically get hassled by sentinels or predators on the early planets, so they've made that part a bit easier. Still happens sometimes though. There's also a scripted storm on the first planet that will kill you if you're unprepared for it.

The funny thing was, it was so transparent and obvious what FDev did (not least because Yamiks did a rant video to camera about it) that it backfired on FDev and helped Yamiks. His subscriber rate shot up, because people started to perceive they were being manipulated & knew Yamiks would be honest because he hadn't been "bought". It gave him notoriety and mystique... and put seeds of doubt in other people's minds about the authenticity & honesty of other Youtubers that passed the "Frontier Test".
He was always going to say what he thought anyway - and was always going to get an alpha key even if he wasn't given one by FDev. So, they couldn't stop him reviewing it or making videos about it. It's also a fair indication that FDev knew exactly how broken and unfinished Odyssey was before it was released, and they were scared of what he would say about it... because he doesn't hold back.
