we'd probably still be where we belong if there was less me shutting up and less you discussing disgusting potato chip and cheese flavors, obscure local tv actors and whatever other nonsense you get up to that has nothing to do with either players / the game / cats or who's bacon is the right bacon.

Don't worry, narcissism fades as you get older, particularly in to your teens.

Dooooom!

Seriously though, I think you're wrong because, ironically, of the Steamcharts. They showed that a LOT of people really want to play ED, but aren't currently doing so - peak player count up by a factor of 4-5x. There's definitely a market for ED expansions and if FDev can do a better job of tapping into that (and not release a steaming pile of garbage next time) then there's still money to be made. The fact that they're still adding content to ED and EDO shows they haven't given up hope yet of turning things around. If EDO was to be the last expansion, they'd already have binned the console release - otherwise it's just a waste of effort.

I don't think people should underestimate how much it means to Our Lord and Saviour Brebus. It is his baby, and what put him on the map. The other side of things is that a "complete reboot" would bin off the kickstarters and LEP owners - and they're at a point now where they wouldn't need to kickstart it, instead just release it as a new game ("We told you we'd give you everything for the lifetime of Elite Dangerous, that life is now over, soz") so more monies coming in.

And honestly, I'd be alright with the toxicity of the current release disappearing into mists of time with a reboot of sorts, and I say that as a beta backer with an LEP. A new game, new engine, picking up from where this left off, designed and built with non-potato hardware in mind, with all the features the various focused feedback threads have been asking about, and shag it toss in the oul' ship interiors and other bits.

(For the record, I genuinely don't believe this is actually in the works at the minute. But I wouldn't write them off changing tack to this sort of direction at some point... maybe even offering it out to another studio to develop under the Foundry)

it's not so much that i'm saying my comments and only mine would have saved it..just that mine are frequently on topic in some way in the course of a day and yours aren't (at least not in the last thousand pages or so as there's been fewer and fewer threads to mock). and more of what isn't is how we got here, so me not shutting up and you doing more of it would have been better. that and i'm sure getting the attention of all of the mods recently didn't help. so yea.. You suck. It's something i've heard people learn to accept when they grow older and realize they aren't awesome. long after their mid-life crisis. You can tell because your choice of bacon is is wrong and you drink from the cup of Brabus which hath spilleth over with bad lighting and lack of any console flavor.

but being on topic isn't a thing now so ...whatevs. A new thread will be needed...though I doubt anything will reach the magnitude of greatness that was SoTG. Sequels rarely do. The Forum game has entered it's slow descent into ambivalent apathetic threads and comments. It's only hope of avoiding doom is if everyone is wrong.

But everyone is wrong. Nobody can know the Truth. We are all centres of our respective universes, yet never able to fully comprehend them. We go forwards through life, but are facing backwards, limited by the ranges of our senses and in your case, the puniness of the brain. The old paradox of living.

it's significantly slower in EDO than horizons. Forcing you to either suffer low framerate and the accompanying strain / sickness caused by that or lower quality settings. saying they're the same is ridiculous. Even in empty space the difference in performance is easily measurable and very noticeable.

Ah, the gift that keeps on giving...

EDO has performance issues, did you know that? Of course not, it would require removing your head from that warm, smelly, dark place!

Now, rather than obfuscate the point with your peurile maunderings, at which you truly are a master, bates...

The statement I made is that VR in Odyssey is exactly the same as that in Horizons... which, naturally, you chose to ignore and deviate into another of your pointless ramblings.

VR in EDO is the same implementation as Horizons... Does that clarify it for you?
