One of the worst video game developments I have ever seen, I do not recommend buying this game. The base game Elite Dangerous was offered with the feature: "To be able to play online in a live galaxy with other players, with specific PC requirements". These terms were fulfilled in the base game Elite Dangerous.
Subsequently, the "DLC" Horizon was created, with the same characteristics: "Being able to play online in a live galaxy with other players, with specific PC requirements that were the same as in the base game". With the difference that now you were going to be able to descend to planets. Up to this point it was fine.
They had the worst idea to make the DLC, a base game and merge both versions into one, with the 3.0 video game engine, although this merger was not so serious, as it was still respecting the terms and conditions of allowing users to continue playing a live galaxy with other players and with the same requirements. Player actions were still interacting with the live one.
However, there was already a mistake by the development team to make a DLC, the base game, which could not be disabled and did modify the base game preferences. An evidence that the Elite Dangerous development team does not understand that it is a DLC, which, if deactivated, should not modify the features of the base game, nor change its gameplay rules, nor its gameplay. The base game and the Horizon DLC were offered with the promise that: "Players would be able to play in a live galaxy with other players also on Consoles under the same requirements". However, they already started to not meet the requirements, because due to bugs, it was not playable with the presented features.
They had the lousy idea to present the Odyssey DLC and the 4.0 engine, which in no way can be called an "Update" to the base game. They lied to console players that they were also going to be able to play the Odyssey DLC in a live galaxy with other players, etc.
This crap they created, which cannot be called DLC, since it is not a complement to the base game and a mod or addon to the game engine, but a new engine that leaves out and restricts features of the base game Elite Dangerous, and even with its Horizon DLC, interfering with its normal operation, left without the feature of "Playing a live galaxy with other players and with the same requirements". Instead, they did not have the best idea at this stage to create a Legacy version excluding the game engine and the other versions from the feature of being able to play in a live galaxy with other players and that their actions could have influences on the live one, thus failing to comply with their main terms and conditions.
THE WORST OF ALL, WITH THIS DLC, IS THAT THEY DIRECTLY CANCELED IT ON CONSOLES, RIPPING OFF THOUSANDS OF USERS AND LEAVING THE DEAD LEGACY VERSION, BOTH WITHOUT UPDATES, BOTH FOR THE BASE GAME AND HORIZON, AND ABSOLUTELY BREAKING THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
Apparently these people do not understand or do not know how to distinguish what is a DLC, from a base game, from a full game with new engine and mix everything in the same concept that ends up making them pay the users in disgrace. Since no DLC can modify if deactivated or not, the main features of the base game, i.e. Elite Dangerous and Horizon, nor deactivate it, can modify the features of your other DLC. But, however, the Oddysey DLC does and throws the others overboard.
Of course, the deception that FDev do is to offer you a version of Horizon with the new graphic engine, but that leaves out for its high requirements all the other users of the previous versions, who can no longer play even with the main features of the game, this being a real scam, since it is only a DLC, supposedly a DLC, although it acts as if it were not and in reality is presented as a new game, with a new graphics engine that limits the features of the base game and the other DLC.
For that reason, they have not only annihilated with the console players and have insulted them in the face, they also annihilated with the DLC, although you can not call this crap DLC, with the players of the previous versions, that is, they killed the players of the base game, also of the Horizon DLC, they annihilated their own terms and conditions and want to force them to have to buy a better PC to play what is supposedly a DLC. Sure, if they want to continue playing with the features they were previously promised they were going to be able to play and now find that they are not.
I will not expose the egregious errors that the game and its graphics engine has, that instead of being fixed, with this new graphics engine and DLC, which does not act as DLC, but as a new game with a new graphics engine, which limits with the previous one. Because they are really many and very long to expose, as a lousy transition from one galaxy to another that seem two different and discordant animations, the atrocious when entering the planets that seems that the ship was paused and floating in the nothingness, kinetic bullets that go faster than the bullets of an energy sniper rifle, being that energy is equal to the speed of light, a sniper rifle that only have a zoom, like a common rifle, etc...
The misfortunes in this game is absolutely complete and worst of all, is that you do not know which way the Fdev team wants to go, finding every month with an unplanned whim of the Frontier team that evidently does not know which way they want to go. They have totally lost focus and no longer know how to distinguish what is a DLC, from a base game, from a full game, they have mixed it all up and created a salad full of errors and contrariness, which only serves to lose users on each platform that is offered, instead of adding them. The worst of all is that they don't care about the mistakes, nor do they care about fixing the atrocious path they have taken, they only care about a story.
