E:D - The Thinking Persons Game

[lasvideo]

At 70 years old Ive played a lot of video games in my life. And I can honestly say that in my experience ED demands a lot of intelligence on the players part. From figuring out HOTAS setup to flying into ports in VR to following all the guidelines in Power Play 2.0. And thats just for starters. I feel like Im back in college when I have to reference all the third party websites to do a particular challenge. I like that its not a mindless arcade shooter. Even in battle thought is needed in arming and synchronizing all the ships key functions. ED demands we be smart... or die.

That's nice and all, but how is this a "suggestion"?

I think he's suggesting that dumb people need not apply.

It also seems the average ED player age is... higher.

Yup, it gives us "cognitive reserve".
