Horizons ED is the greatest space game ever created, who's with me?

A cross between Freelancer and Elite dangerous Horizons would beat it hands down.
ED has a heap of crap stuff and Freelancer is very light on!

Put 'em together ......... Hey, can somebody mod this up? I'd pay big for a game like that.

Rrobes, don't tell me you are missing out on the Witcher 3, Skyrim, 3 STALKER games and ... whatever!

When I play, I play ONE game until I lose interest, hasn't happened yet here.

Besides, I would miss all the scintillating repartee that flows through this forum.:cool:

Jumps to Maia got to you from your other post, are you still of the same opinion?

Or did you have a bout of Witch Space fever? People are known to go a little "unbalanced" shall we say, when afflicted.[yesnod]

ED is the greatest space game ever created, that doesn't mean it's perfect. There's so much I love about the game and a few things that seem ridiculous. So ya, it's still great, but sure could use a lot in some areas.
 
Nope, TIE fighter still holds that crown, XW Alliance in 2nd, Freespace 1+2 in joint third. Elite comes 4th in my book.

Now a game like Elite based in the SW galaxy.....hubbah.

I'm with you, pretty much. Sort of. Sometimes it's a giggle, sometimes I have to log off before I say something I shouldn't.
 
You'll hear no arguments from me. I'd actually go further and say it's easily the single best computer game (of any description) that I've ever played.

I see your point. And loved both Tie Fighter and Alliance big time.
But the lack of a Sandbox galaxy- the lack of a free to explore environment, that is- is always going to put them behind Elite.
Plus I still think that Independence War 2 was basically the best until Elite: Dangerous showed up.

It had the scale, the story, the freedom, the modding, the management, the speed and the Newtonian FM. Hell, still worth a play now!
 
I mostly agree. ED is the best Space Sim for me so far. I keep on playing it since beta. However, there are areas which could be improved (missions etc.). I'm looking forward to planetary landing on planets with atmosphere and walking around my ship and stations.

How can it be the greatest when it fails at instancing, Engineers, launched fighters, weapons, and basic space physics?

Instancing works. Maybe not to everyone's satisfaction all the time, but it works.
Engineers work.
Launched fighters work.
Weapons - let me check..... Pew, Pew.... yeah, they work.
Basic space physics - this is not the game you are looking for. Try Kerbal maybe?

Additionally if you had bothered to read the thread you would have seen this:

then it's the best sandbox Space game. ;)
 
gta series and gta v for myself.....a total package of a sandbox open world game that should be a benchmark of basic openworld mechanics.

ED is deffo the best space cockpit game though...no doubt...(rogue system has more buttons to press though and is a sim)..
until another space game releases with all those wonderfull gta style mechanics that i banged about.


its what i expect anyway.
