I probably play one hour a month.. So that makes me an "active" player? Huh. Well I guess I can give y'all my opinion more than ever!

I played for nearly 2 hours today. Super active.

I probably won't upgrade to Odyssey unless we get a PS5 enhanced version of the game. Which is looking not that likely at the moment.

Does Odyssey attract you back into the franchise?

Based on what I've seen so far, no.

But everyone demanded ED be turned into a first-person shooter. Can't blame Frontier for given everyone exactly what they wanted.

(That's not sarcasm, no no, I have no idea how to do sarcasm, never ever do it, no.)

On foot gamplay was always on the cards since the Kick Starter. It wasn't a demand from players.

Game?

I don't have time for such fripperies when there are people on this forum I can offend just by my avatar appearing in a thread...

That would be such a waste of time...

(but only this account has been active today...)

Forum hull ramming has it's merits

Looking at that image makes me wonder, when is someone gonna do a modern version of Mercenary!

I’m hoping that we might already have that game inbound...

(maybe Elite will need more populated worlds, but I reckon we’ll not be too far off with Odyssey)

I don't believe anyone has asked ED to be turned in to a FPS, and thankfully, Odyssey doesn't do that either.

It's old age, a little confusion between space games...
What he obviously meant was that everyone has been clamouring to make Space Engineers a FPS and being a new Frontier, a bit like the "Wild West"

(No, that isn't sarcasm either, no sirreee
