Et tu, Old Duck?

Well, I finally did it - I pulled the trigger and ordered myself a PC powerful enough to run ED. The main reason for this "defection" is for productivity reasons - there is work that I do that will benefit from a more powerful computer than this 2012 MacBook I'm currently on. I also find myself playing less and less games as I get older. That's not to say that I'm gaming less, but rather that I play just a couple of games while the rest sit on my PS4 collecting dust. ED is one of those games I still play despite all its flaws, and once I move to PC, a number of those flaws should go away.

My PS+ subscription runs out early Spring, and when it does, I see no reason to renew it. This means I'll effectively disappear from the PS4 universe (ED), though maybe not forever. I'm still interested in the PS5, but I won't be buying it on launch day. I spent more than enough $$ on this computer to last me a few years. I'll likely wait until the PS5 Slim comes out. I'm keeping CMDR OneOldDuck in stasis (no account transfer) just in case.

Once my PC arrives and I get it all customized and ED installed, I'll update this thread with my impressions. Ironic that I've given Frontier even more money, but I really do enjoy the game buried under all these bugs. Hopefully a PC will at least fix the graphic issues that have plagued me personally for almost two years now.


ps - My wife was surprisingly supportive of me getting this PC. It means she will get more time on our PS4! (She's a NMS fan herself.)

Good luck Old Duck, I do hope this resolves some of the persistent issues the Playstation version has suffered that we have witnessed. Will be interesting to read your comments on those points.

Me and my cockpit cat will continue to explore the universe on console.

I personally will not be returning to PC gaming having given up fully around 2015-ish.

I will be going PS5 when it arrives. Whatever Frontier provides for that avenue, I shall explore.

Fly safe one and all, commander earthtone99 out.

I don't actively track players full stop lol. Well, one guy, but thats because he has no stones and badmouths everyone behind thier backs but want to "All get along" when actually dealing with players.

However if you want to roll on up to shinny at some point...

I must admit that I'm tempted, but I've already spent way more money that I originally planned back when I was posting threads titled "Sell me on PS4 Pro." It may be awhile before the wife agrees to more money spent on me. She's already using this laptop as leverage for her own spending ideas, LOL.

Sounds strangely familiar :p
Looking forward to listen to your experience. Im tempted to switch to pc my self, but then only for VR ability. And that would set me back way more than my missus could handle...
Good luck and fly safe
