First bad press coming starting to arrive!

A great review here that summarizes the issues very well.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Review | Attack of the Fanboy

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is brimming with potential, but an armada of bugs and issues prevent it from surviving the landing.

GameStar, Germany's leading gaming magazine, reviewed Odyssey and gave it a whooping 35/100.
Their verdict: "Unfinished, overpriced, meaningless, technically weak, poor gameplay mechanics."

And no, they don't usually rate games that badly.

For the German speakers (and Umlaut aficionados ):

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey haut unseren Tester um, aber nicht wie erhofft

Die neueste Erweiterung zu Elite Dangerous lässt euch Planeten endlich zu Fuß erkunden, macht aber ansonsten so ziemlich alles falsch.

Doesn't let me read it all with adblock, but I take the verdict, sounds about right.

True, but at least, he is fully aware of his noobness

We should put this next to the Schicksalsklinge review from 2014

What I mean is: why would they?
Makes no sense at all.
The conclusion "they did it deliberately" doesn't work because it doesn't make sense. It's a very nice one to jump at and vent rage though.

Bless your innocence. That they rush out a product, 12 days before the end of their financial year? No, that makes no sense at all - what possible reason would they have for doing that..?
