yeah yeah toxicstar

M8 no harm to ye, but yer beginning to sound like a bitter 12 year old struggling with their hormones...catch a grip kid ^

They didnt win because they didnt evolve enough as a game to win...boo hoo get over it and yerself. Its confirming what many on this forum have been saying...the game is not evolving enough to win prizes. Thats not being toxic...thats simply pointing out the obvious which you fail utterly to comprehend.

Anyway enough...andromeda awaits ^

Hate to be another one, but - Seriously, some of you actually thought this game had some chance of winning anything? I like the game, but it's hardly award winning.

But what do I know, I've only been banging on about it's shortcomings for oh, ever?

What's 'eve'? What's 'dank' ( other than a taste of Belgian or saison in a beer)? Stop comparing your willies and play yer games..Me...Off to colonia.
Awards? I didn't get an award for inventing glow under UV light beer bottle prints. My beers on the other hand...Shlurptastic. go and watch a bit of blind pews hilarious exploits and calm down. Or hammer me at cqc , everyone does. Nighty night kids!

Elite as an MMO has a history of less than 3 years...its has not been an MMO before whereas eve has been an MMO from the first day it launched. Elites heritage is 30 years old but comparing it as an MMO is just a fail...because as an MMO ED fails and eve does not.

And it didnt win any awards because like I said yesterday...it simply doesnt deserve to, and no amount of salt from the fanbois is gonna change that ^
I think you forget Elite not a full blown MMO. That only for open mode and that tend to be pvp which not everyone cup of tea. But what elite excelled at is making a live Universe that Both Open or Solo can play and maybe change over time. So I don't think ED failed at something that is not. That is it not a true MMO like Eve.

Eve MMO

Elite Dangerous User choice PvP or SOLO or private server.

Open is not pvp mode. I have flown in open probably 50 percent of the time in the game and not engages in anything but occasional defence against the dark arts.

I HAVE however winged up with strangers, spoken to fellow commanders and had a cracking laugh in open. Please don't perpetuate this idea that open is a pvp gankfest. It really isn't.
 
Good shot at starting a constructive debate Bran.

I think a ED's failure to win the category shows where we are in the games development commercially speaking. The games industry is fiercely competitive as each publisher is competing for the pocket money of a very fickle audience. Today's generation quickly get bored if a game does not push all the right buttons fast enough. I am not having a go at anyone, I'm just saying it how it is. It is an issue of the modern age.

Frontier are attempting to walk a commercial tightrope. Sitting on one end of the pole you have those of us who have the long term interests of the game at our hearts. On the other end of the pole you have the bank manager demanding new customers. He's a heavy bloke that bank manager!

I expect the current focus on the pew pew aspect of the game is driven largely by the commercial necessity of bringing in new players. I expect the deal struck with the consoles also drove development in certain areas. I am not criticising pew pew either. It is one part of the game that is as important as all the others.

I look forward to the time when the rest of the game gets attention. The core mechanics, the mission systems, exploration, trading, mining or whatever. A time when the aesthetics and pew pew can be put on the back burner. It will be this day that ED will win the awards. Until that day it is not worthy of most categories.

My final point is that ED has one thing that no other game has to my knowledge and it really should be exploited more. That is the recreation of our Galaxy that is our playground. At the end of each session, I set my ship into a spin and then watch the stars swirl around me. I lose myself for a while, dreaming of the countless worlds and civilisations out there. Each star circled by a collection of planets which in turn could host some exotic lifeforms. This alone is worth every penny I spent and this alone is why I keep playing.

I hear they are front runner for most Devolving Game (especially in the graphics category).

Would you rather make the game more accessible to the majority of people with lower end PC's, or, would you rather make the game a place where only people with GTX 1080Ti's in SLI can have a playable experience... Please think of those with lower end PC's. If you want to make your GFX better while not hurting people with low end hardware, use EDFX or a similar thing. It may not be the same, but it sure does help.
