And if you are young, young enough not to have played the original Elite games, I'm curious - what draws you to Elite Dangerous? This is a sincere question, as I think many of us older folk (I am old enough to have played Elite on C64 as a kid) play at least partially out of nostalgia.
You mean like chess? Yeah, stupid old game, it won't last another thousand years the way it's going.I don't think it makes much sense to judge a new game based on the standards of a by-gone era.
That right here is a young one!I don't think it makes much sense to judge a new game based on the standards of a by-gone era.
na, fam im like 20, dabsSomeone posted the following in another thread of mine (abbreviated):
This, along with various other threads and photos from the meet-ups make me wonder if we are all "Old Ducks" playing this game. Ironically I'm actually relatively young compared to many in this forum. My "Old Duck" PSN name was in relation to the average demographic on the Playstation - so when I'm playing Overwatch or Fortnite, the "Old Duck" is very fitting (and earns me some good laughs), whereas I'm beginning to think that I'm a "Young Rooster" when it comes to Elite Dangerous.
I do find the "ED on PS4 is better than Elite on Commodore 64, so what's all the fuss about bugs and graphics?" mentality to be a bit frustrating. If ED is played mostly by a bunch of old guys happy it's better than the C64, then it probably will never rise to the expectations of this "Young Rooster". After all, the original Elite had flickering graphics, so why complain about the terrible flickering shadows on PS4?

I played The Witcher 2+3 and Max Payne 2 (didn't play the 3rd part though). They are nice games, saying they suck is probably a bit harsh. But in the end they are still just modern versions of their predecessors.OOoh.. you're missing out by avoiding a few sequels from that list.. Max Payne 2 is a thing a beauty, same with witcher 2 + 3.. though 2 is skippable by todays standards certainly.. definitely not 3. Witcher 1 was one of those games of its time, but i find it kinda crap today. Witcher 3 i was so impressed at how brave they are telling story.. specifically the content itself and the duration of the dialogue and cutscenes. It is a few years old now though so wouldn't be surprised if they're doing that more since. If you're quite in witcher lore, id recommend 2 after 3. They have a narrative style of not filling in the blanks and just assuming you're the character, so the more you can soak up before playing 2 the better.
i like elite.. ff7 showed me what an rpg was. by chance for me, elite showed me what a sandbox was.. linear experiences are tough once you get it.
