There's probably alot of people who never played or even heard of Elite and they'll think it's Skyrim with space ships so I started to wonder.
-How many new players will fail to dock for at least 10 times?
-How many new players will think this game controls like NMS and it has more "pew pew" in it and act that way
-How many new players will nose dive into a planet surface when they try to land?

I was thinking.

How many players have seen a PS One?
How many of said players would remember Elite 84?
How many PS players in general have heard of 'tutorials'?

To be fair, I am a little nervous on how the control scheme will turn out.

LOL, no, that's why I included the winky face. We PS4 folk are a jolly bunch (except Stormy). Now in the Dangerous Discussions, they might eat you for lunch! I'm missing limbs for "thinking" over there.

ps - I'm just teasing, Stormy!

ED is a game that requires its players to REALLY want to play it; a polar opposite to say Astroid or Galaga where gameplay is intuitive. Approximately 70% of players will buy it knowing what it is they're getting into, a Han Solo simulator. The rest will blindly stumble into LHS 3447 and be thrown to the wolves of both the prepared player base and the rigors of the game. This will be known as the noob culling, where perhaps 10% of that 30% will persevere and join the ranks amongst us. The remaining lot will fail to realize the nature of the game they purchased and not make it 20 ly. Some of those might make the fatal mistake of opening up small pulse lasers into a veterans shields or into an AI near a station. Either way after a month of this the stream of incompetents will wither to a trickle, and the galaxy will settle into its natural order.

I'll be grinding quickly towards a class A multi cannon equipped Viper MkIII and bountyhunting the RES closest to start, waiting.

Getting and or giving is the easy part; Following it is a whole different thing.

Well, Don't hurt yourself j/k

I can really relate and I am guessing most players really can also. its also possible for experienced players to make mistakes also. I played in PC very close to launch. Yup I bumped around in a station myself. gotten blown up by station security inside a station. Ran out of fuel exploring causing my ship to go boom. I have never landed on a planet in Elite I expect that will take a little time to lean on PS4. I just hope for more bouncing and no booms! :eek: Maybe its a right to passage to the next level.

A lot of new player will look at the trailers and not be expecting the grind to earn credits. But i have read its much easier now than at launch.

Agreed, The best thing about coming to the ED party this late is that there are already videos and tools available for the PS4 playerbase. A grind is a grind, its only bad if you make it that way.
