Need a laugh?

Plenty of people on PC play with just an Xbox 360 controller....and the New xbox one controller is suppose to be even better. There are no issues playing the game without a $400 flightstick.

Yeah but look down at your ship controls ... it's a stick.
I'm just accentuating the realism. :cool:
 
One one hand, I don't want to laugh at him, but on the other hand, I knew how to read the scanner from day one, without help xD

It looks pretty hard to ignore. Much worse than my first try, but he did have to deal with crappy gimballed guns. I only use fixed unless it's the Clipper or Cobra C1s :)

I also fondly remember entering the 1v1 with Crimson Triumph and getting destroyed. That's still a hard fight today, he's not competent I tell you! He's elite!

Not to worry. Poster will be in an Anaconda by next week or will be here asking why not.

And with as many as are probably coming on Xbox, FD will be sure to cater to them and dumb it sown so they can be Elite in 2 weeks.

EDIT:

LOL - They are already starting...

Yep, us chimps that play console games as we slap our controls with our hands waiting to grow opposable thumbs will all come on here making crazy demands and claming that FD don't care about us and that everything be changed to our very specific demands lest we rage quit. Unlike us PC gamers who are completely reasonable...... oh wait.....
 
Looks to me like a perfectly good example of someone acclimatising themselves to the game's controls, and yeah, he's doing better than I did when I first played. What's to laugh at?
 
It's his first try at the game to be fair he didn't do so bad. Don't you ever remember those embarrassing scrapes on the landing pad floor and the times you accidentally shot a friendly? I do :3
 
That Video only goes to tell that the Class 1 Gimbal Multicannon has severe issues targeting Objects smaller than ~1.5m even from 350-400m Range ;)
Yeah, as nice as it is to have gimballed weapons for the tutorial missions, against cargo canisters they're more a hindrance than a help. Better to turn off your targeting computer and pretend they're womp rats.
 
Like others have mentioned, I dont understand the ridicule. Looks like an honest newbie's attempt at figure out the controls. Keep in mind this is on a Xbox controller. As for wanting to post on youtube, maybe they just wanted others to have a look at gameplay. There's no attempt at bragging here. I understand everyones upset on Xbox getting CQC before PC users get a crack at it, but be kind to the new players.
 
Not everyone can bullseye Womp Rats in a T-16 one day, and then blow up the Death Star by the end of the week. Though the way some of those Xboners are shooting, you'd think they were Stormtroopers in a former life. :D
 
Are they really starting with 100,000 creds in the bank?? Wow, that's like 1000 times what I started with :D

EDIT: The first couple of days after release it was 100 cr balance at start, just like the old game. I think it's 1000 now?

It's pretty much standard for beta testing, as I understand it - there's only so much of the game you can explore on 1000 credits.

Anyway, that's pretty much chicken feed - you could make that much in about half an hour through missions, even starting out Harmless in a Sidewinder.
