Nerd Cubed FW Elite Dangerous - cringeworthy

[drkaii]

If you are interested in this game, there's no way you'd give up just because it's hard to figure out. In many ways this game is great because it doesn't hold your hand and if anything, tries to be a world, in the sense that just like in the real world, there isn't some quick course that teaches you everything you need to know, and you have to use intelligence and deduction to work out a lot of it.

Which is weird that Nerd bashes that - he normally hates hand holding in games.

But yes, clearly he has no interest in the game, or is expecting it to be something else, so the difficulty of access is a problem rather than a refreshment

He's just giving an unfettered, uninformed opinion, based upon apparently zero experience of the game. That might be how quite a few new players feel after jumping in. Pretty much everyone here reacting to this with scorn/amusement will have had past interest in, or experience with, space games. They may have years worth of knowledge of the Elite series in particular, or they may not. Either way, most of us did our research due to a previous interest in the genre, and have probably played the game more than a little. We're not the target audience for this guy's video - unless he's just trying to troll a notoriously sensitive crowd of gamers, which this one definitely is.

But it was posted here, ergo we became the audience.

cringeworthy? Why, because he hit the nail on the head?
