Well maybe
In 1984 Elite was cool. It had loads of new stuff and was well packaged. In that gaming Era it stood out.
It had rocking 3d graphics and to be fair right now it doenst have anything quite as realitvely good. The grpahcie right now are well okay but noting special. I mean on a eye candy level not on a technical level. Elite in 1984 deliverd both. Maybe Im not impressed by seeing a big yellow sun in deep space every 2 minutes of travel. But I hope you get my gist. Nothing special or ground breaking about teh visuals.
Next up was the steep lurning curve. Thsi game is hard. Well Im still playing key board only since 1984 (no mouse) and its not hard, not even slighlty hard. It can be very repetative. The original game was too (pac man, pong etc). However, games like pac man , pong had increasing levels of difficulty. ED doesnt. It kind of goes along the lines of let em thnk they are geting better and just pitch stuff at them so the player never feels they have got anywhere and tries harder. So basically the lurning curve is over in a a week or two.
So its as pretty as perhaps a mediocre 3d game can be. Technically excellent but mostly a loading screen, a docking pad and some combat agsinst ships that appear really tiny (licek smaller than a coin).
Music , nicely done but also really bad implemented. No cool homeworld sound track. No pac man waka waka waka. I play with teh audio switched off. Its great audio but not very meaingulf and feeel like patch work incedintals taht could be better.
Im not slattinft the game. One thin I trully love about it is that Im more or less using the same keybaord layut as I did in 1984 and thats a nice thing for me. So thsi isnt about slatting the game.
If teh aim was to be a mediocre offering it has succeeded because a lot of people are hooked.
Wha is the special something the game has that keeps people playing it?
Has it been developed and delivered to a strangely accessible level of mediocrity that leave you wanting, like lukewarm water when you need a drink on a hot day?
Dont mind me, just rambling after some drinks.
