It's certainly the opinion of someone who never played SC and who, like many here, have a hard time acknowledging it's already superior to Elite in many aspects. Gameplay included. Those who give it a real go think otherwise.
Ok so now Hawkes is back enjoying ED…
Should I do that too?
I just need more random people on the internet to tell me how to think and feel…

8:29 - "Let's go for a reasonably priced ship, for about a thousand Dollars"
No... That's not "reasonably priced"
Oh the "$5,000,000,000 Flying Window" video is a good one, he seems to be really enjoying it.
More power to him if he can produce entertaining content with it and have fun doing so. That's worth more than whatever "opinion" and it's what games should be about.
But back on the gameplay loops topic. The 2 videos bellow showcase, in a short and direct way, the most popular "professions" to have fun and make credits:
To be fair , some of that does look interesting, although still not enough to tempt me back in. Is/was there ever going to be career progression within SC itself? I personally like the rank/level part of ED, despite the fact it has little impact in the game.
My memory may be getting a little foggy, as it has been roughly 5 years since my refund and 9 since my initial pledge, but I thought that it was mentioned that you would be able to play SQ42 then carry that over to SC. Or did I imagine that bit ? I lose track of what was promised, what was scrapped etc.
Also I think the definition of several is (edit) MORE than two. Not two
The original pitch was you would play SQ42 which would grant you like your military acolades, and then you'd enter the online world.
But of course, this was back when they were still talking about drop-in/drop-out coop play, private servers, and modding... buy hey, things change yo!
Yep precisely. It's about personal enjoyment. Which is why your attempts to tagline these videos as "SC is already superior to X in many aspects. Gameplay included." is so silly. Fun is personal. Gameplay merit is personal. It's all pretty damn subjective.
All you're doing with these incessant repostings is reiterating that you like gameplay X / feature Y / game Z. And that's nice. But it isn't the global fact that you seem to think it is.
For example:
- I think SC's FPS mechanics and weapon roster on foot are properly decent for an MMO. But I also think that its desync issues and woefully uneven AI undercut that plus significantly, putting it in the negative pile overall.
- I could happily while away some time trucking & mining in SC. But it would also grind my gears to lose any short-term progress due to overt bugginess, and any long-term progress due to alpha wipes. That also dumps it into the negative pile overall for me.
- Personally I value gameplay content over vibe. A pretty atmospheric planet which is mainly good for tooling around with your mates aimlessly, for example, holds scant appeal to me.
- I only play games in VR
I could go on, for quite a long time as it happens, but you get the picture right?
That's conclusive global proof that you and I are different people
Or to put it another way.... If I said: "VR games are superior to all flatscreen games in many aspects. Gameplay included."
Would that be a global fact? Or really just my opinion

Let us hope he is a sensible random person. Unlike this one...
I must admit...I like half life Alyx...I'm trying my mate Badger's VR rig out for a few days.Yep precisely. It's about personal enjoyment.

Besides wrecking the Mole cave by falling over my PC chair and pulling the curtains off the rail... or nearly knocking myself unconscious on the edge of the desk after bending over to pick a pistol magazine off the virtual floor. Playing standing up waving my arms about and knocking monitors off the desk is a distinctly hazardous and damaging pursuit.
I've made up my mind that VR gaming is more dangerous than my old job of jumping out of aeroplanes

Not sure which particular quote you are referring to but in the context of the discussion here about if SC is indeed the “BDSSE”, “able to compete with any AAA out there” or if SC fidelity “breaks new ground” etc etc (never mind the discussion about CIG and Chris Roberts continuous misrepresentation and potential fraud), personal and anecdotal fun accounts are indeed irrelevant and quite meh to be honest. Hope you agree?I will never forget the "fun is not relevant" I've heard once here
I don’t think anyone here argues that some people can have fun with SC. Heck even games more barebones or broken than SC can have their fans.
