This game just gets better

Sigh... I have been playing since beta as well. It is depressing when folks that don't want to enjoy something feel the need to bring everyone else down. If it is that bad stop playing. Some of us are just enjoying it.

Now now then, don't take peoples' Eeyoreing away from them with your "having fun"; that's rude.
 
How about you stop that . Every one of us disapointed players have had the same reaction as the OP at first. The game is awesome at first in some aspects.
And then the realization that ED is a pretty screensaver, but nothing else.

How about you stop with that <load of potatoes>.

Er no. Your argument: space is boring because its black here, but also here. I'm sorry about the lack of Death Stars.

People are posting about seeing interesting things. You are posting about how dull you think everything is and thus off topic and just trolling.

It's a shame some people feel the need to do that. However rep to anyone who has expressed dissatisfaction elsewhere and chose not to bring it here.

I've lost count of the times I've resolved to resist going for a heyuugge 4k monitor to salivate even more over how good it looks.
 
I feel sorry for anyone who is jaded by the sights in ED. Yes, there's repetition and similarities, same as with nature on earth - trees all pretty much look the same, right? It's how the pieces work together, sometimes even in their absence. That's the beauty of it...

I've seen dirt and water and plants and animals in various combinations already. Give me something NEW; this Earth thing is played out.

I still get the wow moment flying around for a bit and then opening the galaxy map and zooming out thinking, "man, this is unbelievabllyrics huge". We are just a lititle spec just in our OWN galaxy. :)
 
I love this game.

Sometimes I will intentionally come out of supercruise and put everything on low power so as not to be detectable. I will sit back and take in the views. I grab a hot chocolate from down stairs. After sitting for a while the game follows suit and a reflective music kicks in that allows you to appreciate the vistas all around. I sit back and this Captain of his hard earned craft kicks back and thinks of the whole day. I can only imagine (so far) what having the occulus rift would be like (I probably would have problems drinking my hot chocolate!).

I think those that come to the game with the same sense of imagination, awe, excitement of those of us who played the 80s original and immerse yourself are able to fully appreciate what this game has to offer.

The issue with the negative posts I've seen embedded in this post and others like it is this-every ones entitled to their own opinion but- it is posted here to dampen others enthusiasm for the game and they can't conceive that anyone has a different opinion to their own- everyone MUST have the same view as them or else they are in denial.

To me this is narrow minded- the same kind of lack of imagination and narrow mindedness that cant appreciate the game.

Hey all.. Just want to say that this game keeps getting better for me. I have always wanted to travel from system to system and daydreamed of how since I was young. Growing up in Eastern Maine and watching the aurora will do that to folks. Plus I grew up in the age of Carl Sagan and Cosmos. I have been going from trade to bounty hunter as the mood strikes and last week decided to move into exploration. I am so glad I did. Where else can you find sights like this??? Skimming the rings of a ringed planet at close range. And a view of the milky way in the background. AWESOME!!!!!! Now I am thinking about hooking my rig up to our 52" flatscreen to see what that would look like. lol.. the wife will kill me..


There is some really nice scenery out there. Good luck with the TV(and wife). Let us know how it works out.
 
@jukelo... Forum sycophant huh. Strong words methinks and not at all accurate. But peace to you anyway and have some positive rep!
 
I just wanted to add my voice to the awe that this games inspires in me , I still get a kick out of jumping to hyperspace. I mean every time, even trading is special to me. And the soundscape...really I just love it to bits. Reading these forums some times is like everyone else is playing a different game to me.

You just keep trolling every thread, hm?

He needs a telling off, theres two things you cant Troll ED on:

1. General space flight and docking mechanics
2. The visuals

Oh my.. I set up on the 52" last night. And yes it was amazing. the wife was hot for a bit then started looking... she was even impressed with the scenery.

i use a 32" monitor normally. was wondering about the three monitor setup. nice job Asp Explorer. that looks like the ticket..
 
To Op, my dad use to play this to death, I watched the series with my dad it was about the only programme we both liked (it also inspired Brian Cox), apart from Match of the Day and Question of Sport!
