What keeps you playing?

Zaerion · Jan 4, 2015

I have obsessive-compulsive disorder , that keeps me playing it.

Katkon · Jan 4, 2015

The scale of the universe, the look'n feel of the game and core gameplay mechanics. Oh, and the community - generally speaking.

I love not knowing what I will find. I haven't been to a single system twice since Gamma was released!

if after a few hours of playing you dont know what you will find.... you are not too clever.. let me tell you that... systems? : a combo of one or more starts plus some icy planets with rings, gas , metal rich or earth like , some times a black hole, ofcourse randomized for each system, but the same...

USS?: Pirates,Wedding barge, Funeral,Ancient artifacts, a clean hauler, ehm... t9 technology ehm... nothing else.

there you go , now you know what you will find.

Clever enough to command a 15,000 tonne cargo ship in real life. You must be a real laugh at parties.

I just quit. this game is so frustrating its not worthwhile. I can tolerate the bugs but the gameplay is FLAWED. FD you need to rework the gameplay mechanics otherwise this game will go the way of the dodo.

I wish i could be so easy to please, i envy you

but i cant stop seeing the rushed features and the lack of content and the clunkyness of mission and rep system this game has.

I play because Star Citizen is not out yet!...it has nothing to do with Elite!

What a pitiful attitude...

In one sentence, what keeps you playing the game? Please one sentence only.

Playing together with my buddies...

You mean it'll get eaten by hungry sailors? :O

Because this game with the rift is probably as close as I'll get to my childhood dream of visiting the stars and I'm having a blast whether I'm fighting, hauling or just exploring.

Jongo · Jan 4, 2015

I'm enjoying myself.

Ghostickles · Jan 4, 2015

You assume I'm playing, but waiting for ... something... before I bother again with it.

I'm with you, man. I go down the street and there are only human guys and gals everywhere... I ask them what's the weather is like but they all tell me the same... sigh, life is boring.

Captain Howdy · Jan 4, 2015

Nothing does at the moment.

Trixi · Jan 4, 2015

Mostly the hope that the game will be improved soon.

Britannkic · Jan 4, 2015

I like flying spaceships (sim-style rather than arcade style) and the beauty of the Galaxy, the sounds, seeing the bank balance rack up and being able to buy the thing

CMDR Brock Samson · Jan 4, 2015

Shooting stuff, making credits, gaining Empire ranks and getting past that Competent combat status.

EDIT: And I'm yet to start some serious exploring of the Galaxy.
