My sympathies to you and your family
What's wrong with you Frontiers?
- Thread starter komissar
- Start date
I had the thought of becoming a game developer at some time. To make beautiful things for people to enjoy, tackling the hard stuff behind everything so they don't have to. For people who can appreciate a work of art and embrace its imperfections, too, ideally contributing to betterment with their constructive input. It went the way of the dodo and every other silly, romantic idea.
As always, there is the desperate need to attach a label to another who is considered responsible for a business to not design a game that they really wanted, but bought nonetheless
I bought a VR only game that released on the 9th, great fun, but includes game-breaking bugs... Desite sufficient 'early access' to spot the obvious ones... It is tremendous fun, but having to exit the game and restart a level that cannot be completed as the final obstacle cannot be overcome is unfunny. Still, it should be a great game in the next few months, should...
I understand your question but it's not the developers who decide to do minimal to no testing. Those decision are made by the project leader but most probably at an even higher level. I guess the financial department also had a big say in it (to keep costs down).
To stop annoying GIFs like these on PC firefox or Chrome, you can either:
Firefox : about:config, image.animation_mode = once.
Chrome: download an extension.
Android: Have not found a method with the default android chrome browser yet.
I had to do this a few months ago because there are a few people on here with these GIFs and they get very annoying after about 0.1ms.

For happy life rather than getting wound up by bugs I say work around them. Imagine not everyone in the galaxy is reliable, there are liars, accidents and catastrophes. We never plan for accidents to happen, they just do.
Yes bugs need to be flagged and fixed but they're also the ghost in the machine and - having been taking this apprach all along - personally I find quite a lot of sick pleasure in them.

But what about all the non fanbois, maybe yourself(?), who are playing the game?
We're still saying it's always been this way, just like you're doing the usual over-reaction - same as ever eh?
Welcome to Elite Alpha 3.whatever. Except this is a complete, ready game. Honest.
Definitely
I haven't played ED since Jan 21 or shortly thereafter. As for others that don't qualify as fanbois - can't speak for them and why they are still playing ED.
Haven't bought Odyssey and won't since I consider it a gimmick.
Why am I on the forum now? Got bored, needed something to do last week and figured what the HELL. Let's check in on ED and see how things are going.
In my not so humble opinion...
The tone of the forum hasn't changed much though many of the players have. Still one of the more civilized (maybe too civilized) of the various internet forums I do visit. AND the things that get discussed haven't changed much either; think Fallout and the opening of each iteration of it. "WAR - war never changes". Replace War with ED and you'll get it.
Fixed that for You - CSBA (Can't Stand Bloody Acronyms)
My general point is many people play the game, including those who have a beef with it, so labelling the 'failure of the game as being fanbois fault' is a bit of a sweeping statement.
Why do you think Odyssey is a ' gimmick'?

Why is Odyssey a gimmick? Because it really doesn't add anything new. You can walk around on a station and on a planet. Now players can kill each other face to face instead of ship to ship. Still have the same ole grind as before. It's like eating a Red Delicious apple for most of your life and then someone offers you a Fuji. Are they different? Yeah - a bit but they're both still apples.
IMO frontier was just making good on promises they made to early backers way back in 2014 or so (and they didn't do a very good job of it). Gimmick to grab money and appease the few that wanted space legs and only got about 1/2 of what they wanted.
Whats wrong with civilised discussion? i used to be one of those young wipper snappers who puffed up his chest at the first sign of confrontation, but life's too short, its just a game
Im a lot older now and enjoy the banter here, this is more me nowadays

Nothing's wrong with civilised discussion in general as long as it doesn't keep those in the discussion from speaking their minds.
That said: In my experience - especially in these days of political correctness and the incorrect proposition that everyone has a right not to be offended civilised discussions often devolve away from open and honest discussion to little more than a herd of sheep kissing each other's behinds. I'll leave it to the reader to figure out why that is not a good thing.
PS: take a gander at my forum Avatar - looks a great deal like me in real life - in 5 weeks I'll turn 70.
Who are you?
