When will it become a game? Will it become a game?

[Enderby]

It's been around for a while now (long enough I would say) do you think we will ever see the addition of properly developed, fun and engaging, gameplay mechanisms?

What did you have in mind?

 

[ebbrell]

I thought we already had it. In single mode and definitely in wings with friends

 

[Enderby]

It's an experience, I cannot deny, but I don't feel that they have provided us with a game yet.

"It's in the game."

Yes, but what IS IT? It's IT, I guess. But then again - I want it all but I can't grab it.

I've been playing the game on and off since P.Beta - It's a good game.

8 months in and I'm still having fun! Got my fifth and six ships recently, both will remain E-rated until I can afford to kit and engineer them. Have yet to kill a Thargoid, can't wait... going to try and multi-crew this CG (if someone will have me), looking forward to it!

I agree, it is, very much itself.

What makes you think it's NOT a game? What is "your" criteria that determines what a "game" is?

This is great - I wanna hear the good stuff as well, of course, as the bad.

In answer to your title, yes, it will become a game several decades ago! Enjoy!

In terms of the rest - I agree it's been around for a while, and I think it will be developed, become fun and engaging when I evolve some creativity and imagination...

Hope that helps? ;-)

I'm not entirely sure. It's a good question. But, I just don't feel that there is much 'game' here. It's lovely looking and impressive but is it any more than that?

*sigh* Another one of these posts. It is a game, it's just not going to hold your hand. Dota 2 or GTA may suit you better.

It's far more important than that.

Not as long as a large proportion of the playerbase
does not criticize the way FD develops stuff and implements
it unfinished and hasted.

Oh you!

And the usual suspects start showing up.

 

[AJW]

Sadly, some people lack the elementary reasoning power to figure out that just because they don't enjoy something, it doesn't mean that nobody else does.

And the start of the usual suspects start showing up.

By usual suspects do you mean those that hold a negative view of ED?

Well I would hope they would, along with those of a more positive outlook that can persuade me that there is indeed a game here.

Nobody really knows what the game is it seems.
Everyone has a different view on it.
Made a thread on it, check it out. Identity crisis.
