I remember back in the day when i spent 23 hrs a day on a mmo. I got top of server and realized wtf was point. I hope that everyone one of these poor souls reaches that point too.
all my apes gone
Mildly related: it feels like eurogamer has really stepped up their ragebait game. I've been subscribed to their rss for years and lately it's just ragebait after clickbait after community drama. What happened eurogamer? Who bought you?
They often but not always now run 2 different titles. One one the actual page, another in the embedded metadata that gets pulled on social media/RSS.
The more mainstream gaming becomes, the more bullshit the gaming media will become. Entropy at its finest.
Kickstarter making bank on this one. Goddam.
I thought they moved the crowdfunding to their own site.
50 million over 14 years.
This game is gonna party rock so hard when it comes out in a year or two in 2014. Just you wait and see!
I had a friend tour me through the game and it’s honestly come a long long way. I’m considering getting an entry-level taxi ship and just exploring. From what I was seeing, that will keep me plenty busy for my ~$40 worth and I imagine quite a bit more.
For $40 it really is worth it. I've gotten soooooooooo many hours out of the game over the years, but God do I hate that game some times. Just always be prepared to lose your progress for no fault of your own, it's a perpetually buggy mess.
Just yesterday I flew down to a planet to check out the ship expo going on, called ATC, got assigned a hanger, was just approaching the opening to land when suddenly it wasn't actually open and I get teleported out of my ship. Had I had any cargo it would have all been lost, but I've played enough of this game to know only bring what is absolutely necessary and going to an expo meant nothing was necessary thankfully lol
Sounds like the kind of game that would be painful to play while working 9-5. I can't imagine spending an evening of free time doing that just to die to a game-breaking bug.
It can be pretty disheartening so I tend to stick to things that simply complete with very little interaction like a merc mission where it's just killing things so you don't have to worry about losing anything and failing the mission, or losing money on trade goods.
I thought they needed all of that funding to develop their next-gen engine? Don't tell me they've been spending it on hookers and blow?
It's the servers mainly. They're still implementing some core tech so I guess they don't find it worth spending so much time getting the servers running perfectly when the next major change just ruins everything again. They're going to be completely changing planet and POI generation soon so that's probably going to mess a lot of things up.
I had the same experience with about a million in refined ore a few patches ago. I stopped selling ore on planets after that.
But I agree, it is a fun game, and it has made progress. Looking forward to what this year brings
Someday I will fly it. My kids will email me back to say "We understand now. We respect you". They won't call me The Sad Man anymore. Nobody will.
