Is Elite Dangerous any good?

It depends on your definition of good.

From what I understand E:D has a lot of content, but very little actual depth.

[Lechites]

What did the character that was fighting look like?

Coulda swore it was Raiden, I think from the dialogue, but it's been a number of months, so that might not be accurate. Also, I think it might have been a really long quicktime event.

Then yeah, that was Revengeance. Wasn't made by Kojima, was published by Konami but ultimately handled by different director.

From what I've seen/heard there's various things you can do, but they don't ultimately lead anywhere of value. Or at least anywhere that exciting.

I'm probably not going to be returning to civilized space anytime soon. :/. I'm continuing my trek to the Horsehead Nebula. My purpose in going there is both to sightsee the location and scrounge up the money for the final part of my "perfect" Asp. I'm very slow in getting anywhere, I love to scan the major objects in every system I jump to.

Just dont go to the edge of the galaxy, tends to... make folk a little crazy.

I sense that this is a reference to something.

Also, I should legitimately do that. I hear the view of the galaxy from that far out can be just as cool as going to the core.

The value that Lechites mentions above is largely centered around money and glory. Upgrading to bigger and better ships gives you the ability to do bigger and better things.

[Wisconsin9]

It's one of those games where you make your own goals. Get rich, kill people, cross the galaxy, whatever.

Firefly, I'm fairly sure. And yes, it is pretty cool. I haven't been to the edge of the disk, but I've been pretty far up above the galactic plane, and it's just incredible. I mean... Jesus, words just don't even fucking describe it.

On the topic of seeing cool things out in the black, I stumbled across my first neutron and dwarf star today, both undiscovered. The neutron was terrifying.

It's hella expensive at Steam.

So I decided to buy some good-old fashioned stealth game. Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

It's on sale right now. 33%, down to $40.

I'm not living in USA, so it's more expensive.

Ah, right, pricing bullshit.

Hey, it's not a fucking bullshit when we talk about price in Steam.

Tis indeed a firefly reference, bravo sir.

Finally got my controller working with Dank Souls. Taking a bit to rewire my muscle memory, but it's going smoothly so far. Beat Sen's Funhouse ez after having trouble with it a couple weeks ago.

Dank Souls :^)

I think I can get about £200 for all my PS3 stuff. It has a big hard drive which probably doubles it's value. Also, all the games. I'm gonna get a Logitech GT, F1 2015 and Final Fantasy 15, and maybe a few sports games, or something.

And today on "really terrible gaming journalism":

The title of the article includes two different, unrelated stories. The subtitle also includes two stories, one of which has nothing to do with the original second story.

Sometimes I wonder if the only reason GS is still in business is because of GFAQs.

Bezombia, can you, for once, actually detail why it isn't good? It may be bad for you, but others may find it fun. You aren't helping at all.

[Bezombia]

No

We literally had an extensive conversation where I detailed exactly why it was bad less than a week ago.

[Zeinbrad]

I come into the game having no knowledge of the series except that it's stealth-focused and really popular. I played some Splinter Cell earlier, so I was in that mindset a bit. The x and o button menu reversal is really jarring, but w/e. Anyway, I go through the prologue and learn the ropes, and end up having to knife everyone because I'm still bad at stealth. My first 'what' moment is when Ocelot ricochets kills a dude, and then meows to summon his soldiers, but I shrug that off during the sweet fight scene after. It really hit me when the Bee Guy and Thunder Dude came along, and Thunder Dude mini-nukes a factory like it was a Deathclaw nest. I realised that this was a 100% over-the-top Japanese stealth game. I really should have figured that out when I saw some rooftop fighting scene from one of the newer games, but I guess it didn't really connect.

You mean the fighting on top of a submersible battleship?

Which was apparently beaten by a WW2 Era Battleship (The Missouri).

[May Mays]

No

It's not bad.

It's just that a space road trip simulator isn't ever worth $60.

And it's not really all that good. Space Engine provides virtually the same experience, minus being told to go from A to B and blowing up other people.

GS News - PewDiePie Says Money Isn’t Happiness; Halo 5 Not 1080p?

PSN/XBL hacker gets no prison sentence on 50,000 cyber-crime convictions, 343 Industries are still yet to confirm the resolution of Halo 5

Essays I wrote in first grade were more coherent.

Looks more like a fetus, to me.

Does anybody want to buy a broken PAL PS3 with a 1 TB hard drive that can play ps1 and 2 discs with about 20 games? O_O

[Corrian]

Well, my already kinda crappy hand-me-down laptop from my grandma (Who, like almost all older people, don't seem to know how to not make their PC's full of crap) seems to be completely useless now. Keyboard went totally crazy on me (Typing 4 when I type T, and 7 when I type Y, plus the Tab key was hitting one and Backspace kept acting like it was doing what it is supposed to when you're NOT in chat)

Thankfully my grandma has a spare lying around (Again, she uses laptops harshly so she needs new ones quickly, apparently, though this one seems fine to me), so I'm not completely dead from computer usage for another week...

(If I'm reminded what thread is best for this post, I'll move it there)
