I was ready to chip in... but seeing all the reviews, I'll wait for big patches to get a full rounded game in few months. Dammm... what a pity... where is the game with planetary landing of NMS, Full ship design + FPS + crew of Star Citizen and The amazing gameplay of Elite Dangerous... probably never. I still dream to be a Firefly captain in the verse with a crew, a job and a cool ship.

Very very impressed by Star Citizen 3.0... the video that they displayed at the gamescon 2016 was a glimpse of all I want in a space sim.... Coop, FPS, Starship piloting, cool missions, full designed ships and facilities, complete open world.... the only problem is with their nearly unlimited budget, WHEN will they release the final game... this project seems so huge that I ask myself how long it will take to finish this dream space game!

Well they were right,NMS got boring after a while.Unless more is added in future DLC's I'm staying with E:D.

I too was very hopeful for NMS but repeated trailers showing the same thing over and over and over
made me suspicious and then suspicions have been confirmed. I am anxious for a space sim and made the mistake,
yes fanboys, a big mistake of buying into E:D. Cannot stand it and really regret the lo$$.

Star Citizen has my attention but I absolutely do not want to get burned again with something I cannot get rid of once bought like E:D.

So my question is: how much different from E:D is SC. in the opinion of those of you who own both?

PS: Please don't attack me for disliking E:D. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla!

Wow on that Star Citizen video!

I just saw they plan for Star Citizen to be DRM free?

Yikes! That would be amazing!

I bought SC last night (Aurora MR Star Citizen + Squadron 42 Combo).I'm not sure there is enough in there atm to keep me happy as a non-combat type of player but hopefully that will change soon™.

It's an MMO. It needs DRM no more than World of Warcraft does.



The Jedi Master

There will be three separate singleplayer content packages, so it's not purely a MMO.

In fact I would expect "no DRM" to mean "no login", which a MMO always needs.

Squadron 42 is supposedly separate from SC. By that I took it to mean "different programs."
I also took it to mean that if you have no interest in MP there was no reason to bother with SC.



The Jedi Master

I could imagine they release a frontend (client), and what you get to see in the client (universe, planets, ships etc.) - the content - then either comes from a public server, a private server or some kind of offline content database.

So I think it's not going to be truly separate programs; more like different modules you plug into the main client.

No Mans Sky update has been released. 1.1 can be downloaded.

I've got my eye on it.Not sure it will save the game though.Too much hate (mostly warranted) has ruined the reputation of Hello Games.

Ok, I'll post the cliche' then:

Is this the patch that makes the game fun?



The Jedi Master

The game IS fun.... for 2 hours

It's a slightly odd update. It's a game that boasts infinite exploration and endless variety, and this patch adds base building into the game :/
