Elite Dangerous

Elite: Dangerous is a shining example of how [u][b]not[/b][/u] to do game development. Elite is, at its core, actually a great game - I wouldn't have so many hours in it if it didn't have a kernel of goodness in there somewhere.

The TL;DR is that Elite has [i]some[/i] value, but despite having the ...

After 2000 hours of gameplay, I feel like I did almost everything I could on the game. The truth is, I probably didn't.

I`m not a fanboy and I do store this game from time to time in my library giving it some time to allow me to miss it. But I can ensure you that this is the kind of game that you ...

Elite has been good while it lasted.

So many stuff to see and experience. All those interesting ships and modules. Curious missions and Background Simulations. If you are thinking of buying, you won't be disappointed in these first couple of hours.

But the downside, if you choose to pursue a goa...

It really pains me to have to give this game a 'not recommended', but at full price it gets hard to justify. TLDR: Buy it on sale for about 50% as a space flight pseudo-sim, not as a game where you can immerse yourself in the role of a space mercenary.

Elite Dangerous has THE BEST space flight mech...

Well, I tried, I gave it 100 hours of playtime and instead of it growing on me, it was the opposite, I saw how shallow a game this is. I tried a little of everything:

Combat is a case of swirling around until your weapons can get a bead on the target, then pressing mouse 1 or 2, then doing it some ...

I have now played this game for roughly 700 hours and feel it is time I give my full-on review. The first thing to get out of the way is that you're basically going to NEED eith...

A series of rich, deep, and lovingly built simulations with an enormous skill ceiling on piloting. A runaway winner in the field of the most natural feeling deep-space combat and flight, with ship handling varying by the physical position of their thrusters and weapon arcs even varying by their phys...

At the end of the day, Elite: Dangerous is a wonderful game if you are ready to put in hours and hours for a game that doesn't love you back. The Odyssey update has been, for all intents and purposes, catastrophic, and the developers are showing nothing but disdain for their community, and seemingly...

After playing this game for over 1400 hours, I can definately say that 'As wide as an ocean, but only 1 inch deep' is a perfect description of this game.

I've browsed through some of the other negative reviews, and they outline perfectly well what my concerns are as well, so I will spare you the wa...
