Elite Dangerous: Star Citizen
I caved last year and bought a $30 pass for star citizen.
I had two thoughts..
First thought was it was insanely pretty. Prettier than Elite, and I have a few hundred hours logged on Elite. The tech really is incredible. They have some really interesting Levels of Detail, and their city tech on planets is nothing short of breathtaking.
My second thought was, "Is this it?" It felt like for all the great tech, there's very little to explore or do.. I was left overwhelmed at the tech, underwhelmed at the content.
To me Elite dangerous was crazy, IT let me get my name on new planets and stars. I could fly wherever I wanted... except onto atmospheric, Populated planets.. and it was that and not being able to walk around my ship that ultimately ruined it for me. And with Odyssey, I still cant land on populated planets or walk around my own ship..... aaaaaaand I would have to relearn a whole new control scheme.
I realize populated planets with cities etc is super hard... but it's what breaks the immersion for me.
now with all these reports of it running like garbage... Its a hard pass for me until they fix those issues and add cities on planets and the ability to walk around my ship.
