Elite: Dangerous Release Date

Dammit my predictions were off, Tenz managed to stay mad at the game a whole day longer than I expected before loving it again

I manfully resisted spending £100 on an X-52 HOTAS system for an entire week, then spectacularly caved, went to buy one, found you couldn't but you could get the pro version for £130 so got that instead.

I have no willpower when it comes to shiny things

I aslo have no patience when it comes to fucktard developers putting my single player games online and then not making the servers bombproof so I can't play my SINGLE PLAYER GAME because the MULTIPLAYER shit is fucked. AGAIN. CUNTS.

That makes me feel slightly better about spending £40 on my HOTAS and around £35-ish for VoiceAttack and a new voice for the computer

Doesn't matter of you only ever want the damn universe to yourself, if the mutliplayer shit aint running, you aint playing.

And while I'm ranting (

) if I want to play the original Elite I still can, same with Diablo I and II. In 10 years though, I won't be able to play either this or Diablo III because there won't be any servers to host it.

You can play single player perfectly well though if you want. Chose solo play option and you will not see another player ever.

Why you would want to do that is upto you in my opinion it is the online part of this game that is of any interest.

I read your post but I don't get why it matters if you are online and solo or offline and solo. The online part allows for the market to work and the galaxy to "live" but in solo you do not get the annoying ganking little shits. The servers are rarely down.

A lot of people got upset about the always online thing but I don't really see why.

the simple matter of the servers being down ?

_________________

The fact that my single player game is available at the whim of a third party is definitley an issue. With a online multiplayer game you take that chance, it should never apply to a single player game.

There is also the fact that the servers will eventually be permanently down and at that point I will no longer be able to play my single player game ever again. Basically I have rented it for the duration the publisher decides to keep it open.

You may be happy with that. You may think that is not a big issue. Many would disagree.

The first game didn't need it. The second game didn't need it. The third game doesn't need it.

Psst Tenz... fixed that for you

Advancing age etc etc.

Each to their own I guess but it would not stop me playing it, that would be a shame and you would miss out on a great game.

That being said. I have hardly played it since lauch!

We don't talk about the one that wasn't finished and didn't run on a non-dos system
