That was awesome, and very well done.

Never played SC, and the in-game expressions were a bit exaggerated, but I'm wondering how they achieved the lips/expressions to be accurate to the words. TrackIR camera mimicking actual mouth movements maybe?

Ahhhh. They do have IRL face tracking.

I dunno... NMS always seemed to me like some Disney game for kids.

Is it because it's a colorful game? Looks great in play, gets free upgrades, and doesn't have issues with population. Mainly because it's done something ED has and will never accomplish in its lifetime.

Have to admit it's starting to look better than E:D.

You vs me. PC vs Xbox. Controller vs dusty ass keyboard. Space fight. Let's go.

But I don't use any dusty-rusty-whatever keyboards in E:D, I have two sticks.

Ah. I forgot space simmers use two sticks.

What kind of sticks are you using, M?

2x Thrustmaster T16000M.
Yeah, KB+Stick or HOTAS are more popular, but my config performs well in making them go woo. KB+Stick weren't so good.

Nms is a great space game, yes it has a different art style but it looks amazing. Exploration is actually a lot of fun because you have randomly generated plants and creatures. The story is interesting, but it's all arcade-oriented. It's an indie game, which doesn't mean it's a bad thing. For me, Hellogames is one of the best indie studios so far, and how they shaped the game and didn't give up despite the harsh criticism at the time. It's different than ED but highly recommended and enjoyable for all ages.

This is the phrase I never expected to say myself, too. That moment when you realize that piracy on No Man's Sky is waaaay better than the one in Elite: Dangerous has ever been.

Even though I don't consider No Man's Sky a space sim, just a survival game with spaceships as part of the gameplay, it recently itched that note ED has not touched for almost a year. And I think that's the best commentary on current state of Elite: Dangerous right now.

Heh, you try running from Thargoids and telling me E:D isn't a survival game

530+ m/s (top speed of the Basilisk) and one heatsink and it's trivial. It's easy even with 400+ m/s max.
