Did you REALLY just say you've been spunking on body parts on a public internet forum
Big update for Elite Dangerous tomorrow which has big changes in exploration and mining as well as a nice upgrade to the lighting too. All of the DLC from Frontier this year has been free which is cool, and next year there's going to be a paid DLC. Elite Dangerous DLC is the only DLC that I won't bat an eyelid to pay for because you REALLY get your money's worth and I'm always happy to support them.
They've said that they're going to continue to work on Elite Dangerous for at least 10 years as long as people keep on playing so we could be looking at continued DLCs coming all the way up to December 2024.
I reckon next year we'll either see Space Legs (being able to leave your ship and walk or EVA around) or landing on atmospheric planets. Either one would be awesome but I reckon atmospheric planet landings will be more likely to happen.
I just can't put into words how good Elite Dangerous really is, and that's just playing the game on a flat screen, once you try it in VR it's on a completely different level altogether! I didn't think anything would knock the first Elite off the number one spot in my best games of all time list but Elite Dangerous has done it. It's an amazing game.
A great deal of people complain about the grind but if anything it's actually TOO EASY to earn credits in this game. There are various exploits, there are these things called Community Goals which are VERY lucrative and you can also join the armed services of one of the factions to get a decent wage.
Back in the 80s things were MUCH harder. No mission boards, no exploits, no Community Goals and no wages from the armed services. All you could do to earn money was trade, pirate, bounty hunt and mine the odd asteroid you came across. You had to put in a ridiculous amount of time before you could get yourself an Anaconda
For me the game isn't grindy ENOUGH, so I'm playing the game old school.
Can't wait for this update to go live tomorrow, slapping seismic charges on asteroids and blowing the fuckers up is going to be AWESOME
