Got this yesterday on a whim, and I have been quite happy with it so far. I have travelled to 4 systems so far and even got a new multi tool that looks like a rifle, just need to figure out how to get a new ship then I will have more space on it.

 

Has any one else played this yet?

We don't get it on PC until Friday :(

 

Looking forward to it though, not on the hype train like many, fully expecting it to just be a relaxing "Go here, explore, go somewhere else" type deal.

Base building and capital ships in the next update, that should be quite interesting.

Pfft, you call that a multitool?... This is a multitool!

I believe @X-13 was considering this game.

 

Sounds interesting, so I will sit back and hear comments before purchasing, or watch a stream. :)

Had it since Saturday and played 6-10 hours before deleting and restarting after the 1.03 patch.

 

Spend my second game and about 10 hours just staying on the starter planet just learning the language and opening new areas. So big it hurts, but as @DMcGuigan says very much a relax, collect stuff here, collect stuff there and make your journey through space. I like it, but it wont be for everyone (to be fair, no game is).

 

New ships can be purchased on planets, if you don't land on a bases' landing areas alien ships can land and you can buy them. Space stations have many ships passing. Start saving though, if you want to jump up in 5 slots it'll cost you 1m. Before you buy, transfer the stuff out of your ship.

Not played it myself yet, but have seen a few Twitch streams. Looks like a good game so far. I can also see it being a great framework to grow into bigger things in the future.

 

Imagine if they threw in some Eve like game mechanics, basic base building (not like Space Engineers, more like Eve POS but on a planet), and VR. It'd be the ultimate game for me.

 

But I'll be happy with it as it is come Friday when it downloads on my PC! Not that I'll be playing it much as I've got so much programming to do!!

Bought it on Steam for PC

 

Can't wait for Friday release

 

I've watched a few PS4 streams and it has got me really excited about playing but I'm trying to not watch to much so it doesn't spoil the surprises

 

Have read quite a few negative comments but that's probably just from people who only like Full Loot PvP games :p

Sean did mention base building and super carrier ships is planned for an update. When?? probably best to see if the server hold out over the next few days first!

Yeah, same. People were thinking the game was something it was never advertised to be. Its an exploration, trade and collecting game. With extra stuff on the side.

 

I figure, I like Elite Dangerous, I'll like this!

Pre-ordered for PC a while ago, so playing the ultimate waiting game....using the ultimate ability - patience.

 

Not watched any twitch feeds and only seen the original videos/trailers of it. Read a few bits n pieces and sounds quite promising. A game I can relax and enjoy.

Started it last night on PS4... enjoying it so far - it's not as fast paced as some of the FPS games about but should keep me interested for some time... not sure how long it is going to be before it gets a bit repetitive though? yes, there are literally billions of systems and even more planets that have diverse and varied life, but if you're doing the same thing to catalog and analyse on each one it will become boring very quick.

 

all in all i like it. i have only played about 3 hours though :)

The initial user reviews on Metacritic are pretty mixed and it's averaging 5.0 at the moment which is putting me off slightly but the streams I've seen on YouTube/Twitch look pretty entertaining. Hopefully if it's successful they'll keep on adding content to keep the game fresh as the main criticisms seems to be that it gets kind of repetitive after a while and that there's no multiplayer.

 

I'll probably pick it up on Friday when it's released on PC :D

I haven't really kept up with information on this game, but have the devs promised to add more content? The general opinion I've gathered about it so far is that it's best described as the size of an ocean but the depth of a puddle.

It looks like a good game, but I don't know if it's worth the asking price of £46 (amazon). Might wait for it to come down in price a bit first, also waiting for the reviews :)

Yeah. From what I've seen, it isn't worth £40. Its more of a £25-£30 game IMO.

Definitely, plus I've heard (on PS4 at least) that there are some bugs causing the game to crash often, and as there's no auto-save people so are losing hours of gameplay, think it's wise to hold off on this one for a month or so until they sort the issues. Saying that, the Bill Bailey ad very nearly triggered an impulse buy!

I have been playing this on the PS4 recently. It's a good game if you are happy to sit back and just explore, if that isn't your style of games. I would avoid it. On the saving, the game saves each time you exit your ship on a planet or you discover an outpost. If you are actively exploring it will be saving often, only lost about 10 minuets from being lost in some caves.

 

The crashing is a bit of a pain, hoping they solve that soon :)

Played a couple of hours so far on PC. There's some performance issues (random lag spikes) and it crashed once, but overall a very playable game.

 

In that 2 hours I've not yet left my initial system! Been too busy scanning everything. I suspect I will sink many an hour into this game.
