  • Elite Dangerous is a space sim about living in a futuristic Milky Way galaxy completely to scale. Now that's cosmic horror. The review also touches on Horizons and Beyond.

      I know it's already pretty big, but mind me suggesting adding "Scavenger-SV4" to the list? It's a very unknown game but it's also a game that knew what it wanted to be and became that: send your rover to a radioactive planet to try and get some alien technology without being sure about what you might find on the planet.

      I know that feeling, plowing through backlog while "that one particular game" is still haunting you
      no more....
      as usual - Anachronox, Planet Alcatraz (removed from the list?), Boiling Point, aaaaand rest of the STALKER family (Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat) in general - more obscure the better
      and since you removed Brigade E5-New Jagged Union I think 762High Calibre will be way better

      Hey Mandalore, so glad you got round to reviewing Elite. I wanted to ask before this comment gets lost in the tidal wave, but do you still reckon EVE is worth getting in to? I played for about 4 months after watching your review of it but stopped after i had some money trouble and never really picked it up again. I really enjoyed the time i had with it, i'm just not sure if it's still worth the investment as it seems to have quietened down alot lately.

    Honestly I like the idea of aliens that are genuinely alien. You don't really have a means of communicating with them, they don't attempt to communicate with you. Instead, you're both just curious and fascinated by one another because as mysterious as you are to them, they find you equally mysterious. It honestly feels like that interception at the end wasn't about attacking you, but warning you off, like saying "We've decided that you've overstayed your welcome. Don't come back. Now scram."

    I still remember the day that I got bored of constant cargo runs so I bought a tough ship with good fuel range and started exploring. For the most part I found nothing except cool sights. It was certainly worth the trip. But then I found this... thing floating in space. It looked like some kind of alien space station or something. Then it unfurled some parts and I realized it was a living creature. I did not get any video. I did not get any screen shots. What I DID get was right the fuck outta there. I've been doing cargo runs and courier missions ever since.

      Exactly. Break into dangerous alien bases for their corrosive loot is a few million for hours of work, cruising out to the void opals hotspot in a slapped together ship for it could be 300m an hour on a good find. That's what happens when we get to play in a command economy decided by algorithm nonsense.

    It may be because I was watching this at 5 AM, but those Thargoids scared me on a primal level. Just imagine being all alone on your ship, on a slow burn across systems, then suddenly getting violently intercepted, everything going dark, and then out of the viewport you see some kind of fucking Cthonian elder god approach as it unfurls like a starfish and starts pulling your ship towards it, glowing like it's the last thing you'll see.. only to stop and leave you with a wail that sounds like the death of the universe. I'd never fly again.

      I disagree. Space games are probably THE BEST use of procedural generation, especially when done right.

    I have been struggling to put exactly this into place in my own mind for so long. I got really into the game for a time, joined a faction (There are communities for each - I joined Sirius, nd that seemed promising) and did a ton of exploration. Joined in on Distant Worlds 2. But quickly burned out on the return journey. I think it might have been exploring itself that hammered home just how procedural, painfully procedural the galaxy is. Even the center of the galaxy was underwhelming. The thing that broke it for me though, was visiting Colonia, the furthest colony from the bubble. It should be interesting, with factions and missions reflecting the lack of control by powers from the bubble, but instead, this pinnacle of human achievement was nothing but the same stars I had seen thousands of times, with the same stations, factions that were as bland and empty, and even the player community around Colonia seemed directionless (But not for lack of effort, to give them credit.
    I was excited by the carriers, but once they came out, they honestly seem like more maintenance and busywork than anything meaningful right now. The announcement of the next piece of content expanding on planets is promising, but honestly I won't get my hopes up. Great video, really summed up my experience, really.

    From what I've played of it I think I'd love it if they introduced slightly larger ships up to small capital ships or bordering on capital ships for instance corvettes or frigates. I'd like to be able to have a ship where I can designate multiple targets from a weapons station and watch my guns go hog wild. I reckon it'd also be cool to use a ship like this for launching a shuttle for landing on asteroids and with the rover making the rover a bit larger and more powerful. Being able to be entirely on foot would also be good.

When the mystery of how everything works just disappears, common in gaming but this happening in Elite Dangerous hit very hard. I still venture in occasionally today and the recent Maelstrom Incursion into the Bubble certainly brought those old feelings back for a while. The VR experience is simply unmatched and provides one of the best gaming experiences of all time. On the other hand the horrific engineer GRIND elements are still alive and well and the money making system is flat broken. It's RIDICULOUSLY easy to progress from starter ship to end game craft.

    I remember being so engrossed by this game when it first came out excited to get to the point where I could get involved in pvp and involved in serious trading and exploration and setting up bases in systems I had explored... only to find out that the developers actively discourage and design around player interaction and any level of real depth.
    Elite looks so pretty and feels at first like it has an ocean of content... until you realize it's as deep as a puddle and all you're going to see out there is more waves, water, and maybe the occasional island. Never have I been more let down by a game with so much potential.

      Thats because there IS no final boss. This game is a trade simulation with attached combat and exploration. Always was since the beginning. The player is a small cog in a milky way sized machine, you are not meant to be "The hero that saves the universe".I blame fortnite and similar games for people not knowing what to do with an open world game like this any more.

    Hi, I've just come across your channel and watched this review.
    All I can say is "this is how you review a game".
    Honestly, a big part of gaming in my opinion is the audio and you covered it which is very rare in a game review. Also the way you explain the issues and the way they could be improved is brilliant.
    I've not played Elite Dangerous but after your review I feel I need to, thanks.

As a review should consider positive and negative aspects he fullfilled every criteria a serious review should have. The nice part about this video is the point that he tries to stay as relevant as possible in his arguments, shows something of is personal experience but still doesn't force his opinion on you. A review is always subjective but should stay open for the viewer to build his own opinion. You clearly don't want a review, you want someone to tell you what to think and do.

      Opinion being based on facts means nothing. Its still going to be over subjective matters.
      A review, a true review, is never subjective but focuses on actually reviewing the game. Aka explaining what it is, identifying the audience, and going over the strengths and weaknesses it has for that audience.

Also I’m pretty sure that Sseth lives in UK or Europe. I think they both come from the same videogame community something like SS13 or so.

    I remember the Thargoids from the spectrum version back in the 1980s. You used to get sucked into their space which is like an alternate dimension where you would get attacked by seven or eight of the buggars. Suicide unless you had reached a high rating. I think Elite is another case of a progenitor that has been eclipsed by it's offspring. Thanks for the upload.

      Cromed out terminator wannabes
      .In the original Show the Cylon’s were Created by an ancient race of lizards Called Cylon’s who died centuries before the show took place because of a plague
      In the remake they were created by humans more specifically a mad scientist and his assistant
      because their daughters got blown up in a train crash or something and they named their new invention the Cylon because
      Reasons. Anyway the Cylon’s
      Are Calling themselves the
