  • Depends. I played with super whales, enthusiastic people, people who do nothing but complain. Overall, the player base is pretty nice and helpful imo. Most of the fun i had in the game is doing seemingly easy stuff with randoms. Like how many small ships fit in a big ship before it blows up and stuff like that. It’s really an elaborate tech demo where you have to find yoyr own fun.

    If someone asks me why i like SC, i tell them this story: one day i was stranded on a planet, because my shhip blew up. It was just me and my mining car. The reasonable thing would be to just respawn, but the fun thing would be to pay someone to pick me and my mining car up. So i asked around in chat. Someone said he’d pick me up. So i waited, i strated to strarve. I asked him if he had any food. He said no but he’ll pick some up. I asked for a double dog, because i’m a dick. The whole chat started arguing about what the best course of action is and what’s better, a burrito, hot dog or double dog. A competition started, because everyone was the best and fastest pilot in the system. So i posted a new bounty and the price would go down every 10 min i had to wait. At least 6 people wanted to claim the bounty. I saw the first ship, but it got shot out of the sky, by another guy. Suddenly a small war broke out and i saw the whole thing unfold. It was amazing to see, and one of my best moments in video games. The whole thing was a 2+ hour ordeal of just me sitting on a planet. The game gives you such a sense of scale and helpless and lonelyness that you don’t find in any other game i think.

    I wouldn’t advice anyone to buy it, honestly. But if you like that kind of simulation, immersive space adventures, where you spend a lot of time for pretty “boring” stuff and have a beefy pc to enjoy the beaty of the game. This might be for you


  • That’s my takeaway of the game. I kickstarted like 80 dollars almost a decade ago, still to this day the only thing ever. I got a ship and access to a pretty mind blowing tech demo. So far i probably played like 60hours per year, and it’s time to download it again. I just think it’s very fun and one of a kind. It can be super janky, and i don’t think people should spend as much money as they do on this “game” that may or may not ever see the light of the day. people spend hundrets of dollars on call of duty skins and they then take them away with the new game that is always around the corner. There are nft games that cost 300million dollars too, and they are not games at all, just asset flips and blatent scams.



  • Have you met nintendo fanboys tho? I bought a switch, just because my nephew is that age and it seemed easier than letting him use my steam account, that he then can’t take home and stuff. The last console i owned was a xbox 360, so i didn’t really know anything. I got the switch and thought you can’t go wrong with mario kart. The game was something over 60 bucks and i thought that’s crazy and googled that the game was then like 8 years old. I bought it used and i found their dlc system pretty disgusting and predatory, since they knew it’s for kids and they dangle their dlc in front of them at all times so the parents will buy it eventually.

    Anyway, i asked in a nintendo forum if that was normal for switch games, because i genuinely had no idea how they operated. I caught so much shit there. People telling me that it’s a good game and the dlc is super worth it and it’s best to just buy it, so the kids stop clicking on it and whatever. These guys buy a switch 2 no matter what and Nintendo knos that damn well
