it's baffling anybody would even consider playing it
🤷♂️ I played it a long time ago with friends we got our $45 worth and then some. What you could do vs. what they have been promising was limited but still fun, and a lot more than what other space games provided. Besides the obvious alpha bugs I didn't have any major issues. I wouldn't go recommending it to others yet though. It's a shame the company is so shady. Been patiently waiting to see what the competition puts out. Quanga looks very promising and I'm curious how that one will develop over time. Everyone raves about X4 Foundations but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. For The Stars pretended to be a contender but wasn't the same at all.
It's supposed to be launching against GTA 6 next year (they restarted development in 2016 with the new Planet Tech). They also released the first hour of gameplay from the first mission:

Good point but I also soloed quite a bit. It's definitely the type of game for me but before it would worth playing again it needs 1. Better performance (this would be incredible in VR but there's no way it's playable...), 2. More things to do - I stopped right before they added refineries and a few other mechanics - and 3. Actually be out of beta so you know your character won't get wiped and shit won't get randomly nerfed. Not holding my breath.
Elite Dangerous is breathtaking in VR btw. NMS is pretty cool too.

I just want the fucking singeplayer campaign that I was promised 13 fucking years ago.

'supposed to'
Remind in another 13 years.
There's barely any gameplay in that whole video.
I mean, literally any game played with friends has a high chance of getting your money's worth. Whether the game is quality or not.
