the base game is a sound design, but the developer neglects to add new stuff, as if it is being hamstrung from above, and as such elite has been in a coma for years. The sad truth is that frontier put their resources into other games which did badly, instead of honing elite. maybe they thought they could not match the abilities of star citizen so they didnt even try to add new content regularly, and as a result of this and frontiers trademark history of lies to players and other things, the community who play elite are largely uninterested, frustrated, and angry at frontier, and for some reason frontier uses this as an excuse to justify not adding content when they never intended to in the first place. They say a lifespan of a game is 10 years. I sometimes play games over 23 years old which are good. With modern graphics and 3 D games you can make a game last a lot longer than 10 years. Over 10 years we should have gotten dozens of new ships and some more meaningful BGS play mechanics but we didnt. what did we get. a shitty first person shooter 2 cars and an obsession with thargoids
it failed because they made an MMO and kept adding content that gamers didn't ask for (fighers, multicrew, engineers). And the one thing they added that players did ask for (walking on planets and stations) they f*cked up!
From my perspective it did not fail at all. It is the only game in which I will reach 1000 hours played. I see daily activity in reddit and RUclips around this game and there is a very friendly and loyal player base. Definitively my favorite game of all times. I love the exploration part of it as well. Hearing this short It sounds like there is nobody doing any exploration in this game, and this is simply not true (the numbers he is giving are aprox. accurate but this is not due to players not exploring, but because of the huge amount of stars there are...pure logic). I have the impresión this video is from a pro gamer (his shirt), but a pro ARCADE gamer 😅.
Well, i wouldn´t say It failed. I think, FDEV just underestimated the expectations of the core playerbase. That and the just didn´t deliver what they promised during the kickstarter. Okay. that´s a problem, most games have, when they have a Kickstarter campaign . But in this case, the Developers and David Braban himself promised features, they didn´t add since. The game itself is great. It´s not star Citizen. But thats okay. It never intended to be a SC Clone. The Problem ist not the Game. The problem are the Developers behind it. It´s that simple. They had the time. They have the money. They just don´t use it to improve the Product. No ship interiors (which have been promised during kickstarter), no new Playerships IN YEARS! Exploration has been improved but still lacks variety. The planets have the same problem as exploration itself. they look great. awesome compared to older versions of the game but you just can´t do anything on them. On Foot Content, gives you some things to do. But thats by far not enough to make it enjoyable in long terms. And many many other things. BUT: what it lacks in content, it makes up with atmosphere. Even though it uses a rather old Engine, it still looks gorgeous. The Combat is fun and challenging, yet not to hard even for new players. The ships, that are in the game are great. Would be better with ship interiors but i still enjoy all of them. Even the on foot Combat can be fun if you give it a chance. Well... there is the Grind... yea. The grind in this game (IF you tend to use it) is a pain in the A°°. But as i said: you CAN grind the heck out of the game if you want to. And sure. there are advantages, you can get out of it. But you still can play the game without all that and enjoy it. If you don´t look for a second star Citizen (wich also has many issues, to say the least) and just want a atmospheric and highly immersive game, you will have a great time with Elite Dangerous. I am enjoying Elite since it got released back in 2014. Even though it has its deficits. it´s still a great game.
They should have made about 100 planets, with different universes, with lots of things to do. Like a lot. Even 50 planets would have been good to with good and amazing content. Then from there they could have add different planets one by one. Players will be eager to visit those planets imagine all this pilots landing on one planet meeting all together.. however they decided to add millions and none one can visit.
But why? You just said it was big, was it players taking short traveling quests, not enough players to explore, too much focus on expanding available space and it not enough unavailable quest to do? Pointless radent quest to force exploration getting ignored? Maybe RNG location generator to force travel off putting players? I'm spit balling here cus the video is just players asked for space so the dev team said "space? Oh, we'll give you space." And that was the whole video
The problem here ist that the Galaxy is just that big. When the game got released, i outfitted an Exploration Vessel and started a trip around the galaxy. Took me about 2 1/2 years. And i chose the shortest route availlable. On the other hand, i was able to put my name on many stars and planets on that trip. wich was quite profitable to say the least. :)
Community managers will drop You some skins (but they will not say that you still can't have them). And you will be in nirvana and .... will go to grind again. Or/and fall a victim to another ganker.
NMS is not an Elite Clone. If anything it's more like Minecraft in space. I mean, when was the last time you could gather resources to build a base on a frosty planet full of life in Elite Dangerous?
agree the game failed to deliver anything except useless grind .. cannot even play without inara or other app and average player is at the lowest since thargoid shit taking place .... hahahaha
Before I discovered Inara, I used pen and paper. And boy, that was *Time Consuming* and sometimes a *total waste of time* because the prices change too!!! 😭😭😭
You skipped the tutorials? 😂 The game has good points in audio and visual but fails spectacular in the most important part: gameplay! The combat even feels unfair sometimes!
I disagree with calling it a "failed" game. It's an amazing and engrossing game (this from someone with well over 1500 hours on it). Could it be better? Yes, absolutely. Do the developers deserve some criticism? Probably. But just 'cause it doesn't live up to this RUclipsr's expectation doesn't mean it has failed.
Bruh we asked for the ability to walk around our ships, NOT shit ground combat.
Yeah that's why "interiors" were asked! What makes it worse: Odyssey added *even more grind!* As if there's not enough grind already!!! 😖
I still play this game mainly for its scale and how beautiful it looks when flying past planets

Its basically done. Like Frontier itself.

Question: Will there be other aliens than the Thargoids?? I mean the galaxy at 1:1 is HUGE! So, only humans and Thargoids feels so limited!

All Elite needs to succeed are more players like me who just want to get in a cool spaceship and get off this planet for awhile.

Look at how many systems there are and how many have been explored. Now go and try to document them, its too many stars
Stop popping up in my feed. Elite hasn't fallen.
List of locations ?
I would be surprised, if that guy knows any of those locations. plus: most of the content in this video is taken from the trailers for the game.
Elite dangerous didn't fail what? It's the best space game out there. The was a ton of shitty clones too. Like no man's sky
elite dangerous players who cna play star citizen, are playing star citizen. Lets be honest, ED is a joke meant to milk players wallets
lol reading you tells me you failed as well
@@lioraja9951 LOL, exactly, fanboys still keep ED alive.

@@peteuplink you can indeed mine for resources and make bases in elite dangerous

At least the "Thargoid shit" adds some interesting change! Have you encountered a Thatgoid? Trust me: it's both amazing and frightening!! 😵💫 + 😲 + 😱
