For all you E:D people, this is the place to go for Elite, check PGS thread for reasons. We can use all the bodies we can get.

Also, I just made 1,000,000 credits by hauling 8 tons of poo to a station.

Don't worry if you can't beat the advanced combat one, though, it's hard as poo poo.

I'm LostCosmonaut in game, hit me up.

I've got it on steam. I'll probably have to search for a control profile before jumping in.

Nintendo Switch

$300 lol

Only releases with Zelda really, not even Mario

All the good games are 3-6+ months after

Mario Kart port with some DLC, hey go ahead and spend that $60 again. Another ported Raymans game

Really expensive controllers

Get this:
The switch will have a paid for online service that gives you access to NES/SNES apparently. However, it's only for that month. You don't get to keep them. I love nostalgia as much as the next person but I really don't care to keep on playing NES/SNES games that are stupid hard anyways

lmao

Wow. I was gonna get one but... now maybe not. I'm probably even gonna get rid of my WiiU because I never play that thing and the controller lights up randomly with noises and advertisements (I know I can disable that, but I'd have to turn on the console for that).

I'm on PC and so are LostCosmonaut and N4I. A HOTAS controller really helps with the feeling of ~*~immersion~*~ but it isn't necessary, as the game is playable with a gamepad. Definitely be sure to do the tutorials and look through the controls because there's a bit of a learning curve.

Good hunter, free us from this waking nightmare

I don't know how I missed it when it came out, but Far Cry Primal loving owns. So far it doesn't have the standard Far Cry story problem of "The bad guys are cool and I wanna join them instead of working for these idiots :(", you just gently caress off into the wilderness and kill other cave men and animals and get killed by animals. Throw meat to attract animals and use your BEAST MASTER powers to tame them. Now I have a sabertooth buddy.

I was thinking I'd miss my .700 Nitro double rifle from Far Cry 4 but lmao eat poo poo, rhino



What a good boy :3:



Buddy we hunted together I'm fine you don't need to bring me snacks



Also the old standby of throwing rocks is still there, but eventually you upgrade that poo poo to a sling that can loving kill people. Spin that rock super fast and bust someone square in the face with it, hell yeah.

I'm game and getting increasingly drunk.

edit: of course right after I type this I get a wing invite. Best bet (if you're in df) is to get in the discord and ask for wingmans.

Speaking of Elite, what's the grind like with Engineers nowadays? I wanna hot rod my Federal Assault Ship but when it came out all the requirements to just unlock the new merchants seemed ridiculous.

Depending on the last time you played, they've made every material drop triple -- so if you scoop up one widget you get 3 (sadly, doesn't apply to mission rewards) and eliminated commodity requirements so you don't have to fly 100Ly out of your way to get a box of screws or whatever.

The actual unlocks can take time, but if you're deliberate about how you do things they're not too painful.

I stopped just about the time Engineers dropped. That's nice they tripled the materials though :)

Yes. I stopped playing pre-Engineers and picked it back up and it is markedly improved now. It's even better if you play with the goon group from PGS

Engineers introduced literal engineers that will modify parts of your ship if you complete really grindy quests for them.
