I love all those games (except Starfield), Infact Eve and satisfactory are among my all time top 5 games, but x4 has its flaws…
I really don’t like the AI for example, and I also felt that it isn’t deep enough for me, once your building stations and building ships, there’s not much else to do aside from sending a fleet to destroy these guys next, which is where the kinda bad AI comes in, they suck at efficient combat and need micromanaging. The story line was ok but I wasn’t that involved and it was a little boring being a lot of just fly here fly there…
That said all the other games have their flaws too obviously
I was absolutely obsessed with eve but it’s a totally different game now and I don’t get enough enjoyment out of it anymore (for the cost)
Satisfactory’s flaw for me is just that I did everything so all that’s left is build more factories across the map for resources I don’t need or tear down and rebuild my current factories to make them neater and nicer looking which… Also isn’t very appealing to me
Long story short, for me a new space game with similar elements to Eve and satisfactory along with perhaps the ship building aspects of Starfield (haven’t tried but looked like a nice idea with garbage implementation) is more than welcome
Basically, I need to scratch that space ship game itch still and nothing is really cutting it for me anymore
Too bad for us, yeah.
The people benefiting from this have more than enough money to stay comfortable and live a long life if the environment becomes hazardous, deadly and inimical to human life.
It’s the masses who will suffer, who will be forced to live in tiny bunkers just to survive and work for the capitalists, never going outside until an extreme weather event wipes them away despite their budget bunker
And the capitalist ruling class will say “oh look more space to expand my summer bunker”
Well I certainly have several hundred GB to spare for a game like this. Why don’t the common folk? You mean not everyone has more than 16tb total storage in their PC nowadays?? Why not??
Seriously though, all that space for activities, it’s liberating, yet somehow I still manage to fill it up quite fast
Edit:
For MSFS 2020 -
In 2020, the initial install is 130 GB. Then we have 17 world updates. If you calculate it up, we’re at 500 GB. And then there are 5,000 add ons that people have made, which I think are two terabytes. So if you really want to get all this stuff, it’s a pretty big install.
Wow I would have to dedicate almost half an entire 4tb drive to 2020… I’m still down for that but I’ll have to shift some stuff around heh…
Thanks I appreciate your insight and experiences, I’m going to give satisfactory a shot when I’m in the mood for factory games since factorios graphics were a slight turn off (especially after EVE and Dyson sphere program)
If you haven’t heard of it, I’ve sunk 200 hours into Dyson sphere program because it scratches the factory itch while also hitting me in the space exploration sweet spot
I tried to get into satisfactory bit I couldn’t really get past the initial base building, the crafting was too basic for me when the workshop itself looks so intricate and detailed (graphically speaking) but it’s crafted from steel plates and steel rods and click-holding a button 45 times…
Does the crafting get a lot more complicated?
I’m coming from games like EVE online, the crafting system for which I really enjoyed
Ive got such a craving for space ship games which isn’t satisfied by any games currently that I’m often fantasizing about resubbing my 4 eve accounts to solo nomad in wormhole space to hopefully pay for the game subscription using in game currency from wormhole life (gas harvesting, relic/data, maybe PI) and skill farming…
For those who don’t know that’s a huge fucking time investment, basically a second job in terms of hours per week and tediousness, so it’s pretty absurd that I’m even entertaining the possibility
