| SvennoJ said: I'm still finding new sights and new wildlife. Actually I just wandered into a fully working planetarium behind a v2 door, never seen that before. Odd, the planets certainly don't move out there, yet here they orbit the giant red star with moons orbiting their parents. It's relaxing to play for an hour here and there. I'm actually playing it through remote play while browsing the net, and playing it on a projector at night, enjoying the relaxing sights and sounds. (Music 100, sfx 20 seems to be a good mix) I enjoyed exploring in Elite Dangerous for many months and there is much much less to find. Wandering around, wondering what I'll see next keeps me coming back. Yet, I'm still 142k ly from the center. No clue if I'll still have interest in the game when I get there. I've only warped 110 times so far, I spend far too much time on the planets. 390k on foot exploration, finding wildlife is fun. |
Yes, that's likely the solar system you need to visit to actual get to the centre of the galaxy.
There's just not enough variety of wildlife. Once you've seen one silhouette and animation loop, you've seen them all, regardless of any cosmetic differences. They need new animation rigs for more creature types, more tree types, bush types, flower types etc. That's why I believe they WERE using the superformula but had to pull it and fall back on premade assets. The superformula could produce millions upon millions of plant/tree variations and you wouldn't have seen the same plants/trees on hardly any planets at all. I can understand why some needed to be the same because of having to offer certain resources on every planet but there's a huge lack of diversity when it comes to flora.

And why didn't they tie upgrading in with the races? It seems an obvious thing to do. Instead of them being random drops or chance conversations, why didn't they make it so you could only get the upgrades in a certain order from different races and to do that you had to get a number of collectables, things that are actually in the game but serve no purpose other than to make money. I'm baffled by some of the missed opportunities for game loops.
