Elite: Dangerous
Elite Dangerous wants you to buy a few Halloween decals for your spaceships and will even give you a jack o’lantern one for free. Well I guess Brian put a spaceship on a pumpkin a few years ago, it’s only fair that Frontier lets everyone put a pumpkin on their spaceship. And we have to wait at least another week to find out why a dozen megaships just parked next to the permit locked system.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen released Early Access Pre-Alpha Release Candidate Prototype Experimental Test Build 4.3.2 10452200 to the LIVE server… last week. The Hotfix system has reportedly fixed 130 bugs since the patch was released 9 days ago. It only required a 7 hour downtime in the middle of Wednesday. But never fear, Alpha 4.4 is on track for a 2025 release, with the Tech Preview delayed by only a week, which will delay the Evocati release, which will delay the PTU release, which will result in a stable and timely release to the LIVE server. It’s all gonna go fine. Just you wait. Also, CIG just killed medical gameplay, or maybe they just incapacitated it and looted its unconscious body. And Tony has ONE MORE THING to say about CIG’s financials and then we can forget about it until they announce their IPO.
No Man’s Sky & The Outer Worlds 2
The Outer Worlds 2 is out for those who are complete suckers and spent $100 on a stupid video game. It’s us. We’re the problem. But the first step in solving a problem is talking about it on a podcast, so that’s what we’re gonna do. And No Man’s Sky released the “Breach” update and it comes with a new expedition and new ship parts and a salvage mechanic and geez is Hello Games ever gonna stop with the whole “comeback tour” thing?
Community Questions
- Are the looting rules in Star Citizen symptoms of poor implementation choices between content and stability or just bad basic design?
