    Why not? Not only you was much different, the game was a different man too. I want to like this game, but the gameplay loop and activities seem not for me. I played it for a few hours years ago and might go back and try again.

      I’ve played it after several of the updates and it’s pretty much the same game with a new coat of paint. A mile wide and an inch deep. But the game keeps getting wider and playing it now for the first time would probably be pretty great.

      I loved it when it first came out because since I was a little boy playing Atari in the 80s I wanted to play a game where I could fly to space, between planets, and back in real time. This was the first game that gave me a satisfying experience like that. And it’s still my favorite part.

      Edit: I played Star Citizen after which is a better experience for that, I put ~80 hours in so if it never comes out I got my $50 worth of play time. But I stay fairly close to development on it hoping I’ll get to play a finished version someday.

        I’m about to start ELITE: Dangerous (played the ELITE game on NES way back…) which also have the first person element nowadays. Did you try that one yet? I still wait for Star Citizen to be “completed”, in the sense that I do not like playing Early Access periods.
