Some of them give me some real “bring your nephew next time” kinda vibes. I’m not necessarily accusing anyone of anything, they seem like grown men with too many young friends.
Depends. I played with super whales, enthusiastic people, people who do nothing but complain. Overall, the player base is pretty nice and helpful imo. Most of the fun i had in the game is doing seemingly easy stuff with randoms. Like how many small ships fit in a big ship before it blows up and stuff like that. It’s really an elaborate tech demo where you have to find yoyr own fun.
If someone asks me why i like SC, i tell them this story: one day i was stranded on a planet, because my shhip blew up. It was just me and my mining car. The reasonable thing would be to just respawn, but the fun thing would be to pay someone to pick me and my mining car up. So i asked around in chat. Someone said he’d pick me up. So i waited, i strated to strarve. I asked him if he had any food. He said no but he’ll pick some up. I asked for a double dog, because i’m a dick. The whole chat started arguing about what the best course of action is and what’s better, a burrito, hot dog or double dog. A competition started, because everyone was the best and fastest pilot in the system. So i posted a new bounty and the price would go down every 10 min i had to wait. At least 6 people wanted to claim the bounty. I saw the first ship, but it got shot out of the sky, by another guy. Suddenly a small war broke out and i saw the whole thing unfold. It was amazing to see, and one of my best moments in video games. The whole thing was a 2+ hour ordeal of just me sitting on a planet. The game gives you such a sense of scale and helpless and lonelyness that you don’t find in any other game i think.
I wouldn’t advice anyone to buy it, honestly. But if you like that kind of simulation, immersive space adventures, where you spend a lot of time for pretty “boring” stuff and have a beefy pc to enjoy the beaty of the game. This might be for you
What do you mean about the regulars? What sort of crowd is it?
