Gaming Only Fools and Hyperspace: Exploring Elite Dangerous

what system was it being tested on? what about an apu based one? does CF / SLI or hybrid work?

 

1984. I was there, man!

Is there any chance you could rewrite this without the excruiciating OFAH theme? I'm genuinely interested in the preview, but I'm having trouble getting more than a paragraph or two through before it annoys me too much to bother continuing. I don't think it's a solid enough joke for an article of this length given how much it disrupts the reading - a couple of paragraphs as a setup would have been more than sufficient. (Obviously, this is merely my opinion and others may well not share it, the author included!)

 

Agreed, I would have read it myself if the langauge didn't annoy me so much!

I had the same issue when reading the Transistor Review. Would much prefer having the option of a Funny review & a normal one, rather than just the funny one that gets flogged to death by page 2.

 

Jeez guys...give the man a break. If you don't wanna read it, don't read it.

Personally, I really enjoyed it. If you want to read a vanilla review, I'm sure there's plenty of other sites out there doing just that.

No need to crush a guy's creativity or ask that the poor bloke writes the damn thing twice...once for those with a bit of patience and a sense of humour, and once for everyone else :/

 

I love the alternative styles of Rick's articles on here. Some of them might land a little wide of the mark for some readers, but as XXAOSICXX states above you can read a standard preview on maybe 100 other sites.

Keep it up fella, it nice to have something to differentiate the site from some of its rivals.

 

and my dad has got a joystick itching for this game - ofc I personally would like to know about frame rates with an APU for him ofc

 

Mange tout, Rick my son - mange tout.

 

Epic, this game looks absolutely epic. Nice review, also quite nice having a different kind of 'tale' as it were.

Soo many Space Operas to look forward to, I like the little touches like planets gravity affecting engine power (and can you really divert more power to modules or was that the prose?)

 

Indeed, I probably should have mentioned I really enjoyed some of the other alternative reviews he's done, it was just his one that I didn't feel quite worked!

 

Just read it as Del Boy and it's simple, or Uncle Albert if it's easier. Attempting to read it out of character is likely to cause a bluescreen of the mind.

 

Yeah, Rick, why aren't you following the herd like a good little sheep?

Rick's articles make the site that little bit different and refreshing.
