Wow, only $400 for a thing in a videogame? What a goddamn bargain, sign me right the fuck up!
For the cost of that Hammerhead it had better also come with an entire computer to play the damn game on.
At least in Elite: Dangerous the only cost for ships is your time and/or sanity.
Right? That kind of money goes toward a component of a PC that would have multiple uses—or, hell, for some people, a whole-ass PC, jesus. Not just one part of a game (pronounced like a gun is in Wayne’s World)
Man the grind is rough in Elite Dangerous if you want to participate in PvP. Material grinding is so painful, i wish they never added engineering, or only had 2 levels of it instead of 5. Im still waiting for ship interiors too.
Ahh, reminds me of grinding for reputation so I can get the Cutter and Corvette. I still keep Elite installed and still waiting to get the will to start that game. Odyssey really left a bad taste on my mouth.
Yeah. I liked Odyssey for wandering around my carrier's interior and really very little else. The combat is absolute dogshit, and that wouldn't be half as bad if pretty much every on-foot mission type did not inevitably downright require pissing off some faction or another, which then forces you to get involved in combat. The gunplay is pants, and I can't fathom why there are so few hitscan handheld weapons in a universe that's all about laser beams and railguns and shit. And then when you're done with the annoying combat you have a ton of bounties stacked up you have to deal with.
At least the mercenary missions let you just shoot people for the sake of shooting people. But if I wanted to bounce around in low-grav and shot guys with silly weapons I'd just play Borderlands.
That reminds me, I probably need to grind some cash to pay the upkeep on my damn carrier.
Great way to tell everybody you have no money.
way to say "im a prick" without saying it
Lol great way to tell everyone you think 400 bucks for a video game cosmetic is a reasonable thing to buy, and that everyone who can't/won't do that is broke. Its a bad look, this is cringe stuff that someone who's never worked for their money would say. Real money, old money, doesn't participate in this kind of behavior. Wastes of air like you usually live off daddy's money raging on the internet because you never learned how to develop real social connections.
Ha, sure thing, turbo. More like great way to tell everyone I’m better at managing my money than some o’ y’all, doing the bare minimum of not spending hundreds [with an ‘s’!] of dollars on a make-believe spaceship in an unfinished video game.
I really hope you forgot the /s there because, wa-how.
It's dirt cheap compared to something like horseback riding, shooting sports, cars, or scuba diving.It's just that this is easy to criticize as you can see the price tag easily vs looking at half a dozen receipts for the other hobbies.
Absolutely swimming in the kool aid
