I finally beat the game this week and with this I might just play it again to try and beat the time limit difficulty. I really hope their improvement of the final fight will be good, as right now it is just underwhelming
Why SC out of all the space sim/sandbox games? Is there anything that this game has that no other game provides? Something about the community, a combination of features, gameplay loop or something else?
There are hundreds of games in that genre but many people obviously like SC so much that they are willing to spend larger amounts of money on it. I really wonder what it is exactly or if it’s just the general feel that game has. It’s not an easy question to answer from an outside perspective, its hard finding anything about SC at all except about its monitisation.
And again: I’m genuinely curious and not judging. People can like whatever game they want and spend as much money as they are willing to part with. I have often searched for an answer to this, but most articles/videos either say “expensive crap” if they don’t like it or don’t go beyond “it’s a space sim” if they do.
Well, thanks for that in-depth answer. It’s nice to talk about the actual contets of a game for once, instead of only talking around it like it’s usually the case nowadays.
It’s very interesting to hear about all this. I actually think there are a lot of games with far worse monetisation (think all the Airplane/Train simulators where you can buy singular vehicles for hundreds of dollars).
I’ll probably won’t play it tho, I don’t have the money, Conputing Power, or time lol
This is not the first time something like this happened, some months back someone upload a mod that removed all rainbow flags from the spiderman game. Im guessing its the exact same thing like the last time: Someone made a new account to upload a mod that was only made to spark controversy. The mod itself didn’t matter, the author is just a troll that wanted a reaction from this. They knew they would get banned so they made a new account. Nexus has the same stance on this as last time: they don’t platform trolls so they removed it. It’s not about the mod, it’s about the authors intentions, which are to harm the platform
