    Default Elite dangerous

    Hey peoples,

    Has anyone else bought elite dangerous on the xbone? it's game preview at the moment which is pretty much the same as early access.

    if you want to buy it, get it on the ZA market. it seems to be the cheapest there at around R270

    [MENTION=4890]Keepa34[/MENTION], I didn't see the game available in my Xbox Store last night that I tried. Do you have to be a Preview Member to get access to it?

    I'm pretty sure I'm not a preview dashboard member so anyone should be able to find it, did you search it in the store? or just go through all the games?

    I just went through the games on the All Games list. Will try again and see if I can find it. Would love to play this game!

    For R270 I would buy the game, but just know that the game does not have a real goal. You have to make it fun for yourself in a sense and you can only do so much. To start, you have to trade to get cash (you can do bounties also, but it is way slower than trading). You can also explore and then sell the data for money, but it is also slow going.

    I played for quite a bit and got up to a Type7 trader and then I just kind of lost interest. The game started off really awesome and I loved it, but it got old and repetitive really quickly.

    Just thought I'd throw my experience of the game in here :3

    I'll be that one dude that tells you not to buy this rubish game considering I pledge during Alpha a fortune.

    It is grindy as hell with extreme load times in super cruise, even in solo play.

    Here's why:-

    I officially hate this game now, like way beyond anything else.
    I bought 32 imperial slaves to be traded, accidentally jettisoned them(because home and end are so close together), eskom power cut came. Login, lost 600 000cr.
    There is easy way to get those credits back except grinding my life away for an entire week, 4 hours a day with the Mk.II taking down pirates for an effective +/- 15 000cr a kill that takes 10 mins each.

    what was more sad was that I was trading those slaves for 20 000cr profit.

    Found it via the xbox store site here: https://store.xbox.com/en-US/Xbox-On...d-aefa0915c90c . Can't comment on the quality of game play on the XB1 (I have it on PC) but remember there were a couple of issues on PC launch.

    For what it's worth, I sort of agree with Archie on the game play becoming a bit repetitive after a while. That said, I haven't played since the Powerplay update went live, so not sure how that affected things.

    At R270 it may still be a worthwhile buy, but maybe "Try It Free" first to make sure it's what you expect.
