Computer games.

Anyone taken a look at Elite: Dangerous?

A spaceship exploration game, sort of like X2 and X3. Looks good, but I'm always wary of games that aren't part of steam.

They raised over £1.5m on their kickstarter so not sure what you're wary of. Hackers?

It's supposed to be good fun, especially if you get the OR too. Star Citizen (if it ever gets finished..) looks to have more depth though.

Post-release support, patches, updates etc...

I'll give Star Citizen a look.
 
Telltale collection ( walking dead s1+2, tales from the borderlands, wolf among us and game of thrones) £35 on Xbox one sales. Also £2 for the 1st episode of each one if you haven't tried them. Cracking games the walking dead like but have both. Have bought episode 1 of both GOT and borderlands to try. Season passes are on sale as well so will get the rest if I like them. Also dragon age for £35 and some others.

It's good, but lots of bugs. Its been rushed out because they promised the kickstarter backers a release in 2014. Feels a bit like playing a Beta.
I think nostalgia for the old Elite has generated a lot of interest in it.

It might be best me holding off buying it just yet, then. As cool as the concept of crowd sourced games are, it's always ambiguous what the "finished product" is.

I must admit though, I've watched loads of vids on it today and it looks a really cool game.
 
ED is awesome. Yeah there are bugs, and there is gonna be a lot of stuff added, but it is brilliant as it is now.

Disclaimer, huge Elite fan, and please note, most people will find it boring, as it just leaves you to it and doesnt hold your hand. The majority of gamers these days want instant gratification, which Elite will not give.

This, really.

Also Furey if you are comparing it to any of the X-series of games then it should be said its miles better and bigger than any of them already.
 
Really glad the new Elite is doing well. Mainly because David Braben's face is not made for crying.
