More able to survive the oncoming famine ! <| sep |> It ' s absolutely unreasonable to come to a game community that is based around certain concepts , and act like a special snowflake and make selfish demands based around your lazy desire to avoid having to build a basic skill set . Elite Dangerous has a solo mode . It ' s exactly the same as the online mode except without the other people . And for all its faults , that game does a pretty good job at accommodating a lot of different types of players . It ' s not even remotely selfish to want to avoid PvP , what the hell does that take away from you ? Targets ? Well attack the NPCs if they ' re all the same to you . Shockingly , I ' d rather not deal with random assholes that demand I hand over my cargo and then blow me up anyway for teh lulz , or shootout my engines leaving me stranded and bored out of my mind until some NPC rescue arrives or some other asshole comes along to finish me off . I don ' t want to deal with people standing in doorways and blocking it off , or people spamming chat with nonsense and SQ 42 spoilers or whatever , and I don ' t want people jumping all over bar tables and doing other random immersionbreaking shenanigans . And some of these things could be solved in various ways by CIG and they should be for the people who do enjoy playing with others . But it ' s not unreasonable for people to not want to deal with it at all . This is the kind of option that will absolutely make people buy Elite over SC . If I didn ' t already own Elite , and SC were already out right now , I would not be rushing to buy SC even though it ' s one of my dream games . The only online I ' d ever want to do is me and a few friends , and otherwise just me and the NPCs . This is not an unreasonable or uncommon request and it ' s only going to grow as SC gets closer to release . there is no telling how NPCs or players will act when they meet youUnless video game AI has made some drastic quantum leaps in the last 24 hours , yes there is . It ' ll very on exactly how much information the game mechanics , UI , and animations give you , but most NPCs are completely predictable . Fucking pussies , grow a pair , man up , learn how to stay safe . And people wander why I don ' t want to play online with others .
