Well, most people do consider looter shooters as an offshoot of Diablo. Personally, I'm just happy to have another space game. Getting two of them (X4 expansion) in one month feels nice.

Nah....just Elite Dangerous so far. I've been eyeing DCS for a bit though.

Not hardcore. I just like the build quality. Got tired of creaky plastic HOTAS.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
The WinWing Orion is an alternative to the Warthog with better internals and stuff for a slightly higher price mind.

Just call it
"the star citizen squadron 42 that actually exists".
Funny someone finally made the Freelancer sequel and they didn't even need half a billion Eurodollars.

They will update it with a patch sometime today to make it 1.0 but it will still say EARLY PREVIEW edition.
From their steam:
EDIT: The developer tried to CIRCUMVENT some of MS's certifications process and the retarded marketing put the date for GAMEPASS as TODAY, but it looks like it won't be out until TOMORROW and will still say Early Preview.
For a small Indie team, they should know the rules, or at least their marketing team should.

Damn, so basically, when it gets updated to "Early Preview" sometime tomorrow, we can start playing, as it's pretty much the same as 1.0 and saves carryover.
That's what they're saying. I'm guessing you won't earn achievements.
What a marketing fuckup.
Apologists/morons are trying to blame MS, when the devs themselves are admitting to trying to circumvent a process.

So, if I try to use my flight stick in combination with my keyboard (for lack of a nice throttle with enough inputs) the framerate crawls to 1-2 or less because the gui constantly shifts from showing the dinput device button mappings to showing the keyboard mappings.
Will clearling all inputs and assigning each only to the device I want to use without alternate mappings for other devices fix this or it's hard coded to only utilize one device type at a time in this way?
Pretty big issue, I thought the game just ran this badly in motion for my PC when I was pressing W to thrust and at the same time had the stick tilted to turn and what not.
All cockpit games of this sort need to be able to accept more than 1 controller at once without issue. At least in the presets I didn't see anything about having both stick and keyboard, it was only that, or keyboard and mouse, or gamepad in the presets.

I was super stoked to first hear that this will ditch the rougelike style of the first game because that genre is totally not for me. I've also been waiting for so long for this to leave early access. Time to dive in at last.
Is it really a joystick game, though? The first one felt very arcade-like, as in, not really something that you'd bust out a HOTAS for.HOTAS Ready: check

Any game that has flight controls can be a HOTAS game. This game even has presets for HOTAS. I'm enjoying it so far.

Was looking forward to playing 1.0 on Game Pass PC today. This is another example of why I still buy some Game Pass games on Steam.
Microsoft should change their process for PC games, or at least let us agree and opt-in to direct game updates from devs with the "risk" of experiencing bugs.

There is an Input Method Override list in the Input menu that includes Joystick & Keyboard. Might give that a try.

Man I’ve been sleeping on this. The first one’s been in my library for some time too. Is that one similar?

This one isn't a rogue-like. Has a lot of RPG and loot elements. So far it is fun, but buggy as shit. Damn game is crashing quite a bit for me while I'm simply trying to map out HOTAS buttons.

Looks good. You’d think they’d have the bugs mostly ironed out after coming out of early access - but I’ve heard it’s a really small team,

Nice! I'm going to download the Game Pass version and see how it compares.
It's 1.0 the same game.

Respect for the 8bit Do Ultimate Controller in the back best controller of the last two years! What have we here.....a man of true culture perhaps: what appears to be a keychron Q7 tkl 70 I think. Cannot tell for sure...the backlight is throwing me off. That is probably a Logitech MX mini in which case I award you zero points...and may god have mercy on your soul.HOTAS Ready: check

Yeah, absolutely spoiled with the 8bitdo Ultimate. Best controller ever made, imo. As far as the keyboard, your first guess was better than your second. That is a Drop ENTR keyboard complete with shine-through PBT keys. Love this thing.

Ok, faith restored. Mass drop makes some good decks!
Those keyboards are so cool, if you use one all the time and constantly, you get to get this operation that looks like you've tried to slit your wrists, what's cooler than that? You can walk around saying "You wanna know how I got these scars?"

Nothing really "cool" about it. Just a basic quality backlit mechanical keyboard.

That worked, thx. Not sure it's very flight stick friendly, can't aim for shit, lol.
Oh yea, I'm saying it's not even a matter of IF it's WHEN if you're using a keyboard with no ergonomics.
EDIT: Laugh now ya clown, when you've got carpal tunnel and get that surgery I'm sure it'll shut you up.

It's an arcade style game, not Elite Dangerous, I doubt they put any effort at all into making joysticks feel good in the game.
Like going to a Kia meet up hoping to see nice cars.

I'm not having much problem aiming myself. Just having some issues with it registering the wrong inputs and crashing/freezing. Might wait until they get get another patch or two out before jumping in fully.
I'm laughing even more now that you are banned.

They stated on steam, that they've fucked it up so bad that when AUTO input is ON it thinks it'll get input from both... these guys, that and the HDR. It can cause crashes too if you don't select an input with any controller plugged in. It can even degrade performance.

Seems like Microsoft agreed to speed up the process and go straight past all the early preview/early access stuff.
It's available normally on Game Pass now.
Great, I'll probably have to download it all over again then.

Thats great to hear, gonna install it right now.
I've heard it crashes when you have MSI Afterburner running in the background. That would suck since i have Afterburner always running.

After the first hour, I am very happy with it. I love the Descent/Forsaken style of gameplay.
It's extremely loot driven in a good way. Fly to an area, destroy ships, take the loot, go back to base, and upgrade/equip. Rinse repeat. I like it.
They should try and ask Microsoft to add the game to the "new games added" part of Game Pass. That's a great way to promote it.
