Alpher Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Took the entire hours preview but just about got to grips with the controls. Prob buy this tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furysblade Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Bought it as soon as I could. I've been playing the PC version so already had a grasp of the controls and the HUD. I've only been playing in solo but it's looking and displaying very similar to the PC. Although it looks a lot better on the big screen. Yeah there are some bugs and glitches but they've been pretty hot on sorting them in PC updates so have faith it will be the same on the Xbox.

Black Barney Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 i;m so excited to play this. Is there a free trial or something? i noticed some 335 pts in cheevos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Boy Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I heard there was an hour long trial, but I bought it straight away as I backed the kickstarter on PC in the hopes it would eventually come to console. I played it briefly on PC but my laptop does not really have the power to run it smoothly but it helped when starting out on Xbox One Impressions of the Early access The game is looking in fairly good shape, with my main issues gameplay wise being problems with missions on the bulletin board not generating properly which I imagine will get dealt with as the game gets closer to release. I do hope they beef up the tutorial system before final release as while the controls are intuitive when you get used to them they do take some time to grasp. I also think some advanced gameplay tutorials (bulletin board missions, trading, piracy, smuggling etc) would also be useful for people new to Elite as I could see people picking the game up having no idea what to do and never playing it.

ZERATUL PL Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 This game is soooo not user friendly as it is fun to play... still learning basic mechanics and loving every second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manzillo11 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 does playing the free version unlock achievements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Phoenix Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yes, you get achievements from the trial. My only problem with this game is the controls and how unforgiving it is. Besides that, it's beautiful and am loving exploring it. It's definitely not for everyone, though. The current build also has its fair share of bugs and lacks stability, but I imagine most of the issues will be ironed out by the final game's launch.

Obsulete Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I am not sure if you can but I played the preview a little bit before I bought and the only thing available to play was the training missions so you'd only have one achievement you could unlock. The PC version works the same way, if you don't own the game but have it installed you can only play the training missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood1604666655 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Grrr.... I so want to play this! My freaking confirmation email won't show up, and it's been driving me nuts! Annoying to pick something up and not be able to play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogwitch Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 same here controls are awful in this . pc my guess more friendly . i do like space games but wow again controls are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood1604666655 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Can you map the controls to your liking? I'm only wondering, because I think I'd like to change the controls of the left and right stick with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphrone Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I purchased it after playing around a bit in the trial. I'm so glad that this has come to the xbox. Controls definitely need getting used to but the game is awesome. If you remember Elite on the amiga, you have to get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackoutCal Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Picked this up and loving every second of it. Sure the controls were really weird to get used to but now I can handle them. Such a fun game - can't wait to see how it evolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zm4rc0 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Took the entire hours preview but just about got to grips with the controls. Prob buy this tonight. I found this game randomly (while watching youtube, there it was !). I used to watch on twitch how people play EVE Online, without knowing wtf is going on. (I enjoyed the view & stuff). But now that I got this game (3days ago), I'm all over it! After watching futorials for 2 - 3hrs a day I think I know some stuff (but still not enough). Can you map the controls to your liking? I'm only wondering, because I think I'd like to change the controls of the left and right stick with each other. You can change it any way you'd like it. I know some people are struggling here with controlls, so here's how I did it: if you ever played any Battlefield game & you flew a helicopter or a jet, make sure your controlls are the same as that If still confused or it is too hard, I'll take a pic of my layout of make a tutorial, just let me know Edited July 18, 2015 by Zm4rc0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
