This is interesting! $0.50 an hour (or even $1) seems like a high bar to set for "good". That means a AAA game is only good if it breaks 50-100 hours? Yikes. Then again, people all have different amounts of time and thus different standards for things like this. I am happy to see some...

How is play time not a measure of enjoyment? Do people really spend dozens of hours playing games they don't like?

I want to know. I see a surprising amount of posts (Anthem is the game du jour) that are negative about the game, but then state play times in the 40-80 hour range. I understand this might be to counteract comments like "you never gave it a chance", but that is downright silly. 4 hours is "a...

There is an 890 Jump club? how does one join that?

Thanks so much!

This is the truth of most game reviews these days.

890 Jump. No problem can't be solved with hob-nobbing.

Can't wait for the TEST 890 regatta.

They have previously stated that the 890J is the closest thing the game has to the original Idris concept, just fancier.

Thanks for your help, TEST! Also, my understanding is that it might be available on Boxing Day? It was 2 years ago on Boxing day. We'll see though. The whole "buyback is subject to change" warning did give me pause. I think the Mercury is more important to me than the Glaive. Maybe if I...

I'm confused. There appear to be conflicting answers here, and several truly random posts. Also, people seem pretty confident that the Mercury AND the San'tok.yai will release in the next three months? I don't follow development that closely but doesn't that seem incredibly unlikely? I think...

Risk aside (I appreciate the warning though).... When you say "the upgrade" do you mean the Hull B -> Mercury upgrade would be permanently lost? Or the Glaive upgrade? I'm okay if the Glaive upgrade is lost (since I'll have a sweet alien medium fighter).

Lots of people are probably bummed about losing all the drug running money they made when the Expo loaned them a Cutlass Black.

I bought a San'tok.yai. I am not interested in the Khartu-Al loaner so I have come up with a scheme based on store credit I have. I am not comfortable with the melting/buyback system yet, so I want to check if the following will work. I currently have a San'tok.yai warbond and a HullB->Mercury...

Rebuilt my Origin fleet, along with some friends. The 315P is probably actually a 325A (I have the CCU, but haven't applied it since 325A is a loaner for the 890), and I have a Hull-B -> Mercury CCU which is just waiting to see which ship releases first. That is an X1 between the cyclone-rn and...
