What’s so good about Elite Dangerous? I hoped to enjoy it but bounced off pretty quickly.

    Elite Dangerous is a game of grind. They have taken steps to reduce the grind in recent updates but it is still a grind fest. For example, I took part in the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. I traveled across the galaxy and discovered worlds nobody else has ever seen. It was boring at times. It felt like a job at times. However, after months of grind, I was glad I did it. Distant Worlds 3 launched recently but I did not join. Once is enough. I also earned enough rank to buy a Federal Corvette, and then sold it because I didn’t get along with it. That was also a grind but I am glad I did it. Don’t get me started on unlocking engineers. Oh my God, that’s a whole new level of grind. They have made it a bit easier since I started playing but it still a lot of work. I know I’m not selling the game well. Unless you enjoy the grind, it really isn’t something you would stick with. Doing anything is a slog and requires a bit of planning to execute. I must enjoy that or something. Also, space. Who doesn’t love space?
