Kerbal space program

Anyone play it?

I love watching Youtube videos of it. I downloaded the trial version and decided it was too complicated for me at the time. That's a game with a steep learning curve for the new player.

I'm a big space travel nerd (not even close to being a rocket scientist though) and it's amazing what some people have built and used in the game.

I'd personally prefer Astroneer...

Yeah I'm struggling setting up the orbits, it's all about trajectory and math. Not good with both

Just had a look at this yesterday....my kind of game.... but because its currently in early release Sony won't touch it yet.... I will wait

The old version got scrapped as the company who ported it over did a very poor job of it. This new KSP is alot better now, it's on ps4 now

Is this game a good buy?

I have around 1500 hours in Kerbal and I still havnt seen or done everything that you can do. I got it at version .18 and was the best $10(?) i have ever spent and the mods add a ton to it. I spent a couple of month just building planes when the hangar came out and didnt see space for a long time after that.

For me its quite complicated by using technical words and numbers.

Is it fun though?

[eric21]

It is esp when building rockets and see them exploding. Its also fustrating too but thats a good thing

I have over 500 hours in KSP. It is one of my all time favorite games.

It is a science / engineering / flight simulation game. It is good for you if you are interested in space flight, and like simulation / building/ puzzle games. You will probably have to watch videos to learn how to do things (there are a lot to chose from). Most of the maneuvers are not that difficult, but I found rendezvous took a lot of videos before I got it. But when I did it was fantastic.

If you like that sort of thing it is a great game within that genre. Maybe the best.

I don't play it, but I really like this video from a guy I follow on Youtube... [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F0iNDMMTwM[/youtube]

Kerbal is amazing, if you're into simulations. If you are a science/space nerd and enjoy following up with some extra reading outside the game, it's even better. It can be intimidating at first, but even the maths isn't bad once you start putting it into practice. Your brain will love you for it, and seeing Jebediah's face when he reaches orbit makes it all worth while.
