I figured I'd mention this here for people to take advantage while it lasts. Elite Dangerous is on sale until the end of the month. It's an MMO space flight simulator. I bought it over the weekend. It's on sale on Steam for $7.50 until the end of May (marked down from its normal $30).
They just brought out a new expansion (Odyssey) that's like $40 but I'm only playing the base game, which they marked down (and which now includes the first expansion, called Horizons).
The new $40 expansion includes first person bits where you're outside of your ship.
The first expansion (now included) includes planet landing and a planetary vehicle. I haven't actually driven my planetary vehicle yet, though I've docked on a few planets for deliveries.
The game has three settings when you play. You can play in Open, which is with all the other players, in a private session with just specified other players, or in Solo, which is like single player but you're still connecting to their servers. Regardless of whether you play in Open, Private, or Solo, you're still in the same universe and it's still affected by the actions of all players. You just don't encounter them directly in Private or Solo modes. (You still see their local chat in all modes though, I think. You just don't see their ships or have risk of PVP.)
Anyway, it's on sale so I figured I'd mention it. When I get a game on sale, I like to mention it.
