This thread is for everything Kerbal Space Program. Post pics, memes, whatever about KSP here at this thread.

Game is expensive. Demo is fun. Almost managed full orbit. Got bored. Relieved I hadn't bought full game. Full game is expensive.

However.

Am extremely happy game exists and is sucessful.

How is it $23 expensive?

It's the average price of three I-MUST-ABSOLUTELY-FIRST-BUY-NOW gog games.

Most gog games are old. This is new and has lot's of content. It's less than 1/2 of the price of regular new releases.

It isn't my cup of tea but I looked at the web site and from what I saw I think $23 is a pretty fair price if not a steal. There are alot of countrys out there who wish their actual space program was as advanced as this game. I myself like my space sims more realistic, like Tyrian. Of course, if Kerbal had carrot ships and banana guns it would be more in the $150 to $200 range.

I think it's a great game. Sometimes it's fun to take a break from shooting things and just drift around peacefully in space... until you crash down in a fiery explosion.

I am in the same boat on price - demo is fun, but not sure if it is $20 fun to buy.

I'm not talking of price fairness. But of amount of fun I get. And "old" doesn't make games less fun to me.

I am not saying that people shouldn't buy kerbal -I even stated that I'm happy of its success- but why it's not on my personal buying list.

keep in mind that the demo is very out dated.

Considering the amount of hours my brother has played this, I can't quite agree on the price. It offers more than enough to justify it.

As for myself, I fear I lack the patience. It's a game I'm watching, though (partly because my brother won't shut up about it), so I'm guessing I'll take the plunge at some point.

This game is brilliant. Some of the things are quite difficult but I have had so much fun with it. It's not even finished yet and there is just so much enjoyment to get out of it.

Reminds me of Danny on Youtube minus the peaceful part.


It is very fun. Got a space station set up. But the pictures are on another computer as I'm typing on a small Win Vista laptop.

I was really trying the demo as a demo. It's quite playable. And while I understand the amount of effort and detail put in it, I had the impression that the core elements were there, and that if I feel I've "exhausted" the demo (in terms of fun I take from the gameplay), then the additional devices of the full version (planets, rocket parts, walks) wouldn't add a huge lot to it.

Am I wrong, though ? Does the full version really add new dimensions to the gameplay ?

They have added docking, so you can build spacecraft in orbit, go for an Apollo style Mun Landing, build space stations, bases, etc. Landing struts (essential), IVA (Intra Vehicular activities. Right now it's just an inside view, but it was added last update, .17, and .18 mainly focused on Docking, re texturing, etc.), tutorials (only two, but it was this update, .18.), probes, and scenarios. Right now it's in Alpha, but the full version is waaaaaayyy better than the demo. And if you by it now, all updates are FREE.
