ELITE DANGEROUS or NO MAN SKY??

[Roman108]

both of them are similar games that i want, but i can only afford one, i havent played either of them so im not sure what they offer, and research i did so far doesnt give much insight to what im looking for,

im leaning towards the one that offers the best CO-OP experience btw, so which is better to buy??

elite dangerous or no man sky?

Elite Dangerous - no questions asks :) It's a real SF, and has all You want to. But in both of games, You have to find Your own goal. ED is also harder for beginners.

Very different games, but if Hello Games and Elite joined forces we would have a dam good game, as in the planets, it is the planets Elite falls flat on, they look great, but empty....

I’d recommend NMS all days, waaaaay more to do.
ED is cool for what it is though

[Eviia]

My opinion it is to do a little research first, like what both games have to offer. You can look at gameplay videos too to make an ideea how the games feel like. For example i like more NMS than ED, thats why i play NMS and no ED :/. Still if you buy one and you feel you dont like it, if you played less than 2 h, you can refund it and buy the other one. Dont rush and do what you feel you will like more :). Good luck with your choice, and whatever will be have fun in the game :P.

I own both, found Elite Dangerous hard to learn (was only at beginner stage when i left it - I kind of need to play it again). No mans sky is something I certainly enjoy playing, but I find it hard to recommend to other people (May need to look at some recent reviews - people looking at current update, as the game has changed over two years it has been out).

I tried ED a little while ago, and just couldn't get into it. I vastly prefer NMS over it. But if what you're looking for is a co-op experience I'd go with ED.

Why? I thought NMS was now fully co-op?

It is, but I think that if OP is leaning more for a co-op experience, that ED would be better than NMS.

I think co-op in ED = PvP nothing much else to do.
NMS is so much more fun with friends
Edit
Also it’s important to note that
Elite dangerous is more of a space combat simulator, so if your into that... and not much else.
Still say NMS is a clear winner, wish I could flush my brain and experience NEXT like it was day one.

I'm gonna be honest though... these games are nothing alike. I love ED and I'm leaning toward really liking NMS once they work out some bugs... but these games have nothing in common in my opinion besides space travel.

I didn't play much of ED, but I have heard a lot of stories about how fun the co-op is in that game. But yeah, you're probably right.

I guess I would say, if you're leaning more towards a casual, friendly co-op experience, go with NMS, but if you want more of a challenging experience with other people, ED.

elite dangerous is not bad but you need a joy stick to really play the game , plus everything in that game is mostly done afk meaning to really be good at it you need to sit down and watch tv while you play is a grindfest but the real dissapointment of that game are the ships they all clones of one another and the best are behind a grind wall if multiplayer is what you want wel in that game most people will shoot you down before you said hi, and space is big but youll spend more time looking at the same scene for the 30th time if you moving faraway from point A to B and if you seen have seen 10 solar systems you seen them all . so in content nms is the superior game , mind you you need to learn the fundamentals of the game if not youll just be doing the same thing over and over. check tutorials .

As someone said already; they are completely different.

They have two things in common... the grind is real, and they have the word "space" on the box.

ED's best part is the Horizons expanson. If you can't afford that and the main game then wait until it is put on sale. It is a great game, and there is a lot you can do in coop, but you need friends that are willing to stick with it long enough, or you need to find an org. It is due for a major update on Q4 so, try to get it during the Autum sale.

ED doesn't need a joystick. Some of the top pilots fly with a mouse and kb. There are huge PvE groups where you can play safely, and plenty of good organizations to join. Most activities offer rewards for playing as a team, but you can play the game on your own if you so desire. There is plenty of action on the weekly events, but you have to look out for it. It is a sandbox game.

NMS is on sale right now. It is simplistic, but the documentation is incomplete. If anything, the grind is even more severe. The MP is a nice addition, but this is a Solo game at its core. I found it worth the money, specially with the discount.

Elite is WAY too grindy.

[Monkeysam]

really depends what you want from the gme.. ED is far more like a flight sim, with lots of buttons and controls and requirments to make sure you land your vehical correctly.. if that kind of thing is what you want, NMS doesn't do that.. fly the ship is easy..NMS offers plantery exporation, and survial elements, base building and a limited co op style multiplayer.

it's like comparing euro truck simulator, to GTA.. both game you drive about in.. but theyre very differnt.
