Elite Dangerous Vs Star Citizen

[Morcar]

What's the best for you?

[Mu77ley]

Elite is a game, Star Citizen is a dream slowly dissolving into nightmare.

If CIG even exist as a functioning entity by the end of this year I'll be shocked.

Star citizen is my retirement plan.

Star Citizen has the same problems as Elite Dangerous.
It's not EvE online, so both Games don't have real content. ;-)

Both Games don't have a fully player driven economy.
Both Games have small instances compared to the thousend of potential players a instance in EvE can have.
In both Games this small instances makes it impossible for players to control or blockade a system or a station.
Elite Dangerous has Solo Mode, Star Citizen has the PvP slider - so that noob players can avoid PvP...

Both Games are also not Mass Effect, so shagging an extraterestrial lifeform isn't possible.
We all now that a "Space Game" needs a fully player driven economy, blocking other players, forcing them to PvP and fornication with aliens from outher space, so both Games are no "Space Games" ;-)

SC has a PvP slider?! can you elaborate a bit how thats supposed to work?!

I have played both of them game SC and ED. This moment ED is best choice for stable gameplay and viewing lots of planets even landing on them. But for SC they have changed alots and will alway keep changing plus not optimze till all contends are in and ship costs real money.

ED cons

You can not walk around or enter station

SC Cons

real money buy ship and extreamly bugs even frame rate per seconds is shocking

But SC still working on and dont forget ED been working on it much longer then SC as ED been out since 1984 i think if am correct. So for now ED is best choice for stable gameplay but still can not be compares toward SC. Because SC still got alots to do in their own game. And if ED get walk around and enter station aswell as what SC does then maybe that would kill SC 100% off which would not be fair at all for SC devs

Anybody up for making a pretend-bet on how many times this question/subject will be asked/raised here on the steam forum over the next say, year?

Imma start and say that it will be asked 105,8 times.
(,8 because some of them will only contain part of the question x)

Lets make it interesting. Instead of pretend bets, how does 10 tons of gold sound? (in Elite, I don't have any real gold).

I'm going with 156. 3 times per week...

No. The first Elite game was released in 1984. Elite Dangerous has only been in development since 2014 or there abouts.

Ok so we see one about twice a week so I will go with 104 times.

10 tons of painite is my wager.

And who is keeping track of this?

It's a planed feature and first mentioned 2012:

At this point I’ve been handed back to the Galaxy Server, which is determining whether I will encounter a hostile, someone that has tagged me as a POI, or a predetermined encounter on the way, or if I’m going to run across ongoing battle instance that is relevant to me (some members of the instance are aligned against or with me). These encounters could be with an NPC or a live player(s) and are sorted on skill level and also – which is important to all of you that like a more single player experience and don’t want to deal with griefers – based on your player versus player (PvP) preference. So if you’ve set your game settings to be low PvP and you’re in a relatively safe area, you’ll likely have an NPC (PvE) encounter as opposed to a PvP one.

According to this draft Star Citizen will use the same kind of smart instances and on the fly moving between them as Elite Dangerous.

From what ive seen it boils down to this, elite tends to be more inclined towards the realistic nerdy stuff, not to say the game is totally realistic, but it depicts space as close as it gets to reality imo, its a game that relies very much on the imagination of the player, you gotta search your purpose in the game. Starship citizen on the other hand is more inclined towards fantasy space ala star wars, it is more about space drama just like wing commander, its bound to focus more heavily on story based aspects and movie science fiction more than reality. I prefer Elite because i like nerdy space stuff, being able to get on a ship and visit far away places that exist in realty speaks to me, it just feels more on the real side and i like how frontier still employs the classic 80 90 gameplay where you had to find stuff for yourself, i mean many of the mistery solving in elite happens outside of the game it self. When i play starship citizens it feels like im watching a space movie rather than being in space, if you get my meaning. I think both games cater to diferent crowds, and both are very ambitious projects

Don't be daft. It's obviously No Mans Sky.

I have both. Both are good but only one is finished and functional.

ED also supports VR which is the killer feature. SC won't get much of my interest until they (a) finish the game and (b) implement VR as well as ED did.
