I Wonder What Star Citizen Is Up To - Aftermath
I Wonder What Star Citizen Is Up To - Aftermath
Ah, it recently announced a $48,000 spaceship bundle, the latest in an ongoing line, which contains every ship in the game and is apparently only accessible to those who've already spent $1,000...
You're viewing a single thread.
Reminder that Elite:Dangerous is a game that has all that star citizen has ever promised, today. You can get it on steam.
Elite: Dangerous doesn’t hold a candle to Star Citizen in depth, immersion and fidelity.
The only thing Elite: Dangerous has Star Citizen beat on is sound design which is absolutely phenomenal.
Strongly disagree, except the sound design which is incredible.
My dreams of exploring the galaxy were fully realised in Elite: Dangerous.
I had more awe inspiring and mind blowing moments in ~100 hours of SC than in my 2000+ hours of ED. The role playing and shenanigans with other players, the diverse locations, the scale of everything... It's just so much more interesting and immersive compared to ED and continuing to get better. ED is what I expect to actually be out in our galaxy, a whole lot of nothing. 400 billion star systems with the depth of a puddle.
You're both nuts..that's too much.
What is too much? The entirely optional package for whales?
Yea… for us but there are probably a few wealthy individuals out there who are time poor and would like to buy it.
Doesn’t harm me at all so why would I care
I've spent less on SC than I did on ED and having way more fun so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Elite dangerous exists as a playable released game.
Case closed.
the day before is also playable released game 🤷🏻♂️
A playable game is always better than one that is not playable.
Star Citizen is also playable though, so what's your point?
Reread what I said:
playable RELEASED.
That depends on what you want from a game like E:D or SC. But E:D has one giant "feature": It is a finished game and you don't have to spend (incredible amounts (I know you don't have to) of) money on a promise of a final release done time in the future.
Star Citizen doesn't have as much content as you guys like to pretend it does lol
Oh another package mission to the same outpost! Oh another group of braindead AI that I have to fight!
On top of that you only have like four planets and one solar system.
dEpTh. IMmeRsIoN.
I like to dunk on SC as much as the next guy but how can you say this at all with a straight face? For starters, can I walk around my ship? Is there a story-based campaign I can play through? Are there capital ships with dozens of players with different roles working on them?
SC will never get finished or live up to the promises it made but ED barely even tries to do anything beyond being a space truck simulator.
Yes (since the latest DLC), yes (the thargoids mystery), and yes (carriers have been here for a few years).
Of course it's not exactly what you would get in SC because they're ultimately different games. But you do have all of that and more, E:D has massively improved since it came out.
DId you ever actually play ED Odyssey and SC?
You can't walk around on ships in E:D so you're either mistaken or outright lying at this point. I'm not even going to get into talking about thargoids like it's a story campaign, or how co-op works in ED.
You can walk around your fleet carrier, which is a ship you can travel in. I'm pretty sure that's what they meant.
That's just one ship though, and it's literally just walk afaik - you can't actually do anything on it. It's hardly comparable in any way
Shoutout to when I parked my Python on the Gnosis and never logged in again.
I like to imagine a huge hangar full of cobwebs and a rusted skeleton of a ship.
Eeeeehhhhh... Not really. I stopped playing Elite because it's the perfect example of what "wasted potential" means.
all that star citizen has ever promised
not before the heat death of the universe
Elite was the reason I stopped buying early access. $150 for beta that was over hyped.
