Thank you very much. Wanted to try it even though I like more Elite Dangerous.
sure, cause you have played star citizen so you can make that sort of judgement call.
I like how Elite Dangerous looks, plays and feel…the sounds and the atmosphere are incredible, and mechanics are awesome.
What I saw about Star Citizen (downloading as we speak) is not impressive and gave me the “feeling” of arcade more than the simulator is trying to be (playing it with a controller like some do is laughable).
Of course I’m not stupid and know that the game is really early in development to judge it for what it is now and I am not saying that one is better than the other, I just like one more than the other…is MY choice.
Is all about tastes and preferences not sure why you said that comment at all…
Internet, the place in where YOUR OWN OPINIONS are wrong…lol
The internet: Where people voice their opinions before they’ve used the product.
Let’s put an example: You watch a trailer of a game…then you can tell by yourself if the game is good for you or not…even by not playing it right?…Well this is basically the same thing.
Watched gameplays and one suits me more than the other, as simple as that.
The internet v3.0: The place in where everyone tries to outsmart the others all the time. 😉
You’re free to have an opinion and to express it, but others are free to expose that opinion as ignorant, too.
You haven’t played it so your opinion, as of right now, simply doesn’t matter.
Played it and still like Elite Dangerous more. The immersion feels quite better in my opinion, the sounds are incredible and the way the weapons feel as well, compared to Star Citizen.
Of course that could change in the future but as of now I like more Elite Dangerous.
Happy now?
Yeah man, no hard feelings here. I hope you play what you like 🙂
You bet mate…but have in mind that Star Citizen is still really cool…I want to see what the final product will be.
As a game “No Man’s Sky” is also looking pretty damn good…far from being a simulator but the idea is quite cool. 😉
I’m actually looking forward to No Man’s Sky way more than Star Citizen, even though I’m already in SC for $120. I’ll probably need to pick up Elite as well. It looks like Elite will be really awesome with Nvidia 3D Vision, too, since it’s optimized for the Oculus Rift.
Ah, but still – all the space games I’m anticipating are far in the future 🙁
terrible analogy. dragon age 2 looked good in a trailer, then it turned out to be the biggest piece of shit game ever made. watch dogs looked insane at e3, but it turned out to be a shit game as well. ya, that analogy doesnt hold up. sorry.
Of course you like Elite more because Elite is nearly done and is actually polished where as SC is not, they have a lot more to go in development so save your judgment on an unfinished product.
SC is not arcade when it has such complex systems like the flight model and everything else, maybe you feel that way because the flight model is new but I don’t know since you bring no arguments for your case of SC being arcade, SC does however feel different than people are used to that’s a fact.
But SC is modeling real space flight and learning how to fly with it will take time for people that are used to the atmospheric model like Elite has, as it’s a completely different feel, which I like and I wouldn’t want them to feel the same as I’ll be playing them all.
We only have arena commander now that’s just a tiny part of the real game which will much more expansive, the HUD is largely unfinished but you can use it to manage and divert you shields and power, that’s something you don’t get in arcade, so your non existent argument for SC being arcade is being dismantled.
Also you can walk in space, if the landing gears work when in freeflight to the landing pad, can you do that in Elite ? Nope 🙂
That you have components on the ship that can be individually destroyed like the maneuvering thrusters, guns, tail, wings and even the pilot. There is no arcade that I know of that gives you such complexity in engagements, but please enlighten me with the most amazing arcade game ever.
Also Elite had already finished 2 years of development before their kickstarter, so they are considerably ahead of SC in development of their game as they’ve had a lot more time to do it.
Can’t wait for Citizen con (October 10th) and Pax Australia (October 30th) . Little teaser for Squadron 42 will be great .
I’ve had AC for months now but have yet to play it. It doesn’t support the joystick I have. Also, I don’t want to burn myself out on it, especially while hitting bugs and glitches along the way. That equals instant frustration. I’ll gladly wait until this game is out of Alpha. Heck, I knew going into this that my investment wouldn’t pay off for some years.
Same here. I like getting alpha/beta games and playing for just a tiny bit to see what they are doing but I am not going to spend all my time playing so I can ruin the game having experienced it all as it grows from one stage to another.
I got it, at first when i saw it .. i was like “wtf , this is IT? look like garbage man..” it was also pretty buggy , graphical glitches all over my face … then i realized its just an alpha , lol
Thx! Nice…
That is pretty cool, I wonder if they will let them try 0.9 if it comes out in time. I really want to see my new hangar, and race my M50!
