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...

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.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Elite dangerous exists as a playable released game.

Case closed.

[-] johnlobo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

the day before is also playable released game 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

A playable game is always better than one that is not playable.

[-] ricdeh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Star Citizen is also playable though, so what's your point?

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Reread what I said:

playable RELEASED.

[-] Avigrace@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] daddybutter@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've spent less on SC than I did on ED and having way more fun so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] EarMaster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.
