Bounty Hunting - Elite Dangerous vs. Star Citizen 

Sound design in elite is in a league of its own, to be fair. All game categories included. The knob was turned all the way up to "divine".

I NEED THOSE sc explosions in elite

@@plutoidrepublic2765 agreed! The feedback on hits and explosions in SC look amazing. Sound in Ed is just way better.

the thrusters in Star citizen are only firing when they need to... and ships tend to have better internal sound dampening in the game as well. The ship I fly in star citizen sounds like a B-17 with it's massive wing mounted engines when they fire up.

I dunno, the instant nova seems off to me. In ED it looks like the ships actually come apart, you can see pieces go in every direction. The nova in SC just feels like someone copied the way the deathstar exploded. I actually prefer ED for this aspect.

Hey man, in your opinion is star citizen worth getting into in its current state?

@@Taternader it's basically a functional tech demo. It's prettier than elite but there's quite a bit less to do, and only one star system (at the moment). If you're interested, I would only get the most basic starter pledge package (aurora or mustang) priced at about $50. You can purchase ships in-game with in-game currency, but the credit grind is a little worse than elite, and everyone's accounts get wiped once every few patches (every 12-18 months), so every once in a while you basically have to start over.

@@CrimsonGamer99 OK thanks for the info

@@Taternader Keep in mind that SC also has occasional Free Fly events, where you can jump into the game for a couple days for free and try out some of the ships. So before you buy, I highly recommend trying that to see if it's to your liking and if it runs okay on your setup. Be sure to look up guides online if your performance is bad.

@@coenogo thanks for the tip I'll have to look for the next free fly and give it a try.

SC has more than just red beams. But in the current patch these are one of the best choices. But you can also have blue firing weapons. Gatlings. Shotgun. And more. But yes. In Elite you have more and SC could offer more different weapons. But because they do much testing you will have to wait.

there are a lot of more weapon in SC than ED right now

@@dickduran For ships? No. Many weapons share same stats with different names. This point goes to ED.

@@vonrosphe3098 its about how much weapon are in and there is a lot more in SC , but weapon damage type yes there more in ED

@@vonrosphe3098 SC has Ballistic gatlings and repeaters (which are actually different weapon types, ballistic scatterguns, ballistic cannons. When it comes to lasers there are repeaters, cannons and scatterguns... all 3 have varied types ranging from distortion and neutron to plasma and tachyon... all four actually have different uses. Finally different missles, all types have different uses and there are three different lock on types... IR, IM and cross section

I only play ED and I agree in reverse. I want that hit feedback and explosions from SC in Ed. The screen shake, and look are incredible

Agree. (Ex-ED-Pilot here, currently DRG-Dwarf). What I miss the most about SC would be the FA/Off-option (which is NOT a different version of SC's "decoupled"). Since I learned it, there is no way back for me. It really feels like I am flying a Space-SHIP, instead of the usual Space-PLANE. (Plus I am very passionate PvE'er, so unless SC provides me a little "Safe-Space", I will most likely stick to DRG and the memories ED provided. ;) I really hope for everyone that SC will turn into the dream it is supposed to be. (And that ED will start to be more about fun then about grind..... well, one can dream... :) What ever you fly, where ever you fly: have fun! :D

I play both and agree that both games can learn a lot from each other. ED just has way better user interface and control surfaces - SC's just feels klunky at best. On the other hand, SC has a far more detailed immersion level when it comes to the atmosphere / walking on ships / detail of the world etc. which makes ED feel like a poor-man's knock off version. ED has a massive galaxy to explore, and exploration is a huge part of the game. SC on the other hand has a handful of planets but each planet has entire cities that you can walk around as a player. Would be awesome if we can merge / combine the two games and take the best parts of them XD Personally I'ma stick to ED for a while until SC is a bit less crashy / buggy - but I know I'd eventually migrate over once those issues are more bearable, since the world just feels more alive with how you can interact with it as a player. Even if it's a much much smaller world.

​@@thespectator1243there is no space plane things, just the on board computer correcting ship trajectory to keep the set speed for you

@@soap_off I know that and I agree. It was just a figure of speech. Because it _feels_ more like flying a plane than and actual space-ship. That being said, I never actually was in control of either. ^^

It's hard to hear in this video, but in Star Citizen, the Aegis cockpit voice says "Kill."

Kinda par for the course for star citizen, and elite's framerate is godawful on foot but better in space.

Oh. You meant FPS as in Frames per Second. I thought you meant First Person Shooter and I was like "what how"

@@CrimsonGamer99 FPS in SC is very good indeed especially on the gunplay. But that "module" in ED is quite good tbh.

@@CrimsonGamer99 ED needs to put those sick explotions too in game

Engineering can take you a long way

tbf they shouldn't look like anything interesting in space

@@derf5045 Or sound like anything either, but ya.

@@FakeJeep thats the part that suck me into elite, when your canopy breaches and its practically silence... the game has its problems but i love it so much i would love to give SC a chance too but idk if my 10400f rtx2060 will squeze anything above 20fps there

@@derf5045hat about ur ram and storage? 32gigs of ram and the game on an nvme ssd. you will have more than 20fps when you have that, ur system is ready for flight 😁

@@GermanAcesHDx 16gb's and sadly only 3000mhz, i plan on buying a nvme as i only have a sata ssd currently

Well, one is a broken, buggy mess whose entire purpose today is to act a money laundering scheme through online microtransactions, and the other is Star Citizen.

@@CrimsonGamer99 Frontier moment

@@CrimsonGamer99 last time i tried to play elite i got soft locked in a room and i have not touched it since

@@esotericegoism7536 How?

@@sparkyails123 i logged off on a planetary base and i can't access my ship through the dock its whatever

You mean Odyssey update 1? I think I noticed the 15 fps on an RTX3070 BEFORE I fell out of the elevator in the space station, so technically that would be first.

@@CrimsonGamer99 lmao. I also fell through the elevator, and the game still runs like trash

@@pro11790 picked up odyssey not long ago My worst mistake in terms of graphics/fps Same happened when horizons got 4.0 update On 3.8 everything was beatiful and runned smoothly on ultras But when 4.0 came my anti-alising died with fps Now its more like "how to get 30 fps out of this game, without making it look like potato"

@@CrimsonGamer99 stop the cap

@@CrimsonGamer99 What is it with space games and elevators being in a constant state of quantum superposition?

Flying cargo isn't that great in Star Citizen. The money gained is very low and getting a ship that can do it well will take a while. Unless your willing to buy a cargo ship with real money off the bat. That option can be very expensive. Plus with the soon to be patch 3.18.0 it will be harder as pirating will become more prevalent. Although I do invite to join the verse, I would do some serious research before joining.

@@sparkyails123 a cutty black can run cargo vwery very well

@@Unisylvekitty I would say it fly's well but the amount of money per trip is awful and money per hour can be low. Plus do to the limitations in the game it can be very boring going from the same places patch after patch. As trading in star citizen very stagnant, as there are no missions for it or super profit rich routes. Well there are but everyone is using them so there isn't enough to go around.

If you just want to do space trucking, Elite is the game to go with. You can haul cargo for missions, buy your own commodities and make a lot more than you do in SC, and you can play for hours without a bug wiping out your investment. SC is definitely the prettier game though. I sort of think of SC vs Elite and being like both ends of the dating spectrum. SC is like the bitchy supermodel that your friends are all jealous of when they see the pictures but they don't really know her. Elite is like the plain looking girl that has a hot dinner ready for you when you get home from work and gives you a massage after dinner while she asks about your day.

if you dont know what to do in elite then you are lost. there is our entire galaxy with millions of systems you can travel to and do whatever you want plus a background simulation thats keeping this whole galaxy alive. can elite be optimized? sure it does...but saying there is no actual content is laughable

Bruh there's a whole ass ai driven war going on throughout the entire bubble c'mon man I enjoy your content, and this comment disappoints me, yea fdev is a bit shitty but c'mon they're trying

i have to agree with the other two here, the actual content is there, there just should be more of it, i really enjoy the game as it is now but there could be more to it. the game right now focuses heavily on combat and that kinda sucks, other parts of the game that could be as engaging as combat are kinda left unfinished. lets take for example: Scavenging, i would love to be a space scrapper, flying to crashed ships, harvesting valuable materials out of them to then sell or use on my hardware... it could be so much more engaging with ship interiors, you could walk around crashed ships, cutting panels out with your arc cutter and harvesting electronics etc. instead we have a garbage crashed probe with one panel to cut open... cmon... and why are there those weird drones at some of them, who put them there why tf are they there exploration is ok'ish at the state it is now but there could be much more to it, more ruins of some ancient civilizations advanced or not. actual crashed ships like with scavenging. weather on planets etc. i would also love for planets to have caves if they really want to focus on the legs part of the game its still fun but could be much more fun

@@derf5045 just kinda bland… right?

@@Mughragh trying? really? we seriously haven’t got a ship in years

what are you saying dude ED startred his develoment a lot lot before and these guys already have a 30 year old engine , but ED planned since 1996 and they working on it a lot of time before 2005 they just cancel it and restart the dev with more fund the think they never show how they progress openly, if you think they make elikte in 2 years you dont know nothing about game dev but ED is the 3th longest develoment time game ever.

@@dickduran "you don't know nothing about game dev", so i know something? cheers mate. Truth is that i know nothing about "game dev", it's not my field of expertise, games have been developed within two years in the past (they were obviously smaller in scale compared to ED) but that's not the point. I have said the kickstarter started two years before its release, which you could've read and understood but judging from your comment you were busy having a stroke. SC started their kickstarter in 2012, (more than) ten years later it's in a barely playable state. That was my point, maybe i could've phrased it better. Have a great day regardless duran duran, love your music.

@@Linkontro 2 years for a COD maybe but for game like ED or SC it took years look Good and evil 2 its already 15 years since they annucend it

@@Linkontro ED kickstarter was in 2012 but most of the game was already in but they need like 15millon and 2 released to make it into a gold version but they was on beta by that time and the game was in alpha since 1996 they just rename it.

More cig shill goalpost moving. Maybe next time they will say server meshing was already ingame when it actually didnt. 😏

SC ships can be bought with in-game currency, and the grind isn’t nearly as bad as ED.

@@drksideofthewal at least the missions arent buggy and no 30ks to ruin my fun.

@@Underb00t ED not buggy? I once saw a guy take an entire space station with him into hyperspace.

ED a released game? They just call it this way. Yes for the space part. But the FPS Combat seems more a tech demo than a released version. And it's a sad story that (at least for me and many other players) SC offers a better game experience. I really loved playing ED. But the devs just don't want to make a good game.

@@vonrosphe3098 ok but dont be huffing too much on that copium dude, its not healthy. Its either a game where its features are there but the devs ain’t executing it correctly or the other game that takes their sweet ass time while idiots buy nft ships for obscene amounts of money for a lackluster game. I prefer yo explore the galaxy than be marooned on one star system TEN years in the making. Good luck on that road to pyro dude

lol SC have more content than ED right now , the only thing that ED have more is systems.

Xeno, Life, ..

No its a different beast altogether. SC has promised but failed to deliver many things like an economy/faction simulation that Elite already has. It also has much better on foot and spaceship gameplay outside of combat. Everything in SC is much more tactile.

@@dickduran well, thats part of content, isnt it? millions upon millions of systems and i think sc doesnt have an ai driven background simulation

@@blackjaguar254 not yet but the Background simulation aka (quantum system) will be a lot lot more complex that the BGS of ED look for it its like a BGS combine with the nemesis system for shadow of morder plus a lot of more thing
