I can't wait for my kids' kids' kids to finally be able to play Star Citizen on Early Access.
😂😂😂
You're being rather optimistic.
Why can't you play now?
@@billywashere6965 have you tried playing now? I just returned after 6 month away only to be greeted with constant crashes (the 'game' not my flying), things called 30ks left right and centre and STILL no more systems other than the one it started with when my grandad was born. So, lets just say i may be back in another 6 months to see if they have fixed anything but i have now started chanting if they dont wanna fix shit then im not going to play shit....anymore. Uninstalled and deleted account, have gone back to pokemon go.
maybe their grand children will play it.
Just FYI: Elite Dangerous does have multi-crew ships. Other players, or even NPC crew can operate systems in your ship that you designate. You can even allow human pilots/NPCs to launch in fighters from your ships and fly around if you want. I haven't tried ground SRV control, but I suppose that's possible as well for human pilots.
elite, the game everyone loves to hate
@@nickgurr5328 it would be better if they at least played it in the last decade so we don’t get misinformed info. Lol so much has changed, yet no one even looks.
I kind of get the impression he hasn't played Elite and is just going by YT videos.
If you haven't tried SRV's, you really should. It's got a pretty cool scanner you can use to find minerals for crafting, you can find cargo to sell on planets, and you can do some combat.
In Horizons, you couldn't deploy multiple SRV's from a ship you were using for mulitcrew, so if you wanted to drive around with friends each of you would have to land your ship and deploy an SRV. This made sense since you were supposedly just a hologram in multicrew.
My understanding is that in Odyssey, you can have multiple people actually present on the ship and can deploy multiple SRV's on planets. (or have a friend deploy from your ship in an SRV while you provide air support)
@@the_omg3242 I agree with what you are saying. I have been so busy killin Goids and I haven’t even driven a Scorpion yet. I got one on a ship now tho. Should be able to try multi-crew SRV soon.
@@battlevortex My friends called me to elite dangerous because they knew I was a crazy grinder. I joined them, and I immediately had the goal of
!PURCHASING ANACONDA AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! (With in game credits without putting money in game.) And I grinded and grinded the game. After 2 days and 15 hours (real time) without sleep, I bought anaconda and all the modules to it with weapons and special seats for my friends to use the ships to fly. I even had enough credits to buy even bigger ships 😂 But my friends told me I couldn't buy them as it requires joining some alliance and I was not interested in that. Since the day I bought anaconda I played another 5-10 hours and never opened the game. Because… my friends just left the game. Called me in I made this crazy shit and they just left the game bruh. 😒
Anyways, all I did was buy cargo ships and started buying and selling goods from planet to planet, from minerals and materials to slaves. (Non stop 2 days and 15 hours)
Oh sorry, I forgot to mention and give huge thanks to my friends, as they showed me the fastest way to get the credits, and the rest was up to me how fast I would get that amount of money and the big ships to reach Anaconda. My friend already had Anaconda when I joined them and he told me that he had to grind about 3-4 months to get it.
I never tried any other features like landing on a planet or smh else. 😂
Of all the games the ship handling is by far the best in Elite. In standard space Elite has near perfect space physics with seemless transitions between F/A off and on. The ships all handle differently based on their mass, their equipped modules, the engineering on those modules, the weight they add to the ship, and incoming weapons fire can even knock your around. In supercruise (FTL) Elite uses "real" Alcubierre principles for faster than light speed, taking into account the mass and proximity of stellar objects on your warp field. None of the other games even bother with accurate or even scientifically approximate FTL. Elite treats FTL as a physical part of the game whereas in the others its mostly just a form of generic fast travel.
As for the story. Elite has lore going back nearly 40 years. It also has an in game galactic history going back millions of in game years. While a lot of that isn't in the game per se (or has yet to be uncovered/solved) it can be researched and applied to ongoing events in the game. To this day we're still working on in game mysteries that date back to the original 1984 game. What makes Elite seem shallow is just how little of a dent has been put into solving the various mysteries of the game and how little the game does to steer you into the story. While that does little to satisfy a true story mode, it opens up the back story to anyone willing to do the research and then seek out their hypotheses in game. You don't have to progress a story or line of missions to find the alien sites and begin working out what they are. Elite has a deep story and vast amounts of lore, it's just handled far differently than most other games. Instead of telling a story, the story is preexisting and we're meant to piece it together through a variety of methods both in game and outside of the game lore research. Elite has various forms of media outside the game that can be used as bread crumbs to figure out what's going on in game. In this aspect none of the other games mentioned come close to Elite's story.
Ship interiors do look alike in Elite if you're only looking at the HUD. When you put on a VR headset the differences between the ships, the details put into the interior construction, and the sheet scale of the ships really comes through. When you start out in the Sidewinder it feels small, cramped, and vulnerable... when you get in the Asp Explorer you are surrounded by the glass canopy that juts you out into space, surrounding you with the views of space. Then there's the Anaconda; you can look around a see a full spacious bridge, the multi crew seats, and all the details that went into creating a bridge that is at least 500 sqr/ft.
Obviously I'm a bit biased toward Elite but as someone who has been playing Dangerous since launch and the franchise since the 80s, I have to point out where certain features have only been judged on what seems like a surface level viewing of the game.
excellent comment :) Glad I read the whole thing.
I agree with you, even though I'm only a casual Elite player. It's amazing. I love the lore and do wish they would put a bit more of it into the game.
I've been playing Elite dangerous since 2015. Solely in VR. It's hands down one of the best VR experiences out there. It's not without its flaws, but overall it's just a better game than the others for the time being. I tried No Man's sky in VR and it was just too goofy of a game for me, Star citizens concept is the dream VR game but currently it's mostly a mess, It's playable to a certain degree but it has too many flaws for me to spend much time on it.
As a console player I both love Elite and hate it.
I understand their decision to stop updates for us but Im sure they could have kept us going with non FPS stuff.
All i want is content, like updates to ships and power play as well as the thargoid story moving on. Being dropped from everything is such a waste of a fan base. 😢😢😢😢
Do another video in 30 years. Which is better? X-8, Elite Dangerous 5 or Star Citizen pre-release?
Good one 😂
😂
Star Citizen isnt really a game yet, one day but not yet.
My Favorite so far is X4. However, that might change if they do not keep up with the other games.
On the features of Elite Dangerous you missed out on Faction Politics which becomes a large part of the game for an interactive multiplayer experience. IE sabotaging other factions to gain power in a system
true . I don't think he is well in formed on the game much. sound like he only tried it for a short time.
Nah not worth mentioning it is a failed mechanic and abandoned by fdev not even close to stuff you see in eve etc
If SC does finally get released, I hope they dedicate a station in my name "To the guy that waited"
"Now docking with Infinite Wait Time. Please watch your step as you exit the dock"
So every station must be named the same!
EMPYRION is like a mix of no mans sky for the survival and star citizen and elite dangerous for the ships, you can make crazy ships with a lot of complex features like x4,but is old asf and feels lonely and death,but it still interesting to add
If you like to play with whales play Star Citizen, in X4 i can save and exit any time i want to, no forced online play.
The ships & combat category contains too much information in one category in my opinion. It could easily be 5 categories: Ship combat, Ground combat, Ship Variety, Flight Physics, and Flight controls.
I feel SC’s flight physics and flight combat is not as fleshed out as Elite’s. As a pilot, ED’s are the best I’ve ever experienced. That goes for ship combat too. If you’re wearing a VR Headset or head tracking, looking in various directions will open certain menus and options. You can truly seamlessly operate an ED ship like no other title on this list with the proper peripherals. Unfortunately, everything else in ED is just shallow.
In regards to the feature rich SC, I played about 20 hours and experienced hundreds of bugs. You can walk around your ship? I guess, but I got spaced almost every time I tried to do so while in flight. In fact, almost every feature is bugged.
TBF, I only tested X4: Foundations because I want VR. However, the title seems to offer so much, it’s worthwhile. Even so, I hear there’s a good VR mod for it.
Thanks for the insight and perspective into X4. This is turning into a “must buy” for me. My plan was to wait until Starfield released to play a space game but X4 looks like it could very easily become my main.
RE: X4. I played it a lot. At the beginning you will focus on the ship piloting aspect (not as good as ED but serviceable). By the end game you will have your own stations, fleets, and sectors - where you can manage from a map, or watch from the bridge or take personal control - at any point ion the game. It has various story based beginnings that funnel into the main universal story of your getting your own base and other story based missions etc. Not sure about VR but if you an get that to work IMO this is the unique 1st person space game has elements of an RPG 4x - from zero to 'space emperor' etc. Very worthwhile to check out. While Starfield is Skyrim/Fallout in space - not really a "space game" imo.
@@TESI303 100% agreed regarding Starfield. It’s a good enough game, but I have to be really picky in how I spend my time gaming. I stopped playing. The characters did nothing for me. I played the ship combat. My expectations were so low that I didn’t mind it. However, it is nothing close to ED.
At some point I will buy X4. It just looks so phenomenal. I will have to play it in the summer when I have more time.
No chance, SC fighting is amazing and unlike anything, especially against other players. Changing power levels, balancing shields, firing missiles all while your crew is in turrets firing at fighters. Lasers, guns, missiles, explosions and wreckage all over the place SC fights get intense!
@@rixxy9204 that’s your opinion. My opinion is that ED is a puddle deep and an ocean wide but one thing it is superior to every other space sim at, or open world arcade like SC, is flight physics and combat. We’re entitled to our opinion. I’ve tried both. Edit: You literally change power levels and shields in ED with the hat switch. Also, its optimization for head tracking and VR are unparalleled. In fact, SC supports neither.
No man's sky: Spore in space
Elite: Microsoft flight simulator in space
X4: Railroad tycoon in space
Star citizen: Wing commander with too much money. Also in space.
Stupid jokes aside, I'm happy that first-person-flight-space games (wow, is that even a word?) are back. Not so long ago it seemed they would never return.
Elite Dangerous has no features?
In Odyssey there is surface missions to deliver items, download and steal data, assassinat people, assassinate entire settlements, sabotage production at settlements, power up settlements, power up settlements that were captured by thargoids while avoiding alien probes called Revenants, protect cargo missions, salvage missions, and even covert heist missions.
There is also ground conflict zones, Exobiology, thin planetary atmospheres on planets you can land on that are very beautiful (I did not see any of these in your video so I'm guessing you may not have played Odyssey).
There are 38 different ships and 6 different ship launched fighters that bigger ships can launch from a fighter hanger.
There are multiple manufactures of ships that look and fly different from each other.
You can purchase a fleet carrier if you have the wealth to do so, then you have your very own mobile space station that you can transport 40 of your ships with.
The scorpion SRV has 2 seats and can be shared by 2 commanders (one driver and 1 gunner).
Most of the ships can have multiple commanders fly along in person or via telepresence and operate turreted weapons or even use ship launched fighter to help fight in space battles.
Elite also has a war with an alien race with AX combat to fight off the alien invasion. There are huge Thargoid mother ships called Titians that preside surrounded by huge corrosive clouds, just getting to the center is an ordeal in itself, and this is where millions of captured humans are being held.
There are also player made factions that can expand from their home system to take control of nearby systems.
Im not sure what game or maybe when you played, but something seems off with your conclusions.

ED actually HAS features and WORKING features, while SC has only "shop" feature and nothing else :D It's hilarious to watch people not only including it in some "tops", but even spending money there :D
I loved Elite for some time, especially sound, UI and space sim aspect, but lack of the story, serious grind (yes, I have top ranks for biggest ships) and lack of real support from devs killed it for me.
Man im having a hell of a time deciding which Space game to get. I want to play something in VR for that WOW factor. I am thinking No mans sky at this point because Elite seems to complicated. any thoughts?@@LandsOfDespair
The FPS aspect is pretty bad tho, it feels very tacked on and not fleshed out at all. I just started a game, and it feels like there is literally no reason to do ground missions because they are not fun, they pay virtually nothing compared to some of the easy cargo or megaship scanning missions, and they are borderline impossible without very expensive gear I haven't even seen a shop selling yet.
@@jamesclark7380 I like the FPS, its not perfect by any means, but there is couple ways to make decent creds, in the ground High Conflict Zones I get about 10-12 million in 10-15 minutes, but I am engineered. If you do the legal settlement massacre missions take an SRV and thin them out from a distance, then you can finish the rest off up close.
Spire sites you should check out, especially with other commanders, you can do on-foot. AX restore power missions are pretty fun also, and you get combat rank from killing the Revenants.
This game can be super tough, I see what you are saying, but many times its tougher because the best way to complete missions or do certain things isnt known by the commander, I have over 11k hours and learn new stuff all the time lol
o7
@@jamesclark7380 Went with NMS in VR and am literally experiencing something amazing. unreal how good this is.
So much to do and see.
Elite dangerous And x4 are the best. Star citizen has great graphics but that's it.
You forgot better flight mechanics, fun on planet gameplay, and the best ship interiors.
I feel like no man's sky has so many things and less survival.. it is an exploring type game it has so much content.
There are two main paths you can choose
Artemis and atlas
Different categories of Star ship
1.Normal ships [fighter, haular, explorere and shuttle ]
2. Exotic ships [looks cool]
3.Solar ship
4. Sentinel ships
5. Living ships
Two types of freighter
Dreadnoughts and capital ships
Four types of space stations
Normal
Outlaw/pirates
Anomaly
Atlas
3 types of currency
Units
Nanites
Quick silver
There are two main ways to take missions
Nexus missions and outlaw missions additionally you can by map from cartographer and the map trigger a mission.
You can trigger missions by doing certain actions.
I love this type of video, great!
nice talk) thank you for explain
Hey bro, i liked your review, can you do a review of Star atlas, i know its still in development but id like to know your opinion.
Hmm might want to note X4 may soon have multiplayer ( with a disclaimer )
Early Game No Man's Sky is more about survival. Once you get late game, you focus on other things. Base Building is one of them but, there's piracy, bounty hunting, trading, long voyages across the galaxy (Its really fun,) ship hunting, ship scrapping, space battles, learning languages, smuggling, pets, derelict freighters, crashed freighters, freighter customization, fleet building, fleet expeditions, cooking, ship upgrades, vehicle upgrades. Currently, I'm on a voyage to a planet that I've found which has the deepest ocean. Its been 2 real life days since I've started, and I've upgraded my exocrafts, upgraded my storage, improved weapons on my ship, sent fleets out on expeditions and I've made units and nanites. No Man's Sky is practically limitless, I would recommend anyone to pick it up. Especially now as there's a new update coming in maybe a month (Date not revealed) and it will go on sale.
What are the odds that, despite having more money than any other video game in history, Star Citizen will go bust prior to development being completed (whether or not it's released)?
They used to make 25-35 million from the start- right up until 2020 when they broke 50 million in 1 year for the 1st time - last year they set a new record with 113 million / las month they earned more than any month in their entire history - meaning 2023 will push them to a new record. At some point Squadron 42 is going to be buyable again and id imagine thats going to add a bit to their yearly income.. so they may go bust - but your going to have to wait for a while
More money than any game in history? CIG has raised 650 million so far - there are games that have raised billions. CIG will probably earn 120 million of the 20+ billion the gaming industry will earn in 2023.
Gta6 cost 2 billions to make, and it has nowhere near the size and scope of SC.
Is Elite Dangerous still good on XBox? I heard that they abandoned the support. But do people still play it and is it playable on XSX?
You forgot about a major influence on the Genre that is still popular and seeing a resurgence with it coming to Xbox Live recently. Space Engineers.
Well compared. Would you ever do a similar comparison between classic space games like Freespace/Starlancer/Tachyon/Independence War and the like?
I would... but I haven't really played them... well I have played some but it was such a long time ago that it does not even count...
Playing Tachyon right now. Great game but has aged really badly. Works on modern systems at least.
Since you asked for game suggestions on the genre, how about THE space MMO? EVE of course!
Because EVE would humiliate all the other games so hard the multiplayer category it would make the category pointless, and EVE would be bashed hard in most other categories.
@@Car_Mopay for game, pay monthly to play.
Great overview. I prefer X4 for the features. I like how you can just play it as a guy with one ship doing quests and trading, or you can build space stations and a huge fleet. My favorite thing is landing my fighter on a cruiser and then landing the cruiser on a carrier - the immersion of being able to fly between and land on multiple ships that you own is great. Star Citizen sounds good but I can’t afford to play it - I hate games with micro transactions (and they’re not very micro, often being 100s of $$. ). You sold me on Everspace 2 though: that sounds like a game I would like. I mostly like ship combat, so something more casual than X4 would be good.
"Star Citizen sounds good but I can’t afford to play it - I hate games with micro transactions (and they’re not very micro, often being 100s of $$.)"
You only need to buy a base game package - $45 (often discounted to $40), they also have promotions where you get free ships / vehicles when you buy a base game package, everything else you can obtain by playing the game. 4 times a year they have a week long 'Freefly' event where you can play the game for free. You can rent all the flyable ships in the game for 1 day, 3 days, 7 days or 30 days as well as buy them for game credits in the game. All updates are free and a base game package comes with lifetime access - there are no season passes or pay to play subscription. People only pay more for items to support the project - it is their choice to do so, you gain no advantage over other players by buying more ships or game items with real money.
Fair comparison
One thing I dislike about *_ALL_* these games is that the stars are all connected in a maze of "wormholes."
I want to be like in Star Trek where I can point my ship at any star in any direction and fly there!
It's actually rare to have physical space in games like that between the stars. Only good example for it for me is Dyson Sphere Program (not space sim though). There ships physically accelerate between star systems and can be stranded without fuel
@@Nyxson Fair enough, but you don't need "space" between the stars to do this any more than you need "space" to follow a wormhole. Whether you enter a "wormhole" or you start your "warp drive," you're on a rail until you get to your destination.
I mean you can wrap to multiple different *Galaxies* in NMS so... ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ Plus, there's an Origins (unsure about the updates name) update coming soon that everyone is expecting to be huge.
I’m very curious about Stellaris, but I was never a grand strategy type of player. I feel overwhelmed just thinking about playing the game, even though part of me wants to do it. I also need to come back to No Man’s Sky, I need to start a new character and just either have a guide to just follow the story and/or do the expeditions.
Stellaris is actually the simplest of all Paradox grand strategies. It is by no means easy but on easier difficulties quite fun, of course if you are scifi fan
@@Nyxson I am a sci-fan. Might give it a try. Would you recommend any of the DLC’s for a complete noob to the game/4X games? Or just base game? Or would you even recommend a different one?
Looking forward to future videos.
Get base game first and then think after that. Watch my Stellaris videos for more info if you want
@@pedroneves1057some of the DLCs are 100% worth getting and add so much more depth and variety to the base game. However I'd first make sure you like the base game.
And Stellaris really isn't hard once you get into it. But you need to take some hours to just play around with it. After a while it all becomes self explanatory and second nature.
I never watched any tutorials, you can pretty much just learn by doing, at least if you put in the time to play around with it. Have fun.
@@NyxsonI own most of them and I personally think Stellaris is the hardest/most confusing
X4 has multi-player or is beginning to have multi-player. Also X4 has the ability to build space stations with the ability to manufacture resources and even ships. Which I feel like was never mentioned in the features.
what you mean by is beginning to have multi-player?
It doesn't have multiplayer
I'd be interested to see what you think of Spaceborne 2
There you go. Game got updated after that but main points remain
Spacebourne 2 Review // Is It Worth It?!
ruclips.net/video/H4RQd-ZRQl0/видео.html
@@NyxsonOhhh thank you! :)
Thanks for making this. I'm interested in all of these games.
Is SC actually out yet? If not, I personally remove it from the list. I am not getting bogged down in semantics but its not out. Literally all of these other games came out YEARS after the SC KS with ED being the closest to the KS launch.
Looking forward to seeing how Starfield shakes things up.
Yeah, SC in it's current form is just a scam and this story goes for years already. There is no any point of comparing it to anything, because it is not even in Early Access stage. Even "alpha" is a bit unrealistic for their "progress". And - yes, I have played (tested?) SC for some time. Constant crashes or server errors, bugs are all over the place, there is no any single feature being really playable, except buying ships from their "store" with real money :D
How'd that StarField shake up work out?
Elite dangerous was just wrong for multiply you can literaly have multi crew ships
I left Elite for X4. Elite just got so repetitive after 5000 hours. I know they are updating but I won't be going back
sc ship feel like boat. combat ship physic in ed is the best, you acrobatic on some ship, with fa off.
I agree with your list, rankings, and evaluations. My only complaint is that bit near the begging where the PC Gamer review claims that Everspace 2 is somehow "better" than Freelancer. Having played both, that review is completely wrong.
They can claim whatever they want, doesn't make it true
Game journos haven't been right for a long time. Post GamerGate they've only become 1000% worse.
Agreed. Everspace 2 is much more repetitive. Still a good game.
love no mans sky the rest are great to but no mans sky man just has alittle of everything to do
Nyxson will you be playing starfield?
Yes
As a *Star Citizen* player I have to disagree on a few things:
- Ships and Combat should get separate ratings, because combat can be done not just with ships, and ships can be used for other things, which I personally find extremely important for depth and variety. For example I spend most of my time in SC playing personal transport and medical rescue.
- Visuals are too subjective to rank IMO. Some prefer the more realistic look of SC, others the more colorful look of NMS for example. I personally like the X4 visuals the most.
- There should be an extra section for "experience" as in how nice and smooth the gameplay experience is, with obviously SC still being in development making the last place with all the bugs and server crashes.
Elite is better
@13:04 - Each game is the best at something...yet ED isn't mentioned what it's the best at ;).
VR
because it's not best at something... it's best in everything.
No Man's Sky was the biggest game release flop in video game history.
But honestly, the devs recovered from it extremely well. It's actually a really good game to play. Nothing says I have a big space weiner and love swinging it around that getting a massive freightor with a massive fleet with home-created space stations connected via teleportation all throughout the universe.
If you're looking for nothing in particular - Elite Dangerous is it.
I can't disagree with your rankings, but can we talk about the 30ks in Star Citizen...only reason I stopped playing was because of constant DCs but past that great game!!
The flight model/physics in ED feels A LOT better in than X4 or NMS.
It's also not true what you said about ED's ships. They feel extremely different from one another in terms of how they handle and what they can do. However what I dislike in ED is that every ship uses the same HUD, that's really the largest downside for me (though the physical layout and feel is still very different and unique from ship to ship).
That's the main reason I never really got into X4 even though I really want to like it, it doesn't have enough plasticity somehow to me. Maybe one day I'll get into X4 - or SC if it matures a but more.
X4's default flight settings are for beginners.
You can:
- Turn off auto roll.
- Disable the flight computer so you use newtonian physics.
- Use the VRO mod to get realistic ship combat and movement.
- Rebind keys to more convenient locations. I recommend rebinding every key you want to use frequently. The default controls are clunky. I rebound things like stopping engines, targeting, opening player menu, etc.
After that is taken care of, it feels very good to fly in X4.
What's your take on Eve Online?
Not for the most in this day and age, too outdated. But it's a real example of how games can be ruled by the players.
Closest more modern game to it for me is X4, but it's single player
@@Nyxson EVE Online is one of the most carefully maintained and evolved games and intellectual properties in the gaming industry. Honestly, claiming it's "outdated" is just lazy and reveals a painful lack of knowledge of the current state of the game. It's like saying the Corvette is outdated because it was launched in the 50's.
The reason it [EVE] doesn't belong in this list is because that after 20 years it has evolved into and formed a genre of it's own, one that no modern game developer would be stupid enough to try and compete in.
I get that you love EVE and I am sure it deserves your love, but calling my remark "Lazy" is impolite at best.
EVE is product of it's time and is as classic example of MMO as it can get. It's no sim and doesn't have the controls and action of any game in this list. And I think you also misunderstand the meaning of the word "outdated".
Outdated does not mean bad, it means that it's mechanics is not on par with modern standards of gaming and gamers. And most modern games simply doesn't require the amount of commitment EVE requires and is far more action packed compared to point and click nature of EVE.
Again, Outdated, not bad
@@Car_MoThe Corvette IS outdated, but many people still love it. I don't see a conflict here.
One Space game i always seem to go back to is EVE Online. Its like X4 but you are the commander of ships rather than ever truly controlling them. I have using my rather powerful PC and 2 screens to play eve online on one screen and X4 on the other. LOL
Might have to add Space Engineers. As a crafting and building sandbox. Quite fun. Basically minecraft in space. 🤣
I like that you mention all those games above! another two I hear that are good is eve online and stellaris
Those are completely different and not really comparable. One is MMO, with no sim ship control (it's point and click) and another is 4x strategy.
Don't play Eve. Unless you're a hard-core pvp player who can dish out millions of in-game currency, you're seen as cattle. You have the play the whole game sneaking around every system as to not get blown up by pvpers (and yes, being pvp in the game costs real money).
Kinda feels weird that you weren't including EVE Online.
But Freelancer is in more FUN category!
What about Spacebourne 2? Story :yes Sim: yes, Land on planets:Yes, Beautiful graphics: Yes, Constant updates: Yes, Ground combat and boarding: yes. Different ships: yes, Multi player: not yet, Reviews: Overwhelmingly Positive: One person developer! Yes Price!: £16 Beat that!
Fact check your reviews. Also, Spaceborne 2 is an arcade game with terrible gameplay.
In summary: a unicorn is superior to a horse, a zebra, or a donkey.
Except Unicorn doesn't exist
Star citizen is not a game yet
Pretty much yeah
Sorry but Star Citizen beats them all. Arriving in a cloud city is truly awe-inspiring and unforgettable... no other game has given me that kind of jaw drop in years.
X4 lets you have fleet battles with a hundred ships on each side
Nice video. Thank you. I appreciate your conclusion and how you highlight the pros of all titles (except Elite Dangerous - there are no pros... Ha!).
Aside: The majority of "multiplayer" games come with a price - Gameplay and experience. This applies to almost all (if not all) games with the word "massively" in it's description. Multiplayer components often dilute the experience. We haven't even addressed the monetization aspect of many multiplayer titles. The only games in which the multiplayer component enhances the experience are those like WatchDogs 2.
Well I'm bout to go play NMS 🎮
Before Everspace 2 came out I discovered and really got into Avorion.ES2 is satisfactory but there’s nothing much in the endgame in terms of variety.
I tried getting into X4 but looks jank but in a very weird way, also it’s controls is objectively one of the worst I’ve ever played in a video game, let alone a space game.
I’ve got back into Avorion with a bit more patience and I’m really enjoying it, my much preferred space game. Still does need some bugs ironed out and it’s my #1 fav space game.
Agreed there is just something about Avorion. I always come back to it.
No Spacebourne 2? That game deserves some attention.
That game is getting more than fair attention from me (and will get more).
And this video is NOT about that game
@@Nyxson My bad, this is the first video I've watched from your channel. I just searched for it and found the video of you talking about it.
@doombloomers9609 no worries ❤️
what about EVE :D
Star Citizen has never been published.. why it is on this list?
It's not a list. And it's here because people are interested in that
@@Nyxson We don't need to call this movie a list. However, it is worth noting that the SC is not a finished product, not even in the testing phase. It consumes an abstract amount of money. Despite the budget and time, the creators can't finish it. Maybe they don't have such intentions, or maybe they also lack the skills. The way this game is financed and developed, probably forever unfinished, makes it simply not fair to include it on this list.
@imgroot7035 I am well aware of that my friend. I have backed that game almost 10 years ago now.
Plus I have more than a few videos talking about that
You dont want SC on the list because nothing else on that list can hold a candle to it.@@imgroot7035
Multiplayer is a bug, not a feature.
Star Citizen? That scam game postponed since 2014? Lol 😂
What about Chorus? Is it even comparable to these 4? I really want to know your opinion
because it's on 70% sale right now!
and yes, I watched your video about it, and also finished its demo, it was really fun and I'm about to buy it...
also thank you very much for this video, soon Starfield will join this group as well, and hope it will be a really good one, not just hype
Did you end up enjoying it?
I played Chorus. It's quite close to Everspace 2, with a bit of magic-like powers, where you can literally warp your ship behind enemies. However, the huge problem I have with this game, that pisses me off a lot, is the constant "whispering woman" ASMR we hear during almost the whole game.
That would be like comparing Call of duty to Fallout. Chorus does not give players much freedom, and feels very arcade-like at times.
No mention of VR :(
I’ll be honest No Man’s Sky has pissed all over the competition it’s never stopped evolving and improving rapidly it’s just put all the competition to shame really. Elite has been my most played but I’m honest enough to admit that about NMS.
"Last [and actually] least."
I'm so glad Star Citizen is my introduction to starships and sci-fi stuff
I played elite:dangerous before and got a viper, but man, my mercury star runner is so much satisfying to fly around and it looks so much better
I looooove the Mercury Star Runner so much. I upgraded to it from the Aegis Avenger, which was an upgrade form the 100i. But I need to get the 100i back for sure.
While the MSR is a nice looking ship, (I've got one in SC) there's not really that much you can do with it in the game. It's pretty weak in solo combat, you can do trading, but it's much less profitable than in Elite and you risk a 30k wiping out your investment. You can haul vehicles, but the only ones that make you money is a ROC and I find the Nomad more practical for that unless I'm hauling 2 or 3 for group mining.
Also, if you only got as far as a Viper in Elite, you probably didn't try multicrew. (unless you've also tried an Adder or Cobra) Elite actually has a much lower bar for multicrew since even a lot of small ships have multicrew seats while the cheapest in SC is probably the Reliant. You can also do Ship Launched Fighters in Elite in fairly cheap ships like the Keelback while SC is much more limited in what can carry a Snub fighter. And of course ANY ship can carry an SRV ground vehicle.
Star Citizen is a very pretty game with the potential to one day be a cool game, but it's very lacking in gameplay today while Elite is an actual game that's been mostly ignored by Frontier since release. (it's not as pretty, but has more to do)
In general, do the ships in Star Citizen feel better to fly than in Elite Dangerous?
@@xeroeddie yeah
But recent news says they're gonna rework the flight model to have two modes which is navigation mode and combat mode
But in general, the ships in star citizen feels more weighty, even you can feel the aerodynamic flaws on such asymmetrical wing designs like the drake corsair on atmospheric flight
You could also turn off the same feature in E:D called flight assist, which just makes your ship move without using lateral thrusters or countering your movement
Visually, seeing the thrusters work so hard in third person while flying is so satisfying, especially on the hornet series and the constellation series, like they constantly rotate all the time to do maneuvers
Sounds still needs more work tho lol
E:D sound engineers are insane
@@HarunaKaiNi Interesting. So is the idea that you switch between the modes, or how does it change the current physics?
Putting ships & combat together was a stupid move. ED has MUCH better combat than X4...
No mans sky is just space without the survival and the game. 🤣
Why does it feel like no man's sky was treated unfairly in this comparison?
Because it was. No Man’s Sky should not really be compared to those games because it is more of a survival and building game than a classic space sim or space RPG. So comparing it in categories that are important for space games, puts it behind.
However, since (for some reason) people ARE comparing these games with NMS, I decided to put it in this comparison
Why do you praise a game that’s taken in more money than almost every AAA game ever made & simply doesn’t bother to optimize it? Alpha or not, it’s been in development for 10+ YEARS!
Then turns around & charges people $100’s of dollars in optional micro transactions? .. That’s worse than most hated AAA publishers.
I mean the game looks great, fair enough.. but, there isn’t any excuse for performance.
They forget here that this game is still being worked on to become a perfect space MMO.
Graphics have been improved 2-3 times, which was even noticeable.
I know, I've been here for a long, long time and I check it out often.
Only that with every update, new bugs arise very annoying.
but hey everyone decide for themselves if they pay for the game or not and if someone supports the game.
It's a shame that there's still not a "space game" that does it all.
Because it's far better for games to focus on what they're good at than try to be all things to all people.
Imho Elite ship combat is by far superior to SC. The depth, physic and immersion. SC have cool multicrew mechanics but shield system, heat and stealth gameplay sucks. Whats worst in sc u can barely see enemy ship from 1km, in ed from 1km u can aim in enemy pilot eye.
everyone is entitle to there opinion even if there wrong.
Star citizen will release by the time nintendo releases a console powerful enough to run it 💀
If Star Citizen is involved, its the best. Period.
MAYBE 5-15yrs down the line Frontier pulls off a miracle and turns ED into that but on a galactic scale or maybe even ED 2, but that is a very very humongously sized maybe.
I doubt anyone else will ever come close to what CIG has and will achieve. Other than Frontier themselves.
Btw, NMS is barely the size of a system in ED. It pales in comparison lol
Love those blind SC praise...
@@Nyxson I praised Elite when it was right to do so also NMS, no one is coming close to making a game such as SC. I have all the games you mentioned here and many more down to Empyrion, Ixion and Rodina. I have played space games almost exclusively for more than 20 years and I view SC as a culmination of it all into one humongous title.
Please, if I'm wrong, show me where? KSP 1/2? nope, already got thousands of hours into 1 and nearly 400 in 2. Flight of Nova? nope, owned it since Day 1. What game am I missing? and how does it stack up to Star Citizen? or is this just blind praise?.........
@@Nyxson And you got the universe sizes wrong, ED is vastly bigger than them all combined lol. It isnt even remotely close. The distance between planets in NMS is barely 4000km, most landables radius in ED......
@@Nyxson "blind SC praise..."
Actually thats based on two decades of disappointment pal. All the games I mentioned was to itch a very specific thing I wanted in a space game, THE perfect space game for a long while it was ED but they seriously under performed with Odyssey, which I thought would knock CIG down a level or two honestly, they didn't even touch them lol.
No Man's Sky came VERY close, but it just isn't realistic, which is not a bad thing whatsoever. But I wanted realistic space. For a while it was X4 Foundations, I still play and love that game.
Last year I FINALLY bought SC because I upgraded to a 8c 16t CPU which was the only thing holding me back from playing it smoothly and my goodness, it blows me away every single time without fail and there is nothing but signs of ultra expansion in the future.
But I'm sick of the competition. Devs such as Frontier and CIG should collaborate not compete.
I base it off the incredibly high fidelity and large scale landings of atmospheric worlds, the simulation of a whole space civilisation to tiny details. The exquisite, unrivalled ships as you said yourself and the combat. Is that "blind praise"...
@empyrean-jamelgreaves8034 all I see now is "SC good, rest bad" (kudos to you for loving X4, it's quite rare for SC fanboys... which let's assume you are not).
I don't mind you loving it, don't get it wrong, but you don't seem to say why it is superior NOW
I feel you either just played star citizen and read some random stuff online or you are just super biased! ED and many other titles have better features than SC as well as other characteristics that you forgot to mention! ED, for example, is by far the best game for space combat and exploration with Exobiology, space phenomena like black holes and Neutron Stars and a hole milky way galaxy with plenty to see like Sagitarius A. Also ED offers plenty of features like the political side of the game with all the factions inside the bubble and engineers, the ruins, guardians and thargoids and how it all influences the galaxy. Also NMS is one of the strongest tittles for space survavilism with plenty to see and explore too. I see you have plenty of good points but you should try all these games out extensively to give us a better opinion on many points that are missing out
Games that require you to use real money to buy ships should be excluded from this list
Which games are those? I play SC and i was only required to buy a $45 dollar starter pack.. my hangar full of ships was bought with in game currency. I paid about that much per Month with EvE and my 2 omega accounts.
I hope starfield delivers. Been waiting for years
Starfield will nor be comparable to these games... It will be more like Fallout in space than any of these
@@Nyxsonchefs kiss. On the money
Should you have waited to do this video after Starfield came out?
And what stops me from making it again but with Starfield?
No man sky 💯
Where Spaceborne 2
On Steam... in Early Access... In our hearts... what's your question exactly?
Spending hundreds of dollars and coping for SC does not a good game make
everything is better than Star Citizen, unless you hate your bank account. 100% pay 2 win game. hope you are rich before attempting to play that joke of a game.
It's only $45 and you can access everything. You basically prove you don't know anything about the game.
Let's be honest, it's not even a game really, just a scam :)
@@LandsOfDespairnah you are mis informed brainwashed or something
@@LandsOfDespair🤡
@@Celestial_Monkeystar citizen hasn't released. Until then it's just shovelware at best.
Best to worst: Elite Dangerous > Star Citizen > NMS
NMS was absolute dog water.
elite dangerous and an excellent simulation game with varying missions, combat against pirate or alien, trade, exploration.
with the release of the odyssey dlc a little missed we can now leave the srv combaty on foot or against alien this prolongs the game
a little but it really lacks a little content
X4 foundation beautiful graphics a variety of impressive ships possibility of creating your base to attack enemies to direct the
png games at the top, just a shame missing the ground bases and combat on foot and mission on foot if he adds this it will be the n° 1
Star Citizen is really horribly poorly optimized it's still in beta too many bugs the game and very magnificent but sorely lacking
in content the multiplayer and
not bad but then the piloting of the ships and horrible to see in 2034 if it comes out
No Man's Sky too arcade but cross platform huge content and free multi very average graphics too cartoon
Everspace 2 how to say I challenged I played 2 hours I uninstalled this game completely and horribly lousy compared to the other
Gonna drop a dislike due to bad information.
I understand that most of the topics discussed is largely opinion based, but claiming Elite Dangerous doesnt have multicrew is just straight misinformation my dude.
No Man's Sky is my jam.
Always will be.
Not against the other titles, I just know me.
EDIT: LOVE the Stellaris music in the background BTW 🤔👍
Ah, the man of culture I see ❤️❤️❤️
For me, No Man's Sky is in a class of its own. It is the only game of its kind that doesn't try to look "real" yet has thousands of adults enjoying the gameplay with so many different ways it can be played, so many different things to do. I like creating my own personal RP challenges in it and have over 1800 hours in the game over several saves. I can's say that about any other game I've ever played.
This is a Star Citizen FanBoy video. Star Citizen promises a lot of features, but the reality is they are not there or they are badly implemented. Game runs badly, it looks nice but only if you want to take pictures, as far as combat goes ship combat is a jousting match cause not much else happens there, on foot combat is retarded to say the least, barely functional, ships look nice and all, but after an hour or so it gets quite annoying to run around the station to go talk to an npc and back again, open and close doors and carry boxes around. List can go on but i would much rather play Elite or X4 than the other titles. With the exception of Everspace 2, I own and played all of these titles, and these two have the most content, most actual to do things in the game. X4 has no multiplayer or that would be the definitive go to space game in my opinion.
I love how oblivious you are and made absolutely wrong assumption with no substance. I literally have videos about every game in the list, watch them and then we'll see if you'll dare to call me Star Citizen FanBoy 😂😂😂
to compare a scam game with real games
men how deep are you in Robert!
Really great video. Love the breakdown.
Also, can you please dress as Vladimir Zelenskyy? Your the spitting imagine of him!!
Star Citizen is barely a game.
Kinda stupid way to compare games. It is as helpful as comparing top end cameras based on megapixels
I think No Man’s Sky is actually the smallest game on this list. It’s so shallow, with little variety. The billions of planets or whatever really come down to a distinction without a difference.
Not true. I've got 90 hours and still discovering new and interesting planets
This WAS the case when the game was first released.
It's not the case 10 years later
Here is the games in a nutshell:
1. Everspace 2: Im a nice little space arcade everyone likes.
2. Elite Dangerous: Im massive, but mostly empty, Im stunning, Im tough, but rewarding, Im a love child of war thunder, everspace and eve online.
3. No Man's Sky: Im Elite Dangerous without crackhead piloting shenanigans, but with some Fallout 4 stuff and less demanding graphics.
4. Star Citizen: Im massive, but mostly dead, Im expensive, I look awesome, but not mind-blowing, though I creep your computer like a bitch anyway, everything you see is accessible, I've got piloting, I've got uhhmmm things...have I told you I'm expensive?
5. X4 Foundations: I am pretty much everything above. I am like a first person experience of Elite Dangerous and living world of Eve Online...but offline. Everything you see around you is actually precisely and truly simulated...and your CPU is not gonna like it.
You should have put SC last ...theres other games - and then there SC ..its in its own league and category .. those other games are cool too, though.
@@lights4bre890 the only things i should is to breath, drink and eat. everything else is optional. especially jerking with some fanboys ego.
I will be playing Star Citizen for many years but I will play Star Field completly many times and come back to it depending on Mods. The two games are hard to compare as one is single player and the other in MMO.
U literally said this on other RUclips videos 💀💀
Empyrion? Space Engineers? Skip Starfield. It's trash.
Why make a video of games you know very little about?
Except... I do know a lot about
He did a pretty good job summarising the games. I think the only thing that some people take issue with is Elite Dangerous' multi-crew aspects.
