Immediate Distinctions Observing the scenery in Star Citizen
But at the end of the day, I think there is a clear winner. To train my skills for Star Atlas, I looked into grinding a few levels in either Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen.Īfter some research, I discovered I was looking at two sides of the same coin, as Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen are essentially the same game with different themes tackled through various viewpoints.īoth offer players a unique gameplay experience to a degree I mean, you are still in space, pretty much no matter what you do. While playing an utterly different starship action shooter called Star Atlas, I discovered both Elite Dangerous vs Star Citizen. Please allow an experienced space cowboy like myself to explain the difference between these two impressive sci-fi adventures. They both have MMO capabilities, came out roughly around the same time, and allow for deep player customization. And both also have a first-person shooter aspect that takes players out of the cockpit and engages them in close-quarters combat.īoth are highly artistic stylized sci-fi adventures with A-list voice actors and impressive mechanics.
Both games put players in the highly advanced cockpit of a deadly spaceship and pit them against invading or attacking enemies.īoth games have players undertake contracts that act as the main quest-giving feature. Star Citizen is Elite Dangerous, and Elite Dangerous is Star Citizen. In 2023 our current state of gaming has plenty of dualities for players to explore, but two massive sci-fi spaceship action shooters that share more than a passing similarity are the most prominent duality, at least to me. These dualities can be found in most forms of entertainment, including books, movies, and television shows. And look, I liked Medal of Honor more than Call of Duty, but the numbers clearly show which one survived the early 2000s. I don’t care how much you like Digimon and argue their latest movie makes them relevant, they’re a bug compared to Pokémon’s success. Some classic examples include Pokémon versus Digimon, Call of Duty versus Medal of Honor, Street Fighter versus Virtua Fighter, and Hollow Knight versus Shovel Knight.Įven if you have a preference for one of these dualities, the number of active gamers and units sold clearly shows which one won and which one lost. Inevitably one of the games outshines the other no matter how fierce the competition is, one eventually wins. A duality occurs when two strikingly similar games release simultaneously and compete with each other in more than one way. When you’ve been an avid gamer as long as I have, with a gaming history dating back to black and white Pokémon on the original Gameboy (yes, I am that old), you see a fair number of what I like to call dualities.
