NMS vs EDO

[m0rl0ck]

I bought NMS last night and played a few hours. NMS gets better with every update and EDO as an update to ED looks more like vandalism than an update.

Graphically, there is just no comparison NMS runs at 4k, 60 fps, great AA (dlss), a consistent artistic vision (rather than looking like different peices of it were designed by different bargain basement subcontractors) and is rock solid stable. ED otoh, has terrible to no real AA, drops to single digit framerates regularly and is plagued by connection errors and crashes.

Playing NMS was really refreshing, reminded me why i liked pc gaming, it was fun. EDO on the other hand is a mess. With every NMS update it gets better and better, with every ED update it seems to get farther away from its original vision and has more bugs and is less and less playable.

Im sad for what ED has become, but grateful that EDO was awful enough that it forced me to look farther afield and to try games that are not only technically better, but more fun.

So if you are disgusted as i am with FD and what they have done to ED, maybe broaden your horizons (no pun intended) and have a little fun

Just some thoughts and experiences i had playing NMS last night and comparing the two. There are other good space games with better graphics and fewer gotchas. I wont mention them because you can look them up on steam or epic or youtube.
Right now EDO cant even be trusted to complete a mission or save a players progress. If FD dont get on the horse real quick (and we all have experience how adaptable and responsive they are) ED is pretty much dead.

If NMS had Elite hard sci-fi aesthetics and 1:1 galaxy with real life distances and planetary tech producing more realistic landscapes instead of everything being exaggerated and fairy-tailish, I would drop Elite and play NMS instead.
Or, in other words, I would not mind if Elite borrowed some of NMS gameplay ideas (base building, survival) instead of going for quick FPS content to rival Fortnite.

NMS is may be your thing, and it s great, it s certainly a great and cool game for many players loving arcade and casual games style. It s not my type of game, 100h and i was bored, ED, 6k hours and i still have fun, ED is why i love PC gaming....

There is already threads discussing NMS. One of which the OP was the last person to post in, so please don't make duplicate threads
