Battlestar Galactica Online vs Star Citizen
Battlestar Galactica Online
Battlestar Galactica Online is a very well-developed and fun spaceship simulation game which allows you to play the role of a promising new recruit! Choose a faction to align yourself with, either the colonials (humans) or the Cylons, and help your faction take control of critical sectors and resources in the unexplored area that both factions are stranded in. Engage in combat with your fellow pilots to destroy enemy outposts and claim the sector for your faction. Collect resources to trade for ship upgrades or for cubits (in-game currency), which in turn will allow you to purchase new and more powerful ships.If you enjoy action-based space simulations or are a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica series, then Battlestar Galactica Online is definitely the game you need.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen is an incredibly ambitious and yet highly anticipated (and not to mention, hyped-up especially players who simply adore the genre) project to create the world's very first open world, sandbox game that's set not only in space but also on the many different planets and other locations that you happen to land on/dock to. The game will be pretty massive and it is developed on an as grand a scale as an indie company possibly can. The end product - the game's currently in early access - might end up looking like a Star Wars/Star Trek-like world that's equally in-depth and likely as diverse. Of course, the science-fiction/futuristic feel simply adds to the enormity of the game.However, being the type of game that even triple-A companies have never yet attempted before, the developers have drawn some flak in regard to the chances of actually finishing the game development process and giving their players - the people who had bought and funded the game - a complete game to play. Many critics think that these players will get burned in the end, but for someone who has grown up somewhat obsessed with almost every "space frontier"-type series ever made, I do hope that Star Citizen will be able to reach its true potential even if that means the downloads will take a painfully long time to complete.
