Each to their own. I've played both and I found elite to be very "space truck driver...ey". Personally, I want to spend my time exploring solar systems and not decelerating to space stations. NMS also has rich and meaningful planetary exploration and not a hollow imitation afterthought.
Due to the depth of NMS, I wouldn't even put them as comparable. One is an award winning best seller that's having yet another huge free update just to make the fans happy, the other is free on playstation plus because no one will buy it.
Yea that's kinda what I was getting at in my comments on here, maybe not necessarily this comment you replied to, but elite definitely had the ship aspect of the game down, it feels so good to fly around, bur you're totally right in how you called it a space trucking feel. That's where I get tired of it even if you can get out of your ship with the expansion now. With all of the comments here I think I'll wind up buying it here soon and giving it a whirl.
