I think both games look fantastic and similiar so i started a comparison thread for those who play them

Minimal UI, looks like made for consoles. Mixed reviews so far but nothing really bad standing out. Someone asking for more PvE servers. Will definitely try this.

Like I said a good thing, a good thing they had open beta first because this would have been bad launch. Hopefully they will have most problems fixed in four days when early access launches.
Now I'm getting a big red 'Server Not Responding' in the middle of the screen. Ahh, just got dropped from server.

I suffer motion sickness, so if they're first person only, then I won't be able to play either of them
Dark and Light to me is by far the superior game between to the two. Citadel is graphically impressive and runs smoother and much MUCH LESS BUGGIER than D & L. So how is D & L Superior you ask? Well its simply more fun to play, It feels much deeper and the world feels much more alive to me. The UI is fantastic and you just get , At least I do, a very dungeons and dragons type fantasy feel from D& L. Its hard to explain but i wasnt getting that from Citadel.
Citadel to me was simply boring, It feels constrictive too. I couldnt climb mountains , I was forced from the outset to be a magic user, the mobs feel all thrown together in the forest with no ryme or reason, The gathering was dull all the oppisite of D &L.
With all that said know what you getting into with D &L . On ultra setting at 2560 x1080 i get 15-32 fps . i HAVE A GTX 980TI and a 8350fx (I know its underpowered for the 980) but still performance is a issue for every one. D& L is also full of bugs and it often takes multiple attempts to log into the game ,the game can be really frustrating. But once you get into the game and start playing its a fun experience, Granted you like survival games but are sick of lazer dinosaurs,zombies or whatever else cliche survival game is out there.
Thats my take thus far, Iv put about 4 hours into Citadel and about 5 into D & L .

Citadel is also rapidly improving. I was quickly able to join a PvE server and played for about 3 or 4 hours. Still saw the internet hazard light flash in the corner of the screen but didn't get dropped and had fun exploring, crafting, and talking to others in chat. Didn't die but came really close a few times and started seeing housing popping up in Citadel. B&L seems to be improving also but more slowly, imo.
