Fun vid Charlie. Just for reference, Charlie said a couple of times that this took, "A long time to make." He and I were on for three hours together last weekend just covering the Ita footage, and the bit of looniness of base jumping into Crusader's clouds (he didn't show it all to you... it's quite funny!) The travel times between the points in the Stanton solar system are pretty intense for a game. Or... sim. Or... well whatever we're calling Star Citizen these days. ;-)

[@samisuhonen9815]

The game right now is mindblowing. It is a truly impressive base, or part of the base needed for the end product. As someone who has like 500+ hours in the player test alpha in the last 12 months, I would say that the game is not yet in a "playable" state. Like it is definitely worth putting in hundreds of hours just exploring and being blown away by the planets, ships, scale, and detail of the game. But once you put in those few hundred hours, you have done everything there is to test. There are some gameplay loops in the game like mining, trading, fps combat, space combat, land vehicle combat, medical gameplay, looting, and exploration. But most of the gameplay systems are only in a state intended for testing the mechanics. They aren't really completed, or tied to fulfilling progression yet. They are fun to repeat just for being fun gameplay, for a few dozen hours, then they get repetitive as there isn't really much variety/content built in to spice things up. Then there is the technical instability. Often some patch fixes a lot of the performance and you get 70+ fps in space and steady 30-40 in the biggest cities. Then another patch introduces a new feature that just bricks performance. Sometimes it's fps drops, stutters, crashes, or desync with NPCs and players. Sometimes the new feature completely bricks the gameplay loop you liked. Don't get me wrong, it's still worth the 50€ pledge or even more if you have extra cash and want to support the project. The sheer amount of new stuff is insane, especially if you have high tolerance for bugs and "alpha stuff". Just don't expect it to be your new main game you can put in thousands of hours without getting bored and/or frustrated. It will be worth the pledge and your attention, if you just hop on the alpha to check the new builds every 3 months, and just keep up to date on the weekly youtube progress updates.

[@Jonathan-ih9sm]

A few hundred hours is a ton of time I’d call that playable. Will take most people weeks to finish

[@mwRafee]

As someone with thousands of hours in the verse i can see your point about not enough unique content. But the nature of the game makes it where no two experiences are completely similar because of some variations. But for me what keeps me coming back is the verse itself and the community surrounding it. Its feels like a real place and i get endless enjoyment out of meeting a random person in a lobby waiting for his ship, striking up a conversation and go on a couple of impromptu missions together. Or help someone that's stranded or incapacitated or just needs help. I cant wait for a time when the game by itself will be enough but for now there is a lot to experience

[@Wind_Lord]

Agree with this post to an extent. The content provided for you by the game is limited. But if you take a good fun crew asking for the ride then content is Amos endless and the sandbox nature of the game allows for a lot of creativity in what you might get up to.

People like to ask "Why isn't this game finished yet?". People also like to ask "Why isn't there more games with this kind of scale around?". These two questions aswer each other. There are no other games like Star Citizen because of how large and complex it is to develop, it's basically a simulator with RPG elements, FPS combat, flying, seamless landings... And the game isn't finished yet because of this, it's way too complex and advanced to be finished within a standard video game dev cycle. However, I fully understand and agree that RSI should be smoothing out and improving what's already there instead of adding more and more ships and items just to make money.

It's only the Alpha Test Solar System yet, their are over 100 systems planned once they perfect the back end tools, plus making a AAA Single Player game, "Squadron 42", at same time Server Meshing being the toughest part to do right, and never done, designed from scratch. basically as more players go to same place the servers mesh to keep all playing in game. The actual tech involved in going seamlessly from a small ship, to planets, to solar system, to 100+ Solar Systems, in unlimited numbers multiplayer is mind blowing, but hard to do. It's doing these extremely technical, and unprecedented tasks, that publishers won't fund, that keeps backer funding flowing, most backers know it's a "Until done right", long term project.

@@chobai9996 He said playable, not finished. Those are two very different things.

[@testales]

SC has the most beautiful ships with an accessible, actual interrior that have ever been created in a space game, no question. The procedual generator of the planets is impressive too. What is not impressive is the scale though. Autogenerated infinitiy doesn't count, no matter how good it may look. It's like in ED or No Man Sky. The actual handmade areas are quite limited, not super small but on average at best I'd say, far less than say GTA5 or even 4 for example, especially considering that there is rarely anything you can interact or do even useful stuff with.

[@Xero_Kaiser]

That's what gets me when people try to talk up SC's scale. In terms of handcrafted areas, you've got a couple of landing zones/space stations and a lot of copy+paste outposts and caves scattered around a whole lot of nothing. In terms of actual relevant play area, you're right. It's far less than something like GTA, TES or damn near any bog-standard MMO. This is only "the biggest game ever" if it's the only game open-world game someone's ever played. People have got to stop overselling what SC actually is. This is why so many people walk away from game thinking it's a scam...

[@michaelhenry3234]

@@Xero_Kaiser Scale hinges on systems not yet implemented. Such as base building, for instance. The game's content needs to be created by players if this will ever work, especially if they introduce dozens of star systems. In order to do this, they need to create systems, mechanics, and economies to enable and incentivize this "player created content." If hundreds of unique bases are created by players on a planet and you are encouraged to go to them for bounties/trading/services/races/whatever, the perceived scale of the planet will shoot up dramatically.

[@Bearical]

@@Xero_Kaiser It's the sense of scale that does it.

[@hansyolo9649]

One thing that always bothered me in games like Final Fantasy or WoW is that I had to assume that towns are supposed to represent city-states or nations in lore. This won't be the case in Star Citizen anymore.

They do in SC too

[@Xero_Kaiser]

? That's exactly the case in Star Citizen. You go to a "planet-sized city" and it's just a landing zone, a train and a handful of shops.

[@vorpalrobot]

@@Gallagher068 controversies aside, one of the bigger credits they tend to give CIG is that the devs actually seem to care about their work. Not that other devs don't, it's just not usually reflected in corporate boardroom decisions.

[@scubarubanzaii]

Another thing I like about CIG is that, after they’ve been questioned about the validity of their project, they actually delivered a game out. Unlike Earth2’s dev head who seems to be spewing a bunch of nothing and delivering visual tech demos.

[@davidhonnay1540]

@@scubarubanzaii This is because unlike Earth 2 Chris Roberts has a long succesfull gaming dev history already.

Tbh, when I first saw that first Destiny cinematic back in 2013/2014, this kind of flying into planets and exploring open areas was what I imagined.

Stanton is only 5 AU across, Pyro is 13, Sol will be 51, and the largest system coming that we know about so far is called Tamsa, that's 304 AU. However, Elite Dangerous has a 1:1 recreation of the Milky Way galaxy.. and then there's No Man's Sky with its 18 quintillion unique worlds. Star Citizen is my favorite space game, but it's a long way from being one of the biggest game worlds out there.

[@rotsen3123]

yes its true that no mans sky and elite dangerous holds the biggest and good for exploration. but we can't deny that quality still better than quantity. same here i love star citizen despite all of its criticism. i know the team behind it holds a gem of the gaming future which we all support it will benefit when it lauches.

[@ozzman_1064]

What a disingenuous argument. Your counting the other games time from conception, but, SC's from actual development. Your counting other games marketing budget as development $ spent, but all of SC's money (most) is straight up development costs. Actual development costs for RDR2 for example were around 250m, with marketing making up the other 200m. Actual development time (active development, not kicking around ideas) was 4 years. If you gotta lie on purpose to make SC sound good, your doing it wrong.

[@r.daneel.90]

Currently, you have some pew pew in bunkers,, looting, mining, trading and tourism. But somewhat spread out and basic. (except for mining). In the future, a lot more and dense content will be arriving.

[@chobai9996]

In the future there will be a ratio of 11 NPCs for every player, and they're trying to go for an entire world region to play on the same "instance", so....each star system will have several thousand players and many thousands of AI flying around and doing stuff. There will be many more settlements spread out, and AI will be performing various actions to physically represent the economy (the plan is to have no "behind the scenes" economy magic, if products are needed at a location, AI will actually mine for resources and haul resources to and from locations). So, just from that planets won't seem "empty", but the plan is to have tons more points of interest and other places to be, plus a lot of missions for any kind of playstyle. In addition there will be player bases where you can claim a certain amount of land outside of pre-established settled areas, so that will add a lot of mystery and coolness to explore things

[@uncannyvalley2350]

Arma 3? If you can't find things to do in a star system sized sandbox with 100 different ships and vehicles, there's something wrong with you. But there is a wide range of missions and gameplay options, mining, caving, bounty hunting, trade, refueling, piracy, and considering its 45 dollars for a lifetime subscription to the world's most advanced space sim isn't something you can find anywhere else, it's more than worth the cost of entry
