[@prooz1364]

Wow you so funny, nobody make this joke already, you so unique my man !

[@DroidRagePsycho]

As someone that backed it Star Citizen over 12 years ago... Star Citiizen is a playable collection of tech demos stitched together with experimental tech. It manages to miss every single deadline by a mile and may never get a full release. Basic features revolving around spawning, getting your gear and ship back after you die are not implemented well or at all. You can do contracts, but most have features that are bugged or broken, and there are not any complete gameplay loops. It's a check back every year or two title. Not somehting to spend money on until it gets something much much closer to a full release.

[@noxEmP]

I dunno man. Lately it's been genuinely extremely fun and more stable then ever with server meshing. It's been a literal 5x-10x improvement in server performance with 5x the players in 2 different systems

[@Cn147-gp5]

So it's a scam then! Just like I told my buddy 12 years ago when he paid a bunch of money for nothing 😂😂😂

[@MrZega000]

@Cn147-gp5 if you enjoy it and get something out of it then it's not a scam...by definition.

[@Kakeyoro]

​@noxEmPIt's the internet. You're not given a lot of thumbs ups until you hyperbolically criticize something or someone to oblivion. People thrive on negativity. It's far from perfect but what the OP said is not as accurate as he/she would want people to believe. I'm just glad that their opinions don't affect how much I'm able to (or not able to) genuinely enjoy something. Let the product speak for itself. Results may vary.

[@TabletopJunk]

Star Citizen is an over decade long scheme to develop a promised game as slowly as possible while soliciting millions of dollars in donations, and selling premium items for hundreds of dollars. Star Citizen as a business model does not benefit from ever finishing their game, and they know this. It is infinitely more profitable to continue to string the development along for as long as possible, because the additional revenue stream from donations is more than they could ever hope to achieve otherwise. The game will some day be finished, but when it is, it will be because the playerbase has gotten fed up and moved on, not because they've completed their grand design that took decades to build.

[@Sozehb-h3b]

They are pretty transparent. It's been server meshing and SQ42 that's held back SC development. Now that both are complete or almost complete they are really going to ramp up the updates and quality.

[@TabletopJunk]

@@Sozehb-h3b I'm sure THIS time they'll keep their word ;^)

[@TabletopJunk]

@@Sozehb-h3b Surely THIS time they'll keep their word, right?

[@Reoh0z]

There's a lot of games that continue to cash shop long after the game has launched. Never forget that WoW's Sparkle Pony was massively more profitable than the entirety of Starcraft II. If it ever launches, which has yet to be seen, Star Citizen would be no different.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

@@Reoh0z A lot of those games though either a) have full content at launch and then nickel and dime for MTX, or b) are Live Service games whose entire premise is built around said drip feed of content, but with a base gameplay loop already in place. Star Citizen is neither, it is a game that promised the skies, and asks far too much for it, with precious little to show relative to how much has been spent on it.

As someone who actively plays Star Citizen, I can honestly say that you can do all of this and it will look that nice IF you have the PC to run it and the servers don't glitch or crash.

[@ruok-l5t]

Or if you don't have friends to play with it's probably best not to bother. The first 5 hours you will be amazed by flying to space and landing on a planet, but after that you start to question wtf is even the point? This trailer is so action packed but in reality you barely get to even see it.

Star Citizen is simply put, an investor simulator where players give their money for spaceships to the investors of the devs and never see the end product for many roadmaps to come.

[@CHA1Nfps]

One of the most funded games ever that after years and years of "development" has almost nothing working as it should outside of the store and is basically a giant tech demo.

[@Sozehb-h3b]

Yeah that's why it's called an Alpha. Also what they have done has the potential to change the gaming industry. Server meshing opens so many new opportunities if it eventually gets implemented by other companies

[@CHA1Nfps]

@@Sozehb-h3b Dude they have been working on this for 12 years and have raised almost a billion dollars, they can keep calling it alpha, pre alpha, beta, omega, whatever they want and string us along until we all go senile and the game still won't be anything outside of a tech demo. You people supporting it are constantly saying how this game is going to change the gaming industry, sure i will believe it when i see it, but all we have seen for the last decade is an empty world with ships that you can fly in, crazy microtransactions and promises. Meanwhile those same industry changing developers can't even implement simple features into their game without breaking it and have missed every deadline they have given.

[@ese5102]

Huge portions of it are real, but a lot is blocked off AtM. The tech they're working on allows procedural generation of massive planets, as well as future base building. The tech is all there, but they're rolling it out slowly because it isn't close to done
