That's cheap for a security door.

I tried playing it since there was free to play for a bit. The game literally performed worse than Quantum Break(the best looking game on PC). Can't let devs get away with shit optimization like that.

At least it's something

Where's the worm Sean? WHERE IS THE FUCKING WORM YOU LYING CUNT.

But it's not even remotely a security door. They sectioned off one part of a room just so Chris Roberts can feel like he is in the future.

You can describe what's been released of scam citizen as "at least it's something" too user, doesn't make it not shit.

Just out of curiosity how hard would it be to pirate this shit with all the thousands of dollars worth of unlocks? I didn't look to see if someone had but the fact you can download a brand new car worth of virtual shit is hilarious to me

But it is a security door. It requires card access to open.

My old apartment has that for a main door. That does not mean it's a security door and it did not cost $13k.

That's how I feel about crowd funding stuff in general. I've backed a lot of stuff and I kind of just set it and forget it. Eventually it all shows up eventually, with a few exceptions. I tried 3.5 and it looks promising, if they can make it faster and cut out the tedium between waking up in your apartment and actually launching your ship. It feels like they really need to optimize and streamline a lot of stuff before they can start rolling out real content but they clearly have the resources to finish the game.

I have a spastic friend of mine screaming in my ear about how I should demand a refund on Star Citizen and he'll try to make me read some stupid thread on reddit but I can't be assed. It kind of worries me that he seems an order of magnitude more invested in the game's failure than I am in its success.

It’s online only bruh

I really doubt they’ll ever get there. And they will definitely never make the game that is in all the hardcore fans’ heads. And i still doubt the games economy won’t be broken as fuck because they sold hundreds of millions of dollars of virtual goods before it came out.

I think 10 years from now people will be like “the real star citizen was the friends we made along the way.” Kind of like UO and other early MMOs, except the game wasn’t Star Citizen it was waiting for Star Citizen and dreaming about what could be.

Except the vidya crowdfunding meme has already died.

This funding at this point is literally just a bunch of rich boomers buying virtual ships whenever they put them on the site. It has no bearing on the rest of the industry.

didn't buy it because I realized they were having everyone VTOL everywhere, even on planets with atmosphere's.

also their ships are fucking ugly looking, not "deep space"/"ISS"/"Lunar Excursion Module"-enough; but also not "Space Shuttle" or "Mig-105" or "x-20 Dyna-Soar" enough.

also not enough autism with things like ship-startup/controls to make the amount of "detail" feel relevant

Release is end of next year no matter what because by Roberts own admission that's when the funds run out for the level of dev he has now.

He'll have to scale development cost to half what it is to keep going. He believes a "commercial" launch of Squadron 42 will get net a large boost in cash but that's pure delusion. The only people interested in playing an extremely buggy, laughably dull space movie have already bought the game.

The reality is donations have to taper off at some point. Unless it really is just a money laundering scheme So dev will need to scale appropriately. And if he can't even make a basic gameplay loop with 300 million dollars and eight years I don't see how he ever will.

Literally this.
The game looks worse and worse the more I see of it.
It's literally too ambitious and picked the worse engine for the job.

Most of these successful kickstarter games had already been in development for a while and were seeking extra funds to expand the game.

Getting software to run well is not just a matter of throwing enough compute power at it, I'm assuming since this shit has gone through almost a decade of development that the existing codebase will be horribly out of date already even though it hasn't released. Same shit happened with Duke Nukem

It's pretty much guaranteed to be P2W if it's ever released. The single player game is going to be severely limited too to prevent people from having fun for free.

Strictly speaking it is two games. One is a persistent MMO, that is what people have been playing. It has dogfighting and FPS modules. It is threadbare and basic as fuck.

The other thing is a full single player campaign a la Wing Commander. It is currently deep in vaporware although they show off trailers every once in a while.

Attached: 1551234966839.jpg (1200x800, 165K)

Let's not forget there was an entire third game, a shooter called Squadron 42, that they blew millions on getting A-list actors to do mocap and was meant to be released years ago. The current estimate is Q2 2020

Nobody ever claimed it wasn't common in single player games, the point was that OCS had never been done in an open-world multiplayer game. It did exactly what it needed to do as well, turned SC from a 15fps slideshow into a 60+fps playable game.

The modules are pretty much irrelevant now, everything that's in them is also in the persistent MMO. Squadron 42 IS the second game mentions, it's half shooter and half space combat WC-style game.

I thought Squadron 42 was the single player campaign.

Damn they put a lot of work into Jim Carrey

It is, the confusing part is that there are 3-4 modules (fps, space flight, planetside, in ship exploration) of the game that are supposed to fit into each other seamlessly that have yet to be seen doing that all together

You say this as a joke, but in a way it's kind of true. If there's one thing CIG is truly and inexcusably horrible at, it's centralizing and clearly explaining information, and the game is overflowing with features and mechanics that make absolutely zero sense if you haven't religiously followed development and learned how they work from explanations in weekly videos, stuff other players have figured out in the community, and so on. There's also a shitload of workarounds that a new player would have a hard time figuring out, for example the fact that a lot of missions seem broken when you accept them but will then start working and pop up a destination marker 3-5 minutes later.

That and the flight model is garbage so it's not fun.

I still have a good deal of hope for it, as what I've played of it so far has been pretty fun. I'm mostly in it for flying a spaceship, and dogfighting and racing with it, and I really love how that much feels, not to mention there's an undeniable comfy feel to having your own ship to sail through the void in, with its own interior and such. I also heard they're working on more content for those interested in being pirates and stuff, and I'm moderately excited for whatever that might be.

Protip if you happen to have the game, turn off comstab. You'll have to learn to deal with blackout, but in return you get to dorifto like mad and actually stay at high speed in a fight.

All in all it's worth watching a few videos of at the very least, it's more fun for me than Yea Forums had me thinking it would be. My only gripe is the way your ship weapons apparently revert to default if you get shot down. I haven't bought any ship weapons yet anyway, but I really hope there's a reasonable way to replace those or perhaps they aren't too expensive.

The real trouble is going to be it will cause all faith in Kickstarter projects to take a huge nosedive. Star Citizen is a very big and well known project. When it goes under, everyone is going to know. And everyone is going to remember. Those that hadn't heard of it before, will now hear about it because it will be on the front page of every newspaper.

Should force all devs to only release 2D games for 5 years until they get their fucking shit together.

Also guilliotine people who make bloated web page ui.

they promised 100 galaxies, and they havent completed one (1)

leak everything

Only thing Star Citizen has given gaming is some laughably awkward face tracking in a multiplayer environment. I can't think of any other game that has done that yet.

Leak everything and then plant a bomb in the building.

This implies there's anything substantial to leak.

Then just plant the bomb and then take everyone hostage

They at least tried, Even if the games still pretty bad

Well its a third party plug in so theoretically anyone else could just as easily as they did. It just seems like a really stupid thing to spend budget on when it adds literally nothing to the game. Surprised those vr chat things don't use it though.

Inm starting to doubt there's management at all. It's already hard to manage a single team, how can you manage multiple studios on different timezones which are aml composed of multiple teams.

Guys, can you even imagine how fucking freaked out the devs for this must be?

There are closet neckbeards out there who have dropped fucking FORTUNES on this game! FORTUNES! We're talking fucking FIFTY THOUSAND PLUS DOLLARS ON VIRTUAL SHIPS THAT WILL NEVER COME TO BE.

If the devs don't deliver I absolutely guarantee one of these sperglords is gonna snap and go hunting for their heads IRL.

If I was one of the smaller names on the dev list I'd bail before being sunk with the ship.

This is basically the exact same psychology as a gambling addict.

See what happens to gambling addicts is, they start out as relatively normal people, until they lose a decent chunk of money in a game. Something inside them tells them that the best way to recoup that money is to gamble some more, which of course leads to them losing more money. As their losses grow, so too does their desperation. It's hard to walk away and accept that you've lost $1000 that you're not getting back, and it's 10 times harder to walk away and accept that you've lost $10,000 that you're not getting back. The more you've sunk the harder it is to quit. The only thought that gives them any peace of mind is the possibility that their big winning streak is just around the corner.

SC is in the same state right now. You've spent $20? "Eh, whatever". You've spent $20,000? "No, no! The game must be finished! It MUST! Maybe if I donate some more that'll give the devs a better chance of finishing it!"

This is why SC backers behave like deranged cultists. They're literally gambling addicts. They need help. A loved one needs to intervene before they max out all their credit cards, take out a second mortgage, and sell their car.

Unironically the project sounded as plausible as any other kikestarter meme project as it was first proposed

then they realised the money tap of promising more features

SC isn't a deliberate scam, it's just that Chris Roberts and his company don't know how to make a fucking game and they're incompetent and get sidetracked by feature creep and expensive conventions and fancy offices and hookers and cocaine.
