>YFW you didn't fall for the SCAM CITIZEN
Post yfw you didn’t fall for scam citizen
And it's never coming out
someone post the webm where a player parks his ship only for it to crash and blow up, literally losing thousand of dollars
When the fuck is this game actually coming out?
What game will be finished first? Star Citizen or Yandere Simulator?
Where does it all go? Clearly not development.
I can't believe suckers like you exist. Someone's giving them all that money though.
Yandere Sim doesn't even work. It's just a unity template with maybe 6 things added and lots of shit code.
this is why you dont give the "ideas guy" any money
>Being this clueless
B-But once you release a game you can't add more content onto it in the future!
Really? Post it
Will this be the Enron of gaming?
But really, with the money involved what's going to happen when it comes crashing down? There has to be people out there whose entire life is nothing but this game, that's the way space RPG autists are. I'm predicting suicides.
How long till it crashes with no survivors?
That guy looks like he would molest you but also take you out for ice cream after
never, it will quietly die out with little fanfare. most people don't care about this game.
He's slowly giving up more equity as time marches on.
I honestly forgot about the game and I backed at lowest level.
Sucks that the creator got

Gladly.
Any gameplay yet?
Where's the fucking GAME?
last time I looked this up on youtube, it was just people walking around ships and some space station roleplaying.
Then some guy was sperging out because when you would summon your $200,000USD Space Ship, it would be outside in the docking area. But by the time you ran out of the space station after summoning it, other players could easily blow it up, so he was stuck in this endless loop where he couldn't even get in it, every time it blew up it was costing him currency which you can only buy with real money or something.

Feel free to ask me any questions if you need help! :)
Why dont they just hire a couple AAA studio to make the game at that point holy fuck
They have a river of money flowing in. Why would they split it up for other studios to get in on when they can have ALL the money?
why didn't you protect his smile Yea Forums

Why won't he highfive the poor guy wtf
it's those things where you can buy your picture from the ride you just got off from, so they don't want you to take pictures of the picture
Looks like one of those horribly overpriced photo booths they have at rollercoasters and similar attractions and the wagie is trying to block him from registering the image.

and 7 years later still nothing
makes me REALLY think
>$231 million dollars
Grand Theft Auto V cost a total budget of $265 million including marketing.
Has this even spent money on marketing yet?
>$231 million dollars
plus the $46 million they got from an investor for "marketing squadron 42," the single-player game they've been working on for seven years with 300 full-time staff and 200+ contractors, that was supposed to be out in 2014, the was moved to 2015, then the website said ANSWER THE CALL 2016, which was later changed to 2017 and then 2018 before being removed, which they claimed would be done by the end of this year when they started releasing quarterly roadmap updates, but they're somehow 2 years behind on the roadmap after just 7+ months this year, and list every level of the game as "whitboxing" (untextured modeling).
if they don't hit beta by june of next year, calder (the investor) can liquidate the company, and they have liquidation preference, which means they get anything up to the $46 million they already put in, plus 10% of anything left over (since they own 10% of the company, while having 2 out of 5 board members)
i'm sure it's gonna be really, really good.
you can trust chris roberts.
Its some amusement park that charges you for everything short of breathing. In this case it's a photo booth where they sell $30 pictures that they took of you on the ride.
>Grand Theft Auto V cost a total budget of $265 million including marketing.
>Has this even spent money on marketing yet?
235 million puts this at #3. It has officially cost more than TOR to make.
You realise they can just slap "BETA" on current version of a game and make it a deal?
He's fine. Once a year he goes on a random chan and posts new art.
We did it Yea Forums. We found the next TORtanic. Finally.
squadron 42 is the single player. all they have now is a multiplayer testbed with minimal mechanics.
>Call of Duty

Fuck this industry.
Does star citizen have a marketing budget? If you don't count marketing it should be #1 with nothing to show for it.

>star citizen could be the first billion dollar scam not counting Wall Street Ponzi Schemes
My friend has given 15-16k back in 2012. Was super hype about it for about a year. Literally refuses to talk about it anymore now, watching him go through the stages of grief over SC was interesting to say the least. I do hope he never runs into Chris Roberts though.
Another $34 million and it become the most expensive game ever made. Another $54 million and it becomes the most expensive game ever made adjusted for inflation.
Can Star Citizen do it? Can it get another $54 million in funding?
>nu Tomb Raiders that high
What the fuck no wonder Squeenix were made about only 5 million
Is it wrong that I want to fall for it because it's the kind of game I've been wanting forever? Not going to buy in but damn I wish it was better

What's the difference between Star Citizen and Kevin Spacey?

I have done some math
en.wikipedia.org
The most expensive video game budget ever made was GTAV at $265 million or adjusting for inflation Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 at $292 million
robertsspaceindustries.com
Star Citizen has received $231 million in donations.
cloudimperiumgames.com
It has also received $46 million from a minority investment from Clive’s family office and Keith’s Snoot Entertainment which is not included in the donations.
231+46=277
>277 million dollars
Star Citizen is literally and factually the most expensive game ever made, not adjusting for inflation. Now keep in mind part of that funding began in 2012 which has not been adjusted for inflation.
$231 million for a game that isn't even worth a $1 indie price tag. Biggest scam in history.
nobody deserves to be left alone for that
Imagine the videos by Internet Historian and Crowbcat when this shit finally gets bought by EA and shat out in its 10% finished state.
This. I'd drill his dumb fucking ass until he'd get a refund or roped himself after failing to do so.
ANTI
CONSUMER
>Star Citizen is literally and factually the most expensive game ever made
>ever made
>made
that would be an acceptable exit strategy for the duped losers who payed for it. Because then it would be EAs fault and we know how bad they are right? (Please ignore 7 years of development before that)
Yeah, it already happened with Freelancer.
roberts just cant contain himself
i admire he wants to make everything perfect but even with 1 billion usd he couldnt complete the game. there's always something that can be done better.
He's incompetent. Shit work ethic. Shit planning. Shit everything. Literally just an overrated ideas guy.
I'm just amazed nearly half a billion dollars has been rasied for the promise of a game, which will most likely be broken
>Gangstalked
Nothing notable was lost
DUHUH Chris Roberts here uhh, hello everyone! DUHUH we've got a uhhh demo uhh ready which we're going to play uhh now... aaaany second now... DUHUH
I'm convinced that you could develop and launch an actual spaceship for that budget.
anyone could make the perfect game with an unlimited budget, unlimited time and unlimited staff but that doesn't mean you're a skilled developer.
In the hands of good developers SC would have been much more thought out and finished by now
yes
i just wanted freelancer 2. damn you roberts and your autism
I wonder how much money Elite Dangerous has cost so far (including post launch). Less than a quarter billion I'll bet.
Its still missing a bunch of planned features, and plenty of people don't like the way a lot of the features it has were implemented, but at least its fucking OUT.
As someone that spent $750 on this but got a refund then bought back the cheapest $40 package, the game is shittier than its ever been.
Space combat is broken.
Farming currency is broken.
WALKING AROUND is broken.
Star Marine is empty.
Arena commander is empty.
what the fuck compels people to spend so much money on this? Are spaceship-autists just loaded and dumb?
You know there was nothing we could do user.
People really, REALLY just wanna go into space.
Space exploration is the next frontier and we won't live long enough to see it irl.
I expect at first it was hype. Marketing pushing a "World-changing experience" as the third coming of Christ.
Then comes the FOMO crowd, getting in because everyone else is getting in and OMG these pixels sure are limited!
Then there's the sunken cost believers. Those who have put some in and want to get something out of it so they put more in because "All the game needs is a bit more money".
I have spent 450 bucks on this game and play it often.
Ask me anything, Id like to clear up a lot of misconceptions Yea Forums has but I'm also not a blind retard to the problems of the game.
you're right, ever ATTEMPTED
Looks good.
Well what should he do at this point? The importance of SC has already been massively overblown by both him and his fans, as such: anything short of "best game ever made" will be a disappointment. He's basically chasing the wind, as expectations will always be a step ahead of the actual game and every improvement to the game will only further increase expectations.
We have very different definitions of what "good" means apparently.
What is the *realistic* ETA for a build that will be appealing to people outside of SC's core fanbase?
like some user said
microsoft/ea/someone will buy his company (again) & cut the game in half
I don't know how a game can be in development for this long.
Over this many years the technology improves, so wouldn't you have to keep going back to portions of the game that were done with shittier technology and re-do them?
ITS COSTING 200 MILLION DOLLARS SO IT MUST BE GOOD
The absolute state of Cultists. A game taking this long to make is not good news.
So they've said most of their development right now is getting Squadron 42 done, so anything being added to SC is basically also being used there.
Honestly it's been moving along at an alright pace for a year or two now, most people don't know that the early troubled development of SC was entirely caused by the engine choice.
Expect S42 around 2022 and SC in beta around there unless they make another breakthrough, but once SC adds any permanence and stops wiping it'd be cool to play right now.
Your friend is a fucking idiot

>Star Citizen is literally and factually the most expensive game ever made
Jesus Christ. How did it even get to that? How do you crowdfund the most expensive game ever?
Well yes, the revolutionary technology and graphics of 2012 will be less shiny by 2020.
What does the gameplay involve?
What was a memorable gamer moment™?
You literally promise people the stars.
Basically you can space truck, go into bunkers and shoot NPCs to steal space drugs to sell on the black market, look at the sights which honestly never stop blowing me away because of the budget and detail, run missions about killing bounties, and a few more scripted missions that are cool but aren't worth the pay out.
Also PvP until space cops come to slap your ass for being an ass. I love stealing space dad's ships and flexing it in all chat
I have many stories though, I don't know which to say. I grief a lot though.
>bought a $100 ship/game pack way back in the day
>back then you could still ask people to add LTI(permanent insurance limited to the earliest backers) to your stuff by trading it to them and back
>at some point they removed that so LTI'd ships became a valued collectors item with a black market on r*ddit
>seeing signs of this becoming the vaporware it is today, but while most people were still believers, traded in my account for $150 Elite Dangerous+lifetime expansions and about $100 more worth of Steam games
really though this was a small profit to get off a sinking ship, there were real jews on that subr*ddit who made thousands of not tens of thousands of $$$ by buying&selling chris roberts' digital spaceships
>Then some guy was sperging out because when you would summon your $200,000USD Space Ship, it would be outside in the docking area.

Space stations being no kill zones should be obvious.
100% Star Citizen
is the gameplay worth 200 million dollars
Well the people invested and happy and giving more money, what you think as someone that has given none is irrelevant isn't it?
lmao @ your life
New """""""""content"""""""""(ships to give us more of your fucking money)
Space stations are no kill zones and your ship repairs for free, it just takes time or few credits, of which you can earn in game. Missions that take 10 minutes pay out 6-10k and repairing you ship faster takes like 800.
I think there's moments that will never come from any other game ever and it's impressive when it works. But as of right now the flight model still needs tuning, and it still needs more gameplay for group play.
Being in your ship with your Bros chilling as you travel through lightspeed after a giant drug heist from other players is actually so fucking priceless.
What is relevant is that people criticize it because they think it's not worth the money, no?
I don't even know whether to feel bad for the people who spent thousands of dollars on this shitpile or laugh at them
>Space stations are no kill zones and your ship repairs for free, it just takes time or few credits, of which you can earn in game.
Space stations aren't no kill zones if you need to use time or repairs. There's still a cost.
You know how in Vampire Masquarae you go into vampire homes and you can't attack anybody? That's how it should be for hub worlds and stations.
Essentially they'll be relying on donations for another 3 years, at least? Is it realistic? What does the general morale within the community seem like right now?
You can't fire at anyone on stations. I said that, did you read user?
Oh my god, this is still going on?
I remember the very first Star Shitizen campaigns YEARS ago, what happened since then? Is it still being developed, at least? Independently or did a big producer take up the mantle?
It's still what it was already back then; vaporware with a development cost of an AAA game.
But you can blow up their ships. That's just as dumb as shooting people.
Dumb dumb game.
>last time I looked this up on youtube, it was just people walking around ships and some space station roleplaying.
That's all it is. the core game is BORING. There's just so little to do, it's so empty and soulless. Combat, both onthe ground and in space is unsatisfying. Every modern "open world" game has bored me to tears.
>vaporware
I mean I like to shit on SC as much as anyone, but it's objectively not vaporware,
Chris Robert's company is still independently developing it, but the budget and aspirations have ballooned since then. THey're technically making like 6 games at the same time (single player game, MMO, etc) and it's the most ambitious in terms of size of any game ever. They've had to scale back massively on the number of worlds.
And it's still incomplete with no release date.
Define vaporware for me then.
about 98% of it is
vapourware
/ˈveJpəwɛː/
Learn to pronounce
nounINFORMAL•COMPUTING
noun: vaporware
software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed.
They don't need the money since their income increases as it becomes closer to being playable, and the community morale is high since the updates are meaty and it looks more like it should every patch, however gameplay mechanics change so much sometimes it's hard to see what's really going to be in the final game.
Also to the thread: it's not vaporware, stop saying this dumb fucking meme
but it's not a scam
>noooo they haven't technically stopped development yet they just keep stringing people along to the point where they realistically will have the game "finished" by 2032 and nobody cares anymore so it's not actually a scam
come on
so... vaporware
sounds like SC to me
user just stop talking holy shit
How much did you spend on this single video game that doesn't exist, drone?
SC would be vaporware if the game couldn't be played, read: we could only look at it/read about it. At this stage SC is an extremely unfinished game, but not vaporware.
lmaaaooooooo
Scroll up a bit, I already said how much.
And it does exist you can play it right now. Yes it's not finished but it's playable and has some variety.
No fuck that, the only thing that should stop you in a station or a hub is the police.
mothfus sound so fucking comfy
>software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed.
>star citizen is still in development
is there even a build with fun gameplay yet?
Fun is subjective I guess. You can fly a starship around a boring lifeless starsystem and pick up crates.
Its buggy as hell though- you really can blow up or glitch out at any moment.
Its a scam if they don't deliver what they promised.
Jesus Christ Cultists aren't even real gamers. If they were they would be playing good games.
user you know someone who says it's not a scam isn't immediately a cultist right?
Quit acting like a fucking nigger
How do you spend 200 million dollars and not have something presentable? Do they publish their budget?
The more money they get, the more they feel they have to offer in terms of features to justify that. Then the project gets so big they need a constant flow of money to keep it going. THey have hundreds of people working on the game, so just to maintain status quo requires tens of millions of dollars.
In short: This is poorly thought out and is a sprawling process.
They have something to show and they did publish their budget and finances. There actually wasn't much crazyness to it so no one cared. Chris pays himself reasonably surprising most people
It's basically a pyramid scheme
oh man I only recently got this guy out of my head

How is it a pyramid scheme at all?
Do you know how those work user
>dude no really you can landy your buggy box on a sphere now i swear it's a real videogame!

>you can land on an empty procedurally generated world and do nothing
WOW WHAT A GAME!?
Im in it for squadron 42
im acting angry because you keep arguing that star citizen isn't a scam when it clearly is, which shouldn't really matter to you considering it's just a video game amirite? who cares if someone calls star citizen is a scam
People that like space games are either complete losers or mentally ill,crowdfunding for videogames is also one of the biggest scams of all time.

I'm surprised people still trust Chris Roberts after Freelancer almost never happened because of this exact same shit, and only came out because his bosses finally got sick of him stalling and brought people in to finish the fucking game already.
Has that uncanny trannyface
Also thots are disgusting and ought to be stoned
$231m And the game still runs like complete shit.
The fans odn't know about that. Much in the same way the Mega Man fans didn't know Inafune was just an artist/producer, or that Igarsahi was only the Assistant director for Symphony of the Night. These guys promote themselves as the sold person behind these series and the fans have a romanticized view of them.
Roberts made Wing ommander. Full stop. That's all the fans think of. They want to relive their childhood nostalgia.

>throwing away tens of thousands of your hard-earned money for a vidya

20 minutes of gameplay will be the following (t. Backed this shit heap for 200 dollars)
>spawn at Port Olisar at 30 FPS
>Most likely bug out opening the door
>Head down to the main terminal and spawn your ship on the UI that sometimes doesn't let you fully view your ships
>Walk to ship that is now outside on some landing pad

>Get in ship and pray you don't fall through the floor
>Start up your ship and hope it doesn't explode because bugs
>Fumble through terrible UI to quantum travel to your destination
>Spend the next 20 + minutes waiting in QT because we now have ED travel times
And the video would end here. If the video were to continue
>>Get to your destination
>Realize there's not a whole lot to interact with so you pick up a box you found on the ground
>Your starter ship doesn't even hold boxes yet so you glitch your box into it (or place or done nicely if you paid 2 win a better ship with more cargo)
>Also if you paid 2 win a better ship your travel time is cut down
>Also you get better guns
>Pray that that box didn't glitch you and drop you through the world
>Spend 20 minutes flying back to a place to deliver the box
>Pray again it doesnt glitch you through the floor
>As you are landing struggle with the revamped (for the third or four time) flight model that barely works
>Pray your ship doesn't explode on impact
>try to deliver the box, avoiding invisible black holes in the floor you can't see
>NPC doesn't accept box
This is about an hour plus worth of gameplay.
>Ubuntu

I’m actually glad I wasn’t born a white. Seeing your people well into the decadent phase of civilization, waiting to be overtaken by insectoids and shitskins must really hurt
>The game has no enemies
>Instead you have to constnatly be afraid of falling through the floor or your ship randomly exploding
No there are enemies. They usually float around doing nothing, crash into obstacles, and repeat the same two lines of voiced dialogue. Oh sometimes they just shoot into the void forever because they're targeting someone light years away.
>and repeat the same two lines of voiced dialogue.
How mcuh did San Andreas cost? Because that game is like an endless void of voiced lines. Think it's thousands of hours or some shit.
>my old roommate built a new computer for Scam Citizen 5 years ago

Around the same time as Bannerlord i hear
Anyone defending this game is a Cultist and you know it. So how much was it?
I dont have much in life, but I can at least take heart in two things.
I am not Phil Fish
I did not fund Star Citizen
Feelsfuckinggoodman
You know I would have given CR money if he just wanted to make a space sim. But he has no experience with making a massive MMO.
Crowdfunding is for small niche games that aren't profitable enough for EA and Ubisoft.
the wrong side won the second great war
What the fuck are they spending all that money on besides fancy doors and espresso machines?
Just imagine the colossal shitstorm that would go down if this scam ever got cancelled. It's like the Jonestown of video games.
I don't think the $276 million they're spending on hookers and blow should count towards the total, that's a little unfair.
how long has this shit even been in development
how is it not done yet
bannerlord will come out sooner at this rate
On the game of course! More money = better game, and by game I mean jpegs.
>mfw i got it whent he scam first launched, and i've enjoyed this tech demo more than most games i bought after
God bless Christ Roberts and his amazing schemes!
The better question is: what the FUCK are the developers doing all day? Nothing ever seems to get fixed.
All we are seeing is more JPEGs.
>You know I would have given CR money if he just wanted to make a space sim. But he has no experience with making a massive MMO.
He should have just made Squadron 42, a single player space sim, and make that first. Contained simple game. Then add a MMO sequel down the road.
>Just imagine the colossal shitstorm that would go down if this scam ever got cancelled. It's like the Jonestown of video games.
It'll never get cancelled. They're gonna release *something*.
Why release anything when they're getting paid millions a year for doing nothing?
SOURCE
we're all gonna get Roberts'd arren't we?
>actually having to work and spend hundreds of millions on a game which may or may not succeed
vs
>sit back and collect free money from selling jpegs to gullible retards
Truly a mystery.
I remember playing Wing Commander III when I was a toddler and enjoyed it for the movie-game novelty. I tried a couple Wing Commander IV and a couple other games that Roberts made afterwards and grow bored of them very quickly.
And all of a sudden whales started giving him literally hundred of millions to develop this vaporware scam as if Roberts were the greatest developer that ever existed. WHY?
Probably, and the cultists are so invested in it they'll eat up whatever gets shit out at this point. A man can dream though.
>nearly half a billion dollars
0,231 billions is now nearly half?
They're overstaffed because they keep employing their friends and family. They have 500+ people "working" on this game. That's more than most of AAA development teams.
I'm thinking of selling my house to help with development of this game. Should I do it?
I thought that /pol/ saying that the next generation will be genderless zombies was a meme, but I'm not so sure right now.
Trying to change a single player fps engine into a multiplayer spaceship sim engine and updating old jpgs of ships and making new jpgs to sell to people, which now need to be put into the game, which drains their resources, which leads to them making even bigger jpgs of bigger ships, which they sell to people, which now need to be put into the game, which drains their resources, which leads to them making even bigger jpgs of bigger ships, which they sell to people, which now need to be put into the game, which drains their resources, which leads to them making even bigger jpgs of bigger ships repeat ad infinitum
>Yea Forums will shit on the game
>they'll never get to know how it feels to takedown JT so we could appropiate all that drug into a caterpillar
>meanwhile we defend against raids by other players, having to make patrols so they don't sucker-punch the cargo ship
>mfw
The only thing I can say is that whoever keeps buyings jpgs deserves to get ripped of all his money
>They're overstaffed because they keep employing their friends and family. They have 500+ people "working" on this game.
This is such a fucking textbook kickstarter scam it's not even funny.

Since you seen to actually have played the game, would you recommend it in its current state? kinda wanted o play a space game for a while and E:D gets boring FAST
LMAO
>ever made
Nice, so 'soon'.
Black Spanish Hitler commands you: "pound my ass!"
At least, it looks like Hitler. All the facial features are the same, the teutonic block-head, the furrowed brow, the bristling toothbrush moustache. But aside from that, nothing could be more different about this alluring creature. He flicks his long blonde hair back, eyeing you coyly over his shoulder, his glistening ebony back muscles dancing in the Mediterranean sun. You move atop him and grab his firm D-cup breasts.
"The south shall rise again." You whisper as you part his cheeks and slide your love sausage deep into his goop hole.
Can't tell, never played elite dangerous but the flights in and out the planets are mind-boggling, too bad it still takes a while.
Good thing I SHUT DOWN my space ships so this never happened to me.
He used to be a developer and a director
This is just what happened with his previous projects but on bigger scale
The alpha has been out for quite a while
>every time it blew up it was costing him currency which you can only buy with real money or something.
What
I assumed that this'd be like starlancer and freelancer and we'd get something playable by now though. Not a backer.
sneed
Holy shit that was the funniest thing I've seen today, I actually feel like buying the game now.
He actually had publishers and management over his head who forced him to actually finish those games. He IS the boss in this case, so he doesn't have some keeping him in check.
They aren't is full of shit
Shit like this will always be the reason I laugh at people that think "PUBLISHERS R EVUL CORPORATION MUH GAME MAKERS R SUPER KOOL"
Turns out most people that make games are retards that can't balance a budget or manage time and having someone be the bad guy is what's needed to churn out a product that's worth half a shit
Get out Chris
Wagie trying to earn his paycheck
> The alpha
Wasnt the game supposed to be out in like 2012?
Reminder that Roberts started working on this in 2010
No, the game is as buggy and unfinished as you can expect, imagine yourself as a paying alpha tester
Even if that's ok with you, you won't have much to do
if you have real friends playing it, or better, in an org, then it might be worth it
Hasn't games like elite dangerous already done that kinda stuff really well?
It's already playable, fags.
You can buy the game now and play it already
>It's already playable, fags.
>You can buy the game now and play it already

he was too pure for this cruel world
Crowdfunding started in 2012 to be released in 2014
However they lost count of how many feature creeps they added for each ten dollars raised
BY THE TIME THIS GAME COMES OUT IM GONNA BE ABLE TO FLY AN ACTUAL SPACESHIP LMAOOOO
Do you want more moths, user? Because that's how you get more moths.
Honestly, Deadpool is the most shocking game on that list.
Probably all of that money went to the voice cast (mainly Nolan North)
Nothing to be proud of, given how glitchec and shallow the game is.
So basically

It's pretty funny.
She looks like she fucks black guys exclusively.
Are spacetards the lowest IQ human beings out there?
Never meet a spacetard that wasn’t fucking subhuman and dumb as a rock.
Doubt it. She's a polish weeb, not many black dudes in that scene.
Never paid a single dime for that scamware.
Sunk cost fallacy
REAL DEVELOPMENT STARTED IN 2___
It was just funding the company before !!!!!!one
It's a donashun!!
People actually think that.
>I don't know how a game can be in development for this long.
Bannerlord has been in dev hell longer than SC has.
Are the capital ships in the game yet?
Some of the civilian capital ships are in.The military ships are held back so to not spoil Squadron42.
Really want to see that big ass carrier
Yes, definitely. They have made $54 millions four times over so what's one more time?
Are you being funny, or are you genuinely not aware that it's an EA model and you've been able to play current builds for like... 5 years or so?
honestly at this point even if they finally do shit the game out, it'll be an unbalanced mess with all those paid-for stuff.
>STOOOOOOP IF MR. SHEKELBERG SEES THIS I'LL LOSE MY PROMOTION
>I NEED THAT EXTRA 10 CENTS AN HOUR I HAVE MY WIFE'S SON TO SUPPORT
There's a SHIT load of lines you can rarely hear in the game and you can find some real obscure shit on Youtube:

Forgot to post these three:

But it didn't actually start until 2016 because they couldn't get the engine they chose to work with an MMO space game.
>~250 million dollars and SC still plays like a 1.0 ver. of an Egosoft game
ayy
fucking
lmao
permanent pre-alpha is not release
that's a lot of projection there, user
you good?
But user nothing stops you from slaving away at mining for months on end so you can get yourself the current meta pvp ship Whale McWhale and his whalefriends had access to all along for only 500 dollarydoos. It's totally not pay2win you see
To be fair any ship bigger than a constellation is kind of shit to pilot in combat, and you need a crew or you're fucked in combat after that size too.
It's not complete pay 2 win when you do need more people, on top of bigger ships just being slower
>it's not completely pay2win if better ships cost more reallife money in an alpha because multicrew ships sold for hundreds of dollars also need multiple crewmen to work
That's just straight up cultist logic. They sold huge carriers behind closed doors for literally thousands of dollars a piece and only invited whales that were already 1000+ dollars deep. Obviously spending money on ships is simply an act of donating to the game development and not an elaborately planned out scheme by CRs marketing wife to squeeze money out of idiots in their search for ingame power
I enjoy this character
Yes but capital ships are fucking useless for the average task, and they get fucking shit on by bombers, you don't need anything that big to fucking shit on them.
300-400 dollars of investment should be enough, right? Wait let me get my credit card real quick I need to buy some jpgs fast
Or you can just wait and grind it in game when it's actually worth playing
Why do you care so much about a game you don't have interest in playing?
Pyramid schemes work by selling product primarily internally to 'employed' distributors rather than to customers. In this context it would probably be selling digital ships to low level employees tasked with either reselling those digital ships or recruiting new low level employees whom they sell their ships to who now have to repeat the process or run out of money. That's not how star citizen's business model works, yet, because they basically don't have a business model beyond begging for voluntary donations.
Scam Citizen is closer to a vaporware racket than to a pyramid. Like, 'we'll sell you this really good ship insurance for our game that you can use once it comes out' while also selling the ships to insure in the first place, without actually planning on finishing any of it.
I was interested right up until the point they decided their entire ingame fleet economy was up for sale with real money while the game was still in alpha. Assuming it will release feature complete with v1.0 (lol). Everything that was previously on sale for hundreds of dollars will take months of mind numbing grind to achieve ingame, because anything else and they're pissing off the whales that already paid hard cash for the same thing. They poisoned the well before the village was even built properly
Okay so now you go into threads and call everyone a cultist?
If you read correctly you'd see that I called your line of reasoning cultist logic, wether that makes you a cultist depends on how inportant it is for you to further defend CGIs cancerous marketing schemes. "But multicrew ships need a crew!" is not an excuse for having a ship list that can be tiered solely based on the amount of reallife dollars you need to pay for them. Starts at 40, ends at 3000.
Seriously? He going to do a sequel?
I wonder how many GPU series will come and go by the time this releases
They are surely making the game over and over again right?

Is that your only argument? Pathetic
>defending cuck citizen players
OH NO NO NO
Internet arguments don't do shit because everyone is stubborn as fuck, you're just the king of gay niggers though.
backstory?
the only retards still investing money into this scam are people that are already deeply invested into it and dont want it to fail and look like an imbecile because of falling for the obvious scam and losing their money. They are in a spiral of continously burning their money.
It will take another decade for the buyers remorse to set in, with this kind of autistic fanbase everything is possible
Different user here.
Really, not a scam. Sucks that only fucking game trying to do something different and actually make something awesome is getting called scam... but let's just fucking wait for that next call of cuck or battlefag VI to come out! That will shake shit up...
lots of reasons to shit on the game, but this really really isnt accurate. they reset the economy every 3 months anyways.
At this point, there is no other way around it. It's a fucking scam. It may not have been obviously a scam 6-7 years ago, but now it 100 percent clearly is a scam. It's never coming out. The devs probably spend barely 2-3 hours a week working on developing the game. At this point, I also feel no sympathy for anyone who gives money to them yet feels scammed.
>231 million from kickstarter
if it's not a scam they've had plenty of time and resources to show something for the ridiculous amount of money they got
Your desperate damage control is hilarious. Keep going.
>it's not a scam because muh ambitions and please look at this static screenshot of a procedually generated cityscape
>also muh cod and battlefield because I'm all out of talkingpoints that don't revolve around spouting meaningless cgi marketing dribble

literally nobody even talking about the video game, but just money.
You suckers remind me of those Spider-Man PS4 drones: there's nothing to your game so you would rather keep posting screenshots instead of actual gameplay footage.
Deez nuts have got eem

They keep adding shit into the game. Our lord Chris Roberts will free us from shit games!
Stay with us, salty faggots! I'll keep posting more and more of lord!
what a faggy voice
Lord Chris allows us to mine your salty nigger faggot tears!
Thank you, chris roberts!
Shit, forgot video for you salty faggots.

Our lord Chris Roberts allows us to buy ships in-game! Ships so huge you can fit your moms entire stretched out cunt!
Thank you, Chris!
>trying to do something different
Yeah, earning a profit without actually releasing a complete product sure is different.
Baiting is so bland on this board anymore.
There's other options for that now.
His wife sure turned it into a profitable venture. Marketing is a cancer upon society
Mmmmm, give me more of your salty tears. Mmmm... Mmmm!

Having to play all day to get your ship back after it gets blown up before you can even get in is pretty shit.
I'm not the original posted the comment you're replying too. I'm not sure I'm understanding your question.
If your ship is blown up, you can get it back at any spaceport or space station, it's free but takes 7 minutes for you to get the ship back. You can expedite the process and pay 800units and get it back in 1 minute.
Now, is 800 units of currency a lot in this game? No! I'm pretty terrible at space combat, so I stick to delivery missions. You pick up a package from one place and deliver it to another planet. These missions pay about 2000 to 7500 credits. You can grab a fuck ton of them and make around 100,000 in an hour if you plan your route right. You can a do a lot with 100,000 credits, ships are more expensive... close to 200,000 or well over 1,000,000.
I read it as 800k, which would take you at the most 22 hours to get with the 6k payout he posted at minimum.
I get people here just want to call people cultists and crazies thinking that you must've paid 500000 to just play the game when its 35, but the amount of misinformation in this thread is retarded.
>HAHAHA SCAM
>it just has like 600 employees working on it and Chris doesn't pay himself a crazy amount because that's just how much of a scam it is
Jesus Christ everyone's information on the development is stuck in 2014.
There's many reasons to shit on SC but Jesus you guys are fucking retarded.
Except Rebel Galaxy Outlaw was shit
The shitstorm will be glorious if it becomes another Fallout 76 or gets outright cancelled. I'll prepare the popcorn.

Imagine giving the "developers" of Star Citizen your money in the current year. Holy shit.
Igarashi made a successful game, though.
There’s other games actually trying new things, but without requiring hundreds of millions just to make a fraction of their game.
Then show us. Which game is that?
Why should I bother naming anything when you’ll just accuse it of being a scam without actually researching it?
I'm being open minded right now. You can just show us? All the other anons posted videos or answer questions about the game. You can just post a comment like that and not show something.
Replied to my own comment, oops.
>This guy fell for Scam Citzen
tfw didn't even know what it was until this thread
>Polynomial Quantum Drive Calculator
Fine. The game I had in mind was Dual Universe, which to describe it as simply as possible is like a combination of Eve online and Minecraft.
Unlike Star citizen everything is made by players, including structures and ships.
Right now it’s in alpha, and only really has the sandbox elements in place.
Threadly reminder
He got BOFFA
...
>I have spent 450 bucks on this game
There, was that so difficult? Now you're adding to the discussion. Yes, dual universe looks promising.
Both Star Citizen and Dual Universe still need work, but at least they're trying to do something different.
is it piratable yet?
that's the first thing Epic Game Store soiboys talk about when faced with facts
>b-b-but devs make more money, so in the future better games
>pirating a pre-alpha that barely functions and runs like ass
OH BOY
i remember this shitstorm
Well freelance happened 20 years ago, people forget things
I don’t actually play video games, I just come here to test my emotional toughness when dealing with online autistics or bait
This is prime bait; well done
isnt it f2p?
Star has better looking ships
is this what development hell looks like?
did this in 20minutes in paint just for you
Making a huge space game is whole lot of work, it's easier to just put a Sci fi coating on an fps or something
Looks like Lauren Lapkus
Guys I found Anthony Burch
yay I'm not retarded
DAMN IT user I COME TO Yea Forums TO SHITPOST NOT TO FEEL
Even better, they know once the game is out they can't hype it up any more or collect sick donationbux. Keeping the game in a perpetual state of "development" makes sure people keep coming back to check out new updates and dump their welfare checks into it in the hopes it will finally be completed, or at least leave the fucking alpha state.
White people and people who have their shit together that also don’t happen to be white tend to focus only on themselves and their on success. Kind of a waste of time to associate with people that are too strung up on distractions when you could be getting stronger. That’s why people cringe when you see “white unity” movements. I cringe hard when I see people of the ethnicity I happen to be born of being too close minded and distracted by literal nonsense when they could be much better
who da fuck is supporting let alone playing this doo doo?
holy fuck this level of detail is unreal, as far as i understood the game is in alpha for backers, right?
>YOUR EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON
>DON'T TELL ME HOW TO FLY JACKASS!
Yes. It has fucking incredible amounts of detail. When you just visit the throw away space stations, you see the game just fucking oozes its budget.
>white people
yikes
I might pick this game up in fifty years when it leaves early access.
Will it run on my 1050?
It will, but your performance will be complete shit. I have a 1070 and my frames can dip down to 30FPS on really demanding areas.
Back in my day preordering was frowned upon. Now they are paying for JPEGs
a 1050 is garbage even for lighter titles.
tfw gts 250 manlet
user get like 130 bucks and pick up a fucking RX 570 Christ
I intend to change everything soon
Star Citizen was going to save PC gaming.
M&B Neverlord gonna finish before Scam citizen
>tfw I paid 40 burger bucks for an aurora package back in 2014
I'm just going to keep it in the off chance that in 10 years star citizen releases and isn't total garbage.
at least you didnt spend $2000 on jpegs
up to 60 is ok because it would be the game price anyway. I did back it up then but i cancelled after Nov 2014.
