This one is my favourite so far.

My personal loop these days is singing along to my show-tunes paylist while delivering space cargo, which is (usually) super chill. But I'm excited about expansions to multicrew stuff. I'm a fly boy, a big aviation nerd irl. I want to fly, and I want a Chewbacca to help with the other stuff. It's just a matter of tricking a player into swearing a life debt...

I really enjoy Star Citizen as it is right now. They push put huge updates every quarter so it's getting better and better. I paid $45 and have hundreds of hours of fun. The energy people spend hating this game, inventing conpiracies, and circle jerking misinformation is super irritating. The hive mind's assumptions are wrong, the lived experiences of a growing number of players is fact. This game would have gone bust long ago if it wasn't fun, a scam, or not making steady progress. Instead it's revenue and player counts go up every year. The people who try it stick around more often than not.

It's a genuine early access game. It's no more a tech demo than any other. You can be wrong about a game you don't play, refuse to try, and don't know anything about all you want. An uninformed opinion is valueless, a misinformed one is worth even less. We'll keep having fun in it without you.

I remember that one hangar! Oh nostalgia. You should try it again there's a game there now.

They haven't been saying two years away every since since 2016. It's a running joke that they say it every year, but it's not actually happening. That one in 2016 made everyone facepalm, even employees. Chris Robert's is pathalogically optimistic about a lot of things, lol. Even in the Star Citizen community, we make fun of that sort of thing. We paid for Star Citizen early access, we have Star Citizen early access. If we get Squadron 42 as well, great! If not, it's not that big a deal. Disappointing, but the world will go on.

I think they believe their times when we say them. The scope of things said after the 2 years thing in 2016 increased by quite a bit when their funding had another boom. They aren't intentional lies so much as just being wrong an feature creep making dust of previous plans. But they have a lot more to show now than they did before, it is being made in good faith. It's just had a slow start to build the studio from nothing and a lot of budget increases.

It's definitely got a Duke Nukem Forever type problem. We will see a finished game one day, but the development has seen a lot of design changes partway through. We'll see if we end up with a mess, but we will end up with something, I believe. And again, if not, it's still just a videogame. We'll live.

Don't listen anyone here, positive or negative. Try the next free fly and see for yourself. Too many feelings for an honest answer.

But here's my 2 cents anyway, ha ha: I enjoy it, they are pushing out regular massive updates that make it more and more fun every quarter. They grew a studio from 8 people to over 1000, which takes years to do, so complaints that they have taken 10 years of full scale development are incorrect. Some people don't like the idea it may never be the full game they set out to make, which is fair, it's possibly the most ambitious game to date. But it's being made in good faith, reports of a scam are about as reliable as moon landing conspiracy theories for many of the same reasons. In the meantime, what they do have is already a lot of fun. You only need to spend $50 to get in, people spending more are doing so voluntarily and generally without regrets. They have more players and revenue every year than the year before, this wouldn't happen if it wasn't already a fun game for many.

Gameplay is like a second life in space. It's very spaceship centric, but there's lots to do besides pilot. It's slow paced, the design does prefer immersion over convenience a lot of the time.

If you like big, slow (with moments of high intensity), immersive, cinematic games, or if you like sci fi it's definitely worth a try. Lone wolf play is doable, but taking a role on a crew is more fun (at least for me).

Jesus, go touch grass dude. If you don't like the toy I'm playing with, you don't need to devote this much energy trying to tell me I'm wrong for enoying it or being excited for more. It's a videogame. Who cares if it never comes out. I'm excited if it does, I've already got my money's worth if it doesn't. It's not worth this much energy to defend or denigrate. So I'm done. Post your misinformed opinions all you want, just try Star Citizen with an open mind one day during a free fly. Let's just play the games we like and ignore the others and be done with it.

Darn! It checks all the boxes, it might have been a book riffing on the movie's success. Good luck!

Everyone knows what they buy when they buy it. No one was tricked. People who play the game keep playing it because it's fun. EA and Ubisoft investors are indeed shitting themselves, using the magazines they own to twist this into a story to of failue because they aren't getting paid, while happily taking the ad revenue your misinformed salt provides.

People with opinions on Star Citizen but only know about it through the hive mind and shitty artices means nothing. Especially when they try to tell the people who actually play the game they are wrong about their own experiences because the hive mind says so.

Why do you need to publicly hate at all? These people are enjoying a toy they aren't supposed to so now everyone has to hear your feelings on it? Y'all are nuts. Ignore the game if you don't like it like you do with every other game you don't like.

The haters can silence themselves by shutting up and touching grass. It's a videogame, not a genocide.

I posted that video because it was the first one I found, it's not a grand conspiracy to trick you, jesus. Get over yourself. Watch the actual live one then, I don't care. Still looks like a fun game.

Lol, one of us certainly has been lied to. Your last point is blatantly false, your first is based on your guess about how AAA game design works. Maybe it does take 3 years with a game this big, I don't know. I'll trust the many, many game devs who actually play the game and roll their eyes at comments like yours.

I've actually played the game, bought it and have no regrets. Hundreds of hours, new friends, new experiences. You passively absorbed the groupthink. I don't care if it ever finishes, I've gotten more than enough fun per dollar out this game already. Cry about it if you want, just do it quietly.
