[Megathread] Star Citizen

[Orange Joe]

Maybe if the devs had actually given something decent to show after 7 years and if people didn't display cultist like behaviour towards rabidly defending it like it's gonna be "out of this world/a genre changer" and other asinine crap then we wouldn't call them crazy.

After 7 years and consistent delays people have every right to be critical. There is no excuse for the fact the game has been delayed this often and the "scope" argument falls flat on it's face every time.

And no not everyone is like that in this thread.

You are free to support the game. Just know that what you are supporting has it's fair share of issues and right now that is where a good chunk of discussion will head until CiG get their heads out of their backsides and get some competency.

Thank you for proving my point. Back to not posting in this thread for awhile again.

Then don't. If you can't handle criticism then no offence a forum is not the place for you.

So that's what they've been spending people's money on, fees for superstars.

i highly suggest you watch the vertical slice for Squadron 42 from last year with the Chris Roberts (Boss), Sean Tracy (Tech Director) and David Haddock (Narrative Director) they speak to most, if not all, of your concerns and SQ42 is a single-player game so the story cannot be tacked on like it is for CoD seeing as CoD these days is just a small scale multiplayer shooter.



FOIP is turning out to be really great. i saw this live it was HILARIOUS!

Thanks for the link! I somehow missed this in my subscriptions feed. Looking great!

Was that for all of SQ42 then? Because I thought they mentioned something about releasing multiple story arcs.

The game was slated to be released in chapters a long time ago, not sure if that is still their plan though.

I see lots of people complaining about "They have X money". You cant just throw money at something and make it work.

That said, given the scope of the project... I'm not surprised. I'm also still excited. I recently got gifted a Mercury Star Runner for my birthday and I can't wait to run it. They've made expectations quite clear, I'm not sure why people are so bent out of shape. They've done an impressive job of setting roadmaps and what to expect.

I'm still looking forward to the game, but the feature creep was ridiculous when they had so many stretch goals. I think it's important that at the very least, they get many of these features in though, because I would assume that trying to add them later to a completed project would take every bit as long to design and get working correctly as it does to make it part of the game from the outset.

I just want to clarify this little bit. Does this mean you simply couldn't wait until you got home or whatever to enjoy it or, does it mean you can't do anything with it yet and can't wait to actually be able to?

The Mercury Star Runner is still in design phase. Until it's complete (later this year), I'm provided with a somewhat similar ship (two actually) until then. Right now I've got a 4 seater MISC Freelancer as a loaner.

The community keeps delivering insane stuff.

The Aldnoah.Zero parallels are striking indeed

The translation is shit tier tho.

Same thing I thought when I saw this new trailer.

[RampageBW1]

I believe the Translation is based on Leeandlie's english cover.

I'm sure he'll be playing the shit out of Squadron 42.

yeah, he's actually a hardcore pc gamer so that would not surprise me at all.

How is that a surprise? He's credited as actually being in SQ42 as "Ryan Enright". He's promoting the product he's in just like any actor.

All I thought was... cool another JPEG.

[ryanmahaffe]

All I thought was... cool another JPEG.

Well yeah expecting any substantial news to come out for this game at this point is laughable, unfortunately.

[Dhrizzle]

All I thought was... cool another JPEG.

Joke's on you, it's a PNG file.

[Eleccybubb]

Joke's on you, it's a PNG file.

That's even worse though.....

This games screenshots have that more glossy/photo look which suits JPEG better.
