and even the NOPE

i've never seen anything about star citizen till now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYQhg9LVdys&ab_channel=YongYea

this is what everyone is excited about? 😂

28000 for every ship

its being treated like crowdfunding pledges
you pledge x amount you get this ship, you can earn ships in game, but every 3 months or so a new update comes out, which resets your inv as if you had just started an account after buying a ship. Eventually when it is released they said they will stop wiping inventories at each update and you wont be able to pay to buy ships any more

$28000 for pixel ships

you could buy a new car for that

elite dangerous is similar iirc

yeah i wouldn spend that much, especially on a game in alpha

star citizen just sounds like a scam tbh 😂

i guess it could be viable for huge clans or factions or whatever who could have thousands of players to spend that much on capital ships and stuff

because a single person cant really run a ship designed for dozens

and pushed back since 2014

yeah people kept giving them money so they kept promising to add more features which takes more time

eventually they gave up on adding new stretch goals at $65 million IIRC, its at 250ish million rn

what's taking time is all that cocaine they gotta snort

they have so much

crowd funding games are awful because of loose budgets

no one can manage a project with constant increase of budget and no way of knowing when it's going to stop

probably half of the dev time was just trying to get a singleplayer game engine to run an MMO lol

and general expansion, they went from 13ish people to 500+

if you want to crowd fund a game make a clear cut off where the money stops

which is still tiny for a AAA game studio, and even more so for what they are promising

and then run it with a solid and constant budget

or else it becomes clownish

and the project falls in on itself

and that's if you even get funded in the first place

they are gonna use profits from a singleplayer campaign game they are developing rn to fund the main multiplayer game

although im not sure that will be enough

>scam

Meanwhile, they employ a full workforce

And have developed a large amount of content as it is

And also

Realistically speaking

After getting so much *unexpected* crowdfunding

They basically had to reimagine the entire scope of the game and start from scratch

And uh

6 years for developing a big project in *traditional* workforces is not unheard of either

>$28000 for pixel ships in a game that was slated to be released 5 years ago and still hasn’t been

>not a scam

I mean overgrowth was in dev for like 10 years

and that got realsed

Clearly you've never played EVE

And that game is still going strong 16 years after release

Eve is one of those game it's full of boomer and it's a litreal spreadsheet simulator

EVE is the best example of a player-driven economy

I like the Economic in the game and I'll be honest I wish Elite has just 40% of that game economy

And one that works quite well

The only big problem with EVE is that it's really hard to get into by urself

I like Elite for being a bit more casual in term I don't have to care that much. Eve sometimes can get a bit too much I can't tell you the amount of time I was soo paranoid whenever I jump though the gate in that game

True I got into that game because there was someone to help me. If you new player you are completely screw.

Luckily, I dont forsee SC having the same problems

think about it Elite Dangerous and SC Have Crowdfunding at the same period of time but Elite is out True that not all content promise is there on releaase but at least the game is out and it's a decent game.

Meh

Elite didnt really appeal to me

Low on content

I do get a bit piss off the facts teh elite is taking 1 years content breaks.

Not very engaging either

Hopfully the december update could be promising but I have to be frank the latest "New content" is just trash.

The thing you gotta understand is that SC development effectively restarted itself in 2014

And went on to aim for a much larger scope

I mean Advanced Multi Cannon is just copy and paste Multicannon with AX Synthesis.

I want Star Citizen to be good but at this point last time I play I was playing a very nice looking asset flip

A lot of Bug It's as smooth and optimized as Microsoft Powerpoint Slide.

And fucking hell the player model look like something stright out of Chernobyl

what

did thet have arms without hands so they need fucking robot arms with them?

Look at the neck LOL

220M $ My friends

That's not the player model

That's som1 swapping a different model for each part of the body

Helmet looks like the outlaw helmet

Arms look like heavy marine

Not sure what the chest is

And legs are medium marine

Also Interesting ways holding a pistol.

TBH I know it's Alpha But I take technical test close Alpha for The Division 2 Made by Ubisoft and I encounter less bug than Me spending good 4 hours on Star Citizen.

What

That is *not* from the current build

Are you literally pulling this from an anti-SC repository?

maybe he's got an older version

He cant

That's the MP

then he's in contact with someone or a forum and doesn't actually play the game

That's what I'm saying

Those were screenshot when SC allow player to try the game for free.

You mean like a year ago?

They had multiple free play weekends

Could be two years ago

Pretty sure it's this year.

Nope

Can guarantee

That is not from recent release builds

Could be a PTU build

Which is the bug-testing branch

SC been crowdfunding for 6 Years.

And it's still getting money to this day.

I mean 6 years and it's still look like this. Also not to mention on of the ship cost 475$ for a Ship Yes 475$ In order for you to test a ship.

You would think they would allow people to test out all the ship in order to for them to find out bug that the ship might have.
