Is the game out yet? I was vaguely aware of the original kickstarter but I have been out of the loop since. I saw that FPS demo a few years ago and it looked cool.

You know there is some amount of irony when they constantly consider anybody with a dissenting opinion to be a goon or Derek Smart alt, while the big supporters are known to be successful e-marketing strategists.

I'm sure they're not logging into a pool of random accounts and poo poo posting love everywhere on the reddit thing and the internet. Kind of like that Huxley person just happening to post about Star Citizen everywhere. I'm sure it's definitely not a paid professional marketer. :ohdear:

why crash all over the city causing explosions and stuff?

You really need to drink in the cityscape and the care that went into modeling all the buildings and environments.

make sure to use your turn signals and keep it at a steady 45 mph, for the first few months at least.

that guy expecting people to do anything "for the first few months" would be one of thousands of spergs that realize the game is just a game and their autism armada is worthless within a day of the game coming out, which it never will

Slowly his fists ball as he crumples the paper, a single tear streaking down his face. Then he tugs on his phone and pushes it towards the poor underling as he demands, "I don't know how to use this thing so get Restoration Hardware on the loving phone now!!" :byodood:

Here's my own recollection of history...

Before Derek was on the scene, people like Beer4TheBeerGod were already doubting the project was possible, and actively posting about it being junk.

Now I don't believe the whole "it's a scam" came up before Derek though, he was involved by then.

But even without Derek, I think we'd all be at the same place today, though probably with less mass comedy and there'd be no hate forum on reddit dedicated to him.

Unfortunately Derek existing or not existing in the games timeline doesn't make it suddenly be great. Star Citizen would still be in the same condition it is now. Really though, it might be in worse condition today without Derek, because no doubt Chris has spent many hours yelling at people to get more done just to prove Derek wrong. In a comically round about fashion, Derek's involvement has probably helped Star Citizen be a better game. :shrug:



Before Derek, the bogeyman was named manzes and crobberts used to rant about him and his alt's meddlesome efforts to foil Star Citizen so if the Deed Smalls narrative had not prevailed an identical counterfud campaign focused on manzes, leader of the damned, would be there in its place.

Like Chris could have ever come up with any non derivative idea ..... ever ..... Chris is a HACK. [Full Stop] always as been .....

..... for ever a has been.

It's only the fools (many who are here, posting after refunds and the like that ever made him anything other that that.) that have lead to this event, had a mister no body fronted with this idea/dream it would NOT have go the initial money to become the scam it is.

Any one who ever funded this has some level of blame to themselves.

It was always CHRIS ROBERTS, Derek why did you fund it?

Same.

I don't think I'll ever look into the game proper but I really enjoy the universe. I can play through Space Marine a few times a year still. I'm keeping an eye on that early access game (Eternal Crusade, found it) that's looking to do large scale multiplayer Space Marine, I'm hoping they can get that working nicely.

Don't hold your breath. It's already been dumbed down to basically space marine multiplayer with some lovely vehicles. The original scope of the game was amazing but I would compare it to Star Citizen levels of impossible. They changed the scope of it to actually be down to a multiplayer 3rd person shooter. A very bad one too.

Also good examples, as are the other games that had things like planetary landings.

but you see Chris Roberts is a legendary visionary genius because the dream of backers is so great they had to create a great man to be able to plausibly believe their own bullshit.
