I didn't read all 5446 pages of the thread, is the consensus that people are actually playing the game now and is it worth trying out?

I wonder what he'll do when CIG finally put female avatars in the game? I'd love to see him freak out when a hot lady commando comes up to him and out of her mouth comes a voice deeper than Barry White's.

Yes, but don’t spring for anything less than a $500 ship, and be ready for that 2020s release date.

Edit: hurry, hurry, the price of ingame items -always- goes up over time.

Hey, i’ve been following the most transparent development ever, and like bitcoin it’s a solid investment for the future.

Meanwhile, https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-11-20-fallout-76-review-a-bizarre-boring-and-broken-mess.

I agree with this. The Grafton monster cheese is amazing; murderize the superutants in the police station and you have an elevated position. It becomes trivial. Bethesda have a problem if this is the basis for starfield.

Trip Report: 3.3.5 First Attempt, Attempt Number 2

I spawned at Lorville again, loins girded for what would be my challenge for the evening: Get to my ship, fly it somewhere - anywhere! - other than where I was. Big props to whoever decided to spawn every player at Lorville now, I absolutely love the lack of convenience and terrible framerates that come along with it. No idea if flying back to Port O will let me log out and stay there or not, but I'm gonna try.

After going through the wankpod routine, I spent a fair few minutes running around the area outside my 'hab' trying to figure out where to go. The big thing labeled "ELEVATOR" was still see-through and I was determined not to fall through the geometry this time. It turns out the elevator you are supposed to use is a much smaller unlabeled elevator on the second floor. I took a moment to reflect on how the only thing I know about game development is that your players should know or be easily able to figure out where to go. I have much to learn.

The elevators themselves are fuckin weird, too. There's no confirmation that you've hit the (often fairly easy to miss) button, and the ride, much like Star Citizen, seems to go on for just a little too long. I know that riding in elevators can sometimes be boring, but I can't help but feel maybe they should have written in a 'whatever-whatever machine' that somehow advanced their elevator technology far into the future. A minor complaint, given what was to come.

Lorville itself... well it loving sucks. I don't really know how else to put it. Their attempts to make a "realistic city" and to adhere to the Firefly/Space Junk aesthetic have led to some astonishingly poor level design. Very little about traveling through Lorville on foot is intuitive, and the rub here is that it isn't really interesting either. For all its sins, something like Grand Theft Auto V at least makes getting lost interesting, something which Star Citizen can't seem to achieve (unless you find pushing static guards out of position and down hallways interesting). There are a myriad of offices, bars, "workers only" areas, and other places to 'explore' - if you feel you can use that term - but they all have the feel of absolute window dressing, as through they were added as an afterthought. A stroll through Lorville may start off as grand adventure but almost immediately devolves into ugly tedium.

After meandering through Lorville, I made my way to the train station, or rather the part of the train station that goes where I want it I guess? Here I was joined by some friendly commandos. One of them must have had a crime stat, because I heard guards shooting at him as he barreled into the train. The train ride actually didn't feel very long, but that's not really high praise for something that didn't need to exist in the first place. I'm sure the second time I have to watch ugly textures jet by while I stand motionless for the sake of "fidelity" I might not feel the same way.

I didn't explore the spaceport much, It was full of the same lifeless mannequins the rest of the city had (and there were some NPCs there too! ), but I did accidentally follow some guy to his Constellation. He seemed upset, so I let him be and went back downstairs. Finding the ship retrieval consoles that I had walked right past earlier, I called my ship and headed off to good old landing pad 7. Again, the elevators didn't seem like they were working, you just wait for an interminable amount of time and then the door opens and you go "Oh, I guess it worked" which seems like something you'd want to fix to me, but what do I know. The hangars are enclosed, and the roof opens up to let you out, but I guess I did things in the wrong order. I fired up my Mustang, lifted off, and then remembered I had to ask for permission to launch using my wrist computer rather than any kind of on-board comms screen because Star Citizen is a collection of the worst, most infuriating game ideas known to man. Unfortunately when I tried, the only person in my contacts was the Lorville Landing Operator guy, who told me several times to land and report to customs so I could enter Lorville. "But I want out of this miserable idiot-trap," I yelled, to no avail. The Landing Officer started to tell me that I was blocking a landing pad, which was a criminal offense, but halfway through his spiel I fell through the bottom of the level (somehow, despite being seated in my hovering spaceship) and enjoyed the classic "looking up through the bottom of the geometry forever until I hit the point where I finally die" gameplay loop of Star Citizen. With that, I woke up back in my wank pod and logged off for the night.
