You've done well, kiddo.
For something that's been in development for 8 years or so, I would have thought they would have gotten past the tech demo stage? It's almost as if the engine they are using will never do what they want and will never support the volume of players they are advertising.

Why should they ever launch the game as long as nerds will throw money at them to "help with development". They've been doing it for 8 years now

There is no end to fooling nerds


Two hundred million dollars, friends

It cracked me up when you opened the door and your FPS fell so far the door had already closed by the time the next frame rendered.

This is what happens when you're a console peasant with less than 32GB of RAM. :rolleyes:

That's not the only thing that fell so far...

Also, look at all the city geometry that's loaded. That's loving crazy - we've had techniques to deal with poo poo like that for a solid 20 years now!

I mean, to be fair that's pretty normal for FPS games to have in the rare event the player finds a hole in their very carefully crafted world's to ensure the player at least doesn't soft-lock when playing.

This being an FPS engine with a space game mod grafted onto it - kicking and screaming - is mostly a haunting reminder of its origin, rather than the safety net it was meant to be.

Not only that but it's impossible to read while you're moving around. And yet I'm sure the star citizens think it's the best UI to ever be in a video game.

The hype surronding the 200 million milestone is the definition of late stage capitalism. Like it's one thing to be excited about making money but these weirdos were cuming in their pants on account of a company they gave money to making more money.

WE DID IT GUYS! WE GAVE A COMPANY 200 MILLION DOLLARS HOLY poo poo!

I can only conclude that all the dead end jobs of the modern world have robbed people of their purpose so they look for validation and community in crazy poo poo like this.

Just remembered that Kevin Costner was the one responsible for getting Chris blacklisted from Hollywood. He ripped him off with some bogus investments or something.
Thank you Mr. Costner, your meager contributions to cinema are nothing compared to all the real life comedy you have enabled.

Is it better or worse than people donating money to Kylie Jenner so she can become the youngest billionaire?

I say worse since at least Kylie doesn't promise anything in return

The camera used to bounce too because CIG are idiots. People complained because it was awful and made people sick, so this is what they came up with to preserve the fidelity
