Hmm... i'm mainly there anyway. Its 90% bullshit, 90% hype, and 20% actual game. Yes, i'm aware the maths don't add up, and generally speaking, that's true of most pre-order stuff.

Those ungrateful little shits. Code whisperer Crobbear has absolved himself once and is prepared to do it again when he takes a break from his vacation. What more do they want from him?

Has anyone even seen how amazing the cafeteria scene looks by now? It just needs a little more tweaking on NPC AI so they don't jump on the table and walk through the stools.

Does no one understand proper game development anymore?

I don't understand how anybody could have possibly forgotten about procedural eggs. This gameplay is like no game before and I for one will spend literal months playing ether game to compare my eggs to other eggs on the table, awed each time they are slightly different.

This is the kind of technology I would invest millions into, and why I own 42 ships.

So, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is out, and it doesn't include 45' train trips, you can even skip cinematics and jump to another missions within seconds. This is so much less fidelicious than Star Citizen.

Here's a fun one:

A citizen has compiled a chart of youtube views for the main SC channel

It is spectacularly misleading in a couple of fun ways.
* It is organized right-to-left, oldest on the right, newest on the left, counter to basically every standard you can imagine
* It is actually logarithmic, which severely dampens the visual impact of the swings

Despite that it's pretty apparent that two years ago they were regularly clocking >100k for their poo poo, and now they struggle to reach above 60k. There's been a major audience drop-off.

These guys are absolutely right and it's purely a coincidence that 15k is a hard floor for every video going back 3+ years.

Just 15k people watching an endless show about a concept art treadmill, week in, week out, forever.

In the game where top community videos regularly get ~300 views.

Not to mention that the same general set of people (internet chuds) have no problem accusing people with 30k twitter followers of buying an additional 4k for no reason.

Did you know :

An Anvil Ballista is four times the price of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw.

This is because a Ballista is a vehicle that was design and modeled for Chris Roberts Squadron 42 and then sold for use in the current alpha of Star Citizen where as Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is only a complete stand alone game.

You finally understand game development, giving you the authority to make extremely mild criticisms of the game on Reddit, but only if you first pledge your undying faith in Chris and the ultimate success of his great project.

The fact that they're willing to absolutely go to the mat to argue that Star Citizen is actually insanely popular despite no video or streamer getting anywhere close to what you might find for like... any other "AAA" game is loving hilarious.

It's even more hilarious when these same people argue that SC is a niche game and shouldn't cater to the unwashed masses who don't want to spend 30 minutes staring at a loading screen

I love when Citizens prosthelytize like this. He should start going door to door with pamphlets.

“Excuse me sir. Do you have a moment to talk about our video game lord and savior Chris Roberts? He absolved himself of his sins!”

People like this make me think Star Citizen is going to have a very long and bizarre afterlife.

All that lolworthy talk about how supportive the star citizen community 'really' in the wake of that racist rant reminds me of when a shitizen called up a youtuber called sidalpha who made a video calling out CIG for its numerous unethical practices and threatened him and his daughter. He took the video down, but the responses from the SC community were mostly 'well, it wouldn't have happened if he got his information right' :smuggo:.
