 Absolutely disappointed with my first experience with SC.I’m playing the game for the very second time and within the first 10 minutes of my session: My ship - _which I logged out yesterday in ArcCorp Hangar,_ was bugged out so I couldn’t leave the room. I was trapped in the bedroom since no door opened for 10 minutes until The doors suddenly worked. After i finally could enter the pilot seat - I saw that my ship (which I logged out of in ArcCorp hangar) is not in the hangar anymore. It was upside down laying in the middle of nowhere. _literally_ just laying there on the ground. After I struggled with the Map being bugged out, unable to zoom in since everything would always completely disappear for no reason I somehow managed to mark my destination. Making my first QT jump to Hurston, I was being drawn out due to a hostile ship. I was hyped af and ready to jump in and have my first positive experience with the game, until I realized that my front nose weapon is just GONE and I have no idea why. Additionally to that, a weird sound appeared out of no where where. There’s a constant static sound, which is only heard inside SC so when I Alt-Tab out it’s gone. So yea. This is my first experience with SC. To be honest I’m not expecting a fully fletched out game but how the gently caress are such trivial things so badly buggy after 250.000.000$ and let’s say 4 years of real development.

First thing, don't think of it so much as a "release date". The closest you'll get to that sort of game design and intent is the Squadron 42 piece, as it's a more traditional game. The MMO portion should be thought of more as a service; at some point they'll stop the wipes, once persistence is in place, and that will be the MMO portion "release". But the game will constantly evolve, as MMOs must, to remain relevant and survive. As to persistence, I'm pleased to say they are ahead of where I had predicted they'd be. Some elements of persistence will begin showing up as early as 3.8 (like, before years end) and depending on how well that goes, it is possible that we could see a "no more wipes" scenario emerge within the next few years. It's important to consider that you can't just take SC and hold it up next to any other game and squint and compare; SC has no peer, not in scope, not in scale, not in technical sophistication. The SC experience is unto itself. Once you accept that, I can categorically state it's freaking awesome being involved in the most exciting break through in PC gaming in our lifetime: proof positive that rabid fans will support the guy crazy and brave enough to flip the bird at the traditional developers who churn out re-skinned "AAA" titles every year to make the safe buck, and instead do what is hard and what hasn't been done before to finally actually push our powerful gaming rigs and deliver unprecedented game play. Check your expectations for sure. If you want to get in and enjoy 3 month bites of gameplay knowing it'll be reset for a bit longer, the game is stable enough to log on every night for several hours and have a good time. You can explore, you can mine, you can a pirate, you can be a mercenary, you can be a cargo runner, you can just buy and swap out clothing sets and take screenshots if SIMS is more your style. Emergent game play is prevalent, and I have made numerous "gaming moments" in the alpha - more so than in all other "AAA" titles since 2012. That's pretty telling. Of course, it's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. If you prefer a more defined, standard gaming offering, there's plenty out there. This isn't like that.

Isn’t it strange that they don’t appear to have scheduled a Holiday Livestream this year? They could turn in a low-effort affair and still reap pretty hefty extra portions of cash, at least if their prior tracked numbers are remotely trustworthy. (Big if I know.) it’s surprising, then, that they aren’t bothering. They don’t have to do nearly as much work as when planning a CitCon or other offsite fan event — they could (and sometimes have) just phone it in to boost the coffers by a truckload. This will still supposedly be a record-breaking year despite the late CitizenCon and absence of a holiday livestream, despite the Roadmap decay and vanishing Squadron. It doesn’t really seem plausible. If they say no more before the end of the year, that says a lot. Even if they don’t need the cash for some reason, why end the year so unassuredly? CitCon 2019 was a tepid one and, outside the happy screenshot society, the end of year air is kinda downbeat. “Chris, your targeting computer is off. What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I’m going to Hawaii.”

This "prototype" has given me endless hours of true fun and immerison. I've had more quality time in this "prototype" than I have in many major released AAA titles. I have had years of enjoyment watching the progress and enjoying every release. And there are many, many like me. So, what's your point. GTA wishes it could be at the level SC is at right now.

Tell me this is a troll posting. I still thought even the dumbest backers have limits and bars of BS areas. This can’t be their real opinion, that’s plain telling lies. Which AAA title had less gameplay loops and content than the SC PTU ?  Maybe Cabal from Ocean 1989 on the Amiga? That was an okay Arcade port and still may provide more content and hours of fun than SC, especially in 2 player competition pro joystick mayhem.

IcarusUpHigh posted:I thought of SC when I saw this thread on reddit: The scale battle has already been decisively won by Elite Dangerous which has an entire process-gen Milky Way Galaxy for you to explore. It’s also good to remember that most of the industry stoped thumping their chests and one upping each other over over the sheer size of their game worlds a few years ago, after players started to question what there actually was to do in all of that space. Jim Sterling did a video on it back in 2017. https://youtu.be/efKxC0RgyV4 But like everything else, Star Citizen is a lovely, broken, and belated answer to problems the industry had 8 years ago.

Or Elite Dangerous, A game a couple of days past it's fifth birthday *as a released product*. Seven years on, they're still projecting success to cover their sunk cost with a really big Someone Else's Problem field. Make the huge claims, and screw the haters and their fact-based reality. There are enough people out there that simply *believe*.
