I grew up on MST3K, so I think I could handle it.

But I can't find it streaming anywhere and I'll be gosh darned if I pay pledge any money for it.

This is it. That fighter in the trailer? That's the $25,000 whale ship, the one you could only get with the $10,000 completionist package. They've finally done it- they're pulling out the last stop.

Mark my words, this is the last big pump. The one that they themselves promised they'd never do because it would be utterly P2W. Project is dead within a year.

Watched a bit of Devil Dog Gamer play SC

I enjoy his streams usually, it seems he's deep down the rabbit hole of SC however

About 30 minutes of this I witnessed;

1) missiles that did nothing, or launched and then did a 90 degree insta-turn to fly off god knows where, I see they're still completely broken

2) he first had 1 ship which couldn't even dent the AI's shields, so he came back with whatever the ship he died in is (not pay to win!)

3) the constant nagging from the ships computer would be annoying as gently caress, and the red flashing lights that surely make it hard to see

4) had auto gimble targeting on the whole time, and the fight is just line up, hold down 'fire' until you fly past, turn around and rinse repeat

5) he still died.. and ended up in jail lol

All these years and we’ve not heard one of your wild dreams.

No, it got a huge amount of things wrong, and a few things right. Kirkwall was miserable, the whole thing was formulaic and there were effectively three different sets.

Hi, I pre-ordered Dragon Age 2. It was poo poo. From the encounters that were always three waves, to the concept that they wanted people to press a button and see awesome, more Dragon’s lair than Dungeons & Dragons. Even the combat was more just button pressing; the one time I broke a sweat was fighting dragonettes with a rogue and had to keep hitting and running with the recharging secondary.

Even the story was weirdly left field and as you point out, renders all choice meaningless.

Inquisition kind of pulled it back, but it was sprawling and lacked soul.

All of this is IMO obviously. It might be someone else’s peak experience.

all I will add is that I hated the actual poo poo out of the protagonist no matter which of the three settings the personality meter clunked to. It actually soured me slightly on the idea of a named, relatively background-set protagonist... because what if they make them someone I despise?

Look it's really simple

500 people, working for a week, failed to produce any movement worthy of note on the dozens of supposedly in-progress action items, no more than two weeks out from when they're scheduled to be released, and years after they were initially promised. Nobody feels bad about it and there is no sense of urgency.

*shrug*

That just happens sometimes with Star Citizen! Give some more of your money to us!

I have to admit I liked DA2 too. Yes rpg elements were simplier, but not every rpg had to be hardcore. And story was quite good, no world saving, just climbing from slums to kirkwall elite. Except ending.
I really missed option "you deserver each other assholes"

DA3 was too much open world, but Tresspasser DLC is epic, and hyped me to DA4.

You clearly don't understand game development
A streamer who proposed to his girlfriend at CitizensConned says:

:shepspends: This isn't far off for me in time played. SC is a great sandbox vehicle in which to waste time making your own fun with the assets, locations, and bugs provided. Fun that I've had, in all honesty, I've had despite the actual game, because yes, what's there often IS trash. Beautiful, unique, broken trash that is so different from anything else in gaming that I wouldn't be interested in playing a game otherwise. That's how powerful the dream and goals of SC are. The kind of poo poo that makes people pay thousands for a tiny taste more. We put up with it being trash because when the game gets it right and the stars align, it's magical. There are moments that make the frustrations worth it.

All that time would have been so much more fun if attention had been paid to making a decent ui and doing the slightest bit of balance to ships and weapons. Crashes, standing on chairs, lost inventories, clipping through ships, missions that don't work 90% of the time, AI that stands around shooting nothing, patches that are habitually gutted and a month late- I can put up with it. But after 6 years of this, yes, the game deserves criticism in some areas about how they treat the players who keep their project active and growing. Time played doesn't invalidate that there is some serious poo poo wrong with the alpha that should have been prioritized over adding more pretty a long time ago.

So I'll keep playing. I'll keep bringing people into the game, because I support the project and think they'll get it right eventually. But I'd prefer if most of the next 4000 hours didn't feel like I was squeezing blood out of a game that in most patches is 100% pay to win. One of these days I'd like a decent flight model, I'd like to see what I'm shooting, and I'd like a fight to come down to more than load out. And that doesn't seem so unreasonable to me.
