I've played the game for a writeup I did a while back and the thing people don't get (though those doing the free fly will learn, boy will they learn) is that, no, no one is joking or exaggerating for the sake of the joke when they talk about the tedium. If you flat out just describe what you have to do to get to the space-flying/combat portion of the game, you sound like a lunatic because why would any game make you do all that over and over again? It's insane. But it's really true. For example, the process for just getting into space when I played was something like: Load the game (this take several minutes even if you have a blazing fast machine) Wake up in your bed Wander around trying to figure out how to get to the space dock (there's seldom much in the way of guidance and no quality of life features like arrows or a lighted trail on the floor or anything) Marvel at the sheer amount of...just stuff! Everywhere! There's NPCs T-posing. There's weird vending machines. You get weird popups that you're hungry! You're thirsty! There's weird kiosks selling noodles and stuff. There's weird kiosks that may be for missions or insurance or whatever but none of those work. By the way while all this is going on your computer is screaming for the sweet embrace of death at every step You eventually figure out you can, actually, run to speed things up ...but running too much will actually kill you So you run, stop, run, stop in short bursts because it's faster than the default speed of "mosey" You wander through all these weirdly empty shopping districts. Perhaps you poke inside and find there's a shop "kiosk" that actually sells poo poo, but you can also walk right up to the rack and buy the jacket or whatever? Like it's kind of a cool level of detail but it's also completely insane. Like to change floors you literally have to press a button to call the elevator, wait for it to arrive, get in the elevator, physically press the button for the floor you want, wait for it to get there, then get out. And do this every time if you're trying to run errands. And for every single floor if you need to visit multiple floors. Get to the train going TO the space dock. Wait for the train to arrive like one of those shuttles at the airport. poo poo, you got on the wrong one, like those shuttles at the airport. It's not a loading screen, you literally have to stand there and ride the train to the next stop to get off. Get off. Get on the right train going to the space port. Literally ride the train for like 5-10 minutes to get there. Get out. Wander around until you find the ship summoning kiosk. (This is assuming you have ships, which is a whole other adventure). Order your ship. It will tell you your ship is in a specific hanger. Go to the elevators. Do the whole elevator thing again. What's funny is you can go to any hanger you want so you can get on/steal other people's ships and they get really mad if you do. Get to the place where your ship is supposed to be (Lots of time it isn't there which means you have to go back to the elevator, ride back to the main floor, go to the kiosk again, and order a different ship, then go back to the elevator, ride it BACK down...) It is a really cool moment to walk out into the hangar and see your ship there, not gonna lie. ...but it's undercut by the fact that you have to figure out how to physically get on the ship, which means your Slow Motion Hero Walk is ruined by Malcolm Reynolds, say, bumbling around the hull of the Firefly trying to find the button that releases the elevator or the ladder or whatever so you can actually get IN the ship. Eventually find and activate the thing to get in the ship. Climb up and get inside the ship. Open the door at the top of the thing to get inside the ship. Retract the ladder or elevator or whatever. Sometimes go and physically press a button on the ship's engine to start it. Sometimes flail around to find the light switch to turn on the lights so you can see to press the button on the ship's engine to start it. Physically walk up the ship to the captain's seat Physically sit down Physically press some buttons to get everything online Actually call air traffic control or whatever it's called to let you leave Wait for them to open the hanger door Hover around in the hanger for a second and randomly crash into things because the flight controls are a combination of weirdly futzy and intricate with totally kludgy Eventually, carefully, and hopefully you didn't blow up and die trying to get your spaceship out, you slowly and warily nose forward and... Oh, poo poo, you're just above the city or whatever, you have to actually fly through the atmosphere and actually leave the planet Now you're in space... ...assuming you didn't die by falling through the floor, lagging and jumping off a ledge, your character getting bugged, dying of a heart attack because you ran, lagging and running in front of the train, falling through the train and getting run over by the train, dying trying to get into your ship, dying trying to get your ship out of the hanger, dying falling through the ship because they're still buggy, dying trying to figure out how to fly the loving thing in atmosphere, or any of the ten thousand other things that kill you in this game. Because if you do... You start all over in your bed and have to do it all over again. Every step of it. Buy an Idris.

They aren't great but a good experience to try once. The ones that are the most edible are the ones that recreate already existing canned foods like ravioli or macroni and sauce. The lemon? bread and the poppy seed bread is great imo. Just do some steady physical activity for 6 hours with no food and then dig in. It'll taste great!

Probably something about how when they first started working on the game Cryengine was good enough(it wasn't), but when they decided to make it an MMO they had to rebuild it to make it work(it won't work).

I tried to try the free fly as a Star Citizen virgin because I hate myself and everything I love. It took about 3 1/2 hours to download the game. I did not do as well as Rotten Red Rod.  Said gently caress it and OK'd my space lady's invisible looks. I was taking notes. I OKed my transparent face at about 6:15. The loading screen actually looked OK. At 6:29 I got an error message that Star Citizen crashed unexpectedly. LOL. My laptop's fans were going super hard and it was getting pretty hot, so maybe I will try again in an hour when the poor thing cools down? E: my one goal is to get to see a bartender. I'm drinking beers, might as well get a fake space one too! HungryMedusa fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Nov 22, 2020 |

I wonder how many more ships from Elite, that actual game you can play, Cronch Robots and co will rip off and make look like total garbage. Do we have a pool running for when Relic finally loses his goddamn mind, because Im starting to detect the stench of desparation off that dude.
