So I for some reason got into VR to play Elite Dangerous when Odyssey came out and now I stupidly bought into Star Citizen after looking at it for years, because a bunch of people online keep swearing that the game is real and has things now.

I make terrible decisions with my life.

Anyway I loaded it up and hit the button to go into the sandbox, and made my character with what is one of the weirdest character creation systems I have ever used, and was dropped in I guess my apartment building. Then I walked around and there were a bunch of npcs doing nothing that I can't do anything with. It is flashing literally dozens of help text things at the bottom of the screen, and I wandered around thinking that he game would have something that would allow me to fly the ship I bought to get into the game. So I took a tram to the spaceport and there is nothing there to interact with. Am I missing something? If I wanted to play a game where I walk around a city with nothing to do and npcs stand on top of each other and I can't interact with vendors, I'd play cyberpunk.

Seriously can't someone make a game that is a space world that you can fly around in just sol and fight for control of things, and take over stations or something and it's just a more fleshed out world that isn't a mile wide and an inch deep?

Thank you for funding the dream, thanks to you we get to laugh at some insane concept ship in 2-3 years.

Also it sound like you wanna play Starsector.

Hahaa! Joke's on you.
SC already fulfils those criteria by being an arms-length wide and a hair's breadth deep, and the fact that depth is measured in breadth should tell you everything you need about the mind-bogglingly inventive nature of its dimensionality.

Isn't this just a big arena game? I'm not sure about "more fleshed out world that isn't a mile wide and an inch deep" . Funny thing is that original plan of these guys was "go anywhere in the galaxy and be anything and do anything you want". It was meant to be the ultimate space game to rule them all. Pretty strong star citizen vibes, except they somehow sobered up and went for space arena in the end

Why do they keep making space car commercials that also bizarrely push the hilariously tired SPACE EMPIRE trope? It's like I'm watching creepy fictional propaganda for a fascist 1984-type society that shows how the ruling class live in luxury with space mansions and space yachts but the other 90% live in subjugated, fetid squalor.

um actually sweaty it's 100% an utopian democracy. they WERE fascist but then they decided to not be fascist so it's all good now.

CIG are in the process of completely rewriting the cloth and hair physics simulation for StarEngine, the number of articulated bones they have per item is frankly astounding, they have strand based hair and each strand has it's own collision detection. Considering they are simulating a massive open world environment what they are planning is mind boggling. They have waving flags and drifting cherry blossom petals on Orison which is on the largest fully simulated volumetric cloud gas planet in any game. Skyrim V is a mobile phone game in comparison.

I don't want to shame anyone for bad purchasing decisions because I've made plenty.

But if you've been following Star Citizen for years and still decide to buy in, even when they've had free fly events. I don't know what to tell you.

Haven't you heard? Bartender is actually extremely fine and good, it only looks and works like complete garbage because server is super duper overworked, which will be fixed by server meshing which will be done any day now. But it won't help a bit, because that will only be static server mashing, and you need dynamic server mushing, but it will also need quanta and quasar and odin and why do I even know this poo poo

The hair was one of the worse aspects I remember from my one time attempting to play SC.

Everything was basically "you're a boy" kind of hair styles and I recall none of it having physics, but I could be wrong because I never saw it again once I exited the character maker finally.

Hair and cloth simulation is great and fun, but from having used it in Unreal projects I'm not sure it's ready to roll out in an MMO with-

Oh screw it. Go ahead Star Citizer. You can do it. :downs:

Anyone who can watch the scene where the recruitment officer says "Joining up is what made me the man I am today" and then he swivels his chair and you can see he's a triple amputee and not get that it's satire is completely immune towards analysing any media they consume.

Then again I've seen a goon review of the movie where someone said that they didn't think Verhoeven was capable of satire so yeah. 🤔
