Bahahahaha yeah, I recall how the whole gaming internet goes wild with excitement every time the next Jump Point drops. People just can't stop talking about it, it's crazy! All over the internet!
No no, don't go looking for it. Believe me though, everyone is absolutely rushing through the pages to get all the info.

Apparently there are also unconfirmed leaks that at the Bar Citizen in Korea, Mr. Erin let it be known that SQ42 is still "at least" 2 years away...as always.

Does anyone remember and/or have the source from the employee (I want to say maybe Ben, but then again it's been years so who knows) that said they had played through the whole game way back when?

I mean, that might actually be true: they played it, and the obvious conclusion was that it was poo poo, so back to the drawing board.

It wasn't Ben, but it got erroneously attached to him and it stuck.

Now this is something I didn't know. Star Citizen History has reached the PhD level of complexity in its labyrinthine string of ineptitude and malfeasance; I thought I had some tenure for Crobear Fuckup University, but clearly I still have much to learn.

That is absolutely right, thank you!

Here's the source, for anyone else that is curious - very short clip, funnily enough, just a "yep, I've played every mission because as QA it was my job". This was of course still in 2016 while "Answer the Call" was plastered across every webpage they had and the game was ostensibly still coming out that year too.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Sexual Harassment in Star Citizen.

VOIP harassment from OP:



And from another user:



Emergent gameplay on a train from yet another citizen:



And finally some nice convos from our 4th witness:



And while many were supporting and horrified a few members of the best gaming community ever disagree.

Your fault for being a female!



No one wants an online safe space, you're probably lying, also it's an alpha.



Any company that plans on launching any kind of multiplayer game needs to have avenues for players to seek and obtain help easily and effectively.

Cig has developed from the get-go that there are certain players who can do more than others. Such as if you are a big spender, you can send sexually explicit material to women, and if the women complain, the women are banned. On top of that, you can also be elected to control security somehow for live events.

This is kind of the precedent cig has set for itself. :shrug:

It was Ben. He claimed to have played it all and that it was just as good as a wing commander game, etc etc. :)

You're all correct: everyone at CIG has played through all of Squadron 42.

Except for Chris, of course. He tried playing it, but ended up just bitching at Dennis for an hour and a half and then going off to get more vitamins.

Honestly I'm not even sure why I'm wasting so much brain space in my broken head to store useless star citizen trivia for over a decade.

It's not like any of this silly knowledge is going to show up on Jeopardy some day. :sigh:


I will be that old lady in the nursing home when somebody says "I'll take video games for $1000!" to whoever is replacing Alex Trebec since not even he lived to see the game launch, and they say:

"What is the three decade long video game scam that has raised over $1B, is still in alpha today, had the late Mark Hamill and late Gary Oldman in it... and still only has one river in it but is definitely going to be done two years from now?"

I'll start bouncing in my chair and hitting the woman next to me with my cane. That's what my end goal is.

The next day, I officially die before star citizen released as well, as another casualty of game development.

It's unfortunately necessary. There are lots of super annoying people out there who can be a little too annoying.

If you run any kind of multiplayer game, you've got to have staff to handle your forums and your game content.

And with the amount of creativity that cig seems to think they are going to make, they'll also need people to be actively playing the live game constantly looking for harassing things people have left behind as gifts for their peers.

I've been part of a lot of communities and communities for some specific video game tend to be pretty yucky. I'm not sure why video games is one of the worst general-admission stuff, but I think it is overall.

You can of course go to worse communities too, and dig up horrible stuff anywhere. It's the internet and the internet is nothing short of disgusting.

SQUADRON 42 LEAKED TEASER VIDEO BABY!!!

SO MANY ROOMS LEAKED!!!

EPIC SPACE BATTLE AT 6:00!!!


From the comments, it seems there was a 9 minute one with higher quality, but it was nuked everywhere fast so this is what we have for now.

It's 6 minutes of assets basically, quite similar to the previous vertical slice, but you can see the 500 million dollars quality showing all over :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzuBN0JPlhQ

Mods in the main :reddit: nuked it cause:

"the video that was leaked contains a lot of extremely unannounced stuff and in the same vein of the gta6 sub mods pulling the leaked content we chose to do this.

We draw the line where it becomes basically a giant spoiler for stuff that shouldn’t be out yet. I wasn’t even aware of these leaks until 2ish hours ago as I really don’t follow sc anymore. It just seems the right thing to do. There’s tons of other avenues for leaks on Reddit and discord. Having it here in full with all spoilers intact isn’t something we want just like the gta6 sub mods chose to remove the leaked videos"

There are like 30 seconds of some sort of gameplay and it's just walking with a gun and then landing a ship. They're making a visual novel :lol:
