I can't wait for sq404 to maybe some day come out. I'm looking forward to the many memes of John Travolta doing his turning-look around confused gif with the caption of "so where's star citizen?" because nobody cares or wants to play sq404 (much less play it twice ), and they are buying space ships and spending money for star citizen.. not a dumb single player wing commander remake. Nobody wants that game except like Chris and about 50 other people... and that's maybe a long shot. Chris being out of touch with what his paying customers want is like the icing on the spit cake.

It's even more funny because Chris is spending millions and millions of dollars and over the course of ten years and counting we have games coming out now that look like the Callisto Protocol, which pretty much looks like a real movie (I haven't played it, and saw it has technical issues though..). Star citizen: Callisto Protocol: I'm sure there's better pictures but I just grabbed some most recent stuff according to google. Enjoy competing with 10 years of advancements outside of CryEngine.

Scruffpuff posted:Not sure this is an epiphany so much as a honey trap; note the following: Eh, guy posted it on the refunds sub and is hoping to sell his fleet on the greymarket. I don't think he is trying to promote the game, he even calls it "game". I know from my personal or friends' experiences that sometimes people become passionate about something that they retrospectively view as silly and not worth the investment, whether it's time or money. And sometimes games are designed to elicit such 'passions'/addictions. I am sure someone's job in CI taxxe: https://i.imgur.com/rZLEn0z.mp4

Yeah if he's trying to dump his ships it would explain the initial glowing praise - doesn't work too well to hint you have $3000 worth of something to offload and preface that with how it's completely worthless.

This trump card cat keeps waving around 'continual development!' looks real fine when put up against Elite Dangerous, a game that also happens to be in 'continual development' but actually released. It's not about vision, there's no results.

Haha it's so obvious. Star citizen is more than twelve times better, 2048x1152 versus a terrible 580x326 pixels!

I actually preferred that Kazan stories about his escapades with a collection of nubile females (with bosoms as heavy as thanksgiving turkeys) entranced by his rugged tales about modding Freespace.

Piss Cat has to be the absolute last believer in the “millions of life-like NPCs” promise. CIG itself has been walking that back for years, and the dream pretty much died among citizens years ago when they put Hurston in the game and Loreville turned out to be a tiny area with a dozen NPCs t-posing and standing on chairs. The NPCs in Oblivion are light years beyond what CIG currently has in SC.

off topic but did anyone play "huntdown"? what an awesome game. it was 5 bucks on ps4, man it was so worth it. huntdown screams "i am a game!" in your face and thats cool and good. the type of entertainment for someone who does not look for a second life but just a good time. you might remember that commando's story where he is approached at a party (possibly by a female) with these words: "i heard you are a gamer." commando "i used to be a gamer. now i am a star citizen." and god rays shine upon him. while the correct reply to this would be: "yeah i am a gamer. and huntdown is the hottest poo poo you can play right now." thanks for listening to my ted talk.

Very early on cig took on a system of not answering questions and instead focused on creating a community of "us vs them". Less talk was about the condition of the game and more time was spent focusing on Derek being bad and wrong and goons being bad. They spent a lot of time creating an area for Ben to talk, but I believe he was the main touch point for people and he wasn't a dev, just a community manager doing a bad job. Once the veneer of a war to fight for star citizen to be better than other games ended, and Derek stopped being annoying, and people started to ask about things like timelines and development, cig shut a lot of it down but did try to give details. Once they blew through all development timelines and promises, the new stance for the past several years has not only been no timelines, no promises, but also no asking about any of it. So it all gets shut down. Its effectively sit down, shut up, and buy ships. Talk only about buying ships or dreams that are not tied to anything involving cig needing to actually deliver something.

It also became such a hot mess with asking cig questions and not being banned or your thread moved to "concern" and shut down that it also became a joke itself. Effectively in order to ask one question and only one question you had to justify yourself as a believer of the project, profess your adoration of Chris, indicate how long you have been a backer for... And once all this has been done over several paragraphs you can ask one small, non-combative question with the hope that it will not be shot down by cig or your account banned.

Oh and also be sure to tell everyone how much you spent on the project. The more you spent the better of a believer you are.
