I think disco lando is still asleep... the raffle just went without any CIG official present. I guess even they are bored to death already.

I'm watching this right now with my morning coffee. I think after this Star Citizen is DONE.

The gameplay is diabolical, the audio and fx are terrible, the glitches and bugs are shocking, the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the streamers is obvious, the near continual excuses and promises of future improvements is embarrassing and there is literally NOTHING exciting, new, original, interesting, artistic or even vaguely good about any of it.

To show up at a gaming trade show with this is mindboggling. There's nothing good or cool or promising about anything they are doing with these streams whatsoever.

Just this very minute I watched one of the streamers try to board a ship in space, clip through the back door twice, suddenly teleport into the middle of nowhere and then died 2 seconds later. That was the most interesting thing he actually did from the moment he spawned, it's not like he was having fun and then hit a bug, it's not like he was in the middle of some epic space battle.

This is so bad, so utterly awful that if I was a fan of this project I'd want them to just stop, pack up, and go home.

Please compare and contrast with the following, so as to give me some perspective since I swore I wouldn't waste my time livewatching this poo poo.

^People will still be watching and re-watching that in years to come. No one, and I mean no one will want to watch anything that CIG are doing at Gamescom 2016 ever again. It's insipid rubbish.

No wonder, I bet they are majorly annoyed they had to hand in their toy fidelicious cosplay guns at the entrance.

(There was a security change after recent terror and amok incidents here in Germany and nobody is allowed to bring weapon props to gamescom except for showbooth-hired cosplayers who have to check them in on day 1 and won't be allowed to leave premises with them until the last day is over.)

Yeah I watched him talk about the reclaimer that's a great salvage ship that can pick a constellation up and grind it into scrap.*

*Reclaimer not in game or hangar, currently only a jpg, no salvage mechanics are in the game. Plus he's making poo poo up.

They can say they are only streamers and don't work for CIG as much as they like, but this is a CIG stream with Star Citizen on the top at the CIG Games Com stand, anything these guys say is advertising and is meant to be accurate in the EU.

Everything about Star Citizen now comes across as a scam, the reason they don't even have CIG staff presenting is the same reason they'll let a German magazine say Star Marine will be in 2.6, when all of it turns out to be bollocks they think they are legally covered. Not so.

Yeah, that was the best part of the stream!

Interesting that he said that all the monitors are facing in because at Gamescom you are not allowed to have monitors facing out if they have any FPS on them. So I guess we should stop giving them grief on that if it is true.

Probably another reason they only took US streamers. Suing a "twitch streamer" over false advertising over here might work after the judge looked up "twitch" and "streamer" in a dictionary, but good luck convincing anyone to go after a sad-nerd nobody when the person in question is a US citizen. That would be far too complicated and expensive to be worth it. So they basically are good to go and tell all the lies they want.
