Reading Sarsaparilla's post makes me wonder if getting the cheapest ship would be worth it just to see in person how hosed this game is.

Like it's hard to really express how loving boring and aggressively unfun Star Citizen is, honestly.

Understood, read thread only!

TheAgent posted:

seriously you could probably post something like "I want to show the goons how wrong they are" and get gifted a package

these people are desperate for any validation and, well, are pretty easy suckers when it comes to parting with their money

I could probably fleece hundreds of thousands from them if I put in the effort, but it seems like a lot of work for not a whole lot of return

Although this... This might be worth it.

Thanks to Store Citizer for existing, leading me to this thread, and introducing me to the upcoming game x4 foundations, which looks cool as hell. I want it despite never having played an X game before.

As long as it takes after the earlier games and not X-Rebirth you should enjoy it. Just be patient, X games tend to be bugfests until the first patches are out, plus mods usually make the game a lot more fun.

Cool, good to know! I might grab an earlier one on the cheap to play with a bit.

Are they really trying to say "You can't post a negative review, without playing the game." /and/ "If you played the game, you liked it, and can't post a negative review about it." at the same time?

So citizens are like my son when he was 3 years old - he came running down the hall into the living room, tripped, and fell. I'm sitting across the room from him. He starts crying, my wife comes out and asks what happened, he says "Daddy pushed me!"

Is that citizen-like?

I’ll recommend x3:albion prelude and litcube’s universe mod. You can try a campaign run through, but you’re expected to hit certain milestones before advancing missions and it’s sometimes terrible at telegraphing.

The vanilla game is liable to cheesing the Teladi stockmarket.

Jesus christ am I bad at this game. I was expecting a steep learning curve but drat, it does not hold your hand at all. Satisfying once you figure stuff out, but man is it ever opaque.

Finally gave Warframe a try last night. Cool game and now I get all the Tenno references!

What's the in-game publishing environment like, I want to write actual novels in the game.

Finally got the free trial downloading. I have my monitor turned so my family can't see what I'm doing.

My wife probably thinks I'm looking at porn, but what I'm actually doing is far, far worse.

I would love to fly this loving ship but it's bolted to the pad or some poo poo

I played a bit and pretty quickly uninstalled this poo poo in shame. WTF is this clunky-rear end interface where I have to select SPECIAL PRES BUTAN MODE to open a loving door? And there's nothing going on once you get the poo poo figured out.

This thing isn't worth the bandwidth it cost to download it.

I went to Elite instead, flew around, scanned poo poo, listened to music, and earned space bucks. And got interdicted three freaking times by AI. That's probably almost doubled the total number of times that happened to me since the game came out.

I think goons are the only people actually viewing this guy's twits.

And some of those at least were from people who are already skeptical about the project and the free fly week reininforced their opinion of the "game".

I was one of those. Literally not worth a free download. I want my data back.

I doubt that, by this point, Chris believes the game will be anything more than what they already have, you can see the confidence and bravado from the starting years completely gone. Right now his plan seems to be to keep the music going for as long as possible.

I noticed that too. I watched hatever the last video was that was posted in here (a recent one), and then happened to see one from early, early on.

This dude knows he's hosed.

Watching robo-Sandi phone it in during those videos is hilarious, too - it's so obvious she doesn't give two shits as long as she gets her money. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at their house.

You know, there's more immersion, drama, and story in a 4 minute Peter Schilling song from the 80s than this dumb game will ever have.
