Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

[anvi]

The only capital-size ship currently in game you can buy with uAEC and any decent sized corp could easily afford it. A solo player could probably grind it out in a month of consistent play. So yeah, when the Idris K becomes flyable in game I don't see why it wouldn't be.

As of Star Citizen Alpha 3.17.4, there are 113 flyable vehicles, 92 of which are ships.

That's fucking sad. Zoomers roleplaying like they are selling homes to other zoomers who can't afford a home. Also having it shaped like ship but in space makes it look retarded.

I just cannot tell if this video will be objective.

I think that most of those " Should you buy - insert mmo here - in - insert current year -?" videos are made by players that sit deep in that mmo for years, unless the game is in such state that even the most ancient whales will start to leave the ship, those videos will probably always end with "yeah you should try it".

idk it's such an easy obvious topic for a channel that I always just assumed people don't even play the games but just crank out videos about them year after year
i mean really if you want to make those vids all you need to do is like check the website for big updates, check reddit for controversies or general player sentiment, then copy paste those things into a 10 minute rambling over random game footage... honestly an AI could probably churn out a ton of these without even playing any of the games lmao

Referal codes give you like 5000aUEC in game currency. Which is effectively nothing. starter missions give you like 5-8k...
cheapest ship to buy with Quantum drive for ingame currency is Aurora es for 130k. There are some cheaper things like off road car or hover bike but those can't be used to travel to other planets etc.

That's even more pathetic.

 

[spectre]

That's even more pathetic.

Welcome to Star Citizen. Would you like to know more?

Also, is the 3.18 patch thing out for the hoi polloi yet?
I mean, no rush, it's only been like half a year of "it's totally just round the corner and it's gonna change everything".

 

[fantadomat]

how fair the game is when it comes to monetization

Is it fair to all the people that bought ships a decade ago and never got their purchase?

Yes,it is. It is called tax on stupidity.

 

[PulsatingBrain]

If you'd told me this tale 10 years ago, I'd have probably laughed at you.

And there are still people in full support of the project.

People actually paid money for this Vapourware

I was smart enough to just waste my money on warhammer tabletop shit

Seeing boarding gameplay implemented makes me sad that boarding was never added to Guns of Icarus. We'll never get a cool airship game.

Sci-fi novel status: Strong black women and trannies save the world from global warming and white men (AKA one long *beeeeeeeeeeeep* from the EKG)

"Oh new hugo and nebula awards are upon us! Im so excited, let me see the abstracts of the winner's books, hmm the plot is an obfuscated metaphor of white privilege in space, maybe another one will be better? Oh this one is about struggles of feminism in space fleet, fascinating material *yawn*"

Theres no space left for old sci-fi nerds. We are resorted to read some obscure hypermasculine niche trash from some less known and almost non published writers, or just old literate in general.

Fortunately, there's plenty more good-to-great sci-fi remaining to dig up and read that dates from the '50s-'90s than I would have assumed. The problem is finding it. The Internet is only slightly helpful in this regard, as the signal-to-noise ratio is extremely high.

The other problem, of course, is that the dream of space exploration is effectively dead. In the '60s, '70s, and '80s, people could very reasonably believe that their children or grandchildren would be driving buggies around a Moon colony; whereas today, we can feel sure that our grandchildren will be reading the same overhyped pop-sci bullshit about how we "could be" launching the first Mars mission, "likely" within the next two decades.

8 years struggling with elevators, I guess A Dumb Looser was actually right about something, papa Chris is really doing what other companies won't even dare to try... clearly, it's these mother fuckers that are going to revolutionize the gaming industry as we know it, you'll see, after they finally figure out how to make these work without murdering players in the next 2-3 years, Jesus Tech will be out in no time.

He refuses to think to himself, maybe I should compromise in this area, and instead decides to have his "masterpiece" be vapourware for eternity. Plus that stupid waste of money that was the "cool" door at the dev studio, what the fuck was he thinking.
I'm sure when I shuffle off my mortal coil and burn in hell this game will still be in eternal alpha.

No, he understands that the main thing that threatens his ability to float around on a boat made of cash is making his game a reality which will fail to live up to the dreams of the poor bastards who've been bankrolling him to date. So he needs to give the just enough of a dream to get them to pay, but not enough for reality to set in.

Fair I guess Im coming from this on the idea that he actually wants the game to release, less because he cares about the tards who spent the gdp of a South American country on this "game", but because he is an ego maniac and wants the "biggest bestest" game ever to have his name on it.
Meanwhile you got the more cynical view of him just milking these tards till the heat death of the universe.

This and why compromise on your dream if you don't have to? Most artists only finish their shit because they have a deadline and bills to pay. If you get paid to not deliver...

Well when the money runs out on this ride the end products going to be REALLY funny to lambast. XX(X?) years and all I got was this posts placed on Roberts gravestone.

I dunno you have people in this very thread saying because they got a test alpha that doesn't really work that it was worth the money they spent. At this point I truly believe that even if they never deliver a final product the backers will find a way to defend it.

This is completely baseless and pulled from nowhere.

By the looks of things, it may be how Roberts sees this project, sure. Although I think his ego wants it done and done well ASAP.

How long will it take, Elite dangerous, for all the shit I'll give them already has space feet in their game, this game's not even close to finishing its alpha stage.

 

[PulsatingBrain]

Elite dangerous

I thought that game was finished a long time ago? Are they still releasing DLC, or just patching?

This is the third DLC, I think, that or its the second (paid) DLC and the third new iteration. Either way the game's hit or miss (wide ocean deep puddle shit) and the latest DLC was super meh.

They're still releasing DLC but as soon as one comes out it's pretty much abandoned in favor of the next big thing as is always the case in buy2play games. Horizons planetary landings and vehicles was extremely meh and Odyssey space legs expansion was downright awful after being hyped up for so long. There's a reason Elite Dangerous players left for Star Citizen in droves. 36% positive a year and a half since launching and patching it.


Star Citizen = $45
Elite Dangerous = $60, Horizons = $30, Odyssey = $40
lol, lmao even
