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

[IDtenT]

$2Mil and not on kickstarter? Lolwut. With rewards almost non-existing.

 

[Jarpie]

They probably should've put it on Kickstarter to get more visibility.

 

[Morgoth]

Yeah shit only 0.5% funded so far. Eternity was a lot faster.

Either way, I'm a man so I did not tick that "Refund if goal is not met" option.

 

[Jarpie]

Aaand their webzone is down again.

 

[Jaesun]

Eternity made $700,000+ in the first day.

I have to say his pitch is probably the better ones we have EVER seen so far. This dude did his homework. But the not being on KS thing might make the road a bit bumpy.

 

[Mother Russia]

I'm getting the feeling that I'm getting SYRILLED...

 

[Hellraiser]

6,73% raised now. The word got out it seems, if the current pace keeps up it should reach its basic goal.

 

[Jashiin]

Sigh. paypal and creditcard only again. fuckers.

 

[MetalCraze]

From the director of Wing Commander movie

starring Freddy Prince Jr.

Comes yet another free 2 play MMO

It's so fucking free 2 play you must pay before it's even ready

It has no physics, pew pew lasers, engine sounds and downwards gravity in space

Bringing space simulation into 21st century



Donate now. Be a man like Morgoth.

In space no one can hear you hypocrite.

 

[Jashiin]

I just can't feel any excitement for this though I probably should.

mm fucking o

 

[Comrade Goby]

Its not a MMO you double niggers

 

[Bruticis]

Its not a MMO you double niggers

Star Citizen—which will be free-to-play—takes ancient Rome as its inspiration, ushering players into a society where people have to earn their citizenship rather than having it automatically granted to them. In the game's online world, you gain that citizenship status by fulfilling certain roles.

Star Citizen will implement a dynamic economy that rewards non-military achievement, too. So, if you're an explorer who finds a jump point—folds in space that let travelers take advantage of to travel faster—you can sell the route and get naming rights.

It's not?

 

[Jarpie]

It also gonna have off-line singleplayer campaign/game called Squadron 42.

 

[Bruticis]

It also gonna have off-line singleplayer campaign/game called Squadron 42.

I'm sure that will be fantastic too, because why wouldn't a company pushing F2P MP shit focus on the quality of the single player campaign.

 

[Jashiin]

I'll get someone to pledge for me, but I don't have any faith in this being what I want. I will support it because it could give rise to a game that at least tries to rival Elite 2.

Honestly, I have more faith in Notch's space game.

 

[Volrath]

Why an MMO Chris, just why?



It does look pretty though.

Also fuck physics, if I want to play Elite. I'll play fucking Elite.

 

[titus]

MMO.... for now

 

[Renegen]

The real problem with MMOs or F2P is not that you're forced to interact with other slimy, despicable humans, it's that the business models behind MMOs and F2P just make the game a pain to play. There's really no way to make a fun F2P game.

TF2 and and Tribes aren't bad, but really that's 2 examples in a sea of shit.

 

[GreyViper]

TRULY EPIC.

 

[Keshik]

Roberts has always seemed to like grand SP campaigns, at least in the WC games (dunno about the Lancer games), though, so the SP side might not be utter crap.

 

[MetalCraze]

Clearly you haven't played WC for a long time

I'd rather play Freelancer, at least there ships don't feel like wooden logs (most of the time) and missions are something else but "kill 5 enemies"

But both of them share one thing that Squadron 42 does not have.

You didn't have to pay real money for virtual gun upgrades

Also fuck physics, if I want to play Elite. I'll play fucking Elite.

Elite has physics?

Oh yeah a game from 80s... how can it not to

 

[Jashiin]

This actualy is perfectly timed to net both disgruntled mass effect fans and everyone burned on TOR wanting that Star Wars experience.

Ahh, motherf.. posted a duplicate thread. I didn't see his video posted (this is not only the trailer)
