Ah, i remember faithful declaring you don't do stuff like tutorial missions until after alpha, because everything can still change, and its just a waste of effort. Its just for testing, not playing.
Perhaps they should tell CIG.

Ooof, its one thing to take a break, another to uninstall. He's a megawhale and even he got tired of CIG's incompetence.
Be funny if he turned up one day on SC refunds
BG3 for me. I tend to avoid early access these days, but i couldn't resist with BG3. Main issue is i've done act 1 several times now, so its going to be a bit of a chore when the game releases (later this year apparently) and i have to do it all over again. However, they are still adding stuff to act 1, so hopefully new stuff for me to do/find in it.
I remember spending days in the procedural dungeons and my computer couldn't handle the 3d map without sometimes crashing the game so these floor falls usually brought me some much needed closure from some of the most tense and creepy gameplay I ever experienced.
I know this gets thrown around but never been done before lol. I never caught these vibes again until Minecraft.

True indeed.
Although Star Ctizen has been officially released (in early access) and it is sold as PLAYABLE NOW. It is a regular product like any other, sold as is.
Hey, it looks like Star Citizen really does have lasting influence on modern games.

I see a lot of tension of the state of the game right now. I think stress testing and gathering data to improve the game is fine, and CIG has expressed that is what they are doing. But how can we...

“Showing a game that does not represent what the game is right now, we cant defend the state of the game as a Data collection stress test while also being fine with a commercial tricking new players into thinking this is a game the resembles what is seen in that ad.”
It’s almost as if this already released game (in early access) needed the usual widespread game press reviews / scores.

But this has been the modus operandi now for many years. Presenting it a playable product but using the "its alpha" or "you're meant to be testing it" defenses the moment there is any criticism.
It's Schrödinger's game. If backers are mad then it's an early access alpha to help test where ships are an extra gift that comes with your pledge. If lawyers are mad then it's a released game and ships were purchased via a cash shop where all sales are final.
Either the faithful don't understand game development or its CIG who doesn't understand,
Out of curiosity how are the fans justifying this move?
A great man of confidence recently said "success is not what should be expected tomorrow -that would be insane" + a few more years.

Indeed. Although one can have some leeway when you are under a non released still crowdfunded scheme. Not the case of SC anymore though as the base game (the PU) is a released product and has not been crowdfund based for a long time.

Unmatched is all I think of when I read that bit.
If CIG are running ads suggesting it is playable now, then I say that counts as a release and therefore the gaming press should be rating it as a matter of consumer responsibility.
But how could you call this mess playable now?
