Squadron 42 reviews have been mostly very positive so far. And the game seems to be pretty polished!

CIG speaks on the sackings thing...

Reports of widespread layoffs at CIG are false," a Cloud Imperium representative said. "We have grown from 900 to 1100 employees this year, due to organic growth and the completed acquisition and integration of Turbulent into CIG. As part of this process, we looked at where we could increase efficiency by making sure the key teams working together were co-located, which resulted in us determining 9 roles were better suited in other locations.

Cloud Imperium Games says the truth is that the studio has actually grown this year.

If they have gone from 900 to 1100 employees (a 22% increase) while YoY sales are down ~12% and YoY new accounts down ~20% then CiG better hope that somehow CitCon and the end of year sales are amazing. I have a hard time seeing that happening but we'll know soon enough.

tbh, I didn't really believe their imaginary numbers when they were doing well, so it's hard to accept their imaginary numbers when they're doing poorly. It's not like accountability is their strong suit. I think the only thing that can be taken away is the perception they're trying to foster. They used to sell the idea they are going gangbusters (real or otherwise), now they might be trying to temper expectations - which says more than the fake numbers imo.

Spectrum's "other games" section of the forum is full of Starfield threads.

Short answer: HELL TO THE NO.

Now, I've not playing enough through the into story to compare this to SQ42 (and frankly I wouldn't be in the first place, because nobody player or heard anything about that game).

And

My faith in Star Citizen is reinstated.

So, his faith in SC is contingent on other games not being what he wants, and not, for example, SC actually being worthy of that faith?

Oh my...

CIG is doing it right. Starfield is fun but it's nothing like Star Citizen or what I expect Squadron 42 will be.

CIG is doing it right... by never producing a product?

What exactly does he expect Squadron 42 to be? I mean it's basically a single player scripted mission as far as anyone knows, what exactly is he expecting? I suspect someone is going to be suffering some huge disappointment.......well I suppose if they aren't already hugely disappointed by its actual failure to exist after ten years plus maybe not, but I suspect Squadron 42, if it does indeed get released, will actually be far worse than anyone expects!

It seems SQ42 has a main quest line but also sidequest availables (like SF).
We still don't know if planets are fully accessible like in SF or limited to some zones like in Mass effect.

BTW, to the citizens saying Starfield is "just a Fallout in space". Star Citizen is Freelancer 2, or at least what Chris said Freelancer would be before his forced exit from the project. And Squadron 42 is just a modernised Wing Commander, the difference being it seems like it does not exist.
