I think it's more "Ow My Balls" then FHV.

That is very unfair...
I had a go last night, when the download eventually finished, everything was GREAT!.. apart from a few minor niggles
Having to create a new avatar from scratch, I couldn't select any of the usual things like head shape, eyes, etc without randomising, no problem, I like looking like a teenage mutant turtle...
I was able to get from my room to the hangar without dying even once, granted my keybinds helped, apart from the fact that, being a leftie, so using the keypad / cursor cluster and Return key (which despite allegedly being unmapped from Global Chat, wasn't - meaning I had to hit it twice to intereact...) was quite interesting.
It was only in getting into my ship - which I had to go in sideways as it wouldn't let me walk aboard any longer - where issues arose, minor ones, naturally...
Thrusters are working, yay! Ask for permission to leave, wait in the queue until a slot is free... Oops, thrusters are no longer responding, press I, now they work, but main throttle no longer recognised... Sit in ship trying to find the right control segment, fail miserably, quit game.
Rinse & repeat twice before going to bed suffering from excessive intake of Jack Daniels, not a normal situation...
But, the game worked great provided I didn't actually want to do anything like play, so the article quoted is obviously erroneous and the game perfectly playable, to a minor extent!

Star Citizen: Playable as long as you do not do anything.
I gave an honest account of my session last night... As requested.
Granted, the mapping file was one I had created in an earlier version, which worked then, and almost worked on 4.0 - I'm sure if I had spent another 8 hours just re-mapping the controls that it may have been a less frustrating experience, but admit to being spoiled by ED, where if a control isn't working as expected, it is relatively simple to find and correct...
Perhaps, if I had spent much more time in the past trying to make sense of the controls scheme as it morphed over versions, I'd 'know' where to look for problems, but SC hasn't engaged me sufficiently to use so much time for so little play...
Yes, it must be improved as at no time did I die for no apparent reason...
The character editor's load and save function is a neat idea and works, too.

I couldn't quite make it out but it's not targeting empty space, more like the immortal landing gear. Those things even reflect tables.
Maelstrom will fix it.
Depends on the gaming press. Some do put out critical pieces, presumably those who aren't getting paid by CIG to write articles.

Yeh, some will be getting paid, as always, no system is perfect. But on aggregate and if a reasonably varied amount of outlets do a review the scores tend to reflect well the quality of the game.
Such eldritch knowledge will drive a man to madness.
Why are you so much funnier here and much less acerbic than in the ED game threads? Must be @Viajero 's good influence
My mate Jack, probably...Why are you so much funnier here and much less acerbic than in the ED game threads? Must be @Viajero 's good influence
In truth SC is so badly broken (worse now than 5/6 years ago) that it is genuinely hilarious...
Many of the ED threads are folk whining that the game wasn't created especially for them, or that other players are not playing properly, or that there are too many bugs that are unique to them...
At least here the comments are viciously honest without any sugar coating... With the odd person who genuinely enjoys playing the alpha...
