Love the judgement without playing it or without knowing what it contains. Keep at it. Also forgetting that the balancing work is on going so a few easy vanduul kills shouldn't make you think that it is an arcade shooter.
Check this guy out : http://www.youtube.com/user/chrisut
He is a very hardcore simulation fan and reviewed some of the elements in Star Citizen to real world planes and simulation games and checked in with most of them.
You guys think this is an Arcade game well keep thinking that way.
If this was a sim/skill game do you seriously think you would still be racking up the kills with you wings blown off? Or racking up kills on your very first try?
Right now it reminds me of Hot Shots Part Deux.
To be honest, even as arcade games go, I've seen many that are far more challenging.

Sorry, but I could not find any review of AC following the link you have provided. There is only hangar module there and HUD design review. And both of these are only tiny parts of the gameplay - no flying. Everything might look nice and shiny on paper.
Kind of defencive there Mr.Nowak.
If SC has gone the way of Freelancer and War Thunder then the criticism is very appropriate. That was always the danger in a Chris Roberts product. All the talk about support for HOTAS controllers and complicated physics models can easily turn out to be just so much hot air, and what we are really getting is a casual game tailored for the mouse and an x-box controller.

Exactly, even if you look at the manual you will see that KB/M have much more key-bindings than any other controller. HOTAS have several times less bindings!
Possible... then again, maybe actual damage and physics systems simply aren't in yet? We saw g-forces in the presentation a month ago, those aren't in either...
It's the hud design video which is the one implemented in Arena Commander.
Sorry if it looks that way. Well anyway i'll let people think what they think and stop arguing. This game was a scam for a year now and that went away. It's an arcade game now and that will go away too.
Because you can do your own bindings with a hotas as it has more options. You can have 100 key binds in Star Citizen.

They are all in. The people playing them don't know how to enable them. When you watch the videos watch the information panels for :
GSAFE
COMSTAB
COUPLED

People don't know how to disable or enable them yet.

I'm sure there will be some changes. But I doubt we'll see a 180 degree course correction. I suspect this is a very good indicator of the nature of the beast.
I really hope that this will happen, otherwise SC will be a failure for me.
The danger was always that CR would pander to the masses. Here is evdience that he has. The only way the arcade tag will go away is if the RSI marketing machine supported by the 'fans' once again go into overdrive to reinvent the terms skill game and space sim, why? simply because they want the kudos of the real deal even though they have no appetite for it.
If have their way the arcade space shooter will become the new space sim, and the space sim will have to come up with some kind of new term for itself. Terms aside however I think it will remain a source of frustration for them that gamers will not be so easily fooled.
But still, he never fails to disappoint. I was bracing myself for less skill/more arcady but this is even more dumbed down than expected. My wings are blown off - and I'm racking up the kills. It's my first ever go and I haven't even bothered to plug my joystick in - and I'm racking up the kills. In comparison I remember having to replay ED missions again and again before I could kill just three enemies.

So far I'm not too overly impressed with the AC, to be fair I haven't spent many hours with it so far. It's certainly pretty, but it almost feels like trying to fly through jelly
I don't have enough time to work out and bind out all the systems to my stick though.
I'll have another go when I get back from work.

Still keenly waiting to get home and try it myself tonight, but I just remembered something interesting. The original Wing Commander game opened with a combat scenario being played by the player in a simulation/arcadegame that actively reflected what the "proper" combat in-game was like.
Played both.
In SC i have the feeling that I'm flying a paper plane.
In ED I have the feeling that my ship has a mass.
Sound in ED are much better, in SC there is not much of engine sound (except the system overheating).
Also in ED much better feeling of speed (boost also feels better).
Not a big fan of the HUD in SC and also don't like this 'point and shoot' thing.

I am re-downloading it. Then I will test X55.

I wouldn't get too jealous, the current OR support in Star Citizen is utter gash. Pretty much unusable.
