This is the New Truth: only idiots, Smarties and people with no clue about game development expected to see Sq42 at Gamescon because any fule kno's Gamescon is about SC and Citizencon is about Sq42 - so it shall be, so it is, and so it has always been - ALWAYS I TELL YOU ALWAYS.
Which is, of course, madness. I see no reason to contest this at all, just let them at it and see what turns up at Citizencon. If, as seems 100% likely, it's not about Sq42 then maybe some of their faux authority will crumble.
The SRV looks so much cooler than that vehicle.
At least they've put a decent windscreen on it unlike a lot of their spaceships which have horrendous fields of view with additional view-blocking struts just in case you want to see where you're going.
Looks like the driver there has just been told he's going to have to board the Idris, and he can't get his seat belt off.
This. They will give out refunds no questions asked. Just provide them with all your account details and request a full refund. They don't take super long to process it either. CIGs change of Terms of Service that said you couldn't get a refund was overturned by officials (aka the government - I think it was in the US? I don't have a source sorry). So basically, it was overridden.
5 years of development (1 year, sorry. It took them 4 years to settle down building offices and manpower) and $158M...
And just take a look at these beautiful smiles on their website...
One does not simply make the BDSSE.
I do like the idea of that facerig software but I think the novelty would wear off pretty quickly. It has no place in SQ42 whatsoever, unless they are developing co-op functionality, so aimed squarely at those that wish to gurn at random people on the Internet as well as friends. But once you've done that a few times that $200 facecam you bought is a bit of a white elephant.
CR said as much in his recent interview. The guy asked why they didn't just work on 1.0 release (finished game) and Croberts said something like "If you back SC now you can download 2.6.3" so the game is released already. Not a pre-alpha. "We give you whatever we have as soon as it's ready" not exactly quoting but you see the false equivalence happening
And that is why they cannot release it, despite hinting that its coming soon. Imagine if the community got its hands on that and experienced that sort of jankiness? Not to mention the detractors, they would have a field day making videos of this sort of stuff happening.
Either its "we give you whatever we have as soon as its ready" or "I will never hesitate to delay content if I feel its not good enough". Cant have it both. To be clear I am with you on the "as soon as its ready" thats why I believe that CiG has nothing. They showed us all they got and they blew their chance, dropped their pants in full public view and got laughed off the stage.
What if you're right? What if part of the delay is motion-capturing all their employees to use in-game as NPCs and utilising fidelicious levels of FOIP in the process with which to woo the whales?
This project is so I wouldn't put it past Chris "Don't Show the Loading Screen" Roberts to insist that each and every NPC is hand-crafted in the likeness of a CIG employee.
Dunno... I saw them blow up real easy during the demo. I'd advise buying two, just in case...

I haven't beeen following SC for several months now and want to get a quick update as the state of the game. This time, I would like to bypass the marketing, the total fan boy reviews and the complete hater reviews and find a review/writeup that is truly objective. Rep for commanders who succeed in directing me to objective sources of an SC update!
Since I'm contemplating finally buying into the SC game world in a small way. I'll also give rep for constructive suggestions on what ship package might be best and why. I'll probably buy in with a package which entitles me to SQ42 if/when I do.
Thanks

A tall order there, Chief.
Game is still in alpha. 2.6.3 is the public build.
2.7 was morphed into 3.0, some of which was demoed at Gamescom
Latest possible but don't hold them to it completion date for 3.0 is October, right around Citizencon
Fans see steady improvements, Detractors can't stop laughing
Everyone gets an Idris! (Sorry went all Oprah there for a moment...)
An objective source? You must be new...
This sums it up quite nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBxMPqxJGqI
Genuinely zero progress.
3.0 demo at gamescon appeared to be just a single planet with no way to leave or visit others, October release date.
Buy the absolute minimum package to reduce sunk cost fallacy - or just wait and see what happens which is even better advice. Current expected release according to the fans is 2022
An objective source? You must be new...
No. Just hopeful!
+rep for the MP LOL+Rep for the very nice summary!

You guys were so quick to respond that you caught me while editing. Here's my second question:
