Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

I ve been passing the last hour or so on variozs 2077 streams and what I noticed is that its buggy state is alomost seen as confirmation for the validity of CIGs approach being the right one or the fact that 2077 being all buggy is a "given". But the hour so far (I know, not a good representation or statistical sample) have been bug-free and allowing for other things to grab my attention.

for example

  • the ridiculous good looks, provided at 60 frames putting SCs visuals to shame
  • NPC scripts actually working showing layers of complexity which SC is years away from
  • content that can be accessed and enjoyed without a paywall or going through a grind

So I would say....CIG....try to offer at least as much as 2077 does and people will be happy. Think you can do that CIG? Anytime in the next 10 years by chance? How many more millions will that cost? Can you even do it? Whats that?

....oh, its the deafening roar of silence.....
This is pretty sad. Why not play it?
 
Wait, why is Bob The Builder trying to fit the bathroom when the building's foundations haven't been placed?
No, see, that's the problem. You hired Bob the "I used to build amazing houses sometime back in the 90s who failed terribly trying to build the last several houses" Builder who is now Bob the Bus Driver, but wants to be Bob the Best Builder again. He promised you the best house -- the most perfect house, doing things that houses have never done before! -- at about a quarter of the price of other houses on the block and it will be built in half the time! It sounded pretty amazing, so you gave him a bunch of money and then more money and more, and years went by -- nearly a decade, wow! -- and Bob finally built something...

...a $5m mansion in the Palisades all for himself.

Eh, i watched streams of it as well. I might pick it up. But not a big fan of single player games. Just getting caught up in the hype.

You name a big single player game and I probably have not played it.
 
This is pretty sad. Why not play it?

Several reasons.

  • trying to figure out if its the right game for me
  • waiting for bugs and issues to be resolved
  • 60+$ is the top end of what I m willing to pay

So me watching streams doesnt mean I m not gonna play it. It allows me to compare SC and 2077 on the same level tho. Why exactly is that "sad"? I get why you posted this but do you even notice how sad it makes you in this scenario? When you dont have anything to post other than weak trolling attempts teasing and belittling people trying to provoke a trigger? I mean thats your agenda right? At least it looks like that from my point of view but I could be wrong. I mean you dont even try to hide it :)

I'm playing it tonight on a PS5, but honestly you're probably better off waiting until the first major patches roll out or even the first big DLC. CDPR's games on release are notoriously buggy but they do invest a ton of time fixing them and making major quality of life improvements. I don't have high hopes for the multiplayer portion of the game, but who doesn't want to get in on those sweet billions GTA Online brings in?
 
Honestly I want SQ42 to come out and be freakin' incredible so I can point to the guys at Turbulent and their Ubisoft hires and give 'em a big ol' thumbs up. Chris Roberts, of course, will get a wonderful "Special Thanks" in the credits, since he'll be gone by 2023 after co-starting another Kickstarter with Derek Smart, Lord British and some posts from Brad McQuaid that somehow became sentient and escaped the FoH forums.

I think its more the watching of a stream for an hour, rather than either playing the game or waiting for reviews/input from friends before doing so that's throwing him off.

It's a fair one, as the concept of stream watching is one I can't get my head around.

Either way, you do you.

That Kickstarter needs more Molyneaux in it to truly inspire fear.

No one needs to be concerned about anyone watching any streams. Is a pretty normal activity.

So same as Star Citizen than? Uh....have to wait for SC to release first tho before I can make that choice ^^

Huh okay, I do watch streams on various games so maybe I have a different view. Its not "watching other people play video games" because yeah, I pretty much dont get that either. So I watch a few World of Warships streamers because they are entertaining and listening to them is on the level of listening to radio to me. I can relate to what they say and understand what they are doing so theres a connection but I usually leave them in the background listening. Anyway thats for entertainment purposes. When I actually watch streams I do it to figure out something. I usually chose low pop streams because that allows me to get a question in thats actually gets answered too.

Looking for a review that gives me an impression/idea about a game. Watching a stream to get an impression/idea about the game. Why is one of these "okay" and the other "sad" when its the same exact thing? The stream option even allows me to ask questions of my own or address issues or topics the review doesnt go into. So me watching a stream for an hour makes me "sad" and all the people (thousands) who watch Star Citizen streams...they are not? Because.....I dont actually dont know why...you probably would be more qualified to answer that....or ArAsH.

Do you watch sport events? Does that make you "sad" because you could play soccer (or x) yourself? If the question was serious it boggles my mind as to the level of double standard demonstrated. Or the inability to think something to its logical conclusion before speaking (thats usually not a problem when posting). And if its a weak trigger attempt I guess I reacted accordingly :)

Obviously people paying thousands of dollars for pixel ships that might not even exist at this point is A-okay. Its peoples money and they can do whatever they want. But it seems I dont have the same right regarding my free time or choice of activity, got it :)
