Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Can some explain that image salad I just watched?
Some say it is a game. Some say it is a scam. All we know is it’s called Star Citizen!

As an avid reader of Terry Pratchett, I do remember that. I don't have the foggiest idea what it is, though... :)

Think of it as basically similar to a traditional christmas pudding, but we get it all year round and it isn't usually set on fire, garnished with inedible toxic spiky greenery, or breaking teeth on a well-aged and incinerated crust.

I'll be making some this week :D (IF I can find even the most basic of ingredients in this pudding-forsaken land of exile)

Don't be at all surprised if it finds it's way into SC either as a tradeable item or a new sentient life form.

Because we are on the ED forum's thread talking about SC ?

And Cyberpunk :D

Speaking of which, to steal a very cromulent point from SA

You're also supposed to compare yourself to good things, not famously disastrous ones. Like, if you're an airplane manufacturer and you ever find yourself saying "well, compared to the Hindenburg...," then there is something seriously wrong.
 
Also some citizens really seem to struggle with following through on their logic.... or... i don't know, they are just fine with this.

They seem to acknowledge now (some of them at least) that SC won't be finished for a long long time, seem assured its going to be great (despite evidence to the contrary from other games that were a very long time in development), and that they will somehow still be in a state to play the game by the time it is released. I mean, some of the older backers probably should be getting a bit nervous by now.
 
paying a subscription for a buggy pre alpha tech demo is so dumb!
You talk about the EDO or SC alpha access ?


Well the EDO alpha doesn't have a subscription. It's got a one-off payment.

So clearly this was about SC. And the people who have hit $1k+ via subscription to some information videos, with bonus cosmetic gifts & ship access perks. Over the near-decade-long span of SC's alpha. On top of any jpegs / half-completed vehicles they may have directly purchased. And how utterly absurd that is.

Think it was pretty obvious really :unsure:

SC too. I've only paid one time less than 50€ since I play it.


Yes but it also has an optional subscription on top, which is what was being mocked. As well as macro-pre-purchases with a P2W lean, driven by MLM, 'gamified' upgrades, and in-game disadvantages. Which is what is mocked on a more casual and daily basis across the internet.

Honestly Ant, could you come up with a more weak sauce bit of whataboutery?

Ok Ant seems to want to compare SC with EDO, so I'll indulge. With a wonderful:


🎆 2021 Prediction 🎆

* EDO will come out. After a few months of launch issues it will be mainly playable. Some people will buy it and like it. It will do alright. ED will truck on pretty happily.

* SC will not come out. It will remain, on a technical stability front, a massive pile of jelly.


There we go :)

It's pretty out there, but I think I'm in with a shot...

Fixed that for you.
