Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

A cool mission I haven't seen yet....
Why did CIG say that SQ42 would be in beta by third quarter 2020, then go silent on it for a LONG time, and now show a roadmap with its development going into 2022? Why didn't they tell us earlier about the changed schedule?

The answer of course is that Chris Roberts is running a scam. For some reason you ignore all that and just post promotional videos.

If anything else I would expect a rational person claiming to have experience with this company to take away from this that you simply cannot believe a single word coming from CiG these days. The best you can hope for are half-truths and double meaning but never the actual truth

there’s such a desperation in journalism to just go low
This article is basically a straight recap of Star Citizen’s public statements about this news, followed by some Wikipedia-style facts about the game’s ongoing fundraising successes. A plain reading will find no commentary of any kind.

If you think that makes the project look bad, well, I don’t know what to tell you…

One of the comments that struck me the most because its true. Many articles have dropped the Star Citizen pitfall alltogether or stay away from opinions or analytics because its such a hot topic. If all you do is report what CIG says quote by quote you should be fine right? But as was mentioned all too often the facts alone are damning already and tell an ugly story already so if you dont use justification and distraction in the same breath you are already bashing the project (in the eyes of the cultists). No doubt that the simple facts dont touch most of the hardcores anymore because they either dont hear it or have a list of reasons at hand to excuse or justify anything and everything instantly. I guess the only thing that will be able to convince the un-conditioned today are results and it looks like we have to wait till 2023 at the very least to get any (SQ42 rumored but its coming from CIG so make it 2025+)
 

A pretty good view of what people think of it outside of those who are following it with interest.

Of course, some backers will say people don't understand, they are just repeating what they have heard on the internet. Like you have to have read and watched everything CIG have ever put out just to form an opinon.

I don't know if SQ42 is a scam or not. I don't talk about it because I have absolutely no info that you don't know already.
I only know that the alpha of SC give me a lot of fun despite its bugs. So I just talk about a game I like in a thread about it.
You are very found of all the bugs and missed deadlines of SC, I'm very found of all the nice things of SC. You and me are just talking about what we love in SC....
 
Someone complains about server stability


White knights start with the ITS ALPHA narrative, someone correctly reminds them about CR's recent statement.

... The single biggest takeaway for 2020 is that as we shifted towards a “Playable Now” narrative and delivered more features and content, alongside a greater emphasis on quality of life and performance, we found ourselves drawing more and more new gamers into our universe and reactivating more old backers to return to check out our progress...
Yes OP, he says there are problems and it's not where they want to be, but it is more of a priority now than it was. And you people in the replies, stop beating OP over the head with your alpha sticks, CIG is switching to a playable now narrative. No more "you're not playing a game you're testing an alpha." Don't argue with me about it, I'm just telling you what CR said. If you don't agree it's playable now, you'll have to take it up with him.

A thread on a smiliar topic


They refer to CR's statement, top reply is...

They always advertised it as an alpha you can play now. They still tell you at every step of the way during the pledge process that the game is still in alpha.

Its like they totally choose to ignore CR when his statements don't match their personal reality.

And some funny comments here


The progress tracker isn't a release schedule.
Unless it's on the "release view", just treat it as something they plan to work on at some point.

Hahahahahaaaaa..... my sides. But its true as well. They spent a year making a roadmap that isn't a roadmap.


People seem to be avoiding mentioning Elite... i wonder why.

But someone is brave enough to mention they are looking forward to Elite


They initially posted in the general forums and mods moved it. They got salty about that, created a thread about it, and i guess it won't be long before the mods slap them.
Of course, there are the expected replies.

And nope, Elite Dangerous' new expansion will be crap just like everything else they have done. Promise the world and delivery a fraction of it or just half ass it. It will also more than likely delayed by several months.

This... from a Star Citizen backer, is just delicious.

Another golden quote

The trailers are the first things I'd point at to question its eventual quality.
E:D has a history of misrepresenting the game in their trailers to make it look far more exciting than it actually is, yet with accurately representing the game thrown completely out the window, that's the absolute most exciting they could possibly make it? SC's trailers look WAY better.

And CIG have never ever done anything like that! /s

Fangirl Boo posts this

Which i find really relevant.

But no, another fanboy is there to say..

sorry 'BOO' that doesn't work in an open game development like we have.

Yup, showing people results doesn't work in open development like SC has.

Really, you'd struggle to even pretend to be as broke brained as some of these people are.

Ah. And I thought you were fabulating about fictitious stuff you pull from some dark, dank place and make it appear it's true and almost ready. Stuff that was disproven time and again and just made you look dishonest and then you go and conveniently claim it's just a language thing.

So what do you think about my two last ingame videos ? You need to disprove something in it ? They are fictitious stuff ? Perhaps I've mispelled 'torpedo' or 'mission'...
 
Bringing back the topic of CI¬G's incompetent artistry a while back as far as being clueless about how to draw guns.

Here's a neat new video on greebling done right:

Guy A : SC is a scam with no gameplay.
Guy B : post videos of gameplay made by players.
Guy A : why did you post promotional video ?
Why is it that you are so pathologically incapable of actually addressing the points people really make, and always need to conjure up something never said and try (and fail) to respond to that instead?
