I hope it doesn’t inspire a book
I had a rat called Shevek. He was a reluctant leader in an anarchic rat colony who kept trying to get into the next room, so it turned out to be a good name choice.I hope it doesn’t inspire a book

Lol. He named a planet Reclamation. Thought that was great. Haha.
The issue isn't simply one of money (although that has a knock-on effect) but rather lost reputation & consumer confidence. That's what they need to "save".
I mean, I've bought every game FDev have ever made. That won't happen again... my wallet is firmly shut to them now. Shame, because I like F1, dinosaurs and Warhammer, but, oh well.
How many others are feeling the same?
My perception and guess is... quite a few.
Yup, after ED/EDO, I won’t even consider buying anything they make or even just publish. That bridge is definitely burned, and they will need to work very hard to rebuild it.
The total failure of EDO is one of the best things that's happened to me because it made me buy Star Citizen, I've been having a blast, exploring the verse which at the moment is an inch wide but a mile deep. There is so much to do, it ticks every box for me and runs better than Odyssey on my PC. I've totally bought in to the vision of Cloud Imperium Games, it's breathtakingly interesting, innovative and beautiful.
Her channel is awesome, I've really been enjoying it, I highly recommend it in fact.Best ignore her, she is only here to plug her channel. Its all a bit shameless, but I guess thats part of the trade.
Come back to me next year, when you realize what most of us, and her, already know.
Enjoy the Star Citizen honeymoon! Don't spend anything despite 'fully buying into the innovative vision of CIG' you can thank me later.
You need to buy a Javelin to understand the true depth the game can offer
If you have true faith you'd buy an Idris.You need to buy a Javelin to understand the true depth the game can offer
3000 dollars and I can provide a jpg of a python, if you are interested
Does it have limited lifetime insurance and the promise of nonexistent gameplay loops in nonexistent systems requiring nonexistent netcode?3000 dollars and I can provide a jpg of a python, if you are interested
If so, I am in! Nothing excites me more than overt horsecrap promises and insane p2w! Who cares for lootboxes when you can give thousands to Chris!
The “verse” relates to 10 years of development and 350 million dollars, in “elite” terms it looks like a system.
It's the core of Star Citizen. Invent a derivative term to hide the disappointing reality.
Their single system is the verse. Being able to save the game is persistence tech 1.0 and so forth.
Back in 2016 they stiffled dissent by announcing they had New Tech that allowed them to add a new planet in full detail in two weeks, and that "within weeks" SQ42 would be mostly done as some devs already played all levels.Fast forward half a decade: no release year for SQ42, three planets added, but "Stairs Tech Tier2" coming in Q4.
Lol if you fall for this.

I enjoyed Drew's first book, and the things I didn't like about his second book were not his fault.I hope it doesn’t inspire a book
I think with Star Citizen you have to look at how it is now and not what it was or might be in the future. Because, let's face it, you're not going to know if RSI/CIG are going to get anywhere close to what they promise. They've done good and bad things.
I've played it a wee bit over the past couple of weeks, and I have to say, it's not half bad. It's a lot more immersive than E: D, especially if you add Odyssey into the mix. The ship to foot to surface is damn near perfect. Gameplay wise, a lot of the basic gameplay loops are there, and you can generally find stuff to do.
Yep, only one system, but it's quite a big system, and there's a lot in it. I'm not done exploring it yet. Also, having everyone together in the same place can lead to a lot of fun emergent gameplay.
Still, for me, if you were looking for something as an alternative to E: D, I wouldn't recommend it. There's just not enough there yet, but what is there is very, very good IMO.

It's probably over half a billion now since that pledge number doesn't count the nearly $100M investment from Calder, subscription revenue, advertising revenue, and the money English taxpayers handed them yearly as an apology for having to work in England.
It's also a cult.
Do you think you could get all the exploration done by Tuesday as I’m getting a haircut?
Except there is no bgs, the flight model is terrible, ship customization is far worse, there are no aliens, only a handful of planets, even Sol in ED had literally an order of magnitude more mission types, gameplay loops are hidden behind $200 ships, zero VR support, both ship & legs AI is worse than a shovelware €2,99 Steam offer, fundamental techs required for sold gameplay loops aren't remotely on the horizon and literally and so forth.
New game honeymoons are great. Some genuinely cool space game alternatives exist. But SC is garbage, and if you were even 10% as critical of your new game your impressions would read quit differently.
