But I like biscuits.
Now, where did I leave my reading glasses? I need to buy a wookie onesy and the internet is open.
Remember to post pics with you in the onesie!

This thread is interesting, cool to see how more and more backers continue realizing that CIG over promising is bonkers. Nothing new for many of us here, but funny nonetheless when it is even CIG who can’t even help slipping the truth out there.

Question and Answer has me Worried for the First Time - Star Citizen Spectrum
I watched a Q and A with the teams and they brought up the Polaris. The answer actually bothered me about the game as a whole. It was stated it would take Half the Manchester I believe office 12...

Jabba, the Hutt-onesie for you, then. It's what necromancers get.
My reason for moving from SC to ED was because CIG didn’t deliver the game I was promised, when I was promised it, while ED did. But then again, I could say the same about SC and Space Engineers, and SC and Empyrion Galactic Survival. I say could, but IIRC I originally backed SE around 2013, and only rediscovered it later. I did use part of my SC refund to buy a couple cosmetic packs, though, because Keen delivered a good game (though with crap official servers if I’m in the rare mood for multiplayer).
I also consider EGS more of a replacement for how disappointed I was about NMS, which was purchased with part of my SC refund. Neither SC nor ED scratch the “living off the land” aspect I consider an essential aspect of exploration, and SC has only a single system, let alone more procedurally generated systems than I could explore in a lifetime.
What I find most amusing of all is that a tiny development team managed to deliver a game with on tiny budget , Stonehearth, managed to deliver SC’s “subsumtion AI” with the added bonus of simulated emotional reactions, and the ability to not only navigate complex and changing environments, but construct them as well.
When I look at Star Citizen, I see a game:
- where all the aspects of the game, both placeholder and undelivered, have been done, and done well, by half a dozen games in my Steam library... for less than a percentage of SC's budget.
- that, similar to No Man's Sky, should be right up my alley, being a fan of space games, but isn't because some of the game development choices aren't respectful of my time, and what the game brings to the table is neither unique enough, nor done well enough, to play regardless of those flaws.
- which has raised nearly half a billion dollars, most of it through crowdfunding, where the principle creative, and his friend and family, is, in an utterly unethical and contemptuously corrupt manner, enriching themselves to the tune of tens of millions of dollars of unearned wealth.
But at least Star Citizen looks pretty. For a game from 2012...
Nah, the big streamers are getting comedy clicks just fine without me
I am here for the real connoisseurs though
Like, where else can you see a man fight with a water bottle for a minute before finally dehydrating to death? It's a thing of wonder...

Glorious. Random deaths. Unable to save self from death. Janky physics. Insane survival mechanics. And when there is another player around who could save you, they can't actually save you.
Outstanding stuff. Well worth half a billion dollars.
We can then post it next to bunny man.

Typical response.
By this logic no game in development ever needs to put a release label on a game.
And someone tries to retcon history
They were immediately shot down by people posting the actual quotes. However, to be fair, it does say "by release", and if SC never releases they never have to make 100 systems! Checkmate!

LOL. Remember when SC backers would say "At least CIG will produce a quality released product unlike a certain other space game"
Ah, good times. Good times.
If only we could go back in time and let those poor innocent fools know what was going to happen in the future.
Way to dodge what actually happened, which was CR promised a bunch of stuff, backers funded it, and CR promised it would all be delivered in just a couple of years.
Perhaps if CIG had focused on delivering that content first, then it would have let everyone know if CIG were capable of delivering on it, and if they did, then they could have asked for more funding for more stuff... or, you know, actually invest money earned from sales back into the project to make the new stuff... i know, call me old fashioned, better to beg for money so you can fail without risking anything yourself.
CIG enter the fray...
That could be read as admitting there are questionable business practices being leveraged. They just don't want them being talked about

It's the backer's fault for being frauded.
No, it impedes the sales of items that will never be shipped. Aka: The fraud must go on.CIG enter the fray...

What gets me in Star Citizen is that standing still I get a solid 60 FPS, but the instant I start moving, their engine struggles maintain a solid 30 FPS. When you consider how much time is spent standing around waiting…
Last time i tried, i got 20 FPS, standing still, staring at a blank wall.
Pretty sure that's the SC experience anyway
