Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Its funny, because in ED turret gameplay is derided, while in SC land its "solid" gameplay.
Genuine question :
Have you tried a combat with a full crew in a Hammerhead in 3.11 ?
Or tried to mine with other guys in a Mole in 3.11?
Those gameplays have improved recently and if you have tried the game before 3.10, you should find them more appealing now.

LOL, I couldn't even get out of the star port last free fly. And previous free fly i tried, back when we started at Port O, gave up after hitting too many bugs as well. Spending any time longer trying to multicrew would have been an exercise in frustration. As i also noted, i'm not usually able to coordinate my play time with others.

But you're not really addressing the points i'm making. What is there to do as a turret person except to wait for something to do and then aim and press a button? What exactly have CIG done to make that waiting and button presing more appealing? I'm struggling to envision it.

That secret entrance? Well, apparently there are entrances to the hidden area all over the ship, none of which are secret or require any sort of puzzle.

Imagine my disappointment when I went over to Spectrum to check on what the Citizens think of ED being free to download next week. Not a mention.
:(

Other games barely exist for many backers. Some seem to do their best to acknowledge any other games made in the last 20 years unless it had a very long development time, in which case they like to use them to make SC look less bad.

Yes I noticed that one about Cyberpunk started by that horrible piece of work. Maybe one of the backers on this thread could give it a mention? I don't want to read the thread just for the salty reactions, honest ;)

There's little point in starting a perpetually circular argument on there...I reposted this from reddit...it got deleted and I received the usual 24 hour ban for off topic :D

Star Citizen backers reaction to CP2077 fans dismay when the latest delay was announced...

I’m a SC backer, like some here might know 😁
People like to exaggerate on both sides of the spectrum. I don’t know if I really understand your question here (language barrier) but ok, let’s give it a mention. Shout out to cdpr!!! My only concern is if I will buy it for pc, so I can play it on tv with the shield and switch to the pc when the misses wants to watch tv or if I should buy it for ps5. Decisions decisions 🙂

what was thereal question?

I was only wondering why there was no mention in the Spectrum Other Games thread of ED being free to download next week.

If SC was just another MMO, it could've shown each user it's own version of content in the hidden area, so it would work.
Gamey, but working.
Alas, SC "is not an MMO", and inventory is physicalized, so it can't do that.

The solution? Items 3.0 of course! CI-G will spend another couple of years making inventory hyper-physicalized, so it's can be different for various players just sometimes. Apply "Never been done before" liberally.
 
I think there are two main competing forces. IMHO, Chris is running a confidence scam so if the backer confidence falls low enough CIG will run out of money and it will end. On the other hand, Star Citizen now looks good enough in Twitch streams to attract new backers.

The question at the moment is who the scamees are because frankly I cannot believe that a group of whales can reliably pump out the amount of money we are seeing and if that would be the case there would be no need for investors. So with investors on board we need to think about where the lions share comes from that keeps Star Citizen afloat. If its backers great....continue as long as needed but if its investors.....gig is running on he clock. I think backers are merely the icing on top anymore, easy to squeeze and top the nougat jar but apart from the coockie money....not much more to get from that side of the equation.

You know the feeling of being dumb waiting for your bus longer than if you walked back home by yourself? After few hours of waiting, if you start walking it'll make you even more stupid so you keep staying at the bus stop. :)

Citizens are waiting at the bus stop since almost half a decade now.

I await the day Fritz writes a post longer than a forum page and breaks the internet.

Stop giving me goals.....


Either ED players are much more jaundiced than SC players or SC players are mainly stuck in their own heads fantasizing about something that isn't particularly compelling.

Even more weird because its not 2 groups of people but the same people who think the exact same thing in SC is awesome but sucks in ED. Always impressed what kind of a difference nice graphics can make...visual quality improves everything. Potential, complexity, available fun to be had, developer honesty, overall quality...why has nobody else in the industry picked up on that yet?

Ci¬G always release a ship when the funds start to look poor on the quarterly spreadsheet...the Mercury Star runner will boost the sales figures a bit...except for the fact that most folk who would be likely to want one already paid for it back in February. Like most things SC, the Mercury release is simply reduced to relieving the technical debt a fraction :)

Like most backers who haven't spend any new cash whatsoever with Ci¬G for quite some considerable time... regardless what's on offer, if I really felt the need for another utterly purposeless spaceship, I'd just melt something else in my hangar just as equally purposeless to get it.

My guess is that most people there already have ED? I don’t know. You can always post it yourself if it bothers you that much.
