Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Emotional and financial investment tends to make it difficult to make objective judgments, on anything, let alone something as subjective as having fun in a broken, janky, shell of a video game.
And a lot of time a game is fun because it's just fun, with no emotional or financial investement involved.
And the fact that SC is fun now despite it's broken state and being not completed should worry you if you expect the game to burst in flame.
 
And some people enjoy SC's alpha more than ED release. So ED is worse than a plank ? It's a good thing or not that SC is more fun than ED for some ? They are stupid ? Why are they not playing ED, it's a released product.
The difference is that aside from 1.5 million pounds back in 2012, ED is completely funded by Frontier Developments, from the sales of their products. They are not going to people nine years later, begging for free money, not having delivered a tithe of what they’d promised.

Star Citizen on the other hand has received nearly $400 million in crowdfunding, reached almost half a billion when combined with other income sources, and still doesn’t have a stable game engine capable of doing what they need it to do, finalized its networking infrastructure, has working AI, or even added most of its basic game loops.

Yes, people can have fun even with Star Citizen. I’ve seen people have fun with styrofoam packing. That doesn’t change the fact that Chris Roberts has frittered away 90% of the money he promised he would be a good steward of, while pocketing the rest for his clan.

I don't give a flying cow's p00p shute what happens to it. I get kicks out of laughing at the people spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on one man's retirement fund while making excuses for their behaviour and deluding themselves that they are not invested, financially or emotionally 😅
 
Because those employees are all occupied to other stuff ? You can check what they do on the roadmap.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

Now, look at the roadmap and ask yourself, considering what is the roadmap, of course with due consideration some will be working on stuff that won't be appearing in any upcoming patches, is that really enough work for 400... 500... 600 people?

Look at the output, compare with the team size... it just doesn't add up.

Why would that correlate? Guys here who expect the game to 'burst into flames' are normally thinking about continued technical dysfunction, and/or collapse due to managerial ineptitude. Players could have all the fun they want during that, but it wouldn’t change it ;)
 
Mole's cows aren't stupid. Here is the evidence...

On wishlist. All these Sony exclusives on PC are yummy.
I've been playing it for the last few hours...stonkingly good game all round. That's two cracking Sony exclusives to come over to PC since last year (I'm deliberately ignoring Kojima's asthmatic staggering simulator)...Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite between the two :)

Hi @Mole HD, how is your better half doing in her recovery, have you managed to get her back on your fair isle and watching the cows?
She's still in hospital 200 miles away on the mainland... recovering slowly. Hopefully to the point where they'll move her to the local hospital in Kirkwall sometime soon. She no longer needs intensive care so they've moved her to a high dependency unit for the time being. She's got a long way to go before she can leave hospital as the damage to her internal organs wrought by the sepsis was not only severe but life changing...a long road, but we're getting there one step at a time :)
