I have the demo...I've played with other people, multi-crew and whatnot. I've also followed communication from CIG/RSI up until about a year ago. Only checking in on major patches and trying it out in AC/PU.
For the time and the promises that have gone by I'm pretty underwhelmed by what has been delivered.
More specifically, I'm alarmed by the sweeping scope changes and am concerned with the clear signs of mismanagement. I've seen software projects crumble under "visionary" directors that seemed to just always say what the stakeholders wanted to hear. The similarities from my experience and what we've heard about the development of SC aren't undeniably damning but they do highlight significant risks to success.
The fact that leadership doesn't address these risks, at least not publicly, puts a lot of strain on what little trust I have left.
just like ED, star citizen a year ago is a completely different game than what it is today. I ignore the drama and just enjoy the game. Maybe Chris Roberts can pull it off, maybe he won't. But the game- especially since the last 2.6 release.. is just a fun game in its own right. I respect that the rumor mill may impact your ability to enjoy it... I just don't let it bother me, and judge the game on its own.
If I listened to half the crap people spew about ED, I'd never play this game either. I just don't let the haters impact my enjoyment of either game

*Pfft!*
Can you discuss the game that is Star Citizen, rather than trying to derail the thread with the tele-evangilist impersonation?
And I can guarantee you, I will be rather, um, bored out of my mind if and when I try Star Citizen's PTU again (oh there's a secret, I HAVE played SC... and I didn't like it! Sorry to bust your bubble mate).
So don't go getting your hopes up that I'll suddenly be "swayed" by your attempts at (desperate) persuasion, I'm not interested in the slightest.
Thanks for wasting your time and providing me with a weeks' worth of hilarity though.
I have been discussing the game. when I did, you called me a liar. I called you out on it, and offered to let you try the game for yourself, at no risk. You keep twisting this into something it's not-- SC vs. ED. IT's not. This thread is supposed to be discussing "other" games that we enjoy.. which I'm doing. It's not supposed to be a thread about SC hate. And, FYI, I enjoy both games.
Anyway, I'm not the one that is getting overly passionate here-- you're projecting. SC is just a game.. it's a good game, not a great game. I think you'd like it, but, whatever, don't take me up on it. If SC dies tomorrow, I'll find somethign else to play.
Just like ED is just a game-- it's a good game, not a great game. it has its flaws, but I like it. neither game are good enough to lose as much perspective over as you have ... I've been bored out of my mind by the E
grind, but I put it down, come back after a few months, and I enjoy it.
And I certainly wouldn't get all emotional on someone in the SC forums for talking about the positives of ED in a forum that is designed to discuss the positives of other games.
But, whatever. Hide behind the hate. Don't take me up on my offer. You don't know what you're missing. I'll see you around the verse. OR maybe on the horizen (if you see a decked out 'conda, you'll know it's me.)
