This has got to be told so maybe the developers might get something from this.
see i'm not really interested in spaceship simulator, now playing the game i regret not doing so earlier but the whole reason why i decided to get this is really in two parts: Business and Gameplay
When looking at the business model of Star Citizen one thinks to himself "what the hell are you thinking" now see the problem isn't that some of the ships literally cost 300$(i lied it is a problem) but the true problem is that you have to pay insurance for the ship in the game to actually keep it, lets take moment to indulge this...you pay, lets say, for a ship that costs 80$ like the aurora i believe, you go fly it around abit and after thinking to yourself "i just spent 80$ on a digital ship" you then come across a NPC with a pirating habit, you get in a firefight with said NPC and then you get your ship destroyed, but oh shucks you forgot and/or didn't pay for life insurance. you know what that means? YOU LOST YOUR DIGITAL 80$ SHIP FOREVER!!!! and insurance for your ship literally means "paying money to keep your money" - really think about that. this is real money not "in game made credits" these are credits bought in real life.
now no one who plays this and loses a ship will never want to play the game ever again after losing 80$....this is the same way eve died out. and was dead to most people. except that hardcore fans.
i do not have a problem spending good amount of money on a game I spent 60$ on max payne 3 and i played it for 4 hours, i was happy with it. now ive already spent at least 30 hours on this beta and damn happy for it. i will literally spend 300$ on it if they included at least 2 full sized hand crafted detailed cities and procedural generation like settlements on other planets. simply said if i can spend hours and hours just on the city doing stuff there like exploring and other activities. i will literally never leave the game. thus 300$ is nothing. since ive spent at least 60$ on 10 games and spent all together 15 hours on 7 of them.......
Gameplay: now i'm not going to judge atm the alpha of SC. but i will judge what they have told us. they won't i repeat wont have actually planet landings they will have isolated landings on planets and have mass effect like places to vist. meaning only a few rooms. or a small area with a backdrop of a city. this does not constitute as a "GTA" in space. the sec i heard that there will be planet landings and cities and everything that SC has but better (basically) i bought the game. then i told my friends about this. they bought the game.
GTA in space is a wetdream for everyone who ever watched star wars, star trek, firefly/ serenity.
anyone else want to chime in on why they love ED more?
