Star Citizen has a disastrously laggy stream with horrendous vibes, which isn't a great look when you're past $1 billion in funding (www.pcgamer.com)

As someone that has wasted 100s of hours into Star Citizen I don't think I ever really liked that game as much as I convinced myself I did. Turns out I liked the game only because of what I thought the game could be instead of what it actually was. All my friends are trying to get me back into it but I just can't do it anymore. I probably only ever enjoyed 10% of my total playtime on that game as the other 90% was spent fighting the gargantuan technical issues, performance issues, game breaking bugs, and general jank. The game is all vibe and promises without an actual fun experience underneath.

I never played Star Citizen, but this is kinda where I ended up with No Man's Sky. I played it at launch and again earlier this year and there's definitely some fun to be had but nothing fits together right, or feels fully realized. NMS lost a coherent vision of the game at some point and eventually it just made me itch to play better games that were more focused.

If that's your opinion on No Man's Sky than I don't think you should ever play Star Citizen. I've played both a bunch yet with No Man's Sky I've at least actually had fun even though they both suffer similar issues. Star Citizen barely even functions as a game at this point.

The original Arena Commander was fun until they gave into the "muh HOTAS" crowd and nerfed the actually fun combat mechanics.
