The game is playable now, although not perfect and not feature complete. The folks whining have not played it, no matter what they claim.

[-] FMT99@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago

I mean 10 years and 600m dollars later and still not feature complete, that's decent reason to "whine" I'd say.

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

No, it simply shows a lack of comprehension of what is being made.

[-] BluJay320 22 points 2 years ago

You gotta lay off the copium, dude… 600M and 12 years without a release anywhere in sight?? That’s just unforgivable. If anyone else did this, they’d be torn apart for it.

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

Star Citizen fans and their donators drink a gallon of copium every day just to survive. Sunken cost galaxy, indeed.

[-] kittenspronkles@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Lol, I spent 45$ on it and have gotten more time and fun from it than most $60 games.

I'm fine with continuing to wait. Quality takes time

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Oh noes, 45 bucks is such a horrible gamble!!! What shall I do????
I've more than enough hours already in game to make the amount I spent (including all I've gifted over the Years) considerably less than If I'd gone to one movie a week for each hour I've played.

[-] BluJay320 4 points 2 years ago

Okay? Good for you.

Still doesn’t change the fact that a 12 year old game should at the very least have a solid release date lmao

Once you get a job you'll be able to afford 45 bucks and stop coping yourself. I'm just sick of reading posts from people that saw some whine on youtube lie about the game.

> The highest budget ever for a video game
> 12 years of development
> Crowdfunding
> Microtransactions
> Still not enough money
> Still not complete

To you, I, by seeing that something is clearly wrong with this picture, am the one who is coping while you, who is vehemently denying what is right in front of you, is not?

Lol, okay buddy.

You must have rock bottom standards to not expect the most expensive game ever made to at the very least be feature complete after 12 years. And we are talking about a very healthy first here, development costs are more than twice as much as second place and growing every day.

[-] YMS@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

I don't see a reason why the most expensive game ever should have to be feature complete after 12 years.
But if this particular most expensive game ever was originally announced to be released in 2014, then postponed last minute a couple of times and subsequently split up into two games to allow an earlier release of parts of it...

[-] Nefyedardu@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There's plenty of multiplayer live service games that show how it should be done. Yeah sure, add microtransactions and content updates and whatever else but make sure that bare minimum standards are met with regards to the game itself. When I click "Play" in Apex Legends, I don't clip through the floor and explode because it's a feature complete game. Still live service, still getting improved every day, but feature complete. The base game actually working is not optional like in Star Citizen.

I played it this year, and it is totally shit, the features that are already in games don't work. Even comparing with other space games like elite dangerous that are way cheaper and already have a decent and less buggy gameplay loop

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

35 bucks is way more expensive is it? Proof that you have not played is that is.

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

35 bucks what? What is proof? And what is change?

I played enough to see an empty city that adds literally nothing to anything, with every single NPC standing still on a chair. I played enough to crash two times interacting with shit to just restart ON MY FUCKING ROOM, why there is a server if it is unable to keep your quest state is beyond my intelligence.

Furthermore, I played enough to see corpses around the abandoned world, adding nothing but noise to my immersion, dumber quests, simpler ship controllers and simpler planetary bases than Elite Dangerous. Also, maybe I didn't have played enough, but I had no SC player providing me with a decent endgame gameplay loop like ED, I don't know how a game this old and this expensive can have less endgame than an actual indie game.

Literally the one thing that it is better in SC than ED is the ability to move inside your ship, that is dope but is not worth the cheapest ship or worse, your time. And I'm writing this comments to other ppl, not you Tigris, you are beyond any rational discussion, you probably have spent too much on this game to admit to yourself it is crap. If you truly believe that the game is good you would just talk about what we are missing and not white knighting and gaslighting anyone that disagrees with you.

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Proof is last time I gifted a game. Starter ships right now are 45 bucks. But wait for the Thanksgiving sale and they are 35, or were last Year.

Sounds like you have not played in numerous Years. None of that is true recently.
If you want an active City play during fleet week.

But tell yourself whatever you like to feel better about it.

[-] orvorn@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago

Agreed - it's more fun to play than most of the major releases of the past few years.

[-] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

What's there to play and what's still coming?

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Given how great this year has been for games, I'm just going to press X to doubt.

[-] orvorn@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Baldurs Gate 3 is a masterpiece, GOTY for me so far, but every other game this year I would rank below Star Citizen for me personally. Starfield especially just makes me wish I was playing Star Citizen.

Nope. They are having no problem continuing funding.

[-] SuperSpecialNickname@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

That's why they aren't going to finish it. Why finish it when you can keep developing and keep extracting money from gullible fans.
