Star Citizen/Squadron 42 will be a success story.

You can get one cheaper, or for the standard price both.

Well then the only thing that's left is to wait for them to be released.

Why are you copy-pasting a question that doesn't even make sense following my statement?

Time to take a breath and re-think your spiel.

How do you know? It was announced in 2014 didn't mean the work was begin after the announcement. Probably the same time when Star Citizen was gone into production in 2013.

Crackdown has a tentative 2018 release date, where as SC doesn't have one.

And still don't have a release date while delayed multiple times. Oh and Crackdown is a run of the mill PS2 looking and performing game, such a shame MS couldn't get it out while SC is the most ambitious game to date.

MS didn't decide to do a "side" game to cover up the fact the original game should have been released by now, and to scam more money out of people.

Yup, they didn't. They actually cancelled their 'side' games. And SC was always meant to be two games, didn't know where you get your side game idea.

Crackdown doesn't have 3 teams working on the game.

Of course not. It's an open secret MS doesn't care about games or at least good games.

Crackdown doesn't have a budget of over 175 million.

See the above point.

Yeah its shit that Crackdown 3 hasn't released yet, but at least I didn't back it and have been waiting over 5yrs to get what I paid for LOL.

that shows your lack of faith in MS. Don't know about you but people have been hearing about Crackdown for 4 years now while nothing to show for it. So which is a bigger embarrassment an indie game or one backed by one of the wealthiest companies on earth?

This guy Chris Robert's could sell his pubes on Kickstart and these chumps would still support this game. It's a scam. Smoke and mirrors.

@GarGx1: So what you’re saying is this is less COD in space and more Rust in space. Punishing mechanics that drive players and money right out of the game...

Rust is cancer, it was NEVER a good game.

I think a better comparison would be "Arma in space mixed with Elite Dangerous with an open sandbox/economy/reputation system".

Or hell, if they can get it all working... MMO GTA in space... practically.... (But more realistic combat/sim like features... as apposed to arcadey nonsense".

I don't think many people understand the scope of this game. A new ship is finished for 3.1 called the Aegis Reclaimer:

• A giant Salvaging ship.
• 5 Floors
• 150m long
• wing/landing mechanics are huge and work properly.
• Damage states (yea you can blow that thing apart and disable it
• Interactive elements (each bit inside, you have to do the job of a salvager).
• Interior damage states (burst pipes, alarms, fires etc)

The game is a space sim first and foremost. nothing on ANY DEVICE even comes close to what this game is trying to do. and that is why its now on $180 million despite being nothing more than a "Tech Demo".

Because it's a special kinda "Tech Demo". Its not a 10 hour game on a flashy engine in genres that are so ancient now they are just easy choices to get money out of people. This is a big ass risk. It is what Destiny was original "eluded to" before it turned into Halo meets Borerlands.... because those AAA developers could;t do it... or thier publishers didn't want the risk.

Yes this game might fail, but f*ck me you gotta respect the effort put into it, and that is just one ship!:

The Reclaimer is looking good and a lot bigger than I was expecting.. Boarding and capturing one of these is going to be interesting.

Let's hope you are right this time, and that the people did their research...Not wanting this game to fail, in all honesty, and any game in general.

I hope you're right. Squadron 42 will likely release in the next few years, and probably be pretty awesome, but I have less confidence in Star Citizen proper.

Yeah would like them (CIG) to disappear somewhere for a year and just wrap everything up.

Really, really looking forward to this game like no other; I believe it will change not just space sims, but gaming in general as new benchmark in open-world design, player choice, and technical capabilities.

But my god it seems to be suffering from feature creep. Just wish they'd take what they have now, which is substantial, and finish the game. We don't need any more more new ships.

I view this (and crowdfunding, early release) as an investment or gamble, not a scam. Nothing was or is guaranteed, all you can do is weigh your options, risks, and so forth and hope you made a good choice until it pays off.

A scam? I don't think so.

The one thing Chris Roberts is truly known for is abandoning projects.

How? Other than Freelancer which was almost finished, and was eventually released (and still feels like a great game), which projects did he abandon?

It will be the game that will launch PC gaming to new heights. Just like what Sea of thieves did for Xbox1.... wait what....LOL

Why the hell are they creating 2 different games? Jesus, this is a milk product if there ever was one.

Clearly can't read.

thats kickstarter for you. a guys cannot make one game at time but making 2 games simultanously lol.

system shock remake cancelled because of they get more money and to take into different direction but it need bigger budget.

Star citizen is never coming out.

Any closer to being finished? No? Okay.

I'ts already successful (for them). Successful for you, the player, is no longer necessary. It's optional.

So what's the reason it's not coming out now? Not enough in game footage again?

Until it releases, I'll continue to get visions of Battlecruiser 3000AD.

The state of star citizen fanboys..

By the time this releases we all gonna have Nvidia 3080 TI

or maybe Browns will win the Super Bowl

Seriously, are you really comparing a Derek Smart "game" to Star Citizen?

I'm sure you know this but he's idiot narcissist that appointed himself the leader of the Star Citizen hate campaign due to his burning jealousy of Chris Roberts' past and present successes.

Haters can keep hating. No amount of salt will stop these two games form being GOAT.
