[Update: Invictus Week, test ships for free! So this why there is sudden coverage] Star Citizen: The Best game Ever

Invictus week

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Original post:

Quite a hilarious video by Youtube channel Techlinked regarding the state of Star Citizen. I have forgotten all about the game but as usual the game somehow able to stay in the minds of gamers with unexpected coverages.

Surprisingly (for me at least), star citizen actually now have playable demos where players now able to ride spaceship and just gawk at scenery, brilliant news for donators. Hmm, I am very sure you can do that in many other games but, congratulations?

*For those who don't know, Star Citizen is ongoing crowd funded game (reaching over $360m as now) funded by PC beggars. Apparently Hermits much rather funds a now decade old vaporware than buys video game. No wonder they can get pretty cranky when engaged.

Is it out yet?

Oh look, another Youtuber with an opinion.

Anyway, It's pretty amazing even in it's alpha state, and frankly runs circles around most AAA releases despite being unfinished. I've played more Star Citizen and had more fun with it this week than I have with, for example, Days Gone.

In many ways, I'd rather see projects like Star Citizen take their sweet time than see 10 garbage AAA releases. It's an independently-developed game partially funded by a community of passionate gamers that want a serious space sim; I find it admirable, and while still in alpha, the tech and gameplay is simply stunning.

I do wish they'd release it but as it is right now, I have way too many games to play. I can take my time. And for the record, it's only cost me 40 dollars so far. Not everyone spends 2000 dollars on their PC, not everyone that plays SC spends 10,000 dollars on ships.

Well, I said my piece...preparing for accusations of fanboy beggar race in 3....2....1....

Spell check:

Star Citizen: The Best Scam Ever

Spot on, the game somehow will pop up in your youtube feed eventually even if you have no interest in it. So many coverage for a game not even in Beta, just let them finish something then talk.

It' always blows my mind that people still stick up for this scam, pathetic.

Mr Roberts isn't in prison? Damn, probably should be.

Other than saying at the start the game would release in about 5 years. Have they given another release date? It's a solid question of when. I think the backers deserve to have an idea. Even a timeline of what stages of Alpha and Beta they are in, have they even given that?

This 100%. Iv gotten more hours out of SC in its alpha state than most AAA games today. It already has more going for it than most space sims ever made, I haven't had as much fun in a space sim since X3 and SC keeps getting better. £35 it cost me, that's less than $50 for both SC and SQ42 and have an early adopter gold ticket account to boot.

Ah the crazy amounts of money people will pay for a scam is just....typical.

As I said several years ago, I'll check it out when it's done, whenever / if that ever happens.

I'm interested in a huge space sim (though not a lot, I must admit). But I have zero interest in giving someone money for an unfinished product with no end in sight.

I think it's pretty cool that you can kickstart such a project and make it a reality. But I personally want no part of it. If that means we'll never see a game like Star Citizen, so be it. I'd rather have a AAA studio do something like that, so we know we'll have a finished game at some point.

Actually, **** kickstarter altoghether. I never have and never will support it. Can't afford making a game? Then don't. Stop begging me for money.

The best game ever made, just as soon as it's released in 300 years.

Dang, someone needs to build a Time Machine.

I remember how the Herms were bragging about this game years ago. Lmao, just comes to show the state of PC gaming these days.. "ooh, I can play console games at a higher setting!"

Just play Elite: Dangerous. Silly goose.

@pelvist: interesting, what you do in Star Citizen alpha? Care to enlighten us?

I could enlighten you though i doubt it would make much of a difference. You've been spewing the3 same scam citizen crap for long enough now I doubt ill change that. You're only interested in it failing. Go watch some more videos if you're really interested (we both know you're not).

Unfortunately that is also the usual response by the defenders. Genuinely curious.

No Man's Sky is pretty good game now Cup. I put Elite: Dangerous first and No Man's Sky seconds IMO.

Yesterday I made some cargo runs. I felt like relaxing so I just put on a podcast and flew my Freelancer (basically a modest "space truck") around and did some contracted cargo runs for an hour or so.

This morning I raided a drug manufacturing operation. Hopped in to my Sabre and flew to a moon orbiting one of the main larger planets. On the way I equipped my heavy armor, SMG, sniper rifle, and some grenades. I orbited the base and took out a couple turrets before landing. I hopped out of my ship and then went into the base and down the cargo elevator. Once inside I took out the enemies and blew up all the drugs.

And of course it is Invictus Week, aka "Fleet Week", so they have all the ships available to try out for free. In fact I think you can install the game for free and give it a try yourself if you want :D

Both good games. E:D just came out with an expansion that lets you get out on foot, it is pretty cool. Still not as fun as Star Citizen (for me at least), but it is a finished game at least and still very good.

X4 is also pretty fun, but has a very steep learning curve and is quite quirky. But it's still pretty great.

Does anyone play EVE Online? I'm looking for a new MMO and this one looks kind of good. I'm curious how it has changed because I tried it out for a few days like ten years ago.

scale=/good game.

technically it's impressive, but this doesnt mean the gameplay is solid scale has nothing to do with the actual gameplay mechanics.

In the spirit of this game, you just need to build a spaceship and travel close to lightspeed so that time dilates.

LOL. its a game that doesnot exist is better than most games today? make sense. not

Haters gonna hate. Jelly gonna be jelly (maybe raspberry?)

What about if in 300 years, they send two copies toward each other at just over half the speed of light. Got to be peanuts by then, right? Their relative speeds exceed light on collision and bam, time dilates and davillain gets to play SC.

We should probably leave them a note or something.

@mrbojangles25: it's basically an overpriced fetch quest game.

LOL. you keep saying it "doesnot" exist yet its still being played by many people, makes sense. not

only failures want others to fail

u said everything i wanted to say. i do enjoy the game even with not playing all the time

haha

Isn't every game, by whatever logic you're using?

• Doom? Fetch the keys, move to next area.
• Days Gone? Fetch supplies, heal your "brother", fetch more supplies, repair your bike, etc.
• Cyberpunk? Fetch hacking stuff, fetch kidnapped person, fetch money....repeat.
• God of War? Fetch your "boy", throw axe, fetch your axe, throw axe, fetch your axe,, throw axe, fetch your axe...

Now, I would never be so cynical because I'm not a petty little twerp and I want to look at things for their good qualities and not just their bad ones, but if you want to that's fine with me.

Nobody is playing this game. and will never. its just pre alpha version and this game will always remain in pre alpha.

actual game star citizen or SQ42 donot exist. its fake game. its scam.

@mrbojangles25: except I don't have to pay thousands upon thousands to play the games. And I wouldn't call smash bros fetch quest.

Do you ever confuse yourself or does it all make sense in your head?

Oh noes ... hermits are leaving the cave to defend the biggest scam in gaming !!!

Who is paying thousands?

I paid 40.

It's not a cave, it's a basement in my mom's house renovated into a bedroom/gaming den.

Oh I forgot to add to my other post, idiots gonna idiot.

I have never played it, but have seen hours of gameplay vids. I love how seamless everything is, from ship interiors to planet surface, space, etc.

I really hope 9th gen consoles end up getting a version once/if it gets released. A console version would be a day one to me.

@pelvist: wake me up when it actually release. Its mid of 2021 and its still in pre alpha. Will always remain in pre alpha because game is not in development. Its not exist.

It's never releasing. Some people are in denial.

Apparently game is actually playable and you can meet people now. Shocking.

I am super excited to play this when it comes out in a year or two......

.......is what I said 10 years ago when it was shown off.

Now, it looks cooler......but I don't care.

That $1000 ship has sailed

So everyone who wanted the Nazis to lose were chumps?

That's a very extreme view to take, but ok.

sigh, figured someone would go there.

That backfired on you. Would you like some ointment?

what I said still stands. nothing backfired. some whack ass side curve doesnt change it.
