Did anybody play this garbage when it was Free on the weekend?
Holy fuck, people actually spent money on this?

I did, it was boring as fuck. The game is going to be a disaster, clunky controls, boring content etc.
They tried to do too much and in turn they barely were able to get the basics down

Uwot? The game was trash, it's due next year and the state it's in is laughable
I didn't even know this game was still alive. I hope it does alright, honestly. I always wanted a game similar to EVE but way less autistic.
>>320117536
Trying really hard here OP, just admit it. It's fine if you hate the game.
Mediocre game. Cool idea, dogfights are decent but everything else is clunky as fuck and flat out boring. What are they even going for with those side missions?

The current map is likely not even going to be in the final game. It's more of a test of mechanics.

I love how people in this thread are acting like the game is even anywhere close to finished.
It's in alpha, not even beta. The amount of content and shit that has been added to the game consistently is extremely impressive.
People don't actually think this game will be 'great' right? When the fuck has a game ever lived up to the hype, from what I played it was 'meh', just uininteresting and when you can make a space sim uninteresting you know it's a disaster.
It's just a jerk off fest to all those "COOL SPACE SHIPS BRO". The gameplay itself is boring
>>320118140
I backed in 2012 for 45$ haven't spent a dime more. Nice mem though. At no point has CIG begged for more money, or even required any pay more for content. People buying ships are doing so because they want to support the game. All ships are available without spending any real currency.
>>320118198
Who gives a fuck, we can only judge what's there and given the budget / time / 2016 release date, so far it's a joke.
>those Witcher 3 POI tier side missions
>that clunky as fuck movement/FPS controls
>that empty world with literal jack shit to do
The fact that the only decent thing so far is the space flight itself and even that is 'alright' is worrying to say the least. I know this time people have their own stake with the game via kikestarter donations but buyers remorse won't change the way the game looks in its current state. When it releases it's going to get 7 reviews at best and ultimately be forgotten in a matter of months.
I can't count the amount of "So er, what do you guys wanna do now" comments I saw in the chat when I booted up the game this weekend. All people do is "chill in each others ships" and fly around aimlessly. I felt ripped off and I haven't even donated anything
>>320118341
It's just a scam, you fucking imbecile, they spend their time making videos to show "gameplay" when it's just pretend so they can get more money. They'll abandon the game once there is no more money coming in.
>>320118220
Again, the parts of the game that are being TESTED right now are not representative of the final product. It's like if you ate a bunch of raw pepperoni, cheese, and guzzled some cold pizza sauce then complained it wasnt anything like a pizza. The game isn't done yet, no one is claiming it is.
They fucked up. Either they give bonuses to people who backed certain amounts and then the game becomes P2Win or they give jack shit and there will be a lot of salty backers mad that they haven't got anything special.
The business whole model is a flaw
>>320118163

>>320118386
>>320118424
You people are morons. Here's your (you)

>>320118432
> right now are not representative of the final product.
And again that's all I have to WORK WITH right now faggot. I'm not gonna say the game is GOAT with their empty promises, so far what i've played was laughable to say the least. The game is going to be a buggy mess, they tried to do way to much and failed to get even the basics down.
>>320118163
>The current map is likely not even going to be in the final game. It's more of a test of mechanics.
You mean they created assets to make nice promotional videos? How could it be?
Some beta got me a $80 package or something, with the gladius, is it? I'm also citizen number xxx since I signed up early on for it, I grew up playing space sims.
A poster earlier on nailed it though, it's too big for its boots, all of the basics are done badly. It's clunky, some things are very detailed and others not at all, and it's made to shill hardware when I just wanted a good game.
You don't have to model every truss, bolt and raised stain on a surface to make it AAAA+, you just have to make a good game, chris.
But I didn't pay for it sooooo
>>320118481
Not really, it's pretty smart. They're mostly getting the production tools ready and streamlined. The entirety of the 2.0 mini universe map was done in roughly a week since they've been prototyping all of those things on different maps already.
>>320118498
>mfw people start suing CIG for their money back when the game turns out to be a bloated unfinished mess when it releases in 2025
I've backed the game really early (my account ID is in the 6XX) for 40 bucks and I really like what I'm seeing. They deliver hugely on the technical side of things (extremely fun flight model that's skill based, multicrew ships, separate physics grid), the game looks beautiful already despite animations and planets being placeholder.

There's already more to do than in Elite (I wish I could refund that POS game you anti-sc cunts shilled) despite only having 0.5 star system.

How can you say they're empty promises WHEN THE GAME ISN'T DONE. You're the idiot, nothing has been promised to be GOAT NOW. They're testing the game incrementally you fucking idiot.
>>320118556
How does that make sense if you can play the map right now? It's meant for actually playtesting to see if things work or not. For example, the scale is 1:1 but they're not sure if they want to compress it or not. This is also a test for the mobiglas system regarding quest tracking. The asteroid map is to see how many asteroids they can fit in there. Stuff like that, but it'd be a long post to list everything.
>>320118701
Completely different anon here but usually by the time a game company gives players hands on experience with a game it will take a fucking long ass time before they will implement any real changes since the whole point of having betas or alphas with players is to just tweak stuff they have already implemented based on player feedback.
>>320118701
>How can you say they're empty promises WHEN THE GAME ISN'T DONE.
Because so far what they have shown is abysmal. This is the Witcher 3 downgrade all over again
>THE GAME ISN'T DOWNGRADED FAGGOT
>Downgrade confirmed
>WELL THEY NEVER SHOWED THE GAME LOOKING LIKE THAT, WHAT WE SAW IS WHAT WE GET
It's what you faggots get for trusting some developers. The budget the game has and given what they have shown is laughable. Flat out fucking laughable. Bugs aside the mechanics themselves are laughable. Movement is janky, FPS gameplay is horrible, they managed to make space boring and the flight controls are 'meh' at best.
It's a disappointment waiting to happen. It has all the markings of one. Just look at how defensive you're getitng over me voicing my opinion of the games current state. I can't judge how the game WILL be, only how it currently is and the way it is currently is looking like a big joke.
Seriously, I was laughing with my friend when we logged in to play this weekend and to think people have spent over $20,000 on this piece of empty promises truly brings a tear of joy to my eye

I can easily spend 6 hours playing battlecruiser millennium, a terrible space sim. Now I've never played star citizen, but I know it can't be as shitty as THAT.
teenagers need to shut the fuck up, you wouldn't play a space sim in the first place anyway, just like the SJW's and their progressive fucking games.
Even though I would be shocked if it was a good game but everyone here actually wishes it will be good once it comes out, right? I mean if it actually did fulfill the promises that it made (it probably won't) then it would be a good game as far as I can tell. I mean none of you actively want it to fail just out of spite, right anon?

Win win situation for me mate
The 'show what we have as we go' model has utterly fucked this game over
They should have taken the money and then just gone to ground and not release any betas/alphas or tests.
Entire game feels clunky as shit, particularly movement.

Yeah it looks a bit like Aeon but it's still human architecture. They've actually compiled 900 years of fictive architectural styles following major events between 2015 and the in-game 2977 year. Things like a dictatorship taking over the whole empire, encountering alien races, reactions etc.

What is the main aim of this game? The dogfights are pretty decent I guess, FPS combat was a sloth to control and boring and the locations were pretty boring also. What is there to do?
This just seems like a case of developers trying to cram as much shit as they can into their game and call it a day.

Fly around and shit. Nobody who hasn't backed the game honestly thinks the game will be anything more than an overglorified space sim. Don't buy into the buyers remorse shills. The game will be just that, flying around in space aimlessly doing the odd mundane task. See Elite Dangerous

There have been playable versions of the game for years. Who ever said it didn't exist? It being a bloated piece of boring shit is the reality though.
What do you honestly think the game will be? So far after years and millions of dollars of funds we've been given a mediocre space sim with the most clunky as fuck mechanics i've ever seen.
It's dead on arrival.
I just hope it'll be a comfy space flight playground with some PvP opportunities here and there and more stuff to do than in E:D and I'll be satisfied with my $60 pledge.
Star Citizen is the perfect example of what happens when idea guys get put in charge with no leash on them.
Holy shit talk about a project with no concept of constraint. This is worse than the original Fable, atleast that game came out.

This.
After questioning some of these people I learned what the source of their obsession is. I wrote a few paragraphs deconstructing them, but essentially it's this:
There are a lot of people on /v/ who are very poor. They have very little spending money and rely mostly on pirating, Steam sales, and F2P games to get by. When they buy a "new" game at full price it's a big event in their life.
Star Citizen is out of their range. They hate the idea that other people are able to simply donate over $100, and in some cases thousands. Getting the most out of the game requires a very high-end PC; most of these people have quite old PCs, laptops, or are still console plebs, and building a $1500 computer is out of their range.
They generally don't like to see things succeed because they have personally not succeeded in life. To see other things torn down is cathartic for them. And the bigger something is the harder they want to see it fall.
It is almost entirely bitter poorfags who hate this game.
>>320120406

>>320120014
>early alpha
How can you be in early alpha 4 years after development started? How is that in any shape or form early.
Yeah it looks good, but there is an outstanding lack of content with no proper direction or development path, at an alarmingly late stage in development considering the game is to be released 2016/17.
Not saying it's vaporware, but it's not far from it. Inches above a tech demo is all it is, portfolio work, just like overgrowth. Just because you can play and it exists doesn't mean it will fulfill its scope.

Even if you (dishonestly) start counting development the second they showed up with their kickstarter and grand total of 7 team members (as opposed to the current 300+), it's never been 4 years.
>>320120729
And what's wrong about the post? See: >>320120210
There have always been playable segments, the thing that people are calling vapoware are the initial cliams of all the promises they have made. So far we've been given a borderline unplayable 2.0 Alpha with the most clunky controls/gameplay i've ever seen and a complete absence of any worthwhile content aside from flying around despite the game due to release in 2016.
So did they figure out how to make a crosshair work in their FPS engine yet? I hear that getting the crosshair to stay in the center of the screen was causing some problems for their people who they got from Crytek who work on the engine.
>>320118576
>Not really, it's pretty smart.
I disagree. They are building everything in chunks instead of foundation up. Teams are finish graphics on certain assets before certain core mechanics are even in the testing phase. So you have an early product that looks nice but plays inconsistent. I've seen people approach space games far differently then what they are doing.

>>320121150
It's not really shit. At the moment it's not complete, so obviously tons of content are lacking. But the devs are extremely open with the process and talk directly to players on Discord/the official forums so we get to see the "behind the scene" stuff that's less polished than, say, an E3 prerendered trailer. So tons of people on /v/ think it's Molyneux 2.0 when in reality, the game would barely be announced by now.
>>320120842
>>320120886
When the kickstarter was started they already had working demos of the game.
Okay, so you push it back to 2012. Three years, that is NOT early alpha, it's just not possible to still call it early, and it shouldn't even be an alpha at all at this point.
Three years into the development cycle majority of the game should already be done, even for large scope triple A games, and especially with the team size of Star Citizen.
And yet here you are, with the >>320119596 video where you walk around cool looking shit and do nothing at all, just like one of those Unreal tech demos. Every other demo they showcased had very little to it - fly into this station, turn on the power, fly back out to base, have some clunky shooting. Where's the massive game that was promised?

Kek, three years into development is usually when AAA games that aren't CoD or AssCreed rehashes start to think about announcing development.
>>320121148
Because it will be

Because so far what we've been given is a bland as fuck space simulator with refinements in areas that don't matter (pointless A list voice acting) rather than spicing up the repetitive side content or laughably tacked on FPS gameplay.
Best post in thread nailed it.

Right now about 30 GB. They expect the full release build to be >100 GB. Never ever on consoles, too much CPU & GPU stuff going on (procedural damage model, separate physics grids, very high detail textures and models etc.)

Prototype != game.

You mean like Assassin's Creed?
Not to mention you can summarise literally every game like that. Let me summarise E:D

>land sometimes
This is a finished game.
>>320121516
How bad is FPS gameplay? They can't fuck that up, can they?
>>320121450
Yeah that's what I'm doing, just stated why some people are mad about it
>>320121663
Right now it's pretty bad but it's placeholder default cryengine stuff.
They go for an unified FPS/3rd person camera like in ArmA so it feels clunky at the moment. Until they're done processing the mocap and procedural animation transitions, it feels really weird.
>>320121663
It tracks ammo in mags individually, features mag repocketing and your character even checks the mag if you don't have any other with more ammo and simply reinserts it. It's already exceeded my expectations.
>>320121663
Play the alpha and you'll see. They've had months to tweak it but it's fucking embarrassing.
When I saw them showing A list celebrities at their Citizencon bullshit I knew then that the game is going to be a bust. It shows a lack of direction and them feeling the need to namedrop some big stars to make up for the completely abysmal content they've got so far
>>320117230
>Alpha = Full Release
>Beta = Free Play Weekend
>>320121663
The guns feel and look great but the camera is really janky because the FPS camera is exactly where the player's eyes are. So of course it doesn't go really well with default cryengine animations so they have to make a new animation set for FPS combat. Until then, it feels definitely off.
My friend paid for my package and even then I felt bad that he had to pay for it.
>>320121150
They released an alpha for it that by all accounts they shouldn't have released when they did, but they needed some hype so they could sell ships during their big annual sales periods to people desperate to live out their space-dreams as a space-trucker.
Their only source of regular income comes from selling spaceships to people. Many of the things they sell aren't even in the game or an implemented feature yet and won't be for a long time. If they don't sell ships the money could dry up because they've opened like five studios all over the world built two mocap studios, hired hollywood actors for a single player game mode.
So the big issue is they released an Alpha which has very little to do except blow up one another's ships. There's a lot of people who have sunk a lot of money into the game screaming like stuck pigs about "griefing" on their official forums and the horrific possibility their 900 real world dollar defenseless science/hospital spaceship might get blown up.
$70 backer here.
Spent the money a year ago, the more i've played the more worried I get. Lets just say that. I've got the feeling that the game will be one of those games that tries to do everything but fails to do the simplest of things
>>320121387
I'm not as invested into this game so no, I don't care. I do really want it to succeed, but I don't have any faith.
If it doesn't, it's not as big of a deal, it was just ahead of its time and there are going to be others.
>>320121797
I blame Minecraft.
Alpha = holy shit it actually compiles and runs at more than 10 fps
Beta = It crashes a fuckton still but at least we have a lot of stuff working
Nowadays Alpha = launch and Beta = post launch content (in the mind of clueless people)
>>320121856
A friend of mine offered me elder's scroll online. I know how you feel.
Reminder that Star Citizen is a scam
>>320121918
>simplest of things
This. Why big devs always overlooked simple and basic elements? They could fucked up really bad. Why they don't improve the basic elements first then dump the content afterwards?
>>320122170
>yfw this is literally what they're doing with this 2.0 test map but for some reason nobody gets this
>>320122170
>Why they don't improve the basic elements first then dump the content afterwards?
But that's what they're doing, Anon. They released a build with basic gameplay elements working (FPS combat, ship flight, multicrew mechanics, EVA) but very little content (6 copy pasted stations, one repair station and one derelict station)
>>320121918
Calling bullshit.
If you really played the PTU builds/Alpha 2.0, you can't possibly say it doesn't look impressive as fuck.
I'm 90% sure you're just false flagging.
>>320120659
That's not the motivation. My only uncertainty about the game is if they will try to release it "on time" and unfinished, or develop it until it's actually ready.
The reason I took some time to learn what the source of the shitposting is is because I wanted the people to be introspective for a bit. In the original thread where I discovered this it brought out some emotional reactions because the people it was directed at actually felt like poor and dejected losers.
Smart folk dropped $500 on SC, then in case that goes belly up they also bought a solid $450 Xenos pack for Eternal Crusade.
Stay poor faggots. That being said if there are actually people who dropped money on SC that weren't prepared/are able to lose that much without a second thought then they do deserve ridicule for not being sensible with their income.
>>320122308
>>320122253
Yes, and the test build showed just how off the gameplay itself really is despite being less than a year from the claimed release.
What have they promised for content?
I used to say Scam Citizen, spent $110ish a while ago, after seeing PTU. The mechanics are there, if they can make this buggy piece of shit to this current state, they can come up with something very very interesting in 2 years.
>tfw CIG was 10 people at the start?
>tfw no console or publisher agreements holding back
>tfw all ships as detailed as Normandy
>tfw not p2w
Fuck it, if they flesh out make multicrew side properly Ill be happy to fuck around the verse. If not, oh well Ill get to play a mediocre single player pewpew game along with a weird multiplay sim.
Either it is going to to take fuckton of time, or they will deliver.
>>320122425
I like how obvious it is to spot you, who've been samefagging nearly half the posts here. Just so you know, the release date you saw in the fancy trailer you watched is for Squadron 42, not Star Citizen. Keep it in mind for further shitposting.
>>320122308
I just want to know why the animations still look like shit.
>>320122425
The thing is they have no publisher. They have no release deadline. Remember how the end of Dark Souls was rushed?
As far as content goes, the game will launch with 100+ star systems, so potentially hundreds of landing locations and probably at least as many deep space locations. Atmospheric flight is not promised but might be in if they manage to polish their procedural generation tech enough.
>>320122371
What's impressive? The game had zero content that wasn't rehashed, the ships were decent to fly at best and everything else was clunky as fuck.
How can you call any of it impressive? I've spent 70 bucks a year ago, that's nothing. Stop being some buyers remorse faggot
>>320122541
Mocap data is still being processed, the animations look like ass and they're very well aware of it. The new animations that already made it in the game look fine.

You didn't make any. Anyone can say the gameplay of X game is shit. All you've been doing this thread is post reaction images.
>>320122828
If you wanted to ask what activities are there, then you should have asked more clearly. There will be bounty hunting, piracy (boarding, smuggling, assassinations), being a space trucker, exploration (derelict shipwrecks, stations, finding new jump points, new species), mercenary work, soldiering and racing.
>>320122982
>racing
The only recent racing video I've seen is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-30UOYtwHEs and it looks like shit
>>320122716
ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
>>320122982
Any gameplay of these in action? Is there a stealth mechanic?
>>320123082
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop
Is Scam Citizen the game where some autists have paid $1000 to buy a ship in a game that doesn't exist yet?
>>320123162
>Is there a stealth mechanic?
Yeah. Not optical stealths (but good luck visually noticing a ship at more than 500m in pitch black space) but heat/electromagnetic emissions can be tuned and WILL make you stealthy or noticed on enemy sensors.
>Any gameplay of these in action?
As of right now, there is only footage of piracy, flight combat, racing, space trucking and exploring shipwrecks.
>>320123082
>>320123053
Watched the video. Looks great.
>>320123162
Game is being made, how the fuck can you expect to play? Jesus all these sweaty palms, with juvenile pimpled cheeks seeking for that nextgen twitch shooter.
Stealth is visual, and engine/shield signature based. It lowers the locking range for missiles and making your ship harder to shoot manually.
In theory, turn your engine off, and you are a ghost, a space debris.
>>320123396
>piracy, flight combat, racing, space trucking and exploring shipwrecks.
Gonna need links and I meant stealth as in boarding the ships.
>>320121013
>The game is going to bomb so hard
No not really, because 'I don't like MMOs or simulators' isn't an actual argument for the game being bad.
>>320123648
Boarding isn't yet implemented.
>flight combat racing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dai5WBZwtD0
Space trucking isn't really in yet but some autistic people can do it if they're dedicated enough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JefpItmHgg
>exploring shipwrecks
https://youtu.be/7rfX4cJmjXo?t=329
I tried it. I couldn't get the ship to leave the hangar, I was supposed to float around or some shit and lost all controls
>>320119982
At that point he should have just made Starlancer
I think the budget and scope would have made it a great game
If you can play Arma, you are golden in SC.
>>320123932
The fuck is space trucking
>>320121273
I think you're used to games nowadays where all the development time is just spent on creating content and there is zero technical challenges to solves or anything remotely ambitious.
Compare it to the development of something like Half Life 2 or most MMOs and it's pretty normal.
>tfw friend wouldn't stop talking about SC
>Spend $45 on it to make him shut up
>now he wants to play the nonexistent game
fuck.
>>320124083
my favourite part of arma is how it controls in tight spaces, like a space station or ship interior!
>>320124118
Carrying an item valued for some amount, and dropping it off to somewhere else, selling it at a higher price.
Trading motherfucker, do you even live in this world?
>>320122828
Well most of the games that you spend all the time shitposting about how they're failures turn out very successful, so Star Citizen should be ok
>>320125073
Christ, this is some new form of dedication to shit.
>>320125073
If that Anon died right now, the only contribution he'd have brought to the world would be this.
I think we need to reflect on this.
>>320120724
This game will likely take around 7 years to be complete. Near the beginning they tried to outsource a lot of development to third parties and the resulting work was of piss poor quality forcing them to redo a lot of things themselves.
They are getting better and more efficient in how they handle tasks now however and what they have accomplished is pretty impressive on a technical standpoint (crews in ships moving around at high speed in erratic paths while not getting desynched).
Main concern would ordinarily be the project running out of money before it is complete but given the amount of idiots willing to buy numerous ships for several hundred dollars a piece I wouldn't worry about that too much.
>>320125073
Well, I realy feel sorry that he has real autism behaviour.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR3YMVw4wLU
I thought it was pretty fun but according to anon "it doesn't exist" or "it's shit". Oh well.
