Why do you think SC will still fail?
Sure 2.0 has come out.
Sure many building blocks for most of the games core features have been created and released.
Sure transitions from space flight to planetary flight as well as purchasing items in shops will come soon.
And sure there's been work on optimizations on all levels.
Why I personally think it'll still fail is a very small issue that will no doubt bring the game down within a month of its actual release. And this is collision issues.
If you've tried landing, maneuvering within tight areas or anything in between, it's either been some invisible entity barreling into you or attached to something else which is animated and eventually fucks your shit up. That, and landing on ANYTHING is and always has been a glitchy mess unto itself. Once your ship contacts anything, it starts slow at first, sputtering and jerking, moving in a circle in small increments until it either falls off a pad into space or collides with something else and gets damaged or destroyed.
Nothing's ever been done about this. Ever. It makes me think there's no solution for it and it will start being recognized by everyone to be just an ongoing trouble which will be touched on here and there, only to be either drowned out by other issues or new content. Diehard idiots of the game will continue to think nothing of it, while people who want a stable game will get shamed for posting about it on the forums. Sort of like Arma 3s issue with horrible fucking FPS drops during multiplayer.
I wish all the best to the game and hope it's dealt with. But I honestly see this otherwise small issue being the game's downfall. Until it's absolutely taken care of, I can't see any other outcome.

And the community portion of CIG is a fucking joke to boot. You'd expect that with all the money they've made, you'd see a way high quality production and smooth techniques for their streaming and audio management.

I can maneuver in tight quarters just fine. Try using autoland if you're too incompetent to do it manually.

It has a ton of technical hurdles they've yet to address in Q and A, or mention unprompted. Most of these come in to play because of the MMO Aspect of the game. This game really would have worked well as single player, but I think it'll be hamstrung in what it could have done because of the technical aspects and gameplay nature of a MMO.
But no one is worrying about that, because they need to justify their expenditures on the game, and Chris Roberts will keep releasing regularly scheduled pre-baked in-engine trailers till they run out of money.
If this game had just been Squadron 42, with a single player, open-ended, freelancer style post-game with all the other ships and mining, and trading, it'd be fantastic. However they went too far, and it's going to fail.

Seem's a bit too ambitious really. One thing you can bank on is that if devs are promising the world then you know they're bullshitting.
ALSO OFFTOPIC: I got Elite: Dangerous a couple of weeks ago and found it immediately boring. I've done nothing but rind on it thus far. Can anyone tell me if it actually get's good at any point?
If the "2.0" update or whatever is needed to set the "main foundations" of the game down, you already know the game is fucked
>>320448837

The tech demos don't matter. They can keep coming up with in-game things that look pretty and neat to their sheep.
But like i said in the original post, the actual downfall of the game is the inability to stop ships from being obstructed/destroyed by invisible geometry or simply landing on FUCKING ANYTHING which makes your ships jump around, get damaged or just jitters about, small movements at a time.
i am a monument to all of your sins
>>320452982
You should find something more casual. I think No Man's Sky might be up your ally.
>>320451265
I want this game to be a success but have they said if there will be purchases that you need to make with real money once it gets released. In eve its plex. If so thats kind of a deal breaker especially since it was completely funded by people that dont expect a penny of returns. there is literally no reason to jew people out of money once its released.
>>320453139
Does that ship attach to it's rear?
I really want this game to do good. We need a good space sim game. It's got impractical ambitions but I really would want a game to achieve what this company promises.
I'm not touching it until its finished, more or less. I never touch early access games.
Even if this game flops. I do love their ship designs.
>>320453139
THE LANDING GEARS ACTUALLY FUCKING RETRACTED.
IT GLITCHED ITSELF TO BEING ALMOST AIRBORNE.
HORRY SHET.
>>320453269
Pay once and you'll never have to pay again.
Thought the 2nd addition of Squadron 42 might be a secondary purchase.
>>320453272
It does, yeah. In the model it's actually set in the bigger ships rear docking compartment for specifically that smaller ship.
But you can't undock from it yet.
Since it's been released.
For SO FUCKING LONG NOW.
this game will be your tomb
>>320453415
so you cant run out of insurance? like if you get blown up too many times or someone steals your ship too often would you have to pay real money to not have to start over?
>>320453609why did this give me a boner
So I take it now for the most part this game needs content? Hope it doesn't follow the path of some mmo's and such that lacked it on release.
>>320453186
>Paying for insurance in a video game is FUN and IMMERSIVE!
>Filthy casuals, not spending hundreds on your virtual ships.
>>320453609
Seriously fuck this game.
>>320453645
There's in-game curencies that allow you to pay off insurances. But Newly released CONCEPTUAL ships are solf with LTI or "lifetime insurance." Which means if you've bought the concept ship (ship that hasn't even been fucking designed in the game yet) then you'll never have to pay for insurance once it does get into the game.
>>320453718fidelity
Does anybody know if Star Citizen will have drivable space bulldozers like the Wing Commander movie?
>>320453840
Continuation of previous post*
But before every concept sale, someone in the player community or an official of CIG states "No one HAS to buy these ships. They will all be able to be obtained in-game."
Which they will. But who they fuck wouldn't buy them just to never have to pay insurance on them?
>>320453965
Did they put a fucking filter on your screen in-game? Looks complete shit.
>>320453965
>Then you realize it's only a linear hallway with just you there
Game's going to be great, amirite?
>>320454078
what I'm bummed about is this is an mmo. I dont like mmo's for many reasons but the main one is I have to rely on other people and they have to rely on me. Also you need to use mouse to be able to compete.
>>320455001
>Need to use a mouse to play the game.
>PC game.
k
>>320455001
You could always just stick to the single-player stuff and host your own server to dick around in. Sure, you won't get all the server-side shit they want to run, but at least you can do stuff without giving a shit about other people.
Another option would just be to stick to areas where the PvP slider will put you up against NPCs only.
>>320455185
I cant use my flightstick is what I mean. not a proper space sim.
>>320455303
>I cant use my flightstick is what I mean
Reasons? Pretty sure they're using RawInput for flight controls.
>>320455303
Literally all flightsim peripherals are supported.
>>320455412
>>320455416
I said to compete it doesnt have turret control.
>>320455650
Surely you could bind turret controls to a hat or something?
Joystick control is fine. It's a little worse for precision aiming with gimbaled weapons, but better for flight control, and the way the hardpoint system works means that there is typically a tradeoff for gimbaling a gun.
If using a stick, make sure ESP is enabled. Also, don't be a shitty dad who is bad at games.

I was thinking mouse and half of a hotas system might be feasible. Gunna have to try it learning how to use the mouse with my left hand is going to be tough though.
>>320457102
I need one. No, an army of them. They will be great for harvesting Osoan meat.

Here's Chris Robberts attempting to play the game for almost nineteen minutes.
>>320459328
What about a second, smaller flight stick? If you have a HOTAS setup, the smaller stick would be great for controlling turrets. Just whack it between the stick and throttle and set it up to control the turrets.
>>320459824
thats an interesting concept. like one of those finger controlled ones.
>>320459991
Yup. I know that the Saitek stuff comes with more hats than a TF2 thread, so anyone using that could set up a hat to control turrets. A stick would give more fluid movement, but I guess make do with what you can get.
>>320460150
I have thrustmaster and its hat is more like a dpad.
>>320460150
I was thinking more like this
>>320461151
That could very well work.
