Fair enough.

I remember one anon on /scg/ who didn't even know what CIGDF meant.

Anyone that has been on 4chan for a while know that the term "defense force" has been, or used to be, used very often on /v/ and /vg/. It just reaffirms my belief that most of /scg/ are just a bunch of faggots from r/starcitizen. They literally deserve to be shitposted until the end of days.
>>
Literally who gives a shit? Anybody with a grain of common sense never even looked at this as a game to play let alone fucking give money to. I could really care less about your buyer's remorse.

>>322214758
They'll patch it bro it's just an Alpha.
>>
>>322215865
It's out. This is the game. When I asked for a refund, they said no because "a substantial portion of the game has already been released"
>>
>>322216448

you have got to be kidding. theres no way lol
>>
>>322216448

This is why Derek Smart will continue to gain traction. When a game development studio considers a bare bones test bed as a "substantial portion of the game", it's a huge red flag to anyone outside their cult-like fanbase.

/scg/ is comprised of several groups that organize shitposts from steam chat. All /v/ threads on Star Citizen are created by those users for the purpose of shitposting. /scg/ literally stops moving when a new thread on /v/ appears. It's the worst general in /vg/ and only exists to fuel the circlejerk.

wat? are you serious?

LOL

But seriously, they shouldnt have offered early access. It plagues the developement since the devs are slaves to the backers and need to release new content quickly so as to not lose the interest.

I mean, I love the scope of the game, but my expectations are low. They focus too much on graphics and MMO aspects and too little on actual gameplay. I worry that it will end up like Elite Dangerous.

Ill wait until the game is out in 2035 and then maybe buy.
>>
cont. because I forgot.

My quuestion is, couldnt they just ask for less money and made Freelancer 2? I don't trust a new studio with that much money. yes, i know most of the devs are experienced, but they dont have the backing other AAA studios have.
>>
>>322220853
The backer community voted to expand the scope of the game into a MMO.
>>
>>322220971
Which is a problem I talked about. Backers shouldnt have that much say in the developement because they have no idea how making games works. They will run out of time and release a rushed version or, ironically, run out of money. You cant have everything in the game. I mean, I can count the instances in which more genres were mixed together on one hand. I dont believe the FPS part will be up to snuff.

I wanted Roberts' vision, not the "i want everything" "vision" of million people.

>>322221314
I think we should reserve judgement until something like 'running out of time' actually occurs.
>>
Other than the 30 FPS the game runs fine for me.

The PTU however is just a cluster fuck of CTD every 2 minutes, if you can even finish the loading screen.
>>
>>322221507
People can play one game only for so long before they get bored. The backers are already playing the game for a really long time and will get bored. What then? Who will hype the game pre-release?

To sustain hype, there needs to be a mystery to a game. If you release the versions along the developemnt, the hype dies.
>>
>>322220676
>I worry that it will end up like Elite Dangerous.

Elite Dangerous is an awesome Elite game, what's your problem with it? You have played the older Elite titles, right anon?
>>
>>322221961
I haven't. So it may be a good Elite game, but it isnt a good space game.

Speaking of, I havent played the game since a month after the release, I heard they added some stuff. Are there finally things to do? The basis of E:D is awesome, but its too shallow.

>It's the worst general in /vg/

Go on the main site and try your best. Post what you think you're going to buy. I guarantee toy won't have trouble.
>>
>>322224182
On site there is a text
>A Game Package is required to play Star Citizen.
So I just choose any from Game packages section and I am good to go? For example:

STAR CITIZEN STARTER for 36.30$ and am good to go?
>>
>>322224902
READ
It clearly says, "0 left". If there were some left, then yes, you would have been good to go. That package, however, does not include alpha access. If you go to the main site and click the MASSIVE, ORANGE "FLY NOW" then you will be taken to a page which shows you two starter packages that give you access to the alpha now, and the full singleplayer and multiplayer when released.
>>
>>322224902
Yeah as long as its a game PACKAGE then you should be fine. Chris "Jew" Roberts is going to split squad 42 and the multiplayer into two separate purchases. So buy now.

It was a limited offer at a discounted price.
>>322224902
Oh yeah, and if you want a bigger ship than what is included in the alpha packages, but don't want to buy two ships, here's what you do. Go to your profile and inventory. Click ship upgrades and upgrade your starter to whatever you want. It deducts the price of the starter from the upgraded ship purchase. Magic.

Are you in a country with VAT? The prices for the starters without it are $45.
