Why does /v/ want this game to fail
/v/ does because it's crowd funded and that gets everyone triggered.
Gluttonous hog of a game, promised everything to everyone. Will probably under deliver on a majority of its claims.
>>342170894
People have gotten so used to having games cut content left and right that anything that is designing a full experience is now seen as "promising everything"
Holy fuck gaming is ded.

>>342172496
But the game is still in developmen.
>>342172496
Everyone knows they hired hundreds of the top names in game development and opened multiple studios around the world just so they could perpetrate a vaporware scam.
Right guys?

>multiple studios
You realize they're closing studios, right?
>>342173842
everyone also knows that those top names have one by one left the company and been replaced by interns, hacks and deviant art furries.
Because they're selling microtransaction stuff for tens of thousands of dollars
>>342174320
Which studios?
>>342174412
Anything past $60 is a donation :^)
Now that Something Awful's been kicked out of EVE Online, are they all going to migrate to Star Citizen?
>>342175187
I don't follow drama too well, but I thought they all hated Star Citizen.
>>342174113
>there

kek indeed.
It's already failing. They had to skip E3 to save the embarrasment.
>>342173842
It's not a scam but a glorious example of mismanagement. Like Freelancer, but this time there's no Microsoft the save the game.

I have no interest in playing it so the only joy I will derive from the game is watching it fail and the butthurt from people who have spent hundreds to thousands of dollars on it.
Power of 4 (?) studios, 250+ employees, 115 miilion dollars and 4 years.
Here's the product they offer. They managed to break Cryengine 3 even with the power of magical Germans.
Before you say it's alpha, that's the problem, folks.
>>342176260
i do its litterelly this game kek
shoud half bean out year's ago but their just take money to note make game lol
I just want to laugh at my friend for spending $500+ on virtual spaceships.
It would be even funnier once the game fails and he's on suicide watch
>>342176491
I don't understand the background for this guy. I know he's obsessed with no one criticising him and he beat up a vending machine (never found proof of that though) and he's got some mediocre idie games the desktop commander video makes no sense either

Old game creator. Made shitty space games since the 90s. Famous for getting into unending flame wars and threatening everyone with lawsuits whenever someone said anything bad about his games. He also showed up whenever someone mentioned his game anywhere in the Internet.
Honestly he's an asshole but Star Citizen has been a huge shit show so far so it's entertaining to follow him at least.
>bunch of shitters from neogaf trying to hsitpost because they cant on neogaf without perm bans

We simply accept that it will, beyond a doubt.
This saves the inevitable disappointment.
>>342178198
It's for backing, what do you think.
It's for the rich people who wants to back this game and still get something awesome in return. So what's the problem?
>>342178198
It's bizarre, but fine.
As long as people know, explicitly, that they are throwing money in the bin.

And now he moderates his own personal subforum about Star Citizen at SA.
>>342170610
I still can't believe how bad the FPS module of the game is, even when they used a FPS engine for it. People who think they'll make a good space game out of it are insane. In general the community seems fanatical so I guess that explains it.
>>342178198

>>342178512
Curious, what do the backers get for that kind of investment? Do you know? Look if they are gonna get that money back at some point, great, but I do not think that is the case.
Here is how backing should work. I backed Pcars when WMD was dev it. I backed them with $25 and got early access..cool and expected. Then they actually finished it, and put it on Steam. Since then, I have had 3 deposits from WMD into my paypal account. They have given me back more money than I gave them at this point and with more to come. They actually are profit sharing with their backers. That is the way it is done. Anything else is not backing or investing, it is charity and just giving your money away. That is what Star Citizen is doing, just taking money, giving you a digital ship(you do not own it, they do) and that's it. I don't think you will see a dime returned to the people that backed it. Star Citizen might as well be a starving child in Africa you send money too every month, but that kid will never even say thanks for the help let alone pay you back once he is able to succeed..
Probably due to the devs selling ships for hundreds of dollars, which is really shitty. But I don't want it to fail, but it will eventually.
>>342176894
>>342178674
As long as you admit you're petty people then you can enjoy yourselves.
>>342180016
Its a donation not an investment. You give money and get digital ships, you're not going to get $15,000 back when the game launches.
Backers =/= investors.
>>342171662
It does look pretty good.
The whole "it's a scam" thing was caused by a nutty ex employee who is known for doing that shit to get people to pay attention to him. Chris Roberts wrote a pretty specific letter addressing each point that guy made (forget his name) I haven't bought the game yet, but I've been doing some research on it and the videos they post every week are pretty damn transparent, the staff usually seems excited and there are a lot of talented people working there.
I wouldn't just buy into the scam memes because you saw a shitposter talk about it.
>>342180016
Except feeding the child in Africa give you a warm fuzzy whereas Cuck Citizen will only give you rage and disappointment
>>342173842
If by 'top talent' you mean Alex Mayberry, he left. He worked for the company for a grand total of a year and quit. The turnover is horrific at that company. Probably don't want to be associated with this project when it goes belly up.
>>342174631
They closed Austin which was supposed to be their flagship studio.
>>342175540
He has missed every deadline he set. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Anticipated_Release_Schedule
On a further note I wish people would stop shilling this vaporware.
>>342181326
For that kind of cash they should be sending those folks physical models of their ships so they can display them at home at least. I mean fuck 15k and they just let those folks use some code in a game that others cannot use. I mean I assume none of those ships could be attained in game by a non donator. Pretty amazing to believe they have gotten 110mil as of Mar out of people. With little show for it apparently. It boggles the mind really.
>>342182061
Those aren't deadlines though. Chris has waffled on about expected release windows FOREVER but never once has said "this is the cut-off point".
>>342174113
I see what you did there, and I was impressed.
>>342182384
That's the whole shtick though isn't it? Set an expected release date, fail to meet it and then say soon^tm. Who is still buying into this shit?
>>342181438
True, you at least can feel good that you are helping someone less fortunate than yourself. Not so with SC. You are the less fortunate one in the this scenario.And for those big dollar donators, fucking stupid to boot.
>>342182061
>Austin
Still open.
Studios indicates multiple studios, so far we have 0 closed.
>>342170610
My main problem with this game is that the director keeps on enforcing the ">PC is the superior gaming platform" pretty much everyone is sick of hearing. We don't own 200 PS3s to run a supercomputer, dumbass, don't think we all have an annual wage of $400k.
Other than that, I think it will suffer a similar fate to Mighty No. 9
>>342182921
Austin isn't still open. They're rolling it up into LA. They're not doing any new hires for their Austin studio. Their former artistic director, out of Austin, quit because he couldn't move to LA...supposedly. Also, They had plenty of third party contracts like Illfonic working on parts of the game that have never released. What happened to Star Marine?
>>342182358
All of the ships are obtainable by anyone. If someone wants to dump $15,000 into the game it's just a donation by someone with to much money, nothing more.

>>342170610
Too much money sent to a shit idea
>>342188587
Ship was originally going to be a 2 seater, revamped down to 1. Some people were upset.
If he can get $120M and not produce anything, how can I get money for my game?
>>342188625
The idea looks great on paper, in actual development well...
>>342188684
yeah that is kinda lame actually, considering how much money people paid for it if thats what they wanted
>>342188761
by not making two-dimensional 'space' game #392
>>342170610
I don't personally want it to fail but I do find this to be an amazing demonstration of exactly why we have the usual model for how goods and services are produced.
The usual formula is
>Good or service is provided
>Hand money
Star citizen has used the method of
>hand money
>wait for good or service to be provided
When you hand millions of dollars to someone, regardless of whether they have the best intentions or not they are not going to be as efficient with it as if it was there own money. The motivation to do a good job and make people happy pales in comparison to the motivation of profit and wealth. I'm sorry kids, but in the end game devs and publishers, with their deadlines and their market research are absolutely critical to producing real games.
If Star Citizen was ever going to be a real thing, why did the guy go to kick starter to beg for donations vs. get a real investment by eager millionaires looking to produce the most sought after space game to ever exist and make shittons of money?
Each time you buy a ship, a Chris Roberts gets excited.
>>342189180He probably did. And I agree with you completely.
>>342179091
>>342179091
>everything they have shown has been terrible?
I dunno this looked really interesting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9rqPp_Cyk4
Looks like a mix of Pulsar, Elite Dangerous and EVE Online. If it gets it right this could be the best space game out there.
>scam citizen
The new alpha 2.4.0 update is out!
>>342170610
/v/irgins are sociopatic assholes and hate on everything that doesn't have tits and isn't waifu material
>>342189180
Because he wanted to make the space game he could never make. If there was a publisher they would be poking around changing everything to CoD/whatever sells.
On the flip side without a publisher breathing down their neck the development process is a patched together mess which might not produce anything.
Something about it has always felt clunky. Is it a problem inherit to Cryengine? I felt the same way about the Crysis games.
More importantly, I have a strong feeling that aspiring captains are grossly overestimating how many other players want to crew their ships as opposed to flying their own.
Also, CIG has basically answered so many questionsthinly veiled feature requeststo the tune of "can we do ___" with "yes" that they are spreading themselves way too thin.See: When's the last time they spoke or did anything about racing? That's supposed to be another huge feature in the game.
It's great that they are being ambitious, and I genuinely want the game to succeed, but I think they are trying to do too much too quickly. I sure hope they surprise me.
>>342189817
They talked about racing recently in the Dragonfly advert.
>>342189817
The clunkyness of movement right now is part Cryengine and partially because they don't have proper quick animations for anything, leading to 30 second seating times.
Also the netcode is dogshit so everything feels horribly sludgy in Universe mode.
>>342189180
>produce the most sought after space game to ever exist
No investors want space games anymore. The genre has been dead for awhile.
>>342189542
It's okay, like there's a good, Freelanceresque game in there, but so many little things just kind of annoy me. Many of them bugs, but plenty quality of life stuff.
Like right now is collision damage is ridiculous, especially with so many things where you have to fight around set pieces.
>>342189817
If you mean the movement, that's CryEngine for sure.
>>342171662
I literally don't even know what you're trying to say.
>>342189515
He tried to play live version in christmas 2015, after several months from that presentation. The game crashed several times. That's the problem with SC, they most likely have different builds for show and actual gameplay.

Is this really considered a space game.

I guess
It was just kind of infuriating when you slam into an asteroid in the middle of a fight. I've died once or twice to gunfire and about twenty times to collision.
>>342190650
I've read enough Derek Smart tier claims without proof that I want to be proven wrong. I'll be waiting a long time...
>>342190659
even then most publishers will casualize star citizen as far as possible to appeal to the wider audience: it would become press X to tail the enemy and press the mouse button to shoot him with auto-tracking turrets
>mfw proper piracy is getting closer and closer
>>342191559
How much did you back?
>>342191198
i bring it up because it is a straight-faced attempt by, i suppose now, activision to budge cowadootie in that direction and benefit at least partially from the interest in spacecraft simulation titles beginning to manifest, for lack of a better word.
if you look at their latest gameplay trailer from e3 you'll see that the piloted fighter craft may as well be the fucking baby of a Sabre and Avenger. it's so blatant i couldn't help but giggle.
this isn't to say that cod is itself a space sim now, i'm absolutely convinced that the sections featuring such things are going to be more or less rail sequences. that's not a real flight model, or anything else constituting the genre.
>>342170610
I don't want it to fail. But when you see so much hype coming from people putting their faith in a guy who always wanted to make movies, and used video games as a stepping stone to get there(and failed, coming back to games as a fallback), you just get to wanting to snipe back a bit.
>>342191697

I would like to fly a massive, merticulously designed frigate with seperate rooms like my own starship galactica but I don't want to pay >$10000 for it
>>342170763
Exactly this. Also, most people on this forum are just pissed that they didn't back the game early, and enjoy all the sweet benefits of being an early backer.

The space genre is only starting to become more attractive in 2016. Notice how all of these games were only announced within the last year, banking off the hype of Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous. Also I'm pretty sure most if not all are technically indie games.

That patching system needs to come out immediately. I hate downloading so much data all the time and I'm sure they're not exactly enjoying supplying all that data on their network, or via google or whoever hosts their shit.
>>342194038
Wow, that actually lookslike horseshit.
>>342194091
No. The pain is real.
>>342194091
It's a little more optimized, but not by much.
Actually only in the universe portion does shit lag, the other areas are smooth.
>>342194108
I haven't seen many player pirates recently. With the new respawn system they're too nervous to shoot other players, since you get marked. I think I found one guy and he blew up pretty easily.
>>342194293why?
>>342179461
Are you triggered?
>>342194418
When are you going to add in space mines?
>>342194723
I'm not sure if space mines would be worth adding since the maps are so large. The chances of hitting one would be really low.
>>342192827
>space grow op
all my dreams will finally come true
being stoned and cruising on a spaceship
>>342194857
So with space mines you have ships that form up in groups then launch thousands of them at the enemy they also track the enemy once they are close enough.

What's so important for 2.7? What about 2.6?
>>342195019
Watch the latest 10 for the chairmen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IubH4hHIFw 2.7 is going to include procedural planets and a bunch of other important shit.
>>342195017
>thousands
that might be too many, but if you want to use something like that you can ram ships with these.
>>342194164

Maybe one day they'll get the netcode to work right.

Looks like shit cause it's not CryEngine. ;)
Why hasnt there been star citizen general in months? it used to give few laughs seeing the depths of delusions people got into.

>When that comes out, Star Citizen will already have unique content then Elite Dangerous
Because they had the audacity to create ships that they were charging thousands of dollars for each, and morons actually spent money on them.
I want it all to fail so badly.
>>342195835
There isn't much to talk about.Also there is a mod/janny that shits on the slightest hint of badwrongfun, the threads are over-pruned.
>>342186174
It's next after the Cat, how does this make you feel?
>>342195928
Man Elite: Dangerous would be fun if it had some actually variety in content.
But no, muh vision.
>>342196023
>Go to a thread on /vg/
>Half the posts are about traps and shit
I don't believe what you're saying.
>>342188781
Haven't seen anything wrong with the development. It's actually breaking ground and much smoother than other new IP AAA games. Prove me wrong.
>>342196127
Elite is missing so many things to do that should be a staple of space sims. It's frustrating because knowing FDev those things are never going to be included and each update of theirs is going to be half assed in some way, just like the most recent 2.1 update.
I just want a fucking Freelancer clone
Simply because people paid retarded amounts of money for a game that promised so much that it had to raise some red flags for a person who wasn't blinded by the graphics and Freelancer background.
Should the game ever get released I can still buy it for $60 or smth. Should the game die in development hell I will have saved $60 and get a free laugh at all the people wasting money on another kickstarter turd.
>>342196145
The person in question clearly favored that general for whatever reason.They also openly mocked people in /v/ for reporting these shit threads. Not too surprising tbqh.
>>342196420
Actually more and more it feels like a Freelancer clone
Especially right now. My one worry is that space won't be colorful. The color direction in Freelancer was one of its best parts. That and the nebulas.
>>342195928
I actually have to wonder
What can you do in Elite now that you can't in Star Citizen, with 2.7 in mind?
>>342196994
Mine asteroids
>>342196994
Ship launched fighters is the only thing I can think of. Unless CIG don't release test mining or trading yet.
>>342196110
Joy and impatience. The Cat deserves it though, they've been waiting.
I feel bad for BMM owners but that's how it goes.
>>342196213
I appreciate the open development but after the massive influx of funds they locked down much of what they're showing. I mean they even had NDA's on the latest 2.4 pre-pre-PTU.
It's possible this is how all real development is but being this open has led to everyone and their dog picking things apart, leading to doubts. At this point I'd prefer if they locked it all down and didn't worry about public releases for at least a year.
>>342197225
I think they had it for a while, the little Constellation fighter could
>>342197410
I couldn't figure out how to use it.
100 million dollars
100 million years
Promises of literally EVERYTHING
Still nothing with no future on sight
>>342197410
>>342197539
Can't launch at the moment.
>>342197683
but mah 2.7
>>342197539
It doesn't work yet. You can get into it but you'll become stuck.
>>342197683
It takes time to deliver EVERYTHING, especially when you don't even have 1 dev studio at the start.
>>342197683
>still nothing
You can do more in it than you can in Elite dangerous now
>>342197683
They added an in game cash shop
>>342198029
>Stuck
Well luckily I didn't become stuck when I was exploring someone's connie.
because it deserves to & it is
>>342196018
Chris won't let it.
Privateer and Freelancer were already "Vaporware" for their time, and took much longer than expected. Yet, it still kicks ass even till now.
>>342198051
Things Elite Dangerous has that Star Citizen will never have:
>Planets
>Crafting
>Customizable ship loadout
>An actual star
>>342197249
>It's possible this is how all real development is but being this open has led to everyone and their dog picking things apart, leading to doubts. At this point I'd prefer if they locked it all down and didn't worry about public releases for at least a year.
Hence why the ToS was changed so that no one can get their money back. It was so that Chris can complete this game without everyone panicking and pulling out their funds from underneath the game.
If I were in Chris' shoes, and I wanted full control over funding (with the utmost intention to actually deliver the game at some point), I wouldve done the same thing.
The exact same thing. Maybe even earlier.
>>342198392
I forgot VR and ship turning that doesnt feel like a bog standard FPS game

I got bad news for you
>>342198617
Not coming pal. Thier TOP MINDS cant do space-to-surface seamlessly
>>342198042
They did have a studio, they showcased a demo with actual flying ships with cockpits during the kickstarter. Oddly enough, it looks better than what we have today.

so to those who follow the game, what are the advantages that a player who pays $15,000 gets compared to a new player?

Nothing, because the PU is virtually the same as it was a year ago and it will never be completed.

I want it to succeed pretty damn bad. If they can pull it off the game will be fucking amazing.
However it looks like they can't manage money to save their lives and they have crazy feature creep instead of shooting for a reachable goal. I'm really just expecting a decent freelancer type game out of it, I only paid $35 during a sale so it doesn't really bother me.
My favorite part about the localized physics grid is how I fall out of my spaceship in motion every patch

It depends on the package. If you purchase the frigate you could use it as a symbol of power to gain favors from other alliances. The $15k package gives you a huge library to choose from, but it's not worthwhile unless you have a LOT of friends to help pilot them.
>>342199185
Dunno, I'd rather have something to play the game and reach for instead of starting with top of the line. Still haven't booted up Starpoint Gemini 2 since I tried the beta because they started you off with overpowered shit. Only thing I wish I had was lifetime insurance on my ship, that would be nice.
