It be like that sometimes. 🤷♂️ Like the playable slices of the game as is is one of the prettiest games ever
But anyone disappointed that there isn't exactly a traditionally 1.0 game at this point can't be held accountable.

I just don't get it. Is it some sort of sunk cost fallacy based on the people that have already bought in? Who is actually new and signing up for this?
Honestly I don't care. If people are paying for it they must be getting some sort of satisifcation from it. But from the outside, it looks like a huge cult.
Guaranteed if I posted the gif above in the "sell a game with a gif" thread it would convince at least one person to ask what the game is. 😅

This looks nice, but in 2021 doesn't seem all that impressive.....
The other day I stumbled upon an hour long "vertical slice" gameplay of the game's campaign and skipped through it, I thought it looked pretty cool. I figured, hey, maybe they're actually getting somewhere. Then I read the comments and realized it was a 4 year old video that had been reposted. Entire AAA games are made within that time, and Squadron 42 is still nowhere to be seen. What a joke.
What other cities look like that in open world games currently because the only one that comes to mind is Cyberpunk on a very powerful PC and when it's not breaking constantly. Many things can be said about Star Citizen but it is undeniably gorgeous.
It really seems like the people who are bought in are really bought in.
Am I missing something with Star Citizen? I've kept glancing at it over the years but haven't really looked in depth into what it *actually* is. Based on what I've read it seems to be a money pit that people keep throwing millions of dollars into (who are these people??) but will there ever actually be a game at the end of it?
I think we're just months away from them declaring that they'll be going to an NFT like system and will have to restart the game or something.
wonder what the venn diagram for star citizen funders and nft owners looks like

Oh they are ABSOLUTELY the kind of scammers who will start selling NFT starships for a game that isn't even a real thing yet. That's 100% coming.
Tried this during one of those free weekends. I couldn't wrap my head around the controls and just ended up uninstalling. I think I need a flight stick or something. I was a huge privateer fan so I want to like it though (particularly the single player) but who knows when that's supposed to show up?
Capitalism detractors will have a shining example with this game in not very long. Truely amazing stuff.
That's some crazy and amazing shit. Hell, I put in $60 toward this like 6 years back and I guess it's been worth the drama....😱😅
From wikipedia:
"Squadron 42, the now-standalone single player component of the game, was initially scheduled for the project's initial 2014 release, but suffered from delays as well. After it missed the 2014 release window, a release window in 2016 was suggested before the project was "delayed indefinitely".In 2018, Cloud Imperium Games announced a plan to enter the beta stage of Squadron 42's development before the end of the first quarter of 2020, but that date was later pushed back to the end of the second quarter of 2020.The beta was later pushed back again, to the third quarter of 2020, which passed with no news until on 10 October Chris Roberts stated that "We still have a ways to go before we are in beta"
This video is the best way to describe the current status of the game.
Isn't there some type of playable content? I've seen a lot of videos of the tech, but what's playable? Is this like an early access game or just a fancy tech demo?
Chris Roberts will deny it to the ends of the earth.
Or, at least to the end of the driveway of his ever-growing hangar of expensive cars.
Even Star Citizen's don't look like that currently. Your gif is from a standalone city square map from ~2015? There's plenty of people who wish the open world version looked like that.
Comment from the Star Citizen Reddit:
"Oh, so just because CIG is spending their income on Star Citizen rather than absorbing it into their executive pay and stock dividends is why one should criticize it? They aren't doing capitalism good enough for you?"
Lol

This, er, game is a huge mystery to me, and I do wonder if those who are calling it a scam are not far from the truth.... However, I've been enthralled recently by Roxy's - Sexy Biscuit - (SxyBiscuit) YT video's https://www.youtube.com/c/SexyBiscuit/videos which are some of the funniest game vid's I've ever watched. She - almost - makes me want to throw money at it, but luckily I don't have much, so I wont. It seems to have scope to be something amazing, but, I feel it never will be.
Clearly some people, like Roxy, are having a great time with it, so who am I to judge?
