This is an example of why I think Star Citizen is a special game. Yes it is an alpha and it is still full of bugs and many promises have not yet been fulfilled, but it is the freedom that makes the game special.


It reminds me so much of Ultima Online when you meet other players you have the freedom to decide if you want to start a friendly conversation or kill them and loot their stuff.
You just have to be willing to live with the consequences.

*approach random space outpost, wow so evocative of space*
*shoots player, who seems completely unaware of your presence during the entire process of murder*
*victims body fails to ragdoll properly, lags, dies a second time, finally coming to a rest, the perfect space hunk specimen, Crysis-armored, died in three seconds without even a fight*
*commence five minutes of looting / trite mathematical analysis of minor statistical upgrades / interface jank*
*freedome achieve*

special indeed. reminded me of runescape wilderness encounters! cutting edge stuff. an authentic and realistic depiction of a space civilization, if it was run entirely by clones babies of elon musk and henry ford

A sobering depiction of a possible future.

No thanks

Watching it, it is pretty interesting insofar as it's attempting to be a 1st person sci fi version of the old UO deal. And if that's your thing, more power to you really. Just not my cup of tea. (Why am I here in this thread, then? This whole dev cycle is pretty fascinating, what can I say.)

Here are all Star Citizen release trailers since the Hangar Module 2013 up to 3.22 in 2024 summarised in one video. Here you can see the development of the last 11 years and also form an opinion as an outsider whether Chris Roberts delivers what he promised. When I saw it all in one go, I was amazed at the leaps between 2.0 and 3.0.

What have been the milestones for you in the last few years of Star Citizen development?

This is *still* going?

Jesus, I'm surprised it's not dead.

When they shifted away from skill based combat in favor of autoaim around 3.5/3.10 that was a big milestone for me. They also continue to march in the direction of pay to win. Lots of new ships release with no way whatsoever to obtain them in-game inside the game you paid for, except wait and hope they'll allow you to purchase the ship with ingame currency someday.

At this point one whale's purchase can be worth 1200 or more players who buy the game at $40. The devs incentives will just keep driving it in a worse direction, so you can buy this game and be whale food.

Are those leaps worth $500m and 13 years of development?

[Egan_BW]

They are if you're not the one paying for it, I suppose.

You've never played it, have you?

Play what? There is no game.

Fun fact: this thread was made 11 years ago, and there used to be an even older thread.
