I am two months in SC now and I feel quite bored. The variety of missions is limited, and they are very repeatable. Once you get used you know every time what will happen and what to expect. I also find space combat extremely basic compared to other space sims and the flight model quite limiting. I still enter in the game from time to time for the immersion. The one thing that SC does better than any other game is the immersion. It looks beautiful and simply wondering around feels great. Gameplay wise however there is almost nothing to do after two months in the game.
@@theluismabeatle1455 You can try it on their Free Fly weekends they do every once in a while. I haven't spent a dime on the game, but have played it for probably 50 hours over the years just checking it out from time to time.
@@theluismabeatle1455 for me its not about bigger ships but different ships and different gameplay or possibilities. Bigger ships mostly meant for multi crew gameplay. so it only make sense if you have other ppl to play with. Best example is the hammerhead. the pilot has no weapons and there are 6 manned turrets.
What can you actually do in Star Citizen? .. Well, number one... You can stop asking questions on development and stop asking the developer to follow forecasted releases. ;)
I’m really enjoying this game. Yeah it’s a little glitchy and annoying at times but I like the whole dynamic of it. The fact I can set my ship to go to a system and I can just sit in my 315p and make a coffee whilst I wait is great
I was a new player, well hadn't played for 8 years. Started last week. The game is a broken mess, so much so it's frustrating and I am genuinely embarrassed for CIG. No way does CIG have 700 Devs, I'm calling their bluff on that one. The current PU game loops especially bunker missions and FPS missions are frustrating, broken and an absolute waste of time for any casual player. Bugs that have been around for months. The PU should be show casing SC and generating hype, but it's not. There's no active bug fix team that I can see. Game breaking bugs , enemies not spawning, narcotics and mission items not spawning, bunker lifts broken, the player can not enter the mission. Loot that can not be picked up . Derelict ship missions, NPC crew not spawning, the derelicts where players fall through floors, glitch on graphics, get stuck and have to suicide or log out to fix It is up to the content creators to call CIG out, to fix the current game loops in the PU. Alpha is not an excuse Awaiting new game systems ( yes that old carrot on a stick ) is not an excuse. Tell the truth, don't polish a turd , call out the bugs and that they don't get fixed, call out that it's frustrating to play. Call them out, we deserve a working game environment to attract new players and restore faith to older backers How can you say that mining is complex? It's a hello kitty mini game with a random scale, extremely tedious after a few hours and the only game loop that actually works. A lovely game to look at yes, but broken beyond belief . Please call CIG out to fix the game play bugs. Last night was 5/5 missions bugged, that was my two hour gaming window gone, so frustrating. Big server wide events, huge space battles? FFS tell the truth, 50 players max but can only handle about 8 before it janks out and frame rate turns to garbage with 99% chance the event will bug. The Xeno event was a meme FFS! Tell the truth ! To be completely honest? Then do it, call CIG out. Fix the bugs!
Those are your (perfectly valid) opinions Shane, I made a video that included a portion of mine and a portion of objective info. If you’d like a YT channel that calls out CIG based on your opinions….make one?
@@fiftydabs5114 I've seen no evidence of that. It looks better, but when I played there was very little to do. The main zone/city stores didn't even function properly. It was some time ago. Maybe things have changed.
I did the same back in patch 8.2 was running fine then they changed the cpu code and couldn't get the game to load then someone in my org offered me a i7700k for £50 he put it on eBay at a high price with offers and got it that way it has been running the game with now problems so far but now with clouds in better get a more powerful one if I was you.
I did so too. But in 2014 :D (i7 4770K, 16GB and GTX 770, swapped out for a AMD Saphirre 580 a few years ago, build is still going strong) I am currently waiting until SQ42 releases before I build myself a new PC. By then the new CPUs with new sockets and DDR5 (requires new mainboard anyways) are going to be out and starting to get useful. Something I hope will allow me to game for the next decade without much upgrading required.
8 years ago I signed up... Was mostly interested in Squadron 42, nowadays I check in a few times a year... not much seems to change other than every six months my frames per second drops 15% and so does my attitude. Eventually, there will be a kind of an actual game to play... not these days but someday hopefully
“Every six months my frames per second drops 15% and so does my attitude.” Thanks for this one - it honestly gave me a good chuckle in the morning :D Yeah I think a lot of people who are early backers will take your approach. The thing that unites people who play regularly after being a backer for a while is the community / sandbox side of things - events run by players give the reason to grind a bit for a certain ship etc
Yeah when you have a bunch of idiots paying 50 bucks for an ALPHA....and paying a bunch of money for stupid ships. the company isnt in any rush to finish this game.
@@faultboy i can do massive PvP i can do in some strange way actually a little side Storys i can Rob PPLs i can earn every ship with in Game money i can customize i have the Options on how i want to make money is it trough drug shipping head hunting farming etc. So nah i am good brah. But U are one of the reasons why the gaming Community ist so toxic so who hurt U ?
What u can do on star citizen is spend thousands of dollars on the game and still not be enough to complete and probably will never complete in my life time.
*MANCHESTER, UK - 10 Nov. 2021* - _International independent videogame developer Cloud Imperium Games today announced it will open a new game development studio in Manchester’s Enterprise City district, scheduled for May 2022. The Manchester studio will create more than 700 jobs in the metropolitan area by 2023, and over 1,000 within the next five years._
Every year same meh...gameplay = 0. Borred after a week. Same repeated missions bla bla. I try it every year since 2012. And every year same dissapointment. 2022 the game is practically the same as 2020. Tbh 500 mio $...really? Its like 10 different missions to do. Carry package, clear bunker, aprehend this target, remove claimjumpers, kill illegal monitors, research crash site and its over. Walking in the city isnt gameplay for me.
I think for the solo player star citizen at its current form is extremely limited, especially since any sort of progress you do will eventually get wiped since its still a work in progress game, it takes a special type of person to play this game at its current form because it does have bugs, glitches, crash to desktop, brain dead AI on the ground or in space, but one thing that it has that beats current space sims is its immersive system, granted there's only one at the moment. I believe that people will get a lot more in the current iteration of the game if you join an active group/org that plays together and make use of the game as a sandbox. I do hope the developers finally finish SQ42 and release it so they can finally focus on building Star Citizen and the PU hopefully they finally get the PU working with PES/MES and fully flesh out the MMO that is Star Citizen.
@BudduhMann1 like the other man said, if you buy it from the grey market, there is some risk involved. from the legit store of RSI you should have evidence on your mailbox you bought them. would be easy to proof you did buy them. and iam sure they restore it very quickly.
@BudduhMann1 then you should have proof in your inbox what you have bought. i would recommend to contact customer service to restore your account. also make sure you have one full game in your account, only ships do not give you access to the game.
@BudduhMann1 it is very odd to say the least. i have to admit, this is the first time i hear this happen to someone. i hope you get your stuff back. let me know how it wend, if i can help let me know.
I'm similar to you in that I started playing a little over 3 years ago and love the game for what it is right now. I do have high hopes for it, but I keep them reigned in for the simple fact that this IS a very ambitious project. And it seems to grow in that ambition with every patch. I'm worried that it will end up infinitely chasing the next newest technology just to keep up with that ambition. They've made great leaps in the game since I started in 2018, and it's actually more enjoyable now, especially since they (mostly) got rid of the 30k issue. There are still bugs, and they'll be fixed, and more bugs will be introduced with the next patch, but that's the nature of a game in development. Having said that, it's soooo worth it to play right now. If you can't find something to do, ask around. There are always people looking for a turret gunner or someone to fill a slot on a Mole. Even solo though is very rewarding. Get into mining with a Prospector and make loads of creds, buy ships you want to try out, or just hoard your wealth. But it's definitely the most enjoyable with other players.
Couldn’t agree more Robert - and yeah multiplayer is where it really comes alive. I particularly love that it’s a game where you’re not always “on”, there’s the time to have a chat and make some actual mates.
I stopped watching when you said "the game is worth $45 to me" Okay. But there are ships in the game that cost way way more. And don't give me this, you don't have to buy them crap. People have spent thousands and thousands on this unfinished garbage and that's the only reason it's still in development is because of the gullible individuals who support this. If everyone had your attitude and ONLY spent $45 on this game it would have ceased to exist a long time ago. The ONLY reason the development has been able to continue is the predatory practices of selling people ships, some of which aren't even playable yet. So everyone you say afterwards is irrelevant. It's like walking into a casino and saying oh you can just buy some tacos and play penny slots if you want and then leave. Like sure you can but most people don't. Most people see the new ships and keep buying into the game with the hopes that it will be better.
You stopped watching and started typing so you’re clearly passionate 😂 Purely out of interest is this as a heavily invested backer or as someone on the sidelines? When I said the $45 comment it was because I feel the debate around SC’s quality as a game at the moment is often framed in the context of whether it’s worth thousands of dollars to people.
A good friend at the time gifted me an Aurora LX game-pack back in 2015 to get me into the game because I'd been curious about it for a while, and honestly I've not been disappointed. Sure its a long wait, but I have accrued many cherished memories since then. Besides, I'm under the opinion of "I dont care how long it takes, as long as its good." So I dont mind the wait, especially since we're getting access to any progress as its made.
Too long, and they dont do enough. after 8 years all the glitches and several Major bugs have to be fixed. still a mess. I wait for the release but I'm not sure they will release the game. I hope is not a scam
@@Ягоконти many of the major bugs are tied to MP though and SQ42 is coming first with MP years away. my hope is that once they iron out the SP experience they can really iron out a proper MP.
I'm a supporter from beginning... But 400 million is plenty of money for pretty much any video game project..if I had the cold war playability (6million) with size and sand box of....lets say 2 Gta's? (150million) then add a world every 6 months ( income from US!!!??)50$....LETS SAY.. THATS less than half the budget with 10 times the current playability...I don't want EVERYONE TOGETHER...WOW has 100 k per server..that's FINE...its tiresome and feels like a con..
People keep talking shit on it, bruh people payed 60 for cyberpunk, I paid 60 for Destiny 2. I’ve wasted more money on dumber and more unfinished games than SC, not to mention people play GACHA GAMES LIKE GENSHIN IMPACT AND WASTE LITERAL THOUSANDS, and no one bats an eye. I think 45 dollars isn’t that much for such an amazing “Scam”
Thank you for making this! The larger SC community seems to forget how much SC offers for the 40 quid starter package. The scope of the game TODAY is far beyond anything else offers making SC truly unique. The Reddit and spectrum warriors seem to forget this instead of taking joy in hating on something different. CIG is far from perfect and both it and the game has far to go but no one can deny the epic star citizen moments we have all had over the years.
Cheers mate, tbh I do completely understand the frustration with the announcements but I feel that it’s 90% to do with the crappy way it was presented as opposed to the content.
@@LoudGuns Communication is a huge failing area of CIG, in many many aspects. Especially, since SC is still in early alpha and a kickstarter and relying on payer/players to develop the game into a launch state. 2) the attitude CIG has taken toward their payer/players (as shown in language used in their communication) it is like that of the falling activision-blizzard, and the falling frontier dev. 3) managment. Good management will study the progress rate of the workers/developers and provide ever increasing in accuracy estimates for deadlines and sub-deadlines for releases and such. And if errors are made, good management takes ownership of failures, blaming no one but themselves, for oversight is their perview and authority; and will communicate as such back to ALL financial backers. Such are the teachings of quality instruction in management and reflected in the types of questions asked in interviews for management positions. Even for projects that seek to do what has never been done, a 'scope..beyond anything else', for the goal is comprised of a thousand thousand doable steps, built upon what has come before.
@@idminister I think that’s all fair, I just honestly think point number 1 is the biggest - that announcement was trash. If they had just said- “the roadmap as it exists is proving to be very distracting and demoralising to our employees. We want to reduce how far it runs into the future because forecasting further than the next patch is very hit and miss” - then I reckon we’d have a lot smaller an issue.
As someone who argues with SC trolls I can assure you it doesn't matter what CIG does or said, they will invent their own story regardless, I've had numerous haters come and abuse me on my channel because I dared to disagree with them, they're a cult, consumed with hate over a 40 dollar game because it makes them feel big, nothing CIG can do will change that, it's an alpha, it's in development, if people decide to frame everything as if they paid for a finished product as if it's the apocalypse it's on them, not the people making the game, who we should support, and do, seeing as they yet again broke sales records over the past week.
Absolutely worthless game. This game will be outdated by the time it comes out. Performance is horrible and not a single system is fully developed and properly finished. It is plagued with bugs all over the place. Love the idea but sadly, they have delivered far too little, far too late. It's a no for me.
Everything aside, this is one of the most impressive gaming projects that's been under development, like ever. You touched on the basic things but all of these scenarios have hundreds of one of a kind moments. I've had the strangest encounters ever in this game, it's hard to explain. It's like DayZ, you only really kill and survive and when you look at it like that it's bare. But when you spawn in and someone ties you to a train track the first 10 minutes and force feeds you bleach, it's insanely one of a kind immersion. SC has a lot of those moments.
It's received over $100 million in funding. Uh, yeah, it better be fucking impressive. Relatively to the money its raised, however, it's a complete scam.
@@yoursweatersux Lol, your entitled to think that. If this company is a scam to you, probably need to open your eyes a little bit. Or atleast educate yourself on where the money is going to before you make a comment like that. Also, the majority of backers have already received thousands of hours of playtime. Scam or not, most backers already got more playtime than what they would've got spending $100 on a game or two.
@@rttt159 - They've gotten over half a billion dollars to make this game. - They've had a decade to develop it, but despite that, it's still practically barren of real content, and they're somehow still cutting shit out of the road map. - They're literally insulting their backers, the people who gave them all that money and time to deliver, calling them "a noisy contingent" and "a distraction." I mean.. come on, man. You can't seriously think this is acceptable behavior from a company. It absolutely is a scam until they prove otherwise.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 Yes, they got a GTA budget; and are making a game on a scale 10x of GTA, and are making all of the engines and software etc. themselves. So, yes it'll take a while, and cost a lot more then the average game. No doubt backers can be a distraction when they want stuff done in the order they think is best. As I said before, the majority of people have received hundreds and thousands of hours of gametime - scams simply cannot provide that. You can have a bad opinion about the company and the game, that's up to you and frankly noone really gives a fuck. You can always just not play the game if you don't like it.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 such is life with massive multiplayer projects. unfortunately dev time slows down much more because they have to interact with people, deal with problems, deal with bugs, deal with bugs players find, etc. that and just dealing with keeping servers operating probably consumers a ton of time, and millions of dollars per year in server costs. working under NDAs in secret like most games are made is way easier and quicker... theres a reason its usually done that way.
I stopped playing Destiny2 when I had to spend three hours a day minimum to level up my character and alts - playing the same daily missions trice. With SC I can spend three hours a day - mining, cargo running, bounty hunting, etc and the game is so nuanced that it’s always a different experience. Yea it’s sometimes buggy, but it’s an alpha, and the bugs occur less frequently than they did in 3.14.
For sure - sometimes I feel there’s an element of when you’re close to a project, playing everyday etc you don’t see the progress. I’ve recently been teaching an IRL mate to play though and it was when I was going “we can do this, or this, oh and this is cool” that I realised how far along things had come in the last year.
@@LoudGuns I just did a HRT, then stopped to pick up cargo, but was then killed by the Grim Hex lift bug, followed by the Orison infinite transport loop… typical SC.
But it's Alpha...there it is.... Nope it's the tech demo that time forgot. CIG haven't fixed anything especially game loop bugs for a long time, months intact. Stop finding excuses for CIG's 700 Devs ( what a meme that is ) and put pressure on CiG to provide a playable PU with all game loops working even 80% of the time. ATM bunker missions, rescue missions, derelict space ship missions and most FPS are 80-90% bugged and game breaking requiring mission abandon or a relog.
I like your commentary quite a lot, in depth and with a healthy dose of common sense, there are things i don't like about the project for sure, but what they are doing is pretty much unmatched, no other game has this degree of tech and seamless first person universe as they say, and that makes a great difference when you are playing. Subscribed and will be watching your coverage as well man, great content here.
@@LoudGuns lol 😂 well the thing is, the game is really unique despite the situation, and even though I don't play it myself, I didn't find anything like this, so yeah hope they do some better choices about how to communicate things, but the game is coming along in the end, and i like that about the patches, they always bring enough to keep it interesting.
be victim of bugs until you get the hell sick of it i guess. That or waiting a game come out of this one day but i think it's daydreaming at this point kek
1:25 Not going to guess when it may released for fear of looking like a Mug. I remember back in 2014, when I saw what was promised and how the pace of development was going and saying "this is going to take a lot longer then the projected release date" then getting white knighted against for merely suggesting that the project was going to take far more time then the, at the time, projected release dates.
@Rheumattica yes it is. White Knights have a problem with defending someone or some organization as if they can do no wrong, even to the point of overrunning and trampling on someone who points out a fair and credible point, such as understanding the game design process and knowing the pace of it and how a stated deadline that was announce is going too be missed and getting falsely condemned as a hater by a mob of defenders just for pointing out the realistic issue of the process and how it will lead to missing that release date. Just like how a boyfriend would knowingly defend his girlfriend even when that Bf knows the GF made false accusations of rape against someone else. The White Knight blindly defends the person or organization they favor without regard for the truth and doesn't care who they have to destroy to do it, even if they defend a a mere shruggable mistake, intentional lying or an out right murderer.
@@brickbunny9686 no, that's not what "white knight" means. A white knight defends something or someone (that/who doesn't really need defending) in order to make themselves seem heroic. "Getting white knighted against" is also an incredibly grating use of language.
@@scepticrat Someone or something that "DOES NOT NEED DEFENDING" I used it correctly Pay attention too context. Where did CIG need defending over simply pointing out how a release date was going to be missed? When the pace of development was not making the, at the time, release date reasonably possible? My use of the term was correctly applied. And after a flame war over a reasonable concern of the development pace, I kept getting hunted down after words. Just for saying "Hey, this development pace doesn't look fast enough for that 'at the time' release date to happen." grating use of language? I got flamed on message boards, shot down and my ships blown up, grieffed and harassed, just for making a valid point... And you want to complain about "Grating use of language," when your very own definition shows I correctly applied the term?
Star Citizen is evolving very good. Next big step will be base building. Base building will open the game so we can actually evolve our selfies by building our own home and station or city. The possibilities then will be thousands of times more.
Player-hosted events can be some of the most fun to be had in a game. Just like old-school DnD, you can have a blast with nothing more than a good story and willing players.
You can wait forever for any meaningful feature to be added. You can also enjoy terrible physics while waiting, where the ship moves like a mouse cursor. The game is basically done, nothing meaningful added in past year+
finally a video that shows the truth and the facts about SC, i too pledged in 2014 and this game is pretty much the best one iv played and it has come a looooong way from what it used to be.
Lol, this is basically a shitty No Man's Sky. Just think about that...especially considering how shitty NMS was at launch. Mining, space battles, all shit that NMS did years ago. Sure the graphics I feel are much better here but the fact that anyone is spending money on a literally unfinished game is like buying No Mans Sky at launch fo $100. You Star Citizen Simps need to quit the cope.
@@MyJourneyConcludes the two games you are comparing are nothing alike even now, i think star citizen is way more complex (even tho i agree that for the amount of money they raised they should be in more than beta now) no man's sky is basically an arcade game and star citizen does everything in a seamless and detailed way so just from there i think you can't compare the two. And the graphics aren't better in Star Citizen, it's just a different style, No man's sky opted for a stylised environment while SC wanted to go on realism. I also agree on the simps problem, but let's be honest if they weren't there there would'nt even be an SC right now. The developement team did go that far because of them.
I feel alot of new people to the game recently are younger and don't care much for the slow gameplay loops like mining, box missions, cave missions, so basically they come for the PvP and if they're not a fairly good pilots they end up being griefers.
Luckily enough the game still needs some kind of skill and its not so easy to be a griefer than in gta online for example and the biggest part of the community really is awesome
exactly. with so many other break-neck paced games out there these days, I can totally see younger kids getting impatient with it. But honestly, I like it because of the more mellow nature of it (at least if you so choose). I find it quite pleasant to kick back, relax, and listen to some music or a stream while running some cargo, or mining, and so forth.
I think the main problem with Star Citizen is that #1 it's too ambitious and subsequently not profitable. If it were possible and profitable, Triple A companies would've made it already. #2 is that so many people have invested so much money into the game that they can't afford to see the game go to ruin and because of this, Squadron 42 has no pressure from investors to meet deadlines.
Lack of motivation to complete in a timely manner, mostly because of lack of incentive from income growing despite setbacks and developmental delays. Hell, they have a subscription monthly based service, purchasable in-game ship weaponry and select ship skins through their website paid with IRL money, AND merchandise despite the game being nowhere near complete. So long as people shoulder the time spent just waiting, keep subscribing/paying for in-game content with real cash and continue not pushing against lack of transparency; this game will never be complete, because it's a perfect honey pot.
Star Citizen is definitely ambitious, but I think that's why it will always secure income from backers and investors. In an industry where AAA titles have no ambition or passion, Star Citizen will always have a place, even if it is at times a buggy mess.
Well done LG. We are backers for, as you said a "blue Sky" project - its still very much in progress - its not a 'game'. Spend what ya like to back knowing that it goes to fund the development of what could well be the best damm game ever...if you don't like it, fine. walk away and stop bitching is my attitude. In the meantime, I'll fly around, trading, mining, having a blast!
I can understand why some folks are a bit upset, but honestly I think 90% of the issue was a bit of poor communication from CIG. Give it another month or two and most of it will have been forgotten about.
Haha, mostly a case of not thinking I could add anything to that particular convo than had already been said. Also, I’d have to pretend I’d paid much attention to the roadmap before this all changed :D
Started this game the other day. I can say I’m not a space game fan but wow. Changed my mind completely. This is the first game I can say actually is worth even 100 euro. I bought the 45 euro version and then did not play it for 2 years because of pc being crap until now I upgraded to a high extrem end pc. :) brilliant game extremely atmospheric.
@@indigo7387 game offers allot compared to many trip A games. Everyone is different. For me it’s the details, the sense of just going places. Not knowing what could happen. (Maybe my game crashes again). Why do people like Euro truck simulator?? Same thing, for some it chills people out. Some people have more imagination than others.
Game is not optimized, with a i-9.12900kf and. 3090 im having 30fps. 40fps at best. And bugs on every corner, random ship explosions and so on. Whyy would u wanna play this?
No faith in CiG marketing and execs mixed faith in game devs ability to deliver on such a poorly managed project, serious CiG hire some real professionals to direct production and let CR dream up stuff in his office stop the Feature Creature.
Tbf in my personal experience improving RAM made way more difference than improving GPU. That said it's all due to poor optimization given the current state of the game.
When I first read about Star Citizen and their ambitious dream, it helped me to think about Star Citizen as less of a game, and more of a potential Meta-verse. That's really helped me to enjoy it a lot more than I otherwise might have. Yes, it needs so much more work and development, so much more content... but on the scale of things Star Citizen is like The Death Star rebuild from Return of the Jedi compared to the Millennium Falcon in size and scope. It's massive, and not yet fully operational. But when it is, and it very well could be 2030 before it's ever fully realized, it will be capable of destroying all the competition in one swift stroke.
@@miroslavchladny983 yeah tbf it’s worst in the cities - realistically the game just isn’t well optimised yet, so even beastly rigs will struggle at times with it.
Anyone trying to act like this game is fun or is even a game is lying to themselves. This is not a game, and the developers should be held responsible for still not having a game to play.
One of the joys of life is that we don’t all enjoy exactly the same things. The bit that confuses me is the amount of very angry people who still watch loads of SC content just to drop comments like this….like if I decide I’m done with a game I just move on.
That’s fair - there’s a saying that I like (even if it’s outdated since nobody smokes anymore) - “different smokes for different folks”. Personally I like where the grind is set and where I think it’ll go - but the most important thing I realise as I get a bit older is that it’s more important to enjoy what you’re doing as opposed to just trying to beat the game. If the actual gameplay isn’t interesting I’m not going to grind to “get past it” like I would’ve in the past when I had a lot more time available to play games.
Just the fact that we’ve come so far that we have a persistent universe now that isn’t wiped every patch like we used to deal with is enough reason to jump in and enjoy yourself
To be fair that persistence between patches was the point I really got into this game, I occasionally loaded it up and had a look around before that but that was the key for me.
SC is a visually great game but the grind that is required to get to where you want to be is somewhat comparable to War Thunder but with the addition of losing everything if you dont do it right edit: not literally everything
@@zhadowmoon5811 they do resets every now and again. They're hoping when they get Server meshing up they can get a more persistent gameplay. But theres also items like ship guns vanishing, Armor, the works. Ships rarely vanish from inventory but a quick character reset usually gets them back.
@@themeddite I’ve heard you can lose your inventory and stuff when you die or something how does that work? Can you grind for a cool armor and just lose it? Also if your ship get destroyed and your just floating in space what do you do? Is your ship permanently destroyed?
@@zhadowmoon5811 so far if your ship gets blown up you can just claim it for free and wait a given amount of time. If you have armor in a ship and it blows up you loose the armor. If you die with armor on you can retrieve it from your body. But armor while pricey is cheap to replace. With most full heavy armor sets running 10k but you can just loot armor from dead AI. But they are planning to add a ship insurance system. They haven't talked too much about it but it sounds like elite dangerous where you pay a fraction of the ships price to get it back and ships will be much harder to destroy by then. So you will most likely be able to limp your ship to a station.
if you have a good gaming computer and great internet and love space exploration and stuff then I suggest the game. It's a VERY beautiful game. The problem I had was it only was fun for a week. :(
I feel bad there are only a couple of days left to try the game for free, because it looks really intriguing, even with limitations considered. The community sounds amazing.
after you explore all the cities and ships you will get bored very quickly since the actual gameplay is the same thing over and over again. that being said its really awesome and fun the first time you play and explore
I backed 2 games at the same time many years ago Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous ... Got Elite Dangerous as specified on time many years ago. Where is my original single player game i pledged for. All i see is a Tesco's in Space for Chris Roberts to make a bit more cash.
Just think October 2022 it will be ten years since the Kickstarter began. We use to joke about it taking ten years for it to come out. Never imagined it was going to take twenty. Of course we do have the Alpha still to play around in.
I want to enjoy this game sooo sooo bad but I have no clue what to do and I purchased a ship and everything. I'm stuck on home world. Also its stuck on 60 fps or less I think, even when settings are low af and my PC is far from bad lol
If you don't have a PC that could successfully be used by NASA to launch a capsule to the space station, Dont bother buying into it. The concept of the game is beyond everything else on the current market, if your happy being hit by bugs & constant fps drops then be my guest. Also as a reference my rig is the following AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, 64GB ram at 3600MHz & a ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3090 24GB.
I love this game and yes there are glitches. Loud Guns, the server crash is currently losing my cargo loads. Logging out in bed can bring you back under the surface of a moon or even at the sun. I'm hanging on for new developments. $45 is nothing for the amount of fun it pays back. Visually the game is stunning. It's truly immersive.
@@tomc8157 I've been playing for almost two years...it's my primary entertainment. $45 is a great investment too...so much so that I bought a few ships with real money so that I can enjoy the game even more. The community is awesome too.
This game will never make it because progress is too slow, by the time something gets finished something else is outdated and needs to get updated again. Stuck in a vicious circle of incompletion until they run out of money.
Crash, loose inventory, ship fail to spawn and lots of lag. Same as always. My grandkids are going to enjoy this game in 15-20 years. My $240 ship will be worth tens of thousands with inflation... They can sell my account and pay for college.
Still haven't fixed the absolutely horrid fps and optimization. Can play every modern game at 60 fps but star citizen I still get 10 fps in that stupid bed. People supporting this game are ones that have so much money they don't know what to do with it. Those are the only people capable of running this game because they spend tons of money on a computer that can run this trash. They should of been focusing on making sure their players can actually PLAY the game rather than coming out with ships and charging insane amounts of money for just that, pixels. Its a joke and the ones who are still constantly supporting them only feed into the mentality of the developers thinking this is all okay. It isn't, and all of you are being scammed like never before. This game has made accumulated more money than most popular mainstream games and it still runs HORRIBLE, after how many years? I don't think I have ever heard of or seen a bigger joke in gaming history, and the most hilarious part is they are pulling the wool over most of your eyes just like 343 did with Halo Infinite and its "free to play" multiplayer.
In other words it's like every other MMO with fed-ex missions, find missions, and kill em missions. No crafting, no building your own ships and you are stuck with the ship you bought for real $$ unless you want to shell out more real $$ to get another ship. They received 300 million dollars in funding and this is the crap they came up with? A pay to win?
Well, it looks cool... until you fall down an elevator shaft.... get shot up by some idiot for no reason.... get something stuck to you that you cannot get rid of.... Try to do a mission only to have someone steal your ship.... but it looks cool... $45 wasted. How long does an "Alpha" stay that way? Maybe I'll try back in a few years.
what kinda pc specs is needed to run this?. Ive been really tempted to get into SC for a few years now. I was subscribed to SC wayback before it was playable. Would love to get into mining/exploration, onlything that is holding me back is the resets. But if its not that often now im thinking i should give it a go soon. Also, is it playable with mouse and keyboard?, or is joysticks needed?
We need aliens/monsters. Would make this universe less empty. And give more missions to do. And stuff to shot at beaides pvp/players.
So it's just no man's sky HD redux
@@madbros-r-us4549 needs to be done
@@anonymouscross Is that right? That's great news then.
Wildlife would be cool yea.
i wanna be an alien/monster too? :P
I am two months in SC now and I feel quite bored. The variety of missions is limited, and they are very repeatable. Once you get used you know every time what will happen and what to expect. I also find space combat extremely basic compared to other space sims and the flight model quite limiting. I still enter in the game from time to time for the immersion. The one thing that SC does better than any other game is the immersion. It looks beautiful and simply wondering around feels great. Gameplay wise however there is almost nothing to do after two months in the game.
Does grinding give you any reward besides bigger ships?
I feel like trying it but if it’s just a grindfest with not even captivating missions.. meh
@@theluismabeatle1455 You can try it on their Free Fly weekends they do every once in a while. I haven't spent a dime on the game, but have played it for probably 50 hours over the years just checking it out from time to time.
@@theluismabeatle1455 its fun with friends and doing events with groups, otherwise it is kind of a grind
@@theluismabeatle1455 for me its not about bigger ships but different ships and different gameplay or possibilities. Bigger ships mostly meant for multi crew gameplay. so it only make sense if you have other ppl to play with. Best example is the hammerhead. the pilot has no weapons and there are 6 manned turrets.
What can you actually do in Star Citizen? .. Well, number one... You can stop asking questions on development and stop asking the developer to follow forecasted releases. ;)
"It's going to take years to realize it's full potential"... I listened to that with tears from 2014 rolling down my face
I’m really enjoying this game. Yeah it’s a little glitchy and annoying at times but I like the whole dynamic of it. The fact I can set my ship to go to a system and I can just sit in my 315p and make a coffee whilst I wait is great
Yeah that’s when you know it’s got you :D
this man after going broke because he had to make coffee for the thousandth time
You are describing elite dangerous five years ago, except you cant just buy the best ship with thousands of irl money, lol
whats your pc specs
That is the thing i'm missing from elite
I was a new player, well hadn't played for 8 years. Started last week.
The game is a broken mess, so much so it's frustrating and I am genuinely embarrassed for CIG.
No way does CIG have 700 Devs, I'm calling their bluff on that one.
The current PU game loops especially bunker missions and FPS missions are frustrating, broken and an absolute waste of time for any casual player.
Bugs that have been around for months.
The PU should be show casing SC and generating hype, but it's not.
There's no active bug fix team that I can see.
Game breaking bugs , enemies not spawning, narcotics and mission items not spawning, bunker lifts broken, the player can not enter the mission.
Loot that can not be picked up .
Derelict ship missions, NPC crew not spawning, the derelicts where players fall through floors, glitch on graphics, get stuck and have to suicide or log out to fix
It is up to the content creators to call CIG out, to fix the current game loops in the PU.
Alpha is not an excuse
Awaiting new game systems ( yes that old carrot on a stick ) is not an excuse.
Tell the truth, don't polish a turd , call out the bugs and that they don't get fixed, call out that it's frustrating to play.
Call them out, we deserve a working game environment to attract new players and restore faith to older backers
How can you say that mining is complex?
It's a hello kitty mini game with a random scale, extremely tedious after a few hours and the only game loop that actually works.
A lovely game to look at yes, but broken beyond belief .
Please call CIG out to fix the game play bugs.
Last night was 5/5 missions bugged, that was my two hour gaming window gone, so frustrating.
Big server wide events, huge space battles? FFS tell the truth, 50 players max but can only handle about 8 before it janks out and frame rate turns to garbage with 99% chance the event will bug. The Xeno event was a meme FFS!
Tell the truth !
To be completely honest? Then do it, call CIG out.
Fix the bugs!
Those are your (perfectly valid) opinions Shane, I made a video that included a portion of mine and a portion of objective info. If you’d like a YT channel that calls out CIG based on your opinions….make one?
In the verse? XD
EVE, STO, Elite, and No Man's Sky have verses. Star Citizen has what? One solar system?
And every single one of those game STILL are not as good as SC is in its alpha state lmao 😂
@@fiftydabs5114 I've seen no evidence of that. It looks better, but when I played there was very little to do. The main zone/city stores didn't even function properly. It was some time ago. Maybe things have changed.
I’m literally building a pc just to play this game I’m in the process of saving for the parts super excited!
Nice one! Hit us up when you get there :D
I did the same back in patch 8.2 was running fine then they changed the cpu code and couldn't get the game to load then someone in my org offered me a i7700k for £50 he put it on eBay at a high price with offers and got it that way it has been running the game with now problems so far but now with clouds in better get a more powerful one if I was you.
Me 2
I did so too. But in 2014 :D (i7 4770K, 16GB and GTX 770, swapped out for a AMD Saphirre 580 a few years ago, build is still going strong)
I am currently waiting until SQ42 releases before I build myself a new PC. By then the new CPUs with new sockets and DDR5 (requires new mainboard anyways) are going to be out and starting to get useful. Something I hope will allow me to game for the next decade without much upgrading required.
Dont! Run!
8 years ago I signed up... Was mostly interested in Squadron 42, nowadays I check in a few times a year... not much seems to change other than every six months my frames per second drops 15% and so does my attitude. Eventually, there will be a kind of an actual game to play... not these days but someday hopefully
“Every six months my frames per second drops 15% and so does my attitude.”
Thanks for this one - it honestly gave me a good chuckle in the morning :D Yeah I think a lot of people who are early backers will take your approach. The thing that unites people who play regularly after being a backer for a while is the community / sandbox side of things - events run by players give the reason to grind a bit for a certain ship etc
Yeah when you have a bunch of idiots paying 50 bucks for an ALPHA....and paying a bunch of money for stupid ships. the company isnt in any rush to finish this game.
the fuck ? u have at the time there a whole GTA Online in fcking space so stop crying u have more content then in WoW at the moment
@@paralexz7791 A bit blinded, arent you?
@@faultboy i can do massive PvP i can do in some strange way actually a little side Storys i can Rob PPLs i can earn every ship with in Game money i can customize i have the Options on how i want to make money is it trough drug shipping head hunting farming etc. So nah i am good brah. But U are one of the reasons why the gaming Community ist so toxic so who hurt U ?
I have no intention of playing this game but your approach to commentary and objectivity is quite good and deserves to be appreciated.
What u can do on star citizen is spend thousands of dollars on the game and still not be enough to complete and probably will never complete in my life time.
*MANCHESTER, UK - 10 Nov. 2021* - _International independent videogame developer Cloud Imperium Games today announced it will open a new game development studio in Manchester’s Enterprise City district, scheduled for May 2022. The Manchester studio will create more than 700 jobs in the metropolitan area by 2023, and over 1,000 within the next five years._
Every year same meh...gameplay = 0. Borred after a week. Same repeated missions bla bla. I try it every year since 2012. And every year same dissapointment. 2022 the game is practically the same as 2020. Tbh 500 mio $...really? Its like 10 different missions to do. Carry package, clear bunker, aprehend this target, remove claimjumpers, kill illegal monitors, research crash site and its over. Walking in the city isnt gameplay for me.
I think for the solo player star citizen at its current form is extremely limited, especially since any sort of progress you do will eventually get wiped since its still a work in progress game, it takes a special type of person to play this game at its current form because it does have bugs, glitches, crash to desktop, brain dead AI on the ground or in space, but one thing that it has that beats current space sims is its immersive system, granted there's only one at the moment. I believe that people will get a lot more in the current iteration of the game if you join an active group/org that plays together and make use of the game as a sandbox. I do hope the developers finally finish SQ42 and release it so they can finally focus on building Star Citizen and the PU hopefully they finally get the PU working with PES/MES and fully flesh out the MMO that is Star Citizen.
From my experience it is mostly a beautiful empty game. It get me bored quite fast after a week or two playing it.
its more a tech demo
This is a sandbox. So its really all about the interaction with other players.
@@celuiquipeut6527 I play with my org. If it wasn't for them I would not play at all.
I haven't lost any faith in C.I.G. I think they're going above and beyond what companies twice their size have to offer.
@BudduhMann1 did you buy off the Gray market or Robert space industry's and did you buy a package with the game in it or just a stand alone ship.
@BudduhMann1 like the other man said, if you buy it from the grey market, there is some risk involved. from the legit store of RSI you should have evidence on your mailbox you bought them. would be easy to proof you did buy them. and iam sure they restore it very quickly.
@BudduhMann1 go to customer service and tell them, they will sort it out with no hassles,
@BudduhMann1 then you should have proof in your inbox what you have bought. i would recommend to contact customer service to restore your account. also make sure you have one full game in your account, only ships do not give you access to the game.
@BudduhMann1 it is very odd to say the least. i have to admit, this is the first time i hear this happen to someone. i hope you get your stuff back. let me know how it wend, if i can help let me know.
nothing the game is still too buggy to do anything
Early access really isn’t for everyone, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I'm similar to you in that I started playing a little over 3 years ago and love the game for what it is right now. I do have high hopes for it, but I keep them reigned in for the simple fact that this IS a very ambitious project. And it seems to grow in that ambition with every patch. I'm worried that it will end up infinitely chasing the next newest technology just to keep up with that ambition. They've made great leaps in the game since I started in 2018, and it's actually more enjoyable now, especially since they (mostly) got rid of the 30k issue. There are still bugs, and they'll be fixed, and more bugs will be introduced with the next patch, but that's the nature of a game in development.
Having said that, it's soooo worth it to play right now. If you can't find something to do, ask around. There are always people looking for a turret gunner or someone to fill a slot on a Mole. Even solo though is very rewarding. Get into mining with a Prospector and make loads of creds, buy ships you want to try out, or just hoard your wealth. But it's definitely the most enjoyable with other players.
Couldn’t agree more Robert - and yeah multiplayer is where it really comes alive. I particularly love that it’s a game where you’re not always “on”, there’s the time to have a chat and make some actual mates.
If you are into RP, seems the sky is the limit :)
This is true, tbf I did take my wife for a Valentine’s Day trip around the verse….we don’t get out much :D
Invest in a massive tech-demo.
the dude you're sitting at the table with is so buggy he can't even go 5 seconds without glitching into another dimension
I stopped watching when you said "the game is worth $45 to me"
Okay. But there are ships in the game that cost way way more. And don't give me this, you don't have to buy them crap.
People have spent thousands and thousands on this unfinished garbage and that's the only reason it's still in development is because of the gullible individuals who support this.
If everyone had your attitude and ONLY spent $45 on this game it would have ceased to exist a long time ago.
The ONLY reason the development has been able to continue is the predatory practices of selling people ships, some of which aren't even playable yet.
So everyone you say afterwards is irrelevant. It's like walking into a casino and saying oh you can just buy some tacos and play penny slots if you want and then leave.
Like sure you can but most people don't.
Most people see the new ships and keep buying into the game with the hopes that it will be better.
You stopped watching and started typing so you’re clearly passionate 😂
Purely out of interest is this as a heavily invested backer or as someone on the sidelines? When I said the $45 comment it was because I feel the debate around SC’s quality as a game at the moment is often framed in the context of whether it’s worth thousands of dollars to people.
A good friend at the time gifted me an Aurora LX game-pack back in 2015 to get me into the game because I'd been curious about it for a while, and honestly I've not been disappointed. Sure its a long wait, but I have accrued many cherished memories since then. Besides, I'm under the opinion of "I dont care how long it takes, as long as its good." So I dont mind the wait, especially since we're getting access to any progress as its made.
Too long, and they dont do enough. after 8 years all the glitches and several Major bugs have to be fixed. still a mess. I wait for the release but I'm not sure they will release the game. I hope is not a scam
@@Ягоконти many of the major bugs are tied to MP though and SQ42 is coming first with MP years away. my hope is that once they iron out the SP experience they can really iron out a proper MP.
Thanks for this. This is one of the most calm and informative videos I've seen on SC.
I'm a supporter from beginning... But 400 million is plenty of money for pretty much any video game project..if I had the cold war playability (6million) with size and sand box of....lets say 2 Gta's? (150million) then add a world every 6 months ( income from US!!!??)50$....LETS SAY..
THATS less than half the budget with 10 times the current playability...I don't want EVERYONE TOGETHER...WOW has 100 k per server..that's FINE...its tiresome and feels like a con..
People keep talking shit on it, bruh people payed 60 for cyberpunk, I paid 60 for Destiny 2. I’ve wasted more money on dumber and more unfinished games than SC, not to mention people play GACHA GAMES LIKE GENSHIN IMPACT AND WASTE LITERAL THOUSANDS, and no one bats an eye. I think 45 dollars isn’t that much for such an amazing “Scam”
Nothing lol the game will never relase and there will never be anything to do other then nothing all this game is, is looks nothing ele
[stretches after 3 hour sesh of high intensity atmo dog fighting]
Worthless empty game.
I wouldnt play that if you payed me.
Don’t worry I’m not offering to pay you.
Thank you for making this! The larger SC community seems to forget how much SC offers for the 40 quid starter package. The scope of the game TODAY is far beyond anything else offers making SC truly unique. The Reddit and spectrum warriors seem to forget this instead of taking joy in hating on something different. CIG is far from perfect and both it and the game has far to go but no one can deny the epic star citizen moments we have all had over the years.
Cheers mate, tbh I do completely understand the frustration with the announcements but I feel that it’s 90% to do with the crappy way it was presented as opposed to the content.
@@LoudGuns Communication is a huge failing area of CIG, in many many aspects. Especially, since SC is still in early alpha and a kickstarter and relying on payer/players to develop the game into a launch state.
2) the attitude CIG has taken toward their payer/players (as shown in language used in their communication)
it is like that of the falling activision-blizzard, and the falling frontier dev.
3) managment. Good management will study the progress rate of the workers/developers and provide ever increasing in accuracy estimates for deadlines and sub-deadlines for releases and such. And if errors are made, good management takes ownership of failures, blaming no one but themselves, for oversight is their perview and authority; and will communicate as such back to ALL financial backers. Such are the teachings of quality instruction in management and reflected in the types of questions asked in interviews for management positions. Even for projects that seek to do what has never been done, a 'scope..beyond anything else', for the goal is comprised of a thousand thousand doable steps, built upon what has come before.
@@idminister I think that’s all fair, I just honestly think point number 1 is the biggest - that announcement was trash.
If they had just said- “the roadmap as it exists is proving to be very distracting and demoralising to our employees. We want to reduce how far it runs into the future because forecasting further than the next patch is very hit and miss” - then I reckon we’d have a lot smaller an issue.
As someone who argues with SC trolls I can assure you it doesn't matter what CIG does or said, they will invent their own story regardless, I've had numerous haters come and abuse me on my channel because I dared to disagree with them, they're a cult, consumed with hate over a 40 dollar game because it makes them feel big, nothing CIG can do will change that, it's an alpha, it's in development, if people decide to frame everything as if they paid for a finished product as if it's the apocalypse it's on them, not the people making the game, who we should support, and do, seeing as they yet again broke sales records over the past week.
Those moments... Yes
Not much that you can do when you think about the 10 years and 400milion dolars for development!!!!
Absolutely worthless game. This game will be outdated by the time it comes out. Performance is horrible and not a single system is fully developed and properly finished. It is plagued with bugs all over the place. Love the idea but sadly, they have delivered far too little, far too late. It's a no for me.
Everything aside, this is one of the most impressive gaming projects that's been under development, like ever. You touched on the basic things but all of these scenarios have hundreds of one of a kind moments. I've had the strangest encounters ever in this game, it's hard to explain. It's like DayZ, you only really kill and survive and when you look at it like that it's bare. But when you spawn in and someone ties you to a train track the first 10 minutes and force feeds you bleach, it's insanely one of a kind immersion. SC has a lot of those moments.
It's received over $100 million in funding. Uh, yeah, it better be fucking impressive. Relatively to the money its raised, however, it's a complete scam.
@@yoursweatersux Lol, your entitled to think that. If this company is a scam to you, probably need to open your eyes a little bit. Or atleast educate yourself on where the money is going to before you make a comment like that. Also, the majority of backers have already received thousands of hours of playtime. Scam or not, most backers already got more playtime than what they would've got spending $100 on a game or two.
@@rttt159 - They've gotten over half a billion dollars to make this game.
- They've had a decade to develop it, but despite that, it's still practically barren of real content, and they're somehow still cutting shit out of the road map.
- They're literally insulting their backers, the people who gave them all that money and time to deliver, calling them "a noisy contingent" and "a distraction."
I mean.. come on, man. You can't seriously think this is acceptable behavior from a company. It absolutely is a scam until they prove otherwise.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 Yes, they got a GTA budget; and are making a game on a scale 10x of GTA, and are making all of the engines and software etc. themselves. So, yes it'll take a while, and cost a lot more then the average game. No doubt backers can be a distraction when they want stuff done in the order they think is best. As I said before, the majority of people have received hundreds and thousands of hours of gametime - scams simply cannot provide that. You can have a bad opinion about the company and the game, that's up to you and frankly noone really gives a fuck. You can always just not play the game if you don't like it.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 such is life with massive multiplayer projects. unfortunately dev time slows down much more because they have to interact with people, deal with problems, deal with bugs, deal with bugs players find, etc. that and just dealing with keeping servers operating probably consumers a ton of time, and millions of dollars per year in server costs. working under NDAs in secret like most games are made is way easier and quicker... theres a reason its usually done that way.
Stockholm syndrome is strong with this one.
@Rheumattica I don’t think you realize that you have it, Buddy.
@@Broccoli_32 you’re being held hostage by a video game and have a bond with it?
I stopped playing Destiny2 when I had to spend three hours a day minimum to level up my character and alts - playing the same daily missions trice. With SC I can spend three hours a day - mining, cargo running, bounty hunting, etc and the game is so nuanced that it’s always a different experience. Yea it’s sometimes buggy, but it’s an alpha, and the bugs occur less frequently than they did in 3.14.
For sure - sometimes I feel there’s an element of when you’re close to a project, playing everyday etc you don’t see the progress. I’ve recently been teaching an IRL mate to play though and it was when I was going “we can do this, or this, oh and this is cool” that I realised how far along things had come in the last year.
@@LoudGuns I just did a HRT, then stopped to pick up cargo, but was then killed by the Grim Hex lift bug, followed by the Orison infinite transport loop… typical SC.
You were playing destiny really wrong lol
But it's Alpha...there it is....
Nope it's the tech demo that time forgot.
CIG haven't fixed anything especially game loop bugs for a long time, months intact.
Stop finding excuses for CIG's 700 Devs ( what a meme that is ) and put pressure on CiG to provide a playable PU with all game loops working even 80% of the time.
ATM bunker missions, rescue missions, derelict space ship missions and most FPS are 80-90% bugged and game breaking requiring mission abandon or a relog.
very boring. It lacks gameplay. More ships then missions. Answer the call Tier 0!
Not much because it will take you 50-60 hours to complete your first every quest I'm on hour 50 and die to random shit every time or it bugs out
I like your commentary quite a lot, in depth and with a healthy dose of common sense, there are things i don't like about the project for sure, but what they are doing is pretty much unmatched, no other game has this degree of tech and seamless first person universe as they say, and that makes a great difference when you are playing. Subscribed and will be watching your coverage as well man, great content here.
Thanks very much mate - how proud my mother would be to hear I’m finally injecting some common sense into something!
@@LoudGuns lol 😂 well the thing is, the game is really unique despite the situation, and even though I don't play it myself, I didn't find anything like this, so yeah hope they do some better choices about how to communicate things, but the game is coming along in the end, and i like that about the patches, they always bring enough to keep it interesting.

1:25 Not going to guess when it may released for fear of looking like a Mug. I remember back in 2014, when I saw what was promised and how the pace of development was going and saying "this is going to take a lot longer then the projected release date" then getting white knighted against for merely suggesting that the project was going to take far more time then the, at the time, projected release dates.
@Rheumattica yes it is. White Knights have a problem with defending someone or some organization as if they can do no wrong, even to the point of overrunning and trampling on someone who points out a fair and credible point, such as understanding the game design process and knowing the pace of it and how a stated deadline that was announce is going too be missed and getting falsely condemned as a hater by a mob of defenders just for pointing out the realistic issue of the process and how it will lead to missing that release date.
Just like how a boyfriend would knowingly defend his girlfriend even when that Bf knows the GF made false accusations of rape against someone else. The White Knight blindly defends the person or organization they favor without regard for the truth and doesn't care who they have to destroy to do it, even if they defend a a mere shruggable mistake, intentional lying or an out right murderer.
@@brickbunny9686 no, that's not what "white knight" means. A white knight defends something or someone (that/who doesn't really need defending) in order to make themselves seem heroic. "Getting white knighted against" is also an incredibly grating use of language.
@@scepticrat Someone or something that "DOES NOT NEED DEFENDING"
I used it correctly
Pay attention too context.
Where did CIG need defending over simply pointing out how a release date was going to be missed? When the pace of development was not making the, at the time, release date reasonably possible?
My use of the term was correctly applied.
And after a flame war over a reasonable concern of the development pace, I kept getting hunted down after words.
Just for saying "Hey, this development pace doesn't look fast enough for that 'at the time' release date to happen."
grating use of language? I got flamed on message boards, shot down and my ships blown up, grieffed and harassed, just for making a valid point...
And you want to complain about "Grating use of language," when your very own definition shows I correctly applied the term?
100s of people praising a cash grab, it's insane how delusional you all are 😂
Testing the bugs
Star Citizen is evolving very good. Next big step will be base building. Base building will open the game so we can actually evolve our selfies by building our own home and station or city. The possibilities then will be thousands of times more.
i can not believe they still have no life on the planets fuck i mean they teased sandworms years ago now lol
Tried playing it again last night... crashed every time i got into the world...
I bought the game in the beginning but now when i installed it to see whats going on it errors out and doesnt start.... disappointed
lol there is some stupid hope ....when the game goes live ....lol that will be never
Player-hosted events can be some of the most fun to be had in a game. Just like old-school DnD, you can have a blast with nothing more than a good story and willing players.
You can wait forever for any meaningful feature to be added. You can also enjoy terrible physics while waiting, where the ship moves like a mouse cursor. The game is basically done, nothing meaningful added in past year+
What i can do: load this game 30 Minutes to play with 2 fps
I've never seen a game so loved and hated at the same time lmao
finally a video that shows the truth and the facts about SC, i too pledged in 2014 and this game is pretty much the best one iv played and it has come a looooong way from what it used to be.
Lol, this is basically a shitty No Man's Sky. Just think about that...especially considering how shitty NMS was at launch. Mining, space battles, all shit that NMS did years ago.
Sure the graphics I feel are much better here but the fact that anyone is spending money on a literally unfinished game is like buying No Mans Sky at launch fo $100.
You Star Citizen Simps need to quit the cope.
@@MyJourneyConcludes the two games you are comparing are nothing alike even now, i think star citizen is way more complex (even tho i agree that for the amount of money they raised they should be in more than beta now) no man's sky is basically an arcade game and star citizen does everything in a seamless and detailed way so just from there i think you can't compare the two. And the graphics aren't better in Star Citizen, it's just a different style, No man's sky opted for a stylised environment while SC wanted to go on realism.
I also agree on the simps problem, but let's be honest if they weren't there there would'nt even be an SC right now. The developement team did go that far because of them.
I feel alot of new people to the game recently are younger and don't care much for the slow gameplay loops like mining, box missions, cave missions, so basically they come for the PvP and if they're not a fairly good pilots they end up being griefers.
Luckily enough the game still needs some kind of skill and its not so easy to be a griefer than in gta online for example and the biggest part of the community really is awesome
exactly. with so many other break-neck paced games out there these days, I can totally see younger kids getting impatient with it. But honestly, I like it because of the more mellow nature of it (at least if you so choose). I find it quite pleasant to kick back, relax, and listen to some music or a stream while running some cargo, or mining, and so forth.
I think the main problem with Star Citizen is that #1 it's too ambitious and subsequently not profitable. If it were possible and profitable, Triple A companies would've made it already. #2 is that so many people have invested so much money into the game that they can't afford to see the game go to ruin and because of this, Squadron 42 has no pressure from investors to meet deadlines.
Lack of motivation to complete in a timely manner, mostly because of lack of incentive from income growing despite setbacks and developmental delays. Hell, they have a subscription monthly based service, purchasable in-game ship weaponry and select ship skins through their website paid with IRL money, AND merchandise despite the game being nowhere near complete.
So long as people shoulder the time spent just waiting, keep subscribing/paying for in-game content with real cash and continue not pushing against lack of transparency; this game will never be complete, because it's a perfect honey pot.
Star Citizen is definitely ambitious, but I think that's why it will always secure income from backers and investors. In an industry where AAA titles have no ambition or passion, Star Citizen will always have a place, even if it is at times a buggy mess.
Well done LG. We are backers for, as you said a "blue Sky" project - its still very much in progress - its not a 'game'. Spend what ya like to back knowing that it goes to fund the development of what could well be the best damm game ever...if you don't like it, fine. walk away and stop bitching is my attitude. In the meantime, I'll fly around, trading, mining, having a blast!
I can understand why some folks are a bit upset, but honestly I think 90% of the issue was a bit of poor communication from CIG. Give it another month or two and most of it will have been forgotten about.
Shit, i thought i was greeded by AC/DC at the beginning
Sadly you just get my own compositions :D
You get a thumbs up 59 seconds in just for the statement "Frankly I don't think we need another video about that"
Haha, mostly a case of not thinking I could add anything to that particular convo than had already been said. Also, I’d have to pretend I’d paid much attention to the roadmap before this all changed :D
Don't forget roasting s'mores on your computer
Started this game the other day. I can say I’m not a space game fan but wow. Changed my mind completely. This is the first game I can say actually is worth even 100 euro. I bought the 45 euro version and then did not play it for 2 years because of pc being crap until now I upgraded to a high extrem end pc. :) brilliant game extremely atmospheric.
What's even fun about it?
@@indigo7387 game offers allot compared to many trip A games. Everyone is different.
For me it’s the details, the sense of just going places. Not knowing what could happen. (Maybe my game crashes again).
Why do people like Euro truck simulator?? Same thing, for some it chills people out.
Some people have more imagination than others.
Wow, pvp battles in 10 fps - no thanks
It takes 20 minutes just to load into the game.
i can’t even play it cuz it turns into a black screen everytime i launch it and it’s not my almost 2k worth pc
delete user folder
Game is not optimized, with a i-9.12900kf and. 3090 im having 30fps. 40fps at best. And bugs on every corner, random ship explosions and so on. Whyy would u wanna play this?
kinda like every alpha?
You're looking for a polished experience. SC isn't for you then (yet). ED & NMS may be a better fit?
Anything you want!..... at 20 fps
No faith in CiG marketing and execs mixed faith in game devs ability to deliver on such a poorly managed project, serious CiG hire some real professionals to direct production and let CR dream up stuff in his office stop the Feature Creature.
Project management does seem like it could use a shot in the arm!
half a billion for a community hub x
It's pretty wallet poison
Me getting 10fps with a RTX 3050ti LOL
Tbf in my personal experience improving RAM made way more difference than improving GPU. That said it's all due to poor optimization given the current state of the game.
When I first read about Star Citizen and their ambitious dream, it helped me to think about Star Citizen as less of a game, and more of a potential Meta-verse. That's really helped me to enjoy it a lot more than I otherwise might have. Yes, it needs so much more work and development, so much more content... but on the scale of things Star Citizen is like The Death Star rebuild from Return of the Jedi compared to the Millennium Falcon in size and scope. It's massive, and not yet fully operational. But when it is, and it very well could be 2030 before it's ever fully realized, it will be capable of destroying all the competition in one swift stroke.
Star citizen, EVE, and elite dangerous will all be more than whatever Bezos is putting out.
@@thefatbob3710 *no man’s sky also. And hopefully starfield.
@@platonymous yessir sci fi mmos are the future
I hate the meta verse. Personally I hate that comparison. Star citizen has the potential to change gaming as a whole.
It’s just a simulator..
Nothing, lose money and be in very temporary awe at the distances. Nothing more star citizen is trash af
I've been following SC for years, but haven't played it yet. I'm excited for the day it's finished and playable.
I’ve only ever heard bits and pieces over the years!
you're gonna be able to fuck off to mars before this shit is finished lol
When I look at this game, I only see wojaks trying to convince everyone that it's a real game rather a scam.
You can spend money. Enjoy!
I building a pc for this game but I’m not sure if 3060 ti, ryzen 7 5800X,16gb ram is a good build for this
I’m no expert - all I can say for sure is it’s very ram heavy. If you can I’d go to 32gb.
on my 3080 + 10900k i have serrious stuttering in cities. 4K resolution
@@miroslavchladny983 what’s your ram like? I noticed a night and day difference when I added another 16gb to get to 32gb.
@@LoudGuns 32 gb 4300 Mhz .. i don think this is problem... my rig is for Valve index and many heavy games work fast as hell
@@miroslavchladny983 yeah tbf it’s worst in the cities - realistically the game just isn’t well optimised yet, so even beastly rigs will struggle at times with it.
Anyone trying to act like this game is fun or is even a game is lying to themselves. This is not a game, and the developers should be held responsible for still not having a game to play.
One of the joys of life is that we don’t all enjoy exactly the same things. The bit that confuses me is the amount of very angry people who still watch loads of SC content just to drop comments like this….like if I decide I’m done with a game I just move on.
@@LoudGuns the saddest part is people scour youtube for SC video's, not watch them and post comments like @joshua did. :]
The game is just too slow imo. Its boring to *play*.
That’s fair - there’s a saying that I like (even if it’s outdated since nobody smokes anymore) - “different smokes for different folks”. Personally I like where the grind is set and where I think it’ll go - but the most important thing I realise as I get a bit older is that it’s more important to enjoy what you’re doing as opposed to just trying to beat the game. If the actual gameplay isn’t interesting I’m not going to grind to “get past it” like I would’ve in the past when I had a lot more time available to play games.
Just the fact that we’ve come so far that we have a persistent universe now that isn’t wiped every patch like we used to deal with is enough reason to jump in and enjoy yourself
To be fair that persistence between patches was the point I really got into this game, I occasionally loaded it up and had a look around before that but that was the key for me.
Fuck all after 10 years.
SC is a visually great game but the grind that is required to get to where you want to be is somewhat comparable to War Thunder but with the addition of losing everything if you dont do it right
edit: not literally everything
Yeah, sadly. I wish they would bring the price down for the smaller ships instead of EVERY SHIP being 1 million+
How do you lose everything?
@@zhadowmoon5811 they do resets every now and again. They're hoping when they get Server meshing up they can get a more persistent gameplay. But theres also items like ship guns vanishing, Armor, the works. Ships rarely vanish from inventory but a quick character reset usually gets them back.
@@themeddite I’ve heard you can lose your inventory and stuff when you die or something how does that work? Can you grind for a cool armor and just lose it? Also if your ship get destroyed and your just floating in space what do you do? Is your ship permanently destroyed?
@@zhadowmoon5811 so far if your ship gets blown up you can just claim it for free and wait a given amount of time. If you have armor in a ship and it blows up you loose the armor. If you die with armor on you can retrieve it from your body. But armor while pricey is cheap to replace. With most full heavy armor sets running 10k but you can just loot armor from dead AI.
But they are planning to add a ship insurance system. They haven't talked too much about it but it sounds like elite dangerous where you pay a fraction of the ships price to get it back and ships will be much harder to destroy by then. So you will most likely be able to limp your ship to a station.
if you have a good gaming computer and great internet and love space exploration and stuff then I suggest the game. It's a VERY beautiful game. The problem I had was it only was fun for a week. :(
I feel bad there are only a couple of days left to try the game for free, because it looks really intriguing, even with limitations considered. The community sounds amazing.
after you explore all the cities and ships you will get bored very quickly since the actual gameplay is the same thing over and over again. that being said its really awesome and fun the first time you play and explore
I backed 2 games at the same time many years ago
Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous ...
Got Elite Dangerous as specified on time many years ago.
Where is my original single player game i pledged for.
All i see is a Tesco's in Space for Chris Roberts to make a bit more cash.
Just think October 2022 it will be ten years since the Kickstarter began. We use to joke about it taking ten years for it to come out. Never imagined it was going to take twenty. Of course we do have the Alpha still to play around in.
I want to enjoy this game sooo sooo bad but I have no clue what to do and I purchased a ship and everything. I'm stuck on home world. Also its stuck on 60 fps or less I think, even when settings are low af and my PC is far from bad lol
I just wish i could play it. I'm on a 2080ti, and still cant play it at more that 37 FPS at 1440p
For just a second I thought the music was Stevie T's rendition of the new Green Day album.
bug citizen
If you don't have a PC that could successfully be used by NASA to launch a capsule to the space station, Dont bother buying into it. The concept of the game is beyond everything else on the current market, if your happy being hit by bugs & constant fps drops then be my guest. Also as a reference my rig is the following AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, 64GB ram at 3600MHz & a ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3090 24GB.
I love this game and yes there are glitches. Loud Guns, the server crash is currently losing my cargo loads. Logging out in bed can bring you back under the surface of a moon or even at the sun. I'm hanging on for new developments. $45 is nothing for the amount of fun it pays back. Visually the game is stunning. It's truly immersive.
How many hours roughly have you played so far? I bought Space Engineers for $20 bucks and have close to 2k hours so that was a good investment.
@@tomc8157 I've been playing for almost two years...it's my primary entertainment. $45 is a great investment too...so much so that I bought a few ships with real money so that I can enjoy the game even more. The community is awesome too.
What can you actually do in Star Citizen? You can play for bit,then take 20 giant steps backwards!! CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!!
By the time this game comes out, I'll finally be able to afford a PC powerful enough to run it.
This game will never make it because progress is too slow, by the time something gets finished something else is outdated and needs to get updated again. Stuck in a vicious circle of incompletion until they run out of money.
I really can't get into this game because of the performance. I'm on the 5600x, 6800, 32gb and on nvme yet the game runs like trash...
Crash, loose inventory, ship fail to spawn and lots of lag. Same as always. My grandkids are going to enjoy this game in 15-20 years. My $240 ship will be worth tens of thousands with inflation... They can sell my account and pay for college.
Still haven't fixed the absolutely horrid fps and optimization. Can play every modern game at 60 fps but star citizen I still get 10 fps in that stupid bed. People supporting this game are ones that have so much money they don't know what to do with it. Those are the only people capable of running this game because they spend tons of money on a computer that can run this trash. They should of been focusing on making sure their players can actually PLAY the game rather than coming out with ships and charging insane amounts of money for just that, pixels.
Its a joke and the ones who are still constantly supporting them only feed into the mentality of the developers thinking this is all okay. It isn't, and all of you are being scammed like never before. This game has made accumulated more money than most popular mainstream games and it still runs HORRIBLE, after how many years? I don't think I have ever heard of or seen a bigger joke in gaming history, and the most hilarious part is they are pulling the wool over most of your eyes just like 343 did with Halo Infinite and its "free to play" multiplayer.
In other words it's like every other MMO with fed-ex missions, find missions, and kill em missions. No crafting, no building your own ships and you are stuck with the ship you bought for real $$ unless you want to shell out more real $$ to get another ship. They received 300 million dollars in funding and this is the crap they came up with? A pay to win?
Well, it looks cool... until you fall down an elevator shaft.... get shot up by some idiot for no reason.... get something stuck to you that you cannot get rid of.... Try to do a mission only to have someone steal your ship.... but it looks cool... $45 wasted. How long does an "Alpha" stay that way? Maybe I'll try back in a few years.
Length is 1337. Lol
Hahaha that is priceless and entirely coincidental :D
what kinda pc specs is needed to run this?. Ive been really tempted to get into SC for a few years now. I was subscribed to SC wayback before it was playable. Would love to get into mining/exploration, onlything that is holding me back is the resets. But if its not that often now im thinking i should give it a go soon. Also, is it playable with mouse and keyboard?, or is joysticks needed?
