BRANDON AND ANDY SHOT THE VIDEO! Alex P was just trying to make Riley look extra good because he also did an amazing job on the edit. But you, dear viewer, you're the real star. *blows kiss*
Riley always be lookin extra good🥵
Yay! Awesome work everyone, especially Riley!
Thank you Riley I love you!!!
@@sushimshah2896 bonk go to horny jail
Great video and filled with a couple hard laughs. I laughed like I laugh in stand-ups...head lowered with hand across my brow, covering my face in shame. Kidding. You definitely have an affinity for comedy.
Hope to see more of these.
Riley: "Guys, this was a crazy video to make..Who's idea was this?"
Director: Riley Murdock Host: Riley Murdock Writer: Riley Murdock Shooter: Riley Murdock Art Director: Riley Murdock
Gee I don't know
i now question if he was the only person in the room
Maybe there are really 5 Riley Murdocks
It’s all Edzel’s fault!
My money is on Anthony!!!
Probably Dennis.
I bought Star Citizen for me and my son when he was a 3rd grader, yesterday he got he's final grades from the gymnasium. I watched him grow from a sweet little boy to a teenager to a man, in the same time frame Star Citizen went from a alpha game to a still alpha game
The worst of all is that you are not even lying 🤣🤣
Lmao
Thats crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
*cough cough* beamng development... but I do really like how they make everything perfect before moving on, it makes the game's strengths be the best ever.
But it was so worth the wait. Just like Cyberpunk.🙄
once the game is actually released and if it ends up being really good, i can see myself going all in and getting a flight stick and all that
Your reflexes will never be the same a the age of 63...
@@ConsensusX Yeah and even so the game will still be alpha
Honestly, if you are even considering it, there is more than enough in there for you to go in now. There is enough content already... the problem is that it often bugs in many ways. But... it would take a long time to describe in detail... it already is the best game ever. And you can see it and play it. Just in a buggy and unfinished way... But its completely in a different league than anything I have ever seen before... its incredible what actually works in the game.
@@ConsensusXCrying with laughter at your comment man
@@psychepeteschannel5500 it's an unplayable grating mess be honest. a fucking computer monitor in game bugged out and killed me. my flash drive must have told it i don't safely eject them.
My cousin backed this game near the beginning, and he would frequently tell me all about what new tech they had just unveiled. He played the alpha and loved it but wanted very much to play the final game. He died from cancer this year after all that time. I can't help but feel angry about it. He'll never have the chance after so, so long.
Sorry for your loss man. I can understand but isn't this life? Instead of being angry at SC, be happy that it existed to give him so much joy and something to look forward to regardless.
Also sorry for your loss Gun. I was going to say something but what Gabzsy said was perfect so I'll leave it at that.
i’m sorry for your loss
I mean if it made him happy what's the issue? I enjoy following the development, regardless of what happens tomorrow.
It ducks your cousin passed away, but being mad at CIG because they didn’t finish a game he liked is pretty fucking dumb man
My grandkids are going to be so thankful when I leave them that $40 backer package in my will and they get to play the beta.
ScamStarter thanks you for your contribution.
You mean, your* grand-grandkids?
What are we? BACKERS!
What do we do? WE BACK PEOPLE!
oh wrong channel
I wonder who there audience will be...What is the game even about and what to do in the void of a giant planet system...Tbh seems boring.
@@SimonOpsi SO. LETS. GO. MU-BACK THEM.
"This is so fucking good what the hell Riley." "Oh wait tbf maybe he's just hosting" "Nope, he was also the cameraman and art director"
This is the kinda thing Riley would be making if he were a solo content creator and I'm glad LMG allowed him to access their resources for this project.
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep hope they let him do more of these
Star Citizen free to try until June 1st
Dude, stop using quotation marks like that. It makes no sense.
@@CatChrist I thought the advertising was ifixit? You trolling the game just trashed in the comments? 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😒🤣
I need a 1 year update to this please. Oh and one for every year after that too please.
That IS free content for the next 50 years, very smart!
@@Skyflairl2p and then after those 50 years they can do annual videos about the progress of the game after it goes into beta.
maybe every 5 years or so
If you need an yearly update, you'd be updated 13 times.
its actually gotten quite a bit better in the past year or two
I was on the "it's a scam" bandwagon, until over a month ago when I saw a video of all the stuff you can do in the game currently. I bought it and tried it out, I was initially frustrated by how little you are told on how to play (none) before heading out into the universe, but after I had learnt the basics I actually had some fun, experienced some mind breaking bugs, but I am really really loving the game right now, if they could fix the bugs in the game right now I could play it as it is for several years. But they are doing that and adding more features and types of gameplay, so I think this is my jam for a long time.
When I was a teenager I had a dream that there would be a game where many people could come together and crew a star ship like star trek, calling down to deck 22 for more power, and someone climbing through a Jeffrey's Tube to fix a damaged system to bring the shields back online to save the day... While this isn't that just yet, it is quickly becoming that, that is why I love it.
O7😊
Welcome to the verse o7

This was probably the best explanation of Star Citizen I've ever been witness to. You can really tell Riley is a fantastic detective and writer.
Similar to Batman,... mhhhhhhh.
Yeah, one of the view videos that show all sides of this.
SC is such a riddle, it is the best and greatest game of all time, and the worst run wreckage of a project ever, at the same time.
@@MichaelDeGar and why is that?
@@MichaelDeGar You're a scam :P
@@KungLiGaming hey man
18:58 "But Linus, is more troll now than man."
Best quote of 2021.
taking the wind out of the sails "man" -> "then"...
Best
YOu are the best Riley. Can we please get t-shirts with this?!
RIP lol
@@Fennek_Kaipii You are just wrong though, he objectively clearly and without mistake said "man".
One of the best video essays I've watched on RUclips. I kept coming back to this even though I've watched it many times before.
Played the game for the first time this week. It’s pretty fun. I’m mostly interested in the immersion. I like that I can move around in my ship - as well as manipulate panels inside.
Also, the ships control system - while it took me some time to get used to it - is pretty unique, and actually quite good once I get the hang of it.
The only thing I don’t like is the “you’re on your own” kind of feeling when you start.
My first game I played about an hour and a half, but half of that time was trying to figure out where my ship was, and how to take off. So…half the time I was on RUclips looking for tips. lol
Same heeere 😩🤣🤣🤣.. we need to meet up there
@@sandiggaz8647 Haha I'm sure so many people are in the same boat.
I remember going to my ship, and being like...uhhh....wtf do i do.
And one time I was in the air, and fumbled, and turned off power, and i fell like a rock to the ground. hahaha
I didn't expect this level of quality in this video. Who ever hired Riley made a good decision.
@@MichaelDeGar SCAM = SPACE CINEMATIC ADVANCED MMO, yeah you are right hater
@@MichaelDeGar You might wanna grow up a bit there, champ. You know there's a whole world outside your window, yeah? Don't have to just paste the same comment in reply to literally everyone on a RUclips video. There's more to life. Trust me.
@@sIenderrr If the game comes out I will probably try it out otherwise I don't care if it comes out or not.
They got him out of a dumpster lol
Riley made this in conjunction with a team, however he’s done a fantastic long pieces before in the past before joining LTT
Killing Linus because he got a gun and then him pressing charges against you. Wtf I'm laughing so hard.
That's very uncanadian of Linus. Is he American?
*pressing charges after you've been murdered*
_IQ LEVEL 6000_
Trolling Linus is the only reason I'm still a Star Citizen of the UEE.
Linus clipping through the ship and then breaking all the Ship UI simply by pressing the elevator buttons a lot was Gold.
Linus is keeping his employees in line and hard way.
Thank you for encapsulating the whole, big story here. Looking forward to more content like this.
I lowkey spent hundreds of hours playing freelancer back in the '00s and early 10's. I'm definitely excited for a full release of star citizen.
If I could like this twice i would
_If_ it ever releases, that is.
When I first played Freelancer it occurred to me that its model had loads of potential.
I still have the Freelancer game disc haha.
@@ConsensusX I’m not sure I ever had a legal copy, but I played they hell out of it
Really great video Riley, thanks for letting me be a part of it!
OG 🙋
I like to keep SC on the back burner. But this video has me wanting to get back into it.
I love that they got you as their guide - SC these days need someone experience to unpack most of the complex stuff that you need to learn at start
Indeed 😀
Great video indeed. They missed the fact that they're not using cryengine anymore tho.
The lesson here is to never play coop games with Linus.
I think that is the main take-away
I don't know. Seems like he would be a "perfect" Portal 2 partner...
He should play with Sovietwomble and the rest of ZF. It would be hilarious.
I hate people who act like this when you trying to do something. You want an epic adventure, but this guy decided to shoot up everyone for shits and giggles..
Honestly, he was being a dick about it.
I dig the in depth style here..I think there's definitely room for more videos like this, regardless of what the numbers end up being!
Normally i wouldn't sit through a whole video like this but you kept doing such a great job conveying the info I had to watch it all. I look forward to more of your videos of this style
~salute~
“What’s this TechLonger episode about?
[Watches episode]
“I have received my education for the day! Please make more episodes like this?”
WOW, the way Riley delivered both side's perspective is just smooth and accurate...
It's not really sides, it's a spectrum (that joke was intended).
@@informitas0117 lol exactly cus he did say it can't really be simplified to two sides

Squadron 42 finally got a trailer at 2023 citizen con
It's everything Starfield wishes it could be
Starfield is a bad game, but at least starfield is actually... You know... A real game.
@@cray986 star citizen is too? with more features than starfield
@@cray986 yeah yeah a "real game" with almost 8 years of development on that should've been delayed even more to be released as a complete and more polished game, how awesome right???
If you like those kind of "real" games, its on you. I want Sq42 and SC to be fully finished and polished experiences...
I am 1.5k in starcitizen. I have played non stop for a year. This is the most accurate review. Captivating and hilarious! what a great video!
Riley's acting and drama effects are underrated. I really enjoy his comedic style and quirks.
should definitely do standup if he hasn't already
"CouldaHadYang" is the perfect example of hater. Copy and pasting the same exact message, what a pathetic existence...
His quirks & features.
This longer format definitely gives Riley more room to flex his comedic and communication muscles. Great content, looking forward to the next one.
"Ma don't buy a ship!"
Indeed. His awkwardness is amplified from 1080p to 4K
And investigative journalistic skills.
Yes - here I am 2 years after this video was produced and it's still in alpha. There are original backers to the game who have died waiting for it to be finished.
Same with people waiting on GTA 6.
Happens to every large game with preorders
Some people always die waiting for a game, that's life, and I assure you that Star Citizen is not the one with the highest number of "waiters"...
I love the tech longers, this one in particular is super interesting. More please
This is probably the best thing Riley has ever done. It feels like a really well researched project of passion.
Came to say much of the same. Wondering where the other content like this is because I was hooked. It was like a tech documentary and I loved it. Learned a lot of stuff about Star Citizen I don’t think I would’ve learned otherwise. For example I had no idea they’ve fundraised over 350 million dollars for the game. Which is wild considering fans are doing most or all of the funding?
Exactly, this is the sort of content we need more of. You can tell he put a lot of effort in and came across unbiased and professional while still having fun.
I loved this video. I thought I might channel hop after 5 mins but I was hooked to the end. Linus, give him a raise! :)
@@MichaelDeGar stfu. it's not a scam. They are literally doing something that can finally be done. a real, reactive, non-scripted world in an MMO setting. When this is completed, it will be one of the most immersive games in gaming.
They are doing what other games have only dreamed of doing with stupid claims of open-world BS. And in the process, inventing some really good tech to make it work.
@@SeraphX2 its been close to ten years and nearly $400 million in funding. The game should have been done years ago with that kind of budget. But it's not and falls into obscurity pretty quickly due to it's lack of anything to do, it's boring and yes the definition of Scam is exactly whats going on here. like it or not idc.
This video was so captivating that it didn’t even feel like ~26 minutes had passed.
Oh shit. I didn’t realize either.
Yea great video! I enjoyed it so much it was like a blink of an eye lol
Wtf i was like okay that was good 5 minutes, then I read this comment WTF that felt so quick
yeah riley will do that to you... he's the most entertaining on LTT.
yup, went to grab sandwich before watching and I totally forgot to eat it - really amazingly done and I'll love to see more TechLonger
This was very well done Riley! An very informative! Keep up the good work.
This is such a great video! Love this new format, I need mooooore!
Riley: Hey Linus, I have a great idea for a 25 minute long Star Citizen video
Linus: Humm, well it's not really feasible, the only way it could happen is if you did nearly everything yourself
Riley:
And then he proceeds to troll all the time while Riley tries to collect footage and test features.
And he fuckin NAILED it
Linus is a spoiled brat, everyone knows it by now
Whatever Linus is paying Riley, he deserves it and more. He basically did everything in this video and it's really compelling to watch and well polished.
Linus is such an ungrown kid. No wonder all the business in LMG has been running by his wife all the time.
Hell yes. I'd never heard of the game before and didn't think I cared but I watched the whole thing because it was pretty engaging throughout
@@fffUUUUUU you are aware that 'Linus' the host is deliberately turned up to 11?
@@CED99 or turned down lol
This was interesting! Great content, hope to see more of these deep dives.
Happy 1 year anniversary to the first TechLonger and one of my favorite videos
3:34 This is an incredible citation because Gamers Nexus was a short form gaming channel that became a long form tech channel, and now TechLinked is a short form tech channel dipping its toes into long form gaming content.
This looks like what Riley wanted to make his RUclips to be. I'm glad they are giving him his platform!
I really want to see more TechLonger videos. The view count should show how promising it is for this concept, we've been at around four months since the last one it seems.
Please, more of this !
Wait, this is great. More TechLonger please
Riley : I had to get my Star Citizenship.. or at least a travel visa."
Me: *Likes the video because of that.*
I really hope he got his pilot's license too
@@MichaelDeGar That's your opinion, and you're welcome to it
I loved this video so much. I think I have watched more than 10 times already. I hope you release videos like this in the future.
I love the customer profile roleplays. The mom on the phone conversation was pure brilliance.
This was phenomenal, Riley. The research, the writing, the delivery, and of course the humor… well done. I would love to see more of this style of video essay. Top notch work :)
This was obviously an ad for Star Citizen. Kind of disappointed in LTT actually.
meanwhile on LTT...
Linus is pooring water on his aircooler: "does it run cooler now?"
@@oryan2 lol really? He pointed out bloated development, ridiculously expensive ship microtransactions, accusations of fund misappropriation... Not a very effective ad lol
@@meatisomalley I beg to differ. Con men always know what they're doing. Simple misdirection. I'd be willing to bet there is an NDA somewhere on the books as well.
@@oryan2 Good thing a tinfoil hat is very light, otherwise your brain mass might get affected even more by wearing that thing all day.
Riley I hope you read this:
Thank you. Every single piece of coverage on Star Citizen has been either a hit piece or gushing love into the system. You peeled back the layers and talked about what the project is and what it isn't. I knew you would produce some amazing coverage of this topic when I saw Morphologist's video and you did not disappoint.
Thank You.
watched early on floatplane, we need more techlongers
This game is the greatest game ever
@@MichaelDeGar hey man, just wanted to remind you that you're spamming "this game is a scam" at the comment section of an unbiased 30 minute documentary of it. Riley's research in the video clearly gives people all the information they need to come to a nuanced opinion, I don't think your spam 5-word comments will make them change their minds.
@@MichaelDeGar P.S. still being an Andrew Yang fan, now? That's not a very cool look.
Eh, I just really don't agree with the main project manager. I don't think Chris Roberts is actively trying to scam anyone, but his direction and tactics are not good at all, and in a way, that's just as bad.
Nice video and thanks for not throwing SC under the bus but giving a fair take. I joined as a backer in early 2014 and briefly checked it out, came back in 2015 for a moment, and again in 2018, but didn't start playing for longer than a week until October of this year. I am blown away by it. Even in Alpha, and especially with the latest patches, the game has improved considerably. It's so much fun now. Can't wait for the next few patches.
4:26 Remember back when "Metaverse" was only a little cringe?
video essay from tech linked? Hosted by Riley? IT'S REALLY GOOD? We need more of this
I saw the video was posted yesterday, but wasn't interested. After watching this it's probably the most enjoyable LMG video i've seen.
@@MichaelDeGar the video literally discussed everything related to the game and if it's a scam or not. it's not.
@@MichaelDeGar that's not how it works...
@@MichaelDeGar get out of the commentary troll
@@MichaelDeGar k so don't support it, have a fun life
This was a very well balanced look at what Star Citizen is, past, present and future. Not sugar coated and not a shameful hit piece. And you kept it factual. Well done!
I'm just waiting on when the Mustangs cargo actually works cus I got it for cargo but can't use it
@@kingket4 For what it's worth, you can't manually put stuff in it but you can buy cargo at trade terminals and that cargo will be correctly attributed as being in the ship. I think it's something about needing to have physics grids for a ship that can exist outside the boundary of that ship. Or something like that. They need it for some other ships too.
@@MichaelDeGar question. Are you typing that out each time or just using copy and paste?
@@somethinglikethat2176 pay him 1000 dollars and he ll make the best magic wand ever that will create happiness for everyone, if you don t you re a hater and you hate people
Try playing elite dangerous odyssey , much better game
As a casual Tarkov player who is also looking to start playing Star Citizen(my rig is not good enough to run SC rn unfortunately so I'm saving up. Also, I need to upgrade my tarkov to Edge of Darkness first), I must say even if all this might be a scam, the very fact that you can actually pay and play the promised product is more than enough content. Even AAA games live and die shorter than Star Citizen or Tarkov has ever been in development. Community is something I really get attached to. In my experience, I equally love and embrace both games and love hanging out with their respective communities. Even if these games never come out, I know for a fact that I had and I will continue to have great memories and I can easily say that money well spent.
I need more techlongers goddammit
"Poor Linus is more Troll than man now". Best quote in any TL video.
Yeah Linus sucks
Riley - "We need to do the pre-flight checklist. Load the navigation info and make sure our flight manifest is submitted properly."
Linus - " Leeeeroyyy Jennnkinsss!!!! "
That part where you try to stop your mother from buying a ship had me laughing. Great work.
As someone who just transferred over from years of ED to SC, yeah it's a buggy mess.
But it's also got far more content and interaction than ED even in this state.
Genuine transition from atmo to space while ED has a few second hiccup between space and "surface/light atmospheric" transition and all land able moons are quite barren.
You may find an interesting rocky formation but it's all procedural generated with no artistry mixed in whatsoever.
The game loop is also far more tedious in the sense of the INSANE number of painstaking resource gathering for suit and ship upgrades so you can remain equal and competitive.
ED would be far more fun and accessible if the grind was eased up, in the way that materials were more plentiful to find instead of aimlessly roaming around a moon in an SRV for an hour, shooting rocks to collect for the next level of pulse laser damage.
It's a shame because I truly love ED and by far it's sound design is simply the most eargasmic experience in all of gaming.
The ship UI is so simple and easy to get used to and is laid out quite effectively.
SC just looks more modern, has more controls, there is a dynamic flight model for atmo and space which changes the physics of all ships in the game.
It's just got so much more thought, detail and complexity put it and that's why I think this project has taken so long to get here.
No game out there has attempted something of this scale.
I mean, GTA V comes to mind with its attention to miniscule detail and that had a hell of a budget, but SC is something special.
There is even visual damage that impacts flight characteristics and performance... Guys.... This is a physics engine simulating a game.
Not a game simulating physics.
My only real objection at the moment are the bugs in the alpha.
The clipping issues in particular and the missing objects/mission critical components/ items.
It would be a far more palatable experience, if they spent just a bit of time to flatten out the bugs and have a stable experience - i think most people would agree that they would even be willing to further tolerate the release date if it weren't for the bugs and glitches.
Either way, I'm liking it so far for the potential that it has.
It's truly inspiring.
dinnertable talks in 10 years: "My father backed this game, i backed this game when i was your age...and you will back the game and become a star citizen damnit!!!"
I lol'd more than I should have. *polishes the Grand Admiral certificate*
In 30 years they will need to remake the matrix movie.
Change the setting from earth 2000s, to starcitizen.
Fun fact youngest legal kickstart back to this game is 27 this year!
7% of original backers will have died waiting for this game to come out already!
Technology has moved on so much the specs on this game mean by the time it comes out a onboard intel GPU will be able to run it!
@@BadFoodBlog Well PS5 still cant handle it so we are good for another 5 years.
edit: But its kind of fallacious to think 70 year olds Backed star citizen. That 7% figure is maybe 1%
@@tilemacro People don't just die from old age. So he may be correct.
I love when Riley gets money to do things he loves. It always turns out great
I lost it at "star foreigners" lmao. Overall an extremely well done video that's honest and does a great job of highlighting why this alpha is as successful as it is: 10/10. I personally can't think of another game that can frustrate the hell out of me and still make me feel excited to jump back into it. There have been plenty of times where I don't even really "play" but just explore and take in the beauty of the 'verse.
This guy is a great commenter. I think I like everyone that does presentations on this channel. Keep up the great work guys.
Wow Riley, this was one of the best journalism work that I’ve seen
at LTT ever. Congratulations Riley! Great work!

@@Labib-dw1lk it's a new format theybare trying: TechLong
This series need to continue.
Keep these vids coming!
Star Citizen feels like a game I would pitch to my mates in high school:
"What if it was like GTA, right? But you could, like, enter ALL the buildings! And it was also in space and you could fly to other planets! And the weapons you drop will always stay there! And the gunshots will never disappear from walls and stuff!"
Shooting a physical projectile into space is also a thing. Should they track and trace that as it makes its way across the star system? Maybe it hits someone standing on a space station on the other side weeks later. If this game aims at being a simulator, that has to be programmed in.
@@MichaelDeGar I am playing that "fantasy" right now :) Please, get a better arguement other than scAaAAAAAm11!!! next time.
@@alexn8219 this seems to be the major issue causing to polarised opinions.
Critics see a game that's 7 years past it's due date and still in alpha, while fans are playing a beautiful buggy mess of an enjoyable game. The whole "you'll never play it" vs the "I'm playing now" point of views are probably not reconcilable.
@@Rickbearcat I think most people accept that there is a certain level of fidelity that no video game will ever hope to achieve. That's clearly on that level. On the other hand, I would expect that if I left a spaceship flying through space that it should eventually crash (should it be captured by a planet's gravity well) into a planet and I should be able to find it there. That's not presently in the game, but is at least theoretically achievable with the vision they've presented.
@@KindredBrujah ...It depends on where you pointed your spacecraft, or bullet, for that matter, on what happens to that object. Pointed in the plane of the solar system, there is a small chance that it would be captured by a planet and eventually fall to its ground. Same with a bullet (projectile). But, if aimed perpendicular to the plane, there would be no chance of it hitting anything within that solar system, save the ort cloud objects encircling the solar system. But, no one would be there to see or experience its effects. The question then becomes, do you despawn objects that have no chance of interaction to save on system resources or let it travel its course until it reaches the edges of the program? I don't like to suspend my belief of things in a Sim-style game.
I purchased this Alpha after your video and I love it. I do think this is the foundation for a real life Ready Player One. I have no issues sleeping in my ship now.
Same I am also thinkig like that if it comes as promises it will be ready player one... just we have to make gaming pods just like movie and it will be futuristic virtual second life thing

People are critical and say it's been in development for 9 years but when you look at the size of the studio over time and the content in their updates it seems more like 5-6.
I really liked how this was a rundown of Star Citizen from someone who doesn't appear to be a fan or hater. I'd like to see more content like this. Including eventually a follow up to this in say 1-2 years.
Just replay it in 1-2 years and it will be the same.
@@tomasgoes lol.. felt the burn man 🤣
If you look back 2 years the game feels completely different, I usually play the game a few weeks or days every year and the progress is definitely there. It really can be an enjoyable experience with some friends, so if you are already invested I would encourage you to have some fun with it, and if not you have to decide whether you want to flip that coin.
I want to see SC release, I really want to buy the full release
@@pluto419 I want to see it release but I don't know if I'll ever buy it. Their current funding makes me extremely concerned that it's going to have one of the most predatory pricing models imaginable.
huge fan of tech quick and tech longer also been playing star citizen for the last 2 years and anyone who's really played it for any length of time gains a beautiful love hate relationship with it where you get really fed up but just cant stay away
Star citizen running on Block Chain is my utopian dream
I bought the game for 70bucks somewhere back in 2016. I see it as an investment for my retirement years. See you in 2040.
2040? That's optimistic.
@@ezzahhh agreed, I'm not that optimistic. But I've been consistently wrong about Star Citizen. They manage to be even worse than I predict. Somehow. So where is that SQ42 Beta? Every single fanboy told me it was coming for sure last year. Now it's radio silence.
Imagine what 70 bucks would be worth in 2040! Better to buy the game while it's cheap
@@ezzahhh LOL
You should think that you have spent money not on your retirement , but rather on your inheritance ;)
By the time this game is released, it would be considered historical fiction instead of science fiction.
I wonder if it'll be released in full before Starfield does.
@@Po1lux Wooosh.
@@kinagrill Lol, go easy on him; his beloved Scam Citizen has only been in development for forever.
@Behemoth emphasis on historical

RSI gained a new explorer....In the great word of Jean Luc Picard, "Make IT SO."
this vid got me into SC, S tier game and S tier bugs lol, I find myself logging in and learning the ways around the bugs.
They really are the best bugs. I loved the video where she accidentally reloaded her gun with fruit and it jammed
Easily one of the most comprehensive, unbiased, in depth reviews of this whole thing. It was a pleasure to watch, and I hope more people see it and actually watch the whole thing through.
Agreed.
it's easy to fling the feacle at each other. Much more difficult to stir thought.
Yep really nicely done review.
@Mr. Miyagi and then there's just that blind hatred that you always see. I'm no cultist, I just want to see an open dialogue about this thing without devolving into blind support for either side. Calm down.
@@NickCranford this video is factually very biased, the mere fact that the title is best game ever shows it, its not normal to see a smartphone or tablet review named best ever, things have their pros and cons, clearly something is wrong. and the fact that many see the title and say its unbiased shows how blindly fanatical the community around this game is. i m surprised he at least did mentioned a few issues, just a few, he even contradicted himself
@Mr. Miyagi Anyways uhm... I bought a whole bunch of shungite, rocks, do you know what shungite is? Anybody know what shungite is. No, no Suge Knight, I think hes locked up in prison. Talking shungite. Anyways, its a 2 billion year old like rock, stone that protects against frequencies and unwanted frequencies that may be traveling in the air. So thats my story. I bought a whole bunch of stuff, put them around the la casa. Little pyramids. Stuff like that.
I think Riley is easily my favourite writer/host in the whole LMG family, and would be really excited to watch more of these. Not sure I'd want them all to be gaming related though... Would be cool to see deep-dives into backstories and origins of recent tech news developments maybe? Maybe that's a bad premise. Basically want more Riley. And James.
Project Zomboid is one of the most played games on steam. Has been in early access for 8+ years. And they only update they've done in all that time is change the graphics from pre-rendered sprites to RuneScapes.
DayZ, the inventor of early access. Has since re-released itself, in a 2nd phase of early access, with half the features of the original mod.
In Elite Dangerous, you play as a unmovable chair, watching glorified loading screens.
That all makes Star Citizen look impressive.
When you put it into perspective like that.... ha, yeah, it really does put Star Citizen in a different league when it comes to dev times.
I really wish I could like this video over and over again
The lighting looks like "techlinked after hours", which is weirdly comforting.
Great format, hopefully it succeeds and we get more in the future !
Riley with longform content?
Guess he must've gotten bored with his minimalist home :P
or lost the straw pull/rock paper snipsnip... :P
Wow that's a lot of work for 'just' a 30 min video! well done guys! :)
came here from a Morphologis video, great to see he was a part of this
Definitely would prefer more of these. Digging into topics and providing something in the 15-30 min window is great.
Holy shit yes please more longform content
Okay so it's 2022 and there was a free flight this week (F2P for a week).
I tried it and got hooked, the game is buggy af that's true but it's becoming enjoyable with stuff you can already do.
I had to buy it and for people who would like to do the same, this game requires a lot of knowledge and also you need to know how to fight against bugs lol. Once you get these down, you are ready.
honestly, even though there still are some bugs, in my personal experience the game has improved a lot over the last year.
I don't randomly die anymore, don't randomly fall through the floor, my ships don't randomly blow up, servers don't crash every 2 hours. The only occosional bugs I really get now are me not being able to set a waypoint or button not fully working but have'nt stopped me from continuing what I was doing. Even the fps has improved significantly although still not crazy good.
This was a great video! Conveniently enough there's a free fly going on right now, so I'm gonna give it a shot myself.
26:04 Riley: "this video was crazy to make, who's idea was this?"
Also, at the same time you see the video credits with Riley EVERYWHERE.
Riley is awesome , great addition to the team
When Star Citizen launches, you are likely to be a senior citizen. :>
a senior STAR citizen :P
you will likely be living as a star citizen when it releases
Star Citizen is not a game. It’s a religion. Like all religions, it promises things that ever stay out of reach: God, heaven, eternal life, the definitive space game experience. But it’s also a modern religion: like American Televangelists and Scientology, Star Citizen is as bold as it gets at asking for your money.
Between a great promise you’re so invested in and admitting that you are a fool to believe it, it’s very hard for people to extricate themselves from religion. Err, I mean Star Citizen.
*if
This is actually true for a lot Star Citizen's players lmao. A large chunk of the original backers in 2012 were probably 45+ years old at the time, They'd be 60+ by the time this game reaches full release.
Love this give us more techlonger
I used to play Elite Dangerous and one of the RUclipsrs I watched from that was streaming Star Citizen one day. Like many people, I didn't know it was a thing yet. After watching for a bit I bought my own little ship and started playing. I love this game. I am constantly annoyed by all the glitches but the ships are beyond mind blowingly cool. Actually so much about the game is mind blowing. It's super fun too. So many just awesome quests you can do and so many deeply immersive stations and planets. Bugged to death, but truly awesome. It's worth it right now.
This felt like a full documentary - would love to see more deep dives like this
Watch Down the Rabbit Hole episode about star citizen. More info
Very well made... I had to Spam it to at least 10 friends and family members...
Yes
Would love to see more deep dives like this, agreed; perhaps not on the Star Citizen topic more than once per year or two. :P~
Man videos like this really shows how good of an actor riley is. Congrats on your baby riley!
You think disney channel is good acting too? lol
Riley is such a gem
When Linus announced that Riley is joinning LTT I was really excited. I was not excited enough for what he brought to LTT.
Maa you buy'n ships?? Maa noo don't buy ships!
I think it's more of a testament to his research and writing skills
Excellent video. Well done.😃
> Wants the wholesome team work experience.
> Allows Linus to join your group and he wreaks havoc for giggles.
Star Citizen is the game that made me thought, "Wow, I better take care of my health so I can live long enough to play this when it releases in 2069..."
If the devs still alive on 2069...
That's a good thought
@@GUSRG their children will continue their work, and it will repeat infinitely until building a rocketship and cryogenic tech and you will pay to see the planets in real life
@@GUSRG This is what I thought about Berserk and look how that turned out. Sadge.
With just about any other project I'd be annoyed at the rate of new features, but if you look past the initial bugginess you can quickly start to see what an amazing game it could be.
A moment that blew my mind was when I was flying on a planet recently and it was really windy, my ship was being thrown around, as I was passing over a mountain I could actually see the snow being blown up one side of the mountain physically and curling over the top of it. I don't think I've ever seen that in another game outside of pre-defined animations.
Of course, as I flew over said mountain I got the down-draft on the other side and it slapped me into the ground, which was both annoying and mind blowing at the same time. 😅
I guess my point is: The game is a lot more than it seems to be. You can quite easily call it a tech demo at its current phase, but man... It's a damn cool tech demo.
Honestly one of the best videos the entire LMG group has released over the years.
What does lmg stand for?
@@rihasanatrofolo2472 linus media group
Because it’s informative? Lol
@@akiotatsuki2621 Because of the flow, the story telling, the humor and presenting the facts in an unbiased way. Very hard to make such a long video and not have people get bored and leave.
@@AntwanMounir I tip my hat to you
Yes. Techlinked twice a week one tech longer instead. This is great
Its very well made, Riley
