Its wild seeing simple features like "throwing mechanics" advertised as these huge milestones of innovation while at the same time ENTIRE GAMES are being created in the same development window.
@MisterFoxton unfortunately I know all too well because I've have been blown to bits by my own grenade after it warps back to my feet more times than I can count.
@@elpoyoyolo Doesn't NMS let you fly down and land on planet? Sure there is no exit seat animation for the player who just appears on the ground, but you are still flying to planet from space.
@@0waverunner0 The only other game that eats 64gb of RAM that I know. Probably DCS, and then only on the server with a lot of players and AI units. Even then you will be able to play it with 16gb of RAM but will catch stutters during long distance flights when loading in and unloading units. Star Citizen is very badly optimized, everybody knows this, they themselves do not hide it. From what I know there is a plan that polishing and optimization would be done when tech is developed and finished (Not the best approach, optimization ideally should be part of development from proof of concept up to full releas). But with money inflow starting to slow down drastically, features get postponed. If time for polish and optimization comes it will be rushed out the door probably. Sad reality, their Management is bad with money and managing work.
To be fair, free fly events are the absolute worst in terms of performance. It's legitimately baffling to see CIG decide not to ramp up their servers to handle the onslaught of additional people, to showcase the game running in the poorest possible state.
Remember in 2012 when Chris said he could deliver the best damn space sim ever in just 2-3 years (otherwise things will get stale) for a measly 6 million? And then said they could deliver an even better space sim ever for just 65 million, without significantly delaying the project (he literally said that in a letter from the chairman in 2013, that adding more goals for more money wouldn't delay it - thereby demonstrating he knows nothing about software development or project management). And so, here we are, 12 years later, with CIG approaching the 1 billion mark (including private investments and other income) and they still haven't delivered a game with the amount of content they said they could deliver for a hell of a lot less.
@@djirate052380 not for the amount of time and money dedicated to the project. Elite fundraised and developed a whole space sim in 2 years that was more feature complete then 8 years of star citizen development.
Ask SC peeps when development started, they'll say couple years ago annnd they're developing ~3 games at the same time with 64bit coordinate position like that matters.
That is how cults work. You start with as many people as possible. Star Citizen had 5 million. Then you take that down to a small core of the most devoted.
@@Dragon-BelieverI don’t think you know what cult means when anyone that actually plays the game will happily admit it’s a broken mess and they’ve mismanaged it the whole way… this is RUclips, not spectrum and their white knights lol
@@jsullivan649 There are almost no white knights on spectrum, just angry people who fill up the forums with complaining. Good luck finding a positive post in the general spectrum section.
@ look under any post, the baby bottles and picards is what I mean sorry, literally flamed and insulted off the site more than once when you offer actual constructive feedback
What kind of sucker you have to be to believe this nonsense. This whole scammer organization has been on the verge of bankruptcy for several years, they are closing down studios and cutting costs as much as possible. Rely on facts, not PR gibberish. When someone writes something to you, do you immediately believe it? If they wrote that they collected 10 billion, would you believe it too? How old are you, dude? 15?
I've only been playing since 2022, and I totally understand the frustration. @TheYamiks you had me laughing my ass off with your rants lol especially at 20:38. Very well-done video with lots of truth, laughter and sadness all put in a blender and spun around. If they push back SQ42 past 2026, I honestly think things will get bad. I honestly see a lot of SC Faithful who have been with the game since the beginning, really giving up on it. I think what SC wants to do is beyond awesome and every space / Sci-fi nerd wets themself thinking of how great it would be. But only time will tell what we get.
The model is very simple: find a bunch of genetically challenged |\/|0R0|\|S, preferably white and r@cist, with those tiny tech-pron weeners and pink sausage fingers on their stubby arms. Then go out and find a bunch of 3rd rate 3D designers to make their stupid beadie eyes pow out of their skippy ball sized empty skulls. That's it. Next; Just keep designing and iterating ever more stupid looking 'space' ships. Do that FOREVER. Then sell them to the |\/|0R0|\|S who's lifes basically can be summed up as wanting to go "pew pew" in some basement as their retarded wife/girls/pleasure-sheeps sits downstairs becoming a ball of lard watching streaming services as well. Only the literally dumbest of the dumb fracks will do of course. We all know the type. I mean straight up mental patients with just enough intellect to hold a job pushing some button somewhere inside the walls of of some soul crushing job. As long as the designers keep pumping up designs and King F@fack himself, Chris ASPERGERS Roberts, plays the circus master and announcers of one epic CIRCLE JERK.. Now you have a never ending revenue stream of D\/MB F\/CK money coming in. Now, pay attention now this part is crucial: You use all your personell (basically all DESIGNERS and two 2004 level CryteK SCRIPTERS not even devs..) to make more 3D content and shove that up their stupid a55es as well .RINSE AND REPEAT. What guarantees they keep throwing money at this thing: PURE STUPIDITY, OCD and straight up m3nt@l retardation. Frack all of them! Who wants to be part of a decade long sh!t show!? Only literal cl()wns. The worst the gaming industry has to offer is THESE PEOPLE coming together and stinking up the place ..again. With their scammy scam like methods. These Backer |\/|0R0|\|S are on a level of their own as they single handed RUINED the crowdfunding gaming industry with their rabid dumb-assery and this sect like devotion to their own ankle grabbing nature, their tribalism and their cosmically stupid general level of intellect. Literal Scu|\/| of the Earth! They all deserve each other and some hole in the ground where they can commune and 'come together' as an example of the worst mankind has to offer
@@TheYamiks You're just being real, not many people do that on YT nowadays. It shows authenticity and it shows you are passionate for what could be of SC. But you have every right to be frustrated with how they are handling the game.
For me, it's 2023, during IAE, which had free fly. This was during my slump time with Elite (I am still burned/wishing for a seat skin to bring back the OG Odyssey passenger chairs), and while I've seen Mandalore's video, I was slightly impressed with what all occurred. I enjoyed the salvaging gameplay, and all the internal loops. I then got goomba stomped on the Reclaimer's bridge and given a fast travel to the hospital. So, I ended up buying the Syulen package, and basically accepted that I have front row seats to the insanity, and in all honesty... I've enjoyed it. Yes, 3.23 has been... just bad, but I'd look over at my CMDR badge and question which was worse. I'm sorry my Fed Corvette, Spoiler Pancake, and Glorious Python... but the grind for you just sucked and required me to basically exploit the market to not go insane. I just wish the VR support wasn't thrown under the bus when space legs became a thing... that alone would have kept me from donating to the Chris Roberts retirement fund program.
@@TheYamiks I used to think you were being too harsh with the game a few years back, and perhaps you were, but now I think your reaction is 110% justified. That shit ain’t acceptable no more. One day it will be time for accontability, and I hope the noclip guys are standing at the ready. Maybe Crowbcat too lol
So I'm 55 now, I should expect to be able to enjoy SC in my 80's? Must be nice to just blow backers money on whimsical crap and not actually polish the game they promised. paid for the lowest tier over 10 years ago and still haven't been able to get a ship out of the hanger without something breaking in the code.
For even more insult to injury, the game they promised at the 2 million mark was just as doable as it was aesthetically beautiful for it's time in 2013. But the goalposts move faster than progress.
@@4tonmike Why didnt they make the game to have a fun game loop like how PubG started ...To make people always coming back to game to have fun even if its an Alpha
@@ratstar4102That's not going to keep the Roberts family in the lap of luxury is it? Sorry for your ongoing frustration, but you sound old enough to know the saying "Leapord doesn't change it's spots" Chris had previous (not in a good sense) from both a game and movie perspective. So who is the evil publisher getting in the way of SC?
CIG always want it all ways. In 2014 they were already talking about landable areas with creatures. (And putting out exploration ship adverts showing the same). Proc gen surfaces were a stretch goal that same year. The scope was ballooning, but all of the dreams stayed on the table. And got monetized ;) As they rolled out the new planetary tech they repeatedly talked up it's ability to scale. (By 2019 they presented their 'future proof' planet tech v4, which would definitely make 100 solar systems possible. It's now being superseded by planet tech v5...) They're still selling their exploration ships. They still haven't officially dumped the 100 systems target. (The other 95 are just supposed to come after launch ;)). All the dreams are still on the table. And still in the store...

I feel like every change ruined something that was alittle broken to completely broken Take zero G movement, for example. One of my fav things to do was just space walk around my ship. Now... i float around like a dying fish
Honestly the last 2 years have been the absolute worst, just stupid decision after stupid decision after stupid decision. They don't listen to their community at all any more, just utterly ignore any major strife or complaints or issues, meanwhile they are still reinventing basic mechanics in year 11 of active development, and enshitifying every system making it as boring and tedious as they possibly can. This game in no way resembles what I backed years ago now.
I can't agree, it's a brilliantly executed scam - brilliantly, of course, at the level of every scam, i.e. at the level of stupidity of the target group. The last few years have been aimed at squeezing the whales as much as possible before the project's demise. It's a race against time for these criminals in white gloves. After all, it has been known for several years that they launder money through various funds.
Wait the game was better before 2022 Not even trying to troll but it always felt like game was advancing and improving the fastest ever since I started playing in 2022 like salvage physicalized cargo the cargo elevators I have no views on maste modes but as a whole the game has always felt on the up
I does not even look good anymore. This year they changed the lighting and brightness settings and added an always present ambiant light, plus they oversaturated the game. So it looks like Oblivion meets No Man's Sky... No more nights, no more contrast, and it pukes colors everywhere.
It's funny, those sabre raven codes that came with the intel ssd sales, that that Linus Tech Tips guy so flippantly discarded are worth more than the drive itself. $1000 on the gray market. That's 2.5x the cost of the drive when it was released.
The craziest part to me is based on where the game feels right now its probably only half done overall. That would mean that we could easily expect this to pass 1 billion and 15 years development, and really if it keeps going that long i could see it being a 20 year development and cost well over 1 billion. There was also just this morning someone online telling people that pyro works and because hes one of the evocotti testers they are being pedantic over saying pyro still isnt ready because according to him it is ready, even though we dont have it on live and its only working "allegedly" on their small internal testing build.
Dude what are you talking about? Pyro is open to wave 2 testers right now, and running 500 player shards -- there are live streams you can watch right now. And yes, 4.0 works far better than the current live build, which is a janky mess. I'm waiting for 4.0 since it's the smoothest the game has ever run, most people playing it will admit they refuse to go back to live because live is just a far inferior experience.
@@alaskan_bigfoot9090 If you do a lot of testing then you will be invited, if not, they're opening up to wave 3 with the next stable patch (likely later today).
Half done? Quite a few major planned features are still absent and even though they have scaled their ambitions down for the number of systems to be released at launch they still plan on adding all the systems. That would take the decades to do though.
I find the game very interesting, and tried it out several times during "free weeks". But, it's sooo broken... If they just stoped and polished what they have it would actually be a very fun game. But the biggest problem is server performance. It just can't handle all the things in it... I have no idea how messy the connections are.
I cant tell if star citizen is poorly managed or stuck in a trap were they have to push out more content to keep money flowing, but that means they dont have resources to fix existing systems. I keep hearing features first, polish later. But those features are broken, polish is adding quality of life features and making things pretty. Half the time mission critical items dont spawn, or disappear. Or the server crashes just before you can turn in the mission and all your work is lost. There is a beautiful game somewhere in there, but right now Star Citizen is 4000 bugs in a trenchcoat.
What he has said throughout his entire video displays the extreme negative side of the game - which hilariously focuses bashing on the game. My in-game org and I play SC every Friday and Saturday and we have a lot of fun. Sure the game has a lot of bugs but such is development. Anyone who expects this SC Alpha to be akin to a fully playable game is definitely delusional. I would encourage you to try out the game either during a free-fly (though not really recommended because the servers get so stupidly busy) or get its cheapest game package. Listening to all the repeated hate by RUclipsrs like "TheYamiks" baffles me since it takes so much effort to hate on this level. In my opinion, CIG has made good decisions since the start of its' development. Remember, "CIG" started with a development team of 8 people in somebody's basement. Over the years, not only have their employee numbers scaled immensely, but the technology has extrapolated even more. What CIG has produced in 10 years is more intensive, expensive, and far more technologically advance than ANY game produced within 10 years from AAA game developers with full teams and numbers from the start of development.
Look at Roberts face as he talks. ASPERGERS Syndrome. And he takes medicine for it as well as his autism. He's a retard. His wife is retarded and his brother has been eating himself to death trying to become the first star shittizen IRL planet himself. They are morons who struck gold.
It's not called Scam Citizen for no reason. If all these white knights really beleave, then why are they trying to convince potential victims in buying into this clown show? This is what a cult looks like and behaves like. Run from this mess, and don't look back!
@@ranishkA123 i agree , SC is rough experience but its an experience that you cant get anywhere else , also dont forget hate make more views but in the end they still comeback to SC even if they keep saiyng its a buggy mess of a scam , ...
SC is like dark souls but instead of punishing bosses it's just bugs. the search and rescue cave missions are still bugged 4 years later. there has been, is, and will no doubt continue to be a massive issue with scope in regards to development of this game. nothing ever gets polished because something else gets thrown in before any polishing can take place. it's beyond frustrating and I refuse to give them any more money than the basic pledge.
Honestly good video, i was really craving a deep dive of all the "actually delivered" content over the years since as a backer from 2014, memorie gets blurry between what is and what was promised. Accountability is needed for the project to have a chance to become what everyone dreams it to be. But to my limited understanding of game dev and funding, SQ42 needs to release on time if CIG wants to be able to keep their progress up. First freeing up the devs yes, but you can only milk your current backers so much, they need new people and backers. And SQ42 is a corner stone in that regard. Anyway good video, we need reviews like that to keep the project in its tracks !
I was always very positive about SC. Even with the snail's pace of development and constant delays, I remained positive, because I could see through the problems to the potential that was there. This year has shattered that positivity. It was the flight model change that did it. I was never a sweaty PvP guy, I did occasional player bounties, but mostly did PvE, and flight has gone from being a joy to a chore. I really hope they get their shit together soon.
I used to be a big supporter of this game, and would be among the first to leap to its defence when people called it a scam. Now, however, I have nothing but disdain for the way this trainwreck of a project is being run, and I don't believe for a second that Squadron 42 will be done in 2026 (why is it ALWAYS two years away??). At this point I've given up hope that we're ever going to get a game, I just can't see it happening with the way things are going. By all logic this business model should have failed, how they're still trading (and I use the word "trading" in its broadest possible sense) is beyond me.
Because some people aren't emotional like it's their time of the month, and instead, people look at the sitution logically and understand difficult design mechanisms require a lot of time to make and implement.
@Billy-bc8pk I get that, I really do. But how much time? Another five years? Ten years? Twenty? Are we still going to be having this conversation in 2040? If they had something resembling a MVP on the shelves (doesn't matter what), I'd feel differently - they can do what they want with their own money - but they don't, and will be relying exclusively on players' good will for at least another five years. I could even forgive that if they'd been honest about this from the start, but they really haven't. Surely a logical person like you can understand why some people are losing patience.
@@SuburbanFox Instead of looking at it from the perspective of an MVP, instead look at it from the perspective of: are you having fun for the money invested? To be quite frank, I feel Star citizen is a more fleshed out game than Helldivers 2, even though people will swear Helldivers 2 is a "complete" game, even though it has no actual campaign, no proper story or mission structures, and is just kind of a lobby-based PvE arena shooter. But it's packaged like it's complete, has a proper tutorial, a good intro cinematic, and in-game rewards you can earn. But it's not really a traditional game, and has no end-game, and has no way to actually beat it. You also get way more content in Star Citizen, even though Star Citizen is way buggier. So the question becomes, why is an MVP for Star Citizen so important when it already has way more content than a lot of other "finished" games? Shouldn't the main criteria be that it's playable, fun, and mostly polished? Because in that regard, I don't really care how long CIG spends developing it, just so long as they keep making it better. Now... Squadron 42? Yes, I agree, it NEEDS to be released in 2026.
I backed in March 2015 and all you could do was walk around your hangar with your ship spawned in. You couldn't even get into the ship. I don't think the PU was released until 2016 but I could be wrong.
Quality from Yamiks as usual. When I backed the kickstarter, I was expecting 15 or so years for something of this scale so still have abit to go yet. Keep up the great work!
It's impressive how much they spend on everything instead making the game, also istead of perfecting base mechanics, they promise in-depth gameplay that they never deliver.
You know, the fact that I still cannot have a bobblehead or any actual flair item in SC just bugs me to my core. Seriously, I have my ships in Elite littered with them because nothing gives a smile on my face more than watching everything mindlessly flail around while doing 'evasive maneuvers.' Seriously: I'd say they could burn in-game money inflation with that alone... and make more money than a single 890 sale by just offering them on the shop (Don't boo at me, you know as much as I do they'd do that... look at the ATLAS and Multi-tools they have for sale).
I tried it out during the free trial. What a hot mess where it ran at 1fps in the train because I didnt have enough ram. Game crashed 3 times preventing me from finishing the tutorial. How are people finding this acceptable? The crazy thing is, there's so much potential I'm still thinking about getting the starter pack now I have more ram. Atmospheric landing is severely lacking in Elite dangerous but man this game is frustrating AF to play.
I've been playing this game for about a year full time, I made an account back in 2016 during a free fly event it was completely unplayable for me then, I would recommend holding off on buying anything at the moment at least until the next free flight super meshing is coming in 4.0 And it's going to be a hot mess for a little while after that. until they get that smoothed out.
Once I upgraded my pc I haven't had issues. It's like any game. If pc isn't strong enough it will not run properly. But doing any thing during free fly sadly is not enjoyable. For someone who has been playing for over 6 years free flies suck
16GB of ram isnt enough. I’m not sure why people keep insisting thats all you need in 2024. Many games take a performance hit with 16GB in their 1% lows because it hits the pagefile. In some games you can expect chugging and crashes.
@@GROGU123The web site says 16... Why, I don't know. I've found on my end, the game utilizes a constant 28. At this point. If you don't have 64GBs you are doing yourself a disservice.
YAMIKS!!!!! Good to see your brand of cynicism being posted here. I used to watch your videos several years ago, when I was still playing Elite Dangerous. Good to see you haven't lost your edge! 😃👍
SC runs like poo poo on my machine now it used run well with an average of 30 FPS, but now it stutters and freezes and my FPS is somewhere between 2 and 9 most of the time, completely unplayable, it takes forever for my inventory items to load and when it freezes it last for 5 to 10 seconds. I have a higher end machine so looks like I won't be playing until this is fixed or I get a new PC.
People always talk about the biggest and newest ships, and I am just comfy in my good ol' trusty Constellation Taurus. Just like your brain renders out your nose, your brain eventually renders out the struts.
I REALLY want like this game. But they just keep on every year not actually making a game. It feels like every year its 50 new ships, maybe 5 are straight to flyable with none of the games features. Like where is engineering, where is functional escape pods, where is building? They have all these really cool features they want to give us but all they actually give us is some redundant ship. Maybe if they stopped with all the new ships, and focused on the ones they already have planed and the ACTUAL GAME IT WOULD GET RELEASED!
День назад+1
My, oh my! I was not an early backer of SC and had no idea of the first few years there.... What the hell were they thinking? Outsourcing stuff? Those years were clearly 99% wasted time imo. If the scope had been clear from the start, and a dev team organically grown from the starta 10 years ago I think the state of the game today would have been completely different, BUT that also would hinge on engine stability. Switchin engines, or using a sub-par one for your purposes is also detrimental. So maybe it wouldn't be possible to fix the SC developemnt even with perfect hindsight.
Yeah, I too don't believe it's actually going to launch in 2026. They made a huge deal about how it was going to be groundbreaking and revolutionary back in 2016, then went quiet. I'll believe it when it's actually on shelves, but I'm expecting even worse than Cyberpunk 2077 launch usability.
Maybe I am a minority, but I don't want base building and ship customisation. (I don't mind choosing pre made interior ship designs) I want more quality of gameplay updates, I went from 'falling out my ship, to falling through space stations, planets... and yes still my ship.
i think they whant to ad base building to bring new player to the game , to entertaine old player because it will bring more meaning to the game , and to sell a lot of cosmetic item for it (not sayng it in a bad way)
Think the scam part is mostly roping people into preordering an expensive ship and those ships are mia over a decade. I understand they couldnt finish the game due to ambition, but making ships is CIG's forte so they totally scammed those people.
WARNING: don't buy Star Citizen thinking you can just put in the basic price for a starter ship and earn other ships in-game. CIG regularly randomly delete ships you buy in-game, effectively removing tens of millions of auec from your account whenever they release a patch. But this never happens to real money bought ships because of course it doesn't. They call this a bug but if so, it's a big that's very convenient for ship sales, and has been around for many years. They also have not given their support people any ability to restore these ships, ships that can easily take many months of in-game grinding to earn. So consider that before you spend any money on this project.
When you see it as MS Flight Sim in space it's ok. Since I "play" Star Citizen I don't play MSFS anymore because HQ spaceships and nice landscapes to explore. For just chilling and flying around it's good. Sleeping (log in/out) in ship, respawn in ship (thanks medbed/nursa) and restock with what you find evades most of bugs and if a bug hits you you respawn in your ship. Thus you can avoid broken hangars, clumsy inventory, elevators, waiting times and transportations on stations (=useless unfun timesinks).
Roberts: May the -Force- Scam be with you ;) Remember folks, SQ42 absolutely IS the whole SC/Roberts/Merde front end. That means, with the bugfest that is SC, that SQ42 ain't releasing. Obviously !!!
Signed up for SQ42 in 2013. Didn't follow it too closely. Just let it cook. Then I decided to check the PU in 2016 and went a little crazy. Even though there was barely a game in there, flying ships around was insanely fun for me. Tested Elite: Dangerous out a bit too. When 3.0 came out, I lost all interest in a few iterations. Huge empty universe where you walk around in installations and moons without anything to do wasn't very interesting. Veered heavily to Elite: Dangerous and stayed there. I have been meaning to check SC out one of these days, but can't bring myself to do it. The information that does drift my way seems to indicate that it's becoming even less about flying spaceships.
lol, it's not a scam. Overly hyped and bloated? Absolutely. But a scam would imply they are not actually doing anything with the game, which is obviously not true.
its poorly managed by a team that knows nothing about gamers and what their customers want. They cater now to the smallest niche crowd possible thinking thats the masses. I am a wing commander backer and not upset I lost money...is what it is. But logged in 2 days ago and was sooooooooooooooooooooooo bored I didn't even make it out the hangar. Its curiosity, others who drop large sums stay because they are financially tied. Right now many would be happy to simply see S42 release and be good. And based on the demo, its minimum 60% cut scenes with real time rendering. They will catch hell for that.
@@draugr7693 I love people still calling it a scam... Lots of issues and time spent, yes. But they are making something that has the POTENTIAL to be amazing.
Seriously man, they've hired over 1,000 people, have studios on both sides of the Atlantic, even built a studio from the ground up, and even acquired a whole another company to help with development. That sure is a long way around to go to run a scam.
Unfortunately, too many people see the slick ads and buy without watching a streamer try to operate Star Citizen. And existing whales are caught in the sunk cost quagmire. So while the money keeps flowing they'll keep messing around with idiotic changes that make the game even slower and more buggy instead of fixing bugs and fleshing out and finishing fun and playable game loops. Though at this point I'm not sure finishing anything is even possible with Chris in charge. Just a week or two ago they nerfed fuel tanks so almost all small ships can no longer cross the single system they have released. Then they released a ship people have been waiting a decade for (and paid huge money for) and a few days later put up torpedo prices so high that nobody can afford to use that ship. Seriously it takes millions to restock that ship and nothing in the game generates that kind of cash. It ranges between pure incompetence and malicious design and after all these years there's still not a single thing in the whole game that could be considered "finished".
Ive been stressing this for years. When a company KEEPS a game in a EA state for TOO LONG. You essentialy kiss your product launch goodbye. So tarkov and this game have Already sold the game to the majority of the user base. Ok so what happends on release day 1.0. Nothing. Cause everyone whos gonna play it already has been. And others will already have decided this game is not good. Its a death sentence for a company.
Star citizen today. I tried it, now I only have a GTX 3050, 32 gig ram and a i513th gen with ssd drives. I cant get more than 18FPS on a 4K monitor. It's utter shite.
4K monitor.. with a GPU that has (at best) 8 GB Vram.... mate... please learn about VRAM please or I'll call GPU-protective-services on you! seriously thou : stuttering gets HORRIBLE as soon as even a MB is out of place, especiually for low end GPUs like this.
"The writing is really bad"... HUH "There isn't any stats for weapons. They haven't figured it out yet. It disgust me and pisses me off"... HUH (erkul)
He was commenting on the fact that *in-game*, the info is missing. I love Erkul, but he has a point. No one should need to use third party sites to see stats.
@KaybeCA no because he said it was because they didn't figure stats yet. So he meant that we couldn't see stats at all anywhere. But I do agree it should be ingame and not only on game files and erkul but I guess it's because nothing is definitive yet and all systems are not yet ingame for example with armor so they would loose time showing stats too early
I've played this game on and off since 2017, and to be honest they haven't figured out what stats they want. We had diversified quantum drives way back in early 3.x patches, then they were standardised, then they have only just been diversified again in 4.0. Ship weapons have also had similar cycles. We got master modes and now CIG are musing about removing them again, not to mention every other flight model rework. Time to kill has been changed more times than I can remember. Don't get me wrong, I think they'll find something they like *eventually*, but it definitely isn't now.
All these people just ignore that there’s IN GAME MONEY there’s nothing forcing u to invest more money into the game then the initial amount that allows u to play. If u waste ur money on microtransactions it’s ur own problem, just move ur ass and sweat a lil bit and u can buy whatever u want in game
The moment this game goes full release the money tree dries up and dies. The moment even mediocre players can earn ships in-game rather than get fed-up with waiting and cash-buying one (or several) the cash tree dries up and dies. This probably wasn't intentional in the beginning but $750,000,000 later and it becomes the definning business model for CIG. Actual unrealistic 'realistic' gaming: flaking out and deading because I didn't drink some water for 2 hours.. like seven hundred years in the future suit manufactureres haven't managed to incorporate a drinking tube into helmets with a CamelBak reservoir. I've put probs £320 into the game over the last 4 years.. now all I do is open the launcher to check for updates.
Some aspects of SC have been playable at any given time and some of those were occasionally fun. I don't even consider it a bad game. It's just an alpha so there isn't much to judge, yet. When it ever becomes a beta and we can see what features are even in we'll be able to tell something.
@gazz3867 dont judge an alpha... after 15 YEARS!?! Do you hear yourself? No alpha in history has gone on this long and they dont even have the basics of not falling through floors and elevators fixed.... after 15 YEARS. How many more times do they have to move the endgame goalposts of "beta/release" before you realize it will NEVER leave alpha. How many years to you becomes more of a parody and joke than 15 years? 20? 30? And dont say "oh thats silly" because thats EXACTLY what people were saying when people suggested 15 years a decade ago. 😄😆😅😄😆
Using Kotaku articles as references...... I gave this video the benefit of the doubt up until that point. After that, i'll be watching it as Satire. o7
Regardless, you know it's a cluster-f don't you? Deep down, despite your significant emotional and financial investment, you understand that a 'game' in which, after a decade you are not sure if you'll survive using a lift is in a bad state don't you? Adding 'features' on a broken foundation will never be a recipe for success, only failure.
15 years of game development and still unable to get in a ship, fly to a planet and do anything without a hitch? THAT is what i call satire. Its literally mocking the stupidity of the paying customer. 😄😄😆😆😆
i love this gamme, but i just hate that so many basic funtions, function properly. only more ships for more money and squadron 42... i haven't played it in 3 years
forgot the pupul to planet video in Dec 2015 (xmas present) that happened before Gamescom 2016, that accellerated the change to the new planetary landing possibility
i want trashcans in SC the despawns items like cans, people do try to use them even now fu out of fun i did bui9ld a pyramit out of tehm one time the same applies to ships in cities, they have to disappear after a certain time, as the server runs like shit after a handful of days due to dozens of ships leaving the last time I saw it at the trade fair was 64 ships that were parked in a citys or landing pads from minig stations where a ship has been abandoned for days as a player, you can't get rid of these becasue of weapons lock it not much but it would help

Its wild seeing simple features like "throwing mechanics" advertised as these huge milestones of innovation while at the same time ENTIRE GAMES are being created in the same development window.
Would it surprise you to know throwing released, and still is, buggy?
@MisterFoxton unfortunately I know all too well because I've have been blown to bits by my own grenade after it warps back to my feet more times than I can count.
Show me a game that lets you go from ground to space seamlessly without ANY loading screens with the scale of Star Citizen.
@@elpoyoyolo show me one that actually works
@@elpoyoyolo Doesn't NMS let you fly down and land on planet? Sure there is no exit seat animation for the player who just appears on the ground, but you are still flying to planet from space.
Tried it during the free trial and I can confirm the I've never experienced so much stuttering in my entire life.
Server performance tends to be bad during the free flys, especially before the upcoming 4.0 patch which among many things brings server meshing.
How much RAM do you have? Any thing less than 32 and you will have a bad time. 64 should really be the bench mark.
@@0waverunner0 The only other game that eats 64gb of RAM that I know. Probably DCS, and then only on the server with a lot of players and AI units. Even then you will be able to play it with 16gb of RAM but will catch stutters during long distance flights when loading in and unloading units.
Star Citizen is very badly optimized, everybody knows this, they themselves do not hide it. From what I know there is a plan that polishing and optimization would be done when tech is developed and finished (Not the best approach, optimization ideally should be part of development from proof of concept up to full releas).
But with money inflow starting to slow down drastically, features get postponed. If time for polish and optimization comes it will be rushed out the door probably. Sad reality, their Management is bad with money and managing work.
@UkrNomad don't disagree at all 😂
To be fair, free fly events are the absolute worst in terms of performance. It's legitimately baffling to see CIG decide not to ramp up their servers to handle the onslaught of additional people, to showcase the game running in the poorest possible state.
Remember in 2012 when Chris said he could deliver the best damn space sim ever in just 2-3 years (otherwise things will get stale) for a measly 6 million? And then said they could deliver an even better space sim ever for just 65 million, without significantly delaying the project (he literally said that in a letter from the chairman in 2013, that adding more goals for more money wouldn't delay it - thereby demonstrating he knows nothing about software development or project management). And so, here we are, 12 years later, with CIG approaching the 1 billion mark (including private investments and other income) and they still haven't delivered a game with the amount of content they said they could deliver for a hell of a lot less.
Thinking they went far above and beyond with the new systems in place. JS
@@djirate052380 not for the amount of time and money dedicated to the project. Elite fundraised and developed a whole space sim in 2 years that was more feature complete then 8 years of star citizen development.
I hope it hits 10 billion $ mark and be in alpha 🙏🏽🤌🏻
Ask SC peeps when development started, they'll say couple years ago annnd they're developing ~3 games at the same time with 64bit coordinate position like that matters.
That is how cults work. You start with as many people as possible. Star Citizen had 5 million. Then you take that down to a small core of the most devoted.
nah

And it's probably going to hit 1 billion raised before Squadron 42 releases.

I don't think SQ42 exists. It's just some Star Citizen hard coded scripts and some CGI.

The model is very simple: find a bunch of genetically challenged |\/|0R0|\|S, preferably white and r@cist, with those tiny tech-pron weeners and pink sausage fingers on their stubby arms. Then go out and find a bunch of 3rd rate 3D designers to make their stupid beadie eyes pow out of their skippy ball sized empty skulls. That's it.
Next; Just keep designing and iterating ever more stupid looking 'space' ships. Do that FOREVER. Then sell them to the |\/|0R0|\|S who's lifes basically can be summed up as wanting to go "pew pew" in some basement as their retarded wife/girls/pleasure-sheeps sits downstairs becoming a ball of lard watching streaming services as well. Only the literally dumbest of the dumb fracks will do of course. We all know the type.
I mean straight up mental patients with just enough intellect to hold a job pushing some button somewhere inside the walls of of some soul crushing job. As long as the designers keep pumping up designs and King F@fack himself, Chris ASPERGERS Roberts, plays the circus master and announcers of one epic CIRCLE JERK.. Now you have a never ending revenue stream of D\/MB F\/CK money coming in. Now, pay attention now this part is crucial: You use all your personell (basically all DESIGNERS and two 2004 level CryteK SCRIPTERS not even devs..) to make more 3D content and shove that up their stupid a55es as well .RINSE AND REPEAT. What guarantees they keep throwing money at this thing: PURE STUPIDITY, OCD and straight up m3nt@l retardation. Frack all of them! Who wants to be part of a decade long sh!t show!?

@@TheYamiks You're just being real, not many people do that on YT nowadays. It shows authenticity and it shows you are passionate for what could be of SC. But you have every right to be frustrated with how they are handling the game.
For me, it's 2023, during IAE, which had free fly. This was during my slump time with Elite (I am still burned/wishing for a seat skin to bring back the OG Odyssey passenger chairs), and while I've seen Mandalore's video, I was slightly impressed with what all occurred. I enjoyed the salvaging gameplay, and all the internal loops. I then got goomba stomped on the Reclaimer's bridge and given a fast travel to the hospital.
So, I ended up buying the Syulen package, and basically accepted that I have front row seats to the insanity, and in all honesty... I've enjoyed it. Yes, 3.23 has been... just bad, but I'd look over at my CMDR badge and question which was worse. I'm sorry my Fed Corvette, Spoiler Pancake, and Glorious Python... but the grind for you just sucked and required me to basically exploit the market to not go insane. I just wish the VR support wasn't thrown under the bus when space legs became a thing... that alone would have kept me from donating to the Chris Roberts retirement fund program.
@@TheYamiks I used to think you were being too harsh with the game a few years back, and perhaps you were, but now I think your reaction is 110% justified. That shit ain’t acceptable no more. One day it will be time for accontability, and I hope the noclip guys are standing at the ready. Maybe Crowbcat too lol
So I'm 55 now, I should expect to be able to enjoy SC in my 80's? Must be nice to just blow backers money on whimsical crap and not actually polish the game they promised.
paid for the lowest tier over 10 years ago and still haven't been able to get a ship out of the hanger without something breaking in the code.

For even more insult to injury, the game they promised at the 2 million mark was just as doable as it was aesthetically beautiful for it's time in 2013. But the goalposts move faster than progress.

So who is the evil publisher getting in the way of SC?
CIG always want it all ways.
In 2014 they were already talking about landable areas with creatures. (And putting out exploration ship adverts showing the same). Proc gen surfaces were a stretch goal that same year. The scope was ballooning, but all of the dreams stayed on the table. And got monetized ;)
As they rolled out the new planetary tech they repeatedly talked up it's ability to scale. (By 2019 they presented their 'future proof' planet tech v4, which would definitely make 100 solar systems possible. It's now being superseded by planet tech v5...)
They're still selling their exploration ships. They still haven't officially dumped the 100 systems target. (The other 95 are just supposed to come after launch ;)). All the dreams are still on the table. And still in the store...

Honestly the last 2 years have been the absolute worst, just stupid decision after stupid decision after stupid decision. They don't listen to their community at all any more, just utterly ignore any major strife or complaints or issues, meanwhile they are still reinventing basic mechanics in year 11 of active development, and enshitifying every system making it as boring and tedious as they possibly can. This game in no way resembles what I backed years ago now.
I hate to admit it, but you're right. Anyone could have told them that Master modes was a bad idea, yet they just pushed it through.
I can't agree, it's a brilliantly executed scam - brilliantly, of course, at the level of every scam, i.e. at the level of stupidity of the target group. The last few years have been aimed at squeezing the whales as much as possible before the project's demise. It's a race against time for these criminals in white gloves. After all, it has been known for several years that they launder money through various funds.
Wait the game was better before 2022
Not even trying to troll but it always felt like game was advancing and improving the fastest ever since I started playing in 2022
like salvage physicalized cargo the cargo elevators
I have no views on maste modes but as a whole the game has always felt on the up
Okay then please leave and go complain somewhere else and make place for new players that are actually enjoying this game
@@dozergames2395Completely agree. I started playing in 3.8.2 and the game now is miles better.
I does not even look good anymore. This year they changed the lighting and brightness settings and added an always present ambiant light, plus they oversaturated the game. So it looks like Oblivion meets No Man's Sky... No more nights, no more contrast, and it pukes colors everywhere.
Ikr. Don't forget the green space... The old settings were much better, sometimes it felt almost photo realistic.
@surject Indeed. It seems like they want to attract casuals... Which they won't anyway...
I really don't get their choices lately.
you can change those setting in game , it can take time but you can turn it into what it looked like , but not the green skyline sadly
It's funny, those sabre raven codes that came with the intel ssd sales, that that Linus Tech Tips guy so flippantly discarded are worth more than the drive itself. $1000 on the gray market.
That's 2.5x the cost of the drive when it was released.
"For 200 years... " by the sound of his voice he was there for every single one of them....
The craziest part to me is based on where the game feels right now its probably only half done overall.
That would mean that we could easily expect this to pass 1 billion and 15 years development, and really if it keeps going that long i could see it being a 20 year development and cost well over 1 billion.
There was also just this morning someone online telling people that pyro works and because hes one of the evocotti testers they are being pedantic over saying pyro still isnt ready because according to him it is ready, even though we dont have it on live and its only working "allegedly" on their small internal testing build.
Dude what are you talking about? Pyro is open to wave 2 testers right now, and running 500 player shards -- there are live streams you can watch right now. And yes, 4.0 works far better than the current live build, which is a janky mess. I'm waiting for 4.0 since it's the smoothest the game has ever run, most people playing it will admit they refuse to go back to live because live is just a far inferior experience.
@Billy-bc8pk so how would i get access to this open pyro test?
@@alaskan_bigfoot9090 If you do a lot of testing then you will be invited, if not, they're opening up to wave 3 with the next stable patch (likely later today).
Half done? Quite a few major planned features are still absent and even though they have scaled their ambitions down for the number of systems to be released at launch they still plan on adding all the systems. That would take the decades to do though.
I find the game very interesting, and tried it out several times during "free weeks".
But, it's sooo broken... If they just stoped and polished what they have it would actually be a very fun game.
But the biggest problem is server performance. It just can't handle all the things in it...
I have no idea how messy the connections are.
"Playable" is VERY generous. What is Playable to one player is not Playable to most.
I cant tell if star citizen is poorly managed or stuck in a trap were they have to push out more content to keep money flowing, but that means they dont have resources to fix existing systems.
I keep hearing features first, polish later. But those features are broken, polish is adding quality of life features and making things pretty. Half the time mission critical items dont spawn, or disappear. Or the server crashes just before you can turn in the mission and all your work is lost.
There is a beautiful game somewhere in there, but right now Star Citizen is 4000 bugs in a trenchcoat.
I think the answer to your queston is "yes". :D
you can't polish a turd
It's wild how rude they are to their backers, while also spitting in their faces.
How are they rude bruh☠️
@sirion899 He's a reddit user... he does not know.
Awesome review as always. I've never played SC but you cover what I've heard of it (good concept but slow development progression) really well.
What he has said throughout his entire video displays the extreme negative side of the game - which hilariously focuses bashing on the game.
My in-game org and I play SC every Friday and Saturday and we have a lot of fun.
Sure the game has a lot of bugs but such is development. Anyone who expects this SC Alpha to be akin to a fully playable game is definitely delusional.
I would encourage you to try out the game either during a free-fly (though not really recommended because the servers get so stupidly busy) or get its cheapest game package.
Listening to all the repeated hate by RUclipsrs like "TheYamiks" baffles me since it takes so much effort to hate on this level.
In my opinion, CIG has made good decisions since the start of its' development. Remember, "CIG" started with a development team of 8 people in somebody's basement.
Over the years, not only have their employee numbers scaled immensely, but the technology has extrapolated even more.
What CIG has produced in 10 years is more intensive, expensive, and far more technologically advance than ANY game produced within 10 years from AAA game developers with full teams and numbers from the start of development.
Look at Roberts face as he talks. ASPERGERS Syndrome. And he takes medicine for it as well as his autism. He's a retard. His wife is retarded and his brother has been eating himself to death trying to become the first star shittizen IRL planet himself. They are morons who struck gold.

Good to hear someone be honest about the game,if you criticize it on Facebook you get mobbed by angry sheep
Star Citizen's motto has never changed since its very beginning: fake it until you make it.
SC is like dark souls but instead of punishing bosses it's just bugs. the search and rescue cave missions are still bugged 4 years later. there has been, is, and will no doubt continue to be a massive issue with scope in regards to development of this game. nothing ever gets polished because something else gets thrown in before any polishing can take place. it's beyond frustrating and I refuse to give them any more money than the basic pledge.
Say what you will about Elite Dangerous at least you can actually play the game reliably
Honestly good video, i was really craving a deep dive of all the "actually delivered" content over the years since as a backer from 2014, memorie gets blurry between what is and what was promised.
Accountability is needed for the project to have a chance to become what everyone dreams it to be.
But to my limited understanding of game dev and funding, SQ42 needs to release on time if CIG wants to be able to keep their progress up.
First freeing up the devs yes, but you can only milk your current backers so much, they need new people and backers. And SQ42 is a corner stone in that regard.
Anyway good video, we need reviews like that to keep the project in its tracks !
I was always very positive about SC. Even with the snail's pace of development and constant delays, I remained positive, because I could see through the problems to the potential that was there.
This year has shattered that positivity. It was the flight model change that did it. I was never a sweaty PvP guy, I did occasional player bounties, but mostly did PvE, and flight has gone from being a joy to a chore. I really hope they get their shit together soon.
Yep. FPS stuff shifted to more Cawadoody/Fortnite style, too. They feel they've milked us for all we have and are now predatoring on a new market.
I used to be a big supporter of this game, and would be among the first to leap to its defence when people called it a scam. Now, however, I have nothing but disdain for the way this trainwreck of a project is being run, and I don't believe for a second that Squadron 42 will be done in 2026 (why is it ALWAYS two years away??). At this point I've given up hope that we're ever going to get a game, I just can't see it happening with the way things are going. By all logic this business model should have failed, how they're still trading (and I use the word "trading" in its broadest possible sense) is beyond me.
they're still working because people blindly throw money at them, and so the business model adapted to that for maximum milking.
Because some people aren't emotional like it's their time of the month, and instead, people look at the sitution logically and understand difficult design mechanisms require a lot of time to make and implement.
@Billy-bc8pk I get that, I really do. But how much time? Another five years? Ten years? Twenty? Are we still going to be having this conversation in 2040? If they had something resembling a MVP on the shelves (doesn't matter what), I'd feel differently - they can do what they want with their own money - but they don't, and will be relying exclusively on players' good will for at least another five years. I could even forgive that if they'd been honest about this from the start, but they really haven't. Surely a logical person like you can understand why some people are losing patience.
@@SuburbanFox Instead of looking at it from the perspective of an MVP, instead look at it from the perspective of: are you
having fun for the money invested?
To be quite frank, I feel Star citizen is a more fleshed out game than Helldivers 2, even though people will swear Helldivers 2 is a "complete" game, even though it has no actual campaign, no proper story or mission structures, and is just kind of a lobby-based PvE arena shooter. But it's packaged like it's complete, has a proper tutorial, a good intro cinematic, and in-game rewards you can earn. But it's not really a traditional game, and has no end-game, and has no way to actually beat it. You also get way more content in Star Citizen, even though Star Citizen is way buggier.
So the question becomes, why is an MVP for Star Citizen so important when it already has way more content than a lot of other "finished" games? Shouldn't the main criteria be that it's playable, fun, and mostly polished? Because in that regard, I don't really care how long CIG spends developing it, just so long as they keep making it better.
Now... Squadron 42? Yes, I agree, it NEEDS to be released in 2026.
@@Billy-bc8pk making a sexist comment doesn’t make you look any more "reasonable". Your perspective is flawed.
I backed in March 2015 and all you could do was walk around your hangar with your ship spawned in. You couldn't even get into the ship. I don't think the PU was released until 2016 but I could be wrong.
Quality from Yamiks as usual. When I backed the kickstarter, I was expecting 15 or so years for something of this scale so still have abit to go yet. Keep up the great work!
It's impressive how much they spend on everything instead making the game, also istead of perfecting base mechanics, they promise in-depth gameplay that they never deliver.
You know, the fact that I still cannot have a bobblehead or any actual flair item in SC just bugs me to my core. Seriously, I have my ships in Elite littered with them because nothing gives a smile on my face more than watching everything mindlessly flail around while doing 'evasive maneuvers.'
Seriously: I'd say they could burn in-game money inflation with that alone... and make more money than a single 890 sale by just offering them on the shop (Don't boo at me, you know as much as I do they'd do that... look at the ATLAS and Multi-tools they have for sale).
So we can play SQ42 when it's 2036
I would call it testable, at best
I tried it out during the free trial. What a hot mess where it ran at 1fps in the train because I didnt have enough ram. Game crashed 3 times preventing me from finishing the tutorial. How are people finding this acceptable? The crazy thing is, there's so much potential I'm still thinking about getting the starter pack now I have more ram. Atmospheric landing is severely lacking in Elite dangerous but man this game is frustrating AF to play.
I've been playing this game for about a year full time, I made an account back in 2016 during a free fly event it was completely unplayable for me then, I would recommend holding off on buying anything at the moment at least until the next free flight super meshing is coming in 4.0 And it's going to be a hot mess for a little while after that. until they get that smoothed out.
Once I upgraded my pc I haven't had issues. It's like any game. If pc isn't strong enough it will not run properly. But doing any thing during free fly sadly is not enjoyable. For someone who has been playing for over 6 years free flies suck
Server performance tends to be bad during the free flys, especially before the upcoming 4.0 patch which among many things brings server meshing.
16GB of ram isnt enough. I’m not sure why people keep insisting thats all you need in 2024. Many games take a performance hit with 16GB in their 1% lows because it hits the pagefile. In some games you can expect chugging and crashes.
@@GROGU123The web site says 16... Why, I don't know. I've found on my end, the game utilizes a constant 28. At this point. If you don't have 64GBs you are doing yourself a disservice.

Star Citizen is an incredibly stable and performant game when you're literally the only person on a server. Maybe one day there'll even be gameplay

SC runs like poo poo on my machine now it used run well with an average of 30 FPS, but now it stutters and freezes and my FPS is somewhere between 2 and 9 most of the time, completely unplayable, it takes forever for my inventory items to load and when it freezes it last for 5 to 10 seconds. I have a higher end machine so looks like I won't be playing until this is fixed or I get a new PC.
servers are terrible cuse of IAE , wait for 4.0 and put quality in the settings to medium or low , witch ever is the best for you
People always talk about the biggest and newest ships, and I am just comfy in my good ol' trusty Constellation Taurus. Just like your brain renders out your nose, your brain eventually renders out the struts.
Comments are about to be flooded with victims of star citizen stockholm syndrome
I REALLY want like this game. But they just keep on every year not actually making a game. It feels like every year its 50 new ships, maybe 5 are straight to flyable with none of the games features. Like where is engineering, where is functional escape pods, where is building? They have all these really cool features they want to give us but all they actually give us is some redundant ship. Maybe if they stopped with all the new ships, and focused on the ones they already have planed and the ACTUAL GAME IT WOULD GET RELEASED!
My, oh my! I was not an early backer of SC and had no idea of the first few years there.... What the hell were they thinking? Outsourcing stuff? Those years were clearly 99% wasted time imo.
If the scope had been clear from the start, and a dev team organically grown from the starta 10 years ago I think the state of the game today would have been completely different, BUT that also would hinge on engine stability. Switchin engines, or using a sub-par one for your purposes is also detrimental. So maybe it wouldn't be possible to fix the SC developemnt even with perfect hindsight.
Findom the game
🤣that meltdown at 4:30 just reminded me of that batman scene w/ joker "where's my electric car Bruce!" lol
actually that's kind of where I was going with that joke =}
Yeah, I too don't believe it's actually going to launch in 2026. They made a huge deal about how it was going to be groundbreaking and revolutionary back in 2016, then went quiet. I'll believe it when it's actually on shelves, but I'm expecting even worse than Cyberpunk 2077 launch usability.
Maybe I am a minority, but I don't want base building and ship customisation.
(I don't mind choosing pre made interior ship designs)
I want more quality of gameplay updates, I went from 'falling out my ship, to falling through space stations, planets... and yes still my ship.
i think they whant to ad base building to bring new player to the game , to entertaine old player because it will bring more meaning to the game , and to sell a lot of cosmetic item for it (not sayng it in a bad way)
Oh dude, subscribed. The rant about for farks sake lol
Think the scam part is mostly roping people into preordering an expensive ship and those ships are mia over a decade. I understand they couldnt finish the game due to ambition, but making ships is CIG's forte so they totally scammed those people.
SO so funny. Paid for pixels a decade ago and still don't have them 8^D
WARNING: don't buy Star Citizen thinking you can just put in the basic price for a starter ship and earn other ships in-game. CIG regularly randomly delete ships you buy in-game, effectively removing tens of millions of auec from your account whenever they release a patch. But this never happens to real money bought ships because of course it doesn't. They call this a bug but if so, it's a big that's very convenient for ship sales, and has been around for many years. They also have not given their support people any ability to restore these ships, ships that can easily take many months of in-game grinding to earn. So consider that before you spend any money on this project.
When you see it as MS Flight Sim in space it's ok. Since I "play" Star Citizen I don't play MSFS anymore because HQ spaceships and nice landscapes to explore. For just chilling and flying around it's good. Sleeping (log in/out) in ship, respawn in ship (thanks medbed/nursa) and restock with what you find evades most of bugs and if a bug hits you you respawn in your ship. Thus you can avoid broken hangars, clumsy inventory, elevators, waiting times and transportations on stations (=useless unfun timesinks).
I avoid all that by not buying unfinished early access garbage 🗑️
Elite Dangerous ... FTW
12 years, and the elevators still don't work.
Another great Yamiks video, as always.
Roberts: May the -Force- Scam be with you ;)
Remember folks, SQ42 absolutely IS the whole SC/Roberts/Merde front end. That means, with the bugfest that is SC, that SQ42 ain't releasing. Obviously !!!
covid was the best thing for them
Expect to see a flood of cultists swarm the comment. Grab the popcorn, the coping and seething is coming.
Yup, Star Scamizin cultists are the most militant cult out there... 🤣
Thanks Yamiks for your entertaining and eyeopening content again and again
15:54 gave me a good chuckle
Id pay to play a space game designed by yamiks.
...rushes to make itch.io page & a cheap ass asset-flip!
Signed up for SQ42 in 2013. Didn't follow it too closely. Just let it cook. Then I decided to check the PU in 2016 and went a little crazy. Even though there was barely a game in there, flying ships around was insanely fun for me. Tested Elite: Dangerous out a bit too. When 3.0 came out, I lost all interest in a few iterations. Huge empty universe where you walk around in installations and moons without anything to do wasn't very interesting. Veered heavily to Elite: Dangerous and stayed there.
I have been meaning to check SC out one of these days, but can't bring myself to do it. The information that does drift my way seems to indicate that it's becoming even less about flying spaceships.
Understand when you have been conned, start right here.
It's sad the amount of people who refuse to accept it's a scam.
lol, it's not a scam. Overly hyped and bloated? Absolutely. But a scam would imply they are not actually doing anything with the game, which is obviously not true.
It's sad the amount of people that can't accept its a game in development....
its poorly managed by a team that knows nothing about gamers and what their customers want. They cater now to the smallest niche crowd possible thinking thats the masses. I am a wing commander backer and not upset I lost money...is what it is. But logged in 2 days ago and was sooooooooooooooooooooooo bored I didn't even make it out the hangar. Its curiosity, others who drop large sums stay because they are financially tied.
Right now many would be happy to simply see S42 release and be good. And based on the demo, its minimum 60% cut scenes with real time rendering. They will catch hell for that.
@@draugr7693 I love people still calling it a scam... Lots of issues and time spent, yes. But they are making something that has the POTENTIAL to be amazing.
Seriously man, they've hired over 1,000 people, have studios on both sides of the Atlantic, even built a studio from the ground up, and even acquired a whole another company to help with development. That sure is a long way around to go to run a scam.
You have a better chance of dying than seeing star citizen release, invest in a casket and burial plot, you've got more chance of seeing that.
Dying is a certainty.....
Oh right, shit.
This still exists. I forgot, honest to goodness the truth. Man I feel old
Oh.... People still talk about this game? 😅 I suppose sunk cost fallacy is strong still. Oh well. 😂
Unfortunately, too many people see the slick ads and buy without watching a streamer try to operate Star Citizen. And existing whales are caught in the sunk cost quagmire. So while the money keeps flowing they'll keep messing around with idiotic changes that make the game even slower and more buggy instead of fixing bugs and fleshing out and finishing fun and playable game loops. Though at this point I'm not sure finishing anything is even possible with Chris in charge.
Just a week or two ago they nerfed fuel tanks so almost all small ships can no longer cross the single system they have released. Then they released a ship people have been waiting a decade for (and paid huge money for) and a few days later put up torpedo prices so high that nobody can afford to use that ship. Seriously it takes millions to restock that ship and nothing in the game generates that kind of cash.
It ranges between pure incompetence and malicious design and after all these years there's still not a single thing in the whole game that could be considered "finished".
You, Latvian boy, are one big shortcut 😂
im seriously racking my brain....what the hell does that even MEAN?!
Yo yamiks , when more ED content ? 😂
not soon.
@TheYamiks 😆
Hey! Pets are coming! But not for players 😂, Kopions for all NPC pirates
"x-mas season"
Looks like some "Science!" believer can't say "Christmas" because he'll loose social rating.
you are a great asset to the company
Epic video, ty man! ❤
I can't wait to watch my grandkids play this new game called star citizen
This one will be good, I know it
edit: Ekster also sponsors... Messi! Not bad lol, glad they contacted you
Its still not worth playing in my opinion. Its just too half baked as well as many other issues.
Ive been stressing this for years. When a company KEEPS a game in a EA state for TOO LONG. You essentialy kiss your product launch goodbye. So tarkov and this game have Already sold the game to the majority of the user base. Ok so what happends on release day 1.0. Nothing. Cause everyone whos gonna play it already has been. And others will already have decided this game is not good. Its a death sentence for a company.
Why would they even finish the game if they could make 750 milllion off of promises?
Star citizen today. I tried it, now I only have a GTX 3050, 32 gig ram and a i513th gen with ssd drives. I cant get more than 18FPS on a 4K monitor. It's utter shite.
4K monitor.. with a GPU that has (at best) 8 GB Vram.... mate... please learn about VRAM please or I'll call GPU-protective-services on you!
seriously thou : stuttering gets HORRIBLE as soon as even a MB is out of place, especiually for low end GPUs like this.
4k gaming isn't for the 3050
"The writing is really bad"... HUH
"There isn't any stats for weapons. They haven't figured it out yet. It disgust me and pisses me off"... HUH (erkul)
He was commenting on the fact that *in-game*, the info is missing. I love Erkul, but he has a point. No one should need to use third party sites to see stats.
@KaybeCA no because he said it was because they didn't figure stats yet. So he meant that we couldn't see stats at all anywhere.
But I do agree it should be ingame and not only on game files and erkul but I guess it's because nothing is definitive yet and all systems are not yet ingame for example with armor so they would loose time showing stats too early
I've played this game on and off since 2017, and to be honest they haven't figured out what stats they want. We had diversified quantum drives way back in early 3.x patches, then they were standardised, then they have only just been diversified again in 4.0. Ship weapons have also had similar cycles. We got master modes and now CIG are musing about removing them again, not to mention every other flight model rework. Time to kill has been changed more times than I can remember.
Don't get me wrong, I think they'll find something they like *eventually*, but it definitely isn't now.
All these people just ignore that there’s IN GAME MONEY there’s nothing forcing u to invest more money into the game then the initial amount that allows u to play. If u waste ur money on microtransactions it’s ur own problem, just move ur ass and sweat a lil bit and u can buy whatever u want in game
Looking forward to your video on the soon to be released star citizen in 2034.
You should come back to planetside 🙃
before it dies? yeah i've seen latest steamcharts.. man since Wrel left it's been in a sad dump...saddly
And it's still not finished
Everybody needs to consider it a dead game and stop giving it money so that the developers stop trying to sell new ships and finish the game.
🤣 I needed a good laugh
The moment this game goes full release the money tree dries up and dies.
The moment even mediocre players can earn ships in-game rather than get fed-up with waiting and cash-buying one (or several) the cash tree dries up and dies.
This probably wasn't intentional in the beginning but $750,000,000 later and it becomes the definning business model for CIG.
Actual unrealistic 'realistic' gaming: flaking out and deading because I didn't drink some water for 2 hours.. like seven hundred years in the future suit manufactureres haven't managed to incorporate a drinking tube into helmets with a CamelBak reservoir.
I've put probs £320 into the game over the last 4 years.. now all I do is open the launcher to check for updates.
I feel like game doesn't pioneer in technology, but rather wait it to be developed by someone else and copy it.
The noobs will need to watch this.
What the hell. Il watch it again for a laugh 😃
Some aspects of SC have been playable at any given time and some of those were occasionally fun.
I don't even consider it a bad game. It's just an alpha so there isn't much to judge, yet.
When it ever becomes a beta and we can see what features are even in we'll be able to tell something.
@gazz3867 dont judge an alpha... after 15 YEARS!?! Do you hear yourself? No alpha in history has gone on this long and they dont even have the basics of not falling through floors and elevators fixed.... after 15 YEARS. How many more times do they have to move the endgame goalposts of "beta/release" before you realize it will NEVER leave alpha. How many years to you becomes more of a parody and joke than 15 years? 20? 30? And dont say "oh thats silly" because thats EXACTLY what people were saying when people suggested 15 years a decade ago. 😄😆😅😄😆
Using Kotaku articles as references...... I gave this video the benefit of the doubt up until that point. After that, i'll be watching it as Satire. o7
Regardless, you know it's a cluster-f don't you?
Deep down, despite your significant emotional and financial investment, you understand that a 'game' in which, after a decade you are not sure if you'll survive using a lift is in a bad state don't you?
Adding 'features' on a broken foundation will never be a recipe for success, only failure.
15 years of game development and still unable to get in a ship, fly to a planet and do anything without a hitch? THAT is what i call satire. Its literally mocking the stupidity of the paying customer. 😄😄😆😆😆
Grumpy eye 2.0
i love this gamme, but i just hate that so many basic funtions, function properly. only more ships for more money and squadron 42... i haven't played it in 3 years
forgot the pupul to planet video in Dec 2015 (xmas present) that happened before Gamescom 2016, that accellerated the change to the new planetary landing possibility
i want trashcans in SC the despawns items like cans, people do try to use them even now
fu out of fun i did bui9ld a pyramit out of tehm one time
the same applies to ships in cities, they have to disappear after a certain time, as the server runs like shit after a handful of days due to dozens of ships leaving
the last time I saw it at the trade fair was 64 ships that were parked in a citys or landing pads from minig stations where a ship has been abandoned for days
as a player, you can't get rid of these becasue of weapons lock
it not much but it would help
Nice video even with the ...
