someone said blacklist and that was a good idea. someone suggested a game from a genre that hasn't been interesting since the first time I played it on some flash games site. please do not be offended.

I'm not too concerned if people recommend things I don't want to play, because then I just won't play them. not really seeing the big deal here in the "Games Chat Thread"

Ehhhhh I bought Terran Conflict I think and thought I'd get some awesome space dogfighting simulator but it ended up being closer to eve. On that note, are there any awesome space dogfighting simulators? I want to shoot things in space like that one level in unreal tournament 2004

ok real talk where did the whole thing about Star Citizen being a scam come from? I've heard it a billion times here but absolutely nowhere else and at a casual glance it kinda looks like they're actually delivering on everything (even if it's taking a while)

is it just "Kickstarter game with dumb nerd fanbase, CLEARLY SCAM" and nothing else?

Its a kickstarted game where you can buy fake ships with thousands of real dollars and the game isn't even close to being out yet

I don't know that it's a scam but the idea of paying hundreds, or in some cases, thousands of dollars for a spaceship in an unreleased game sounds at the very least like taking advantage of people and it's hard not to judge the team for even offering that kind of thing. Also the fans are as nutty as you'd expect.

People spending huge chunks of money for imaginary ships is really mockable, so people will mock.

people are covering this pretty well but to reiterate: a small number of people are paying literally thousands of dollars for spaceships in a videogame that isn't out yet with no real guarantees on that investment

they're basically venture capitalists for whom the returns on their investment are not huge shares of potential longterm profits, but rather imaginary spaceships that may or may not give them a numerical advantage in battle in a game that doesn't really exist yet

that's pretty funny whether or not it meets your definition of a scam

also, they have officially taken in more funding than the entire production cost of skyrim now

star citizen is a loving scam in every sense. people get this false sense of superiority by paying ludicrous amounts of money on a photo of a ship and a promise that some day, not tomorrow, not next year, or even the year after, there is a chance the ship will finally get rendered in a virtual game, and then they can ride their spaceship, and crash it or get blown up by space pirates or something.

If somebody wants to send me $10,000, I will send you a video game in which you are in charge of your very own spaceship. It will be a link to awesome video game, the Ur-Quan Masters, and the money will just be you getting some nice karma for rewarding a guy who gave you a tip about a great old game.

A significant amount had already changed between the time the manual was printed and the release of the game.

It's definitely worth 20 bucks imo. The game falls apart in a couple fairly big ways but it is by no means as crappy as people say it is. Whether it's worth MORE than 20 or not is up for debate.
