Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

You had 95% of filler with walking around and flying and 5% of actually doing anything

10 hours of cutscenes, longer than any Metal Gear Solid game with you having to endure Chris Roberts' writing and direction and none of Kojima's fun insanity.

Their sole showing of SQ42 was the intro cutscene (where they clearly blew all their money and time on, with Gary Oldman sounding like a 95 year old man but looking like Gary Oldman) and a pre-tutorial which was barely finished and again, was nothing but walking and listening

No solid dates on anything. 'Soon', 'The near future'.

No appreciable amount of time spent on actual gameplay, which was about less than 1/3 of the convention. The rest was spent on Sandy, The studio roundup, motion capture and the Squadron 42 movie.

There is now a referral program for making your friends star Citizens. You get rewards for anyone who purchases the game and uses your ID code. Its like what real games do. Except it has transformed itself into a literal pyramid scheme by making its supporters recruiters for the company, only they get non-monetary compensation. There is no product they are selling. It is something that doesn't exist. It is like people selling bad stock to other people getting rewarded with more bad stock, while the scam artist gets the actual money.

Thanks :) Also :laffo:. The best nothing I ever didn't spend any money on.

"It’s ok PC gamers – Star Citizen backers took a lot of the flak and a lot of the risk but you’re welcome guys – Here is the game for PC that will respect your gaming platform of choice by pushing it to the limits and doing what other companies were afraid to do.

No one needs to join the game as $45 for a base package and the game being developed is not for everyone – feel free to wait it out for release we’ll welcome you to space with open arms when you decide to join us."

The comments under news articles are absolute goldmines of delusion and insanity. This is true of anything, but ESPECIALLY Star Citizen.

I really can't wait for the crash. I hope it all falls apart spectacularly, right in front of their faces.

Did they mocap that from someone who has never sat down before or did they just attach the camera to the face of the player model and say "that's gotta work right?"

People will be ruined? Hilarious actually, because anyone with a loving brain cell saw this coming as soon as CRoberts ditched the Kickstarter "Vision" and turned it into this abortion we see today. Luckily, some of people figured it out before it was too late, so there's hope for them.

I just hate that CRoberts and gang are getting rich off of it . If only the whole world could just burn.

btw, as I had previously reported, Sandi was about to quit. That's what the embarrassing opening scene drama was about. But Erin ruined it when he interrupted her at the last minute.

I could care less about Chris Roberts, but some people put a lot of money into this game that will never see a cent back. Of course I put nothing into it, because Chris Roberts of course.
