Herald of the Stimpire
The Mars One plan to put people on a one-way trip to Mars is promising quick delivery of many things. I think the leaders of Mars One and Star Citizen have a lot in common in their way to try to persuade people to give them money.

"And again Lansdorp said the Mars One plan will likely change. The budget and timeline on the company's website is simply based on the best information it had at the time, Lansdorp said.
"We'll continue to update our plan with the data we get," Lansdorp said."

"Will it take longer to deliver all this? Of course! When the scope changes, the amount of time it will take to deliver all the features naturally increases."

Nostalgia and "ultimate immersive experience" are compelling for 35-year-old manchildren because they remember playing games when they were 13 or 14 when their brains were a lot more malleable and easily immersed in fantasy worlds. But a lot of the games they played then were pretty lovely.

I mean I'm a horrible nerd too but that's the reason.

Many gamers really do not know 'what' Star Citizen offers....

I went into game that offered me a free play (Will not say the game since this is not about what game I was in but about Star Citizen).
Once I got setup in general chat I asked "Anyone going to play Star Citizen?" right away I was attacked and told from that its a scam to vaporware to STFU noob.....

So after the attackers died down I went on to say "How weird, all this hate at a video game! Of all things in life you all hate a video game. I think this game (the un-named one I was in), Star Citizen and even ED has much to offer. Each game is space based but offers something different the other does not. I like them all myself and do not understand why anyone would think variety is a bad thing."

Few minutes later some peeps started commenting things like "Ya, I hope Star Citizen does good because the public has been scammed and broken promises so much in the past it's hard to not to see a game offering what SC does and not be majorly gun shy"

Then I went onto to explain some of the features SC offers. No skills or end game, sandbox, loaning your ships out, link to Death of a Spaceman and no monthly sub's needed and private servers you can customize.

To my surprise most of them knew nothing of this at all and few of them said they wanted to look more into SC.

So what we see here is classic mob mentality.
They hate SC, but never really took a deep dive into what it offers.

Just wanted to share something interesting I noticed about some of the haters.

After mullling the problem over a bit, I can only conclude those guys must be addicted to video games. What they think is ennui is just their brain getting numb from their latest fix, so they need a new one. The games "feel stale" for them because after playing games for so long, their brains simply stopped releasing that weird happyness drug (I forgot what it was called) endorphines. If they want to have fun playing games again, they actually would need to stop playing for a while.

Star Citizen is of course the perfect drug for them, since they can't play it. So it will always be the hope which keeps them addicted. If it ever comes out, even a perfect game would leave them strangely bored after two weeks. Of course it always will the game's fault, never the junkie's.

Edit:

Yeah and 3 to 4 years later there is absolutely nothing indicating that poo poo exists. There are only disparate, broken as gently caress, poorly optimized 'modules' with no sense of how they will fit together.

They had to use year old footage for a 'sneak preview' of their alpha 2.0. Nobody except Star Citizen fucktards would let a developer get away with pulling that poo poo. And it wasn't even loving gameplay. It was an old pre reneder. They couldn't even be loving bothered to put together a new pre render. And their excuse for not showing anything? 'Oh it is in Q&A, not much to show'.

For your retarded brain, that means the thing is nearly done and only bugs are being worked out. So there is plenty to show in theory. But nope, not a thing.

Anyone who has half a loving brain can smell the poo poo coming from this unwashed rear end in a top hat of a project and has enough sense to stay the gently caress away. They haven't met one deadline and all the other poo poo that went on, and you are describing loving features that haven't been demonstrated after 90 million. They haven't even proved they can get the server architecture for a PU. Only people as loving stupid as you would give this any thought at this point.

I can't get over the fact that you could buy in-game money before we know how valuable that money will be.

It's going to be hilarious if you spend 20 bucks on 20k credits, only to have the first mission of the game give you 40k. (Not that we'll ever have missions or anything)

Hahaha they are selling in game currency when there is no footage of the PU or evidence of a playable PU, holy loving poo poo.

Star Citizen is the worst of the internet and gaming combined. Bitcoin, microtransactions, pay-to-win, 'early access' that never goes anywhere, Scientology, buying concept art...loving hell.

Even Russian and Chinese knock off games weren't this loving greedy. And at least they were games you could play. lovely games, but games. Even games that sold in game currency before the game was out had something you could play and spend that money on.

Starcitizens are the biggest bunch of sycophantic gullible retards I have ever seen in my life.

It's done, he's talking to the guy now and I don't see what the big deal is, this is the same guy Chris Roberts tried to get to help him launch the Wing Commander reboot with EA "I also had the responsibility of going through Chris's plans in great detail when Star Citizen was still a Wing Commander reboot with a license from EA and a $25M budget."

There was some document of this on screen but I wasn't quick enough to get a screen grab.

So if Chris Roberts and Derek Smart have both spoken to this guy at least Derek's wife hasn't song the Nazi national anthem yet, Chris Roberts can't say that.

This makes me want to see it. This really is a good rebuttal to everybody freaking out over this. The feds will give immunity to complete psychopaths to get inside info on a criminal conspiracy. This racist Vox GaySuckingSatan'sCockinHellGuy is an infected anal cyst on the body politic, but I have't heard of any mafia (swedish or otherwise) murder allegations leveled on him, and he has valuable, rare information on this ongoing criminal conspiracy. Even better, this racist poo poo head was involved before it went bad, so he isn't even tarred with the criminality of the enterprise. He can speak to the original project and how it started out.

Is a recording up yet? I need to do dishes and make some cold brew coffee, so I do need something to listen to.

No no no. D_Smart is the type of nazi who joins the party only after Hitler gets elected Chancellor and starts taking control, so that he can maintain his business connections and maybe get government contracts. He makes mad money before the war and joins the SS after it starts. He doesn't give a poo poo about jews, leaving that to his fellow officers, and prefers to go after glory by leading shock troops in the great encirclement battles.

D_Smart is the type of nazi who leads his ss unit to the Allied occupied areas of Germany at the tail end of the war and then quietly moves to Argentina. He wouldn't get caught in Berlin and have to decide between a bullet to the head and Russian capture. That's chump level nazi bullshit
