HELP ME
It'll never be finished though, don't you see? That's the beauty of this whole thing; you only get refunds if they abandon it (they never will unless they go bankrupt), the game can't be reviewed (negatively at least) because it's in a constant state of un-finished-ness and it's unfair, and the game will never get a proper release because it will always be :airquote:updated:airquote: like other MMOs WoW and EVE.

Star Citizen will never be finished, released, or finalized; Crobberts himself said so.

i think if they got up to $120 million they'd have enough to finish the game

Well, they said they needed $20-something million to make it, but have gone 12x over budget for mocap. If we extrapolate that out, they'll need $240+ million to pull it off with the new, enhanced scope & maximal fidelitousness.

I can attest to that. Just received mine after 4 weeks, and the smell of kerosene is unmistakable. I wore it today for early breakfast at the local Chinatown, and fit right in with other track suit wearing Asian-Americans (preferred nomenclature)

Well in 5 months they have managed to graft on clothes shopping so now 80% of screenshots of the glitchy bug filled mess features men in underpants. Other than that they are still talking about how they have to rewrite pretty much the entire engine one piece at a time.

So if it's not actually in maintenance mode it might as well be.

Clearly Derek was wrong. If the PTU was put into maintenance mode, wouldn't it be at least staying the same?

Instead, it is spiraling into destruction. CIG didn't put it into maintenance mode after all. :smug:

Like with most things, CIG's work on the PU has been reactionary and clothes shopping is no exception. Their best and brightest are working on SQ42, but they couldn't just leave the PU to languish or DSizzle and the goons would be proven right. So they committed whoever they could to adding a persistent feature to the persistent universe at the exact time that CRobbers was complaining about programmers for that sort of thing being hard to find. The best part is that all the clothes use some old system that will be replaced by rigging 2.0 or character pipeline 2.0 or some other bullshit with a made up marketing name so it's all just a huge waste of money at a time where the cash hose is rapidly drying up.

Actually putting the PU into maintenance mode would've been a better decision, but CIG must never ever lose face to a bunch of yodeling boobs on the internet so here we are.

EVE: Valkyrie + Oculus is pretty sweet.
It's very limited, but the DAKKA DAKKA levels are through the roof.

Also, it highlights very well how much of a fail SC is even in the basic pewpew department.
