(Note: I doubt Chris Roberts knows how to use his own forums much less other social media. He's about as much "into computers" as a shark is into a school of fish. [He's only there because they taste good and are dumb, but won't hang out with them on his own])

I can help
These latest most sane/ clear minded reactions that come as an aftermath to the CitCon and the subsequent ATV video, which surprisingly quite a few rushed to claim that it had again showed them the true light and they regreted their disbelief, are the equivalent of someone in a sitcom realising that the joke is on them a minute later than everyone else (and the audience) does.

Pretty much. Game locked up, was wonky as poo poo in general. The ships turned so quickly, I'm not sure how you're supposed to "do" combat other than thrust around off axis, and keep your opponent loosely in front of you while you keep clicking on them. Maybe the combat strategy is in where you shoot them?

There wasn't much to do. Fly to a space relay, shoot two pirates, press a button. Fly back. Blow up waves of dumbass bots. Race, I guess?

Never got around to firing personal weapons. Tried to buy a laser pistol, couldn't figure out how.

Game could use some kind of instruction. Ultimately, you rub up against things and mash F until something happens, or stops happening.

I honestly can't see how they could start from scratch, take 4 or 5 years, get to where they are now, and think that they were going to end up anywhere.


Maybe there's a game in there that's worth playing, but I can't see it.

Funny fact....the tutorial they used to have (which was basically little more than what one would expect from a scripted SQ42 mission) was so buggy that, even though they left it in for ages, they finally just hacked it out instead of fixing it......
