Looks like it. Watching streams it seems like they got the planetary landing part kinda sorta working which is the most effective boner fuel for nerds. The rest is a dumpster fire but enough wallets will be emptied to buy some time.

2.0 wasn't very good and bumped their daily (non sale days) income from ~30k to ~70k for about 3 months. That was two years ago though, are Citizens dumb enough to fall for it a second time?

I think he does a decent job of playing full cultist, often deploying snips of real devotee's arguments or distilling them to their essence for brevity. He's no kekeivlio (sorry for murdering your using name dude) but it's funnier than constantly posting screenshots of the same drivel because this way people here bite on his rereg's then play puppetmaster which is more entertaining than slapfights with moma

Come out with your pants down!
Every stream I check out I accidentally read chat and always see some loving dickhead going "This game has more content than Battlefront 2/Skyrim/Witcher 3/almost any other game ever and it's only in alpha!"

Meanwhile I'm watching some loving guy running around a dead base trying to find a door to the hangar where his ship is for 20 minutes. Then he clips through the railing of a starcase he's on and dies from blood loss moments later.

Comments like that make me unreasonably angry. What loving content, you little turd? It's a loving insult to developers who spend years crafting interactive worlds with complete gameplay loops. No one actually gives a gently caress how many Skyrims you can fit in the puckered anus-crater of a lovely planetoid devoid of life, because it's only surface area. You can fit a billion Star Citizen into Elite: Dangerous, and people still grow tired of that game after 30 hours.

If I had to have this discussion with an actual person in real life it would immediately result in a hectic argument and I wouldn't stop until we were physically fighting. And yes, I own the fact that I'm the psycho in this scenario.

Guys, I noticed that the world has changed and that nothing will ever be the same.

I tried playing a game I bought on sale during the Steam sale but it's almost as if gaming has been revolutionized somehow.

Did something happen with Star Citizen?

I once saw a guy insist that he had played Star Citizen more than all the games in his Steam library combined

Maybe it was true; maybe he only had a copy of Bad Rats that someone gifted him as a joke

You all must have forgotten this is an ALPHA product, of course there are bugs. The important thing is that it's at least somewhat playable.

If you wanna poo poo on 3.0 you could start with the fact it's not fun and will never be fun, or that the promised emergent gameplay careers associated with movable boxes could be months away, or that this is year 6 of production.

Watching the NPC take a "space dump" position like you'd do in the middle of the woods was certainly comical.

This dude is playing disconnected from the server so get gets a much better framerates, so you get a better idea of how stuff should look.

The LOD pop-up, regular pop-up, and Superman64 fog do show that the engine needs to be heavily optimized.

CIG are operated like a household with no parents around: no one to enforce bedtime, no one to make sure the kids don't eat only sweets, no one around to call the fire brigade if the children play with matches, and no one to ensure the kids don't play in the street.

Don't worry, everyone's thrilled with 3.0. They won't realize it's not fun, and will never be fun, until roughly 10 days from now.
