All of Star Citizen's bugs are caused by elevated levels of FUD in the game's atmosphere simulation. If THOSE loving GOONS would just stop making GBS threads on Star Citizen it would run bug-free at 120 fps.

I began to lose faith in SC the first time I loaded the hanger module (back when that was all there was) and it was a janky mess for a walk around a ship based on Cry Engine. That set off alarm bells.

I lost it entirely when I first went into Arena Commander, where the UI was an unusable mess, and Arena Commander itself was just awful.

I really have not had the heart to load it up much since then, I think I tried about a year ago, but the installer crashed, so I went and played something playable instead.

That was basically my experience. I watched SC for over a year from when I heard about it because even the initial pitch sounded like bullshit pipe dreams to me. I didn't know who Chris Roberts was, and only cared enough to do basic diligence which almost immediately revealed an incompetent nerd hack who lies for a living. I finally bought in when a starter package was $25 just to experience it. Loaded into the hanger, and instantaneously knew that the project was completely hosed. I've never experienced anything like it. It was this visceral combination of confusion and depression, that I can only assume was some part of my brain close to the stem sending alarm signals through the entire cortex saying "Everything about this is WRONG, get OUT of here." I loaded up Arena Commander and was treated to the lazy freakshow circus CIG calls a flight model, and after about 10 minutes of trying to shoot enemy ships in perpetual fly-by mode, I said welp, this entire design hopelessly hosed. Absolutely nothing in the game looks, feels, or controls right. It never has, and it never will. It's hands-down the worst piece of gaming software I've ever had the misfortune of "playing," and anyone who thinks Star Citizen will magically become "good" someday is too stupid to live.

I did the same thing, but my first real experience was playing star marine and I was all "well this is completely hosed in every way, from movement to shoot feel and I don't think there's much to be done about it except scraping it entirely and starting completely over"

Oh god I hope so. Instead of giving everyone a room in their hangar like they promised years ago selling apartments on a space station because they've failed to meaningfully link the weird separate modules of their game would be so amazing.

I just can't loving believe it. The mass, pressure, and ratio of ARGON. Cross-sectional area. How about you guys mock up mining, throw out of few asteroids, and try building a game? How about you guys, oh I don't know, add some code so that two people can shoot at each other in a space ship? Let's see what should our devs work on next? How about ANY aspect of persistence? Jesus loving christ, it's so transparent how stupid Chris Roberts, and his whole leadership team is. There is a 0% chance that they finish this "game." It's already way, way past the point of "irreducible number of errors" because it's needlessly complex in areas that do NOTHING, and completely void in areas that constitute "game" and "play."

How can anyone be involved in this? How can the leaders be this incompetent and lie so effortlessly in order to make money? How can these streamer shills perpetuate CIG's fraudulent marketing? How can any CIG developer or artist face their conscience? But most of all, how can these backers...

I mean that's too loving much. I'm full up. Peak Citizen. loving mass, loving pressure, and loving ratio of loving ARGON, PER ROOM. Oh my god, that is literally the dumbest premature gold-plated feature ejaculation I've ever seen. It's like.. I don't even know what it's like, I can't even make a joke.

How are they two different things you loving moron. X acres of sectioned off space land cost 100$. Or instead, they sell you a beacon that is good to claim X acres of space land for 100$ (and it probably only works in certain areas)
