Kings need not raise their voices to be heard

For all you 'pay to win' whiners posted:

When the game goes retail...You will NOT be able to buy the ships with real money.... Those who participated in alpha will get to keep anything they bought with real money... Everyone else is starting with a starting package.. 40-60 range...

So quit whining... the alpha crowd will be a minority compared to the retail crowd if this game explodes as planned..

quote:

You don't think there may be a few more NMS and ED 'refugees'? You don't think those who have been sitting on the fence or swallowing the 'It's a scam! BS' might just take another look? There are many, many who comment that they will get the game as soon as they can afford a PC good enough to run it, if Vulkan and Gen12 lower those entry requirements uptake will increase. A similar situation exists for those in areas of poor internet connection. 6 Years ago I gifted a starter package to a 'starving college student', he graduated, got a job and now posts in the Concierge section of the forums. Lot's of young people will come of age in the next 2 - 3 years, and Star Citizen is virtually unheard of outside of western Europe and the USA because there is no language localisation - yet.

There are those who are only interested in Squadron 42 right now, they think that the two games won't be connected and that the range of activities is not the same in Squadron 42. They may very well change their minds when they find they can do much more than they thought they could.

There are many comments on Youtube and Twitch streamers chat that suggest the above scenarios are a good possibility, and there are those who simply say.. I'll wait until the game is in a more finished form. More people playing and streaming means more people see the game, growth has gone almost exponential in the last two years and there is more and more 'content' to come in the next year. Right now you have to search out the game on Youtube and Twitch, their algorithms wouldn't tell you about the game if you were heavily into other games you think (or the YT and Twitch algorithm think) are not related. Most have no idea about the game, much less the huge scope of it... this is where other games like ED and NMS give a false impression of what space games are. Bethesda's Starfield may actually improve Star Citizen uptake if it really is a 'Skyrim V in space'.

Right now, because we don't have persistence, there is no narrative. There is no 'Living Breathing Universe'. There is much more content already created being held back because of this lack of persistence but when it goes in it will change everything because people love a story and there are going to be loads of them. It used to be that if you had one years full $20 subscription you could name and give a back story to an outlaw character on Spider - they stopped it in early 2016 because so many had qualified to be able to create a character - that's one location in the universe. Star Citizen is going to be one long soap opera expanding into the future, it is nothing like any other space game out there, and when they see that it isn't all about space pew pew and trucking they'll prick up their ears.

If CIG can get the VR right (and VR is getting cheaper and cheaper) that will make Star Citizen unique as the only massive open universe MMO VR experience out there. The limiting factor is that it runs on PC when most do their gaming on consoles, but Star Citizen has modules that 'could' be ported to consoles... as their hardware improves. Chris did not say 'Never consoles'.. he said that he couldn't see consoles having the hardware to support the full game as they were 8 to 10 years ago. Console hardware has improved and it is not wholly necessary to run 'the whole game' to get the Star Citizen experience of Theatres of War and Arena Commander.

There are some other unique capabilities that will be in the game - sports and live events for example, you saw an opera singer aboard an 890J in the Gatsby video they can stream other live actors into the game because it was designed to enable live content that may prove to be attractions all by themselves for 'casual visitors' who had no idea you don't need to buy, fly and fight in ships to see the spectacle.

$45 is well within most PC owners capabilities and there will be things coming to Star Citizen you just can't get anywhere else. Those who love roleplay games will have an epiphany when this game goes live.

hbag I'm going to :siren:mod challenge:siren: you.

you are not to post in this thread again until you have posted a ~10 minute video, which depicts you earnestly attempting to have fun in the video game star citizen. up to you if you include commentary.

Failure to comply with these straightforward requirements will lead to a ban + 30. i will allow one (1) post acknowledging this challenge.

IMO, I feel like this does count as an earnest attempt to have fun with the videogame Star Citizen, though it might be hard to make into a video.

Make a 10 minute video of yourself following the steps in random forum posts to get the game to boot. Exciting pagefile and file permissions management.

Doing that while having fun would basically just be hbag hardcore rp’ing as a citizen of The Fourth Stimpire.
