that's also GBS circa 2016 except over-invested posters were keeping track of the superstars instead of using a forums-based points system

someone bought me a copy of this game and on my first game i got out of bed fully clothed, found the ship getter, got into the airlock, failed to change into my space clothes, died and uninstalled the game.

I'm glad Sierra adventure games are back.

So besides the airlock thing does this game have cool space quest deaths where if you punch buttons in the wrong order your space craft explodes or just a floor that gives way to acid or something?

Basically, is this poo poo show the biggest waste of money the games industry has ever seen?

There have been games where a lot of money was spent and zero product came out. A metric fucknut of money was spent of SC but there exists a lovely half built product. To answer your question, yah probably.

Few other lol things.

They haven't really started working on Female models yet because ( lol) there aren't really any female characters in S42 its mostly males age 25-40.

The facial DNA that they are hyping up as something truly amazing and ground breaking is something they bought from someone and they were going to scrap it but they somehow managed to Frankenstein it into the engine.

They said a lot of stuff off the cuff but honestly at this point I'm having a hard time coming up with anything they have actually made vs something they bought and spent a poo poo load of time trying to get to work with the engine that they also bought.

Real ground breaking stuff here.

Most facials are chocked full of dna

Yeah, the Million Mile High Club (because ew)



It was a fancypants bar for people who had given them... I wanna say $1000? It wasn't all that much. Anyway the "bouncer" (read: static NPC) was the first black person/POC/human that wasn't printer paper white to ever be seen in any Star Citizen media and goons made fun of CIG because it was just so loving blatantly idiotic. I can't remember if they replaced him or just got rid of the bouncer altogether.

Do they charge real world drink prices for an e-scotch?

The cultists recruit new people for the game. They are basically a marketing department that works for free. They'll release video after video of the game (never actually showing anything negative) and constantly talking up what an amazing game it is on forums as well

Then a non-cultist releases a fair video and the game looks like dogshit at which point the cultists will flock to the video and go "IT'S JUST AN ALPHA MORON"

but are they actually roping in new whales? jumps like that are coming from the big time jpeg buyers

Except despite being a silly "lol manually fired guns on a spaceship" you can see those guns have autoloaders with belt fed shells and they just have a gunner to pull the trigger. None of this "load shells into a shell loader then load that loader into a lifter to load shells into the launcher.

Also the primary driver of the technology in the star wars world is recreating shots from classic movies and then retconning the whole world to accept that technology.

That's literally space quest 2, also a game where you can die in an elevator.

It's like if Tommy Wiseau was seen as a filmmaking expert whose opinion on the craft was somehow relevant... loudness aside.

If someone crowdsourced the film version of star citizen tommy wiseau would absolutely be the relevant expert to discuss the process

You’d never guess it due to the AMAZING amount of content, more than every other AAA game combined, but yes! It is still in alpha! How long was Gmail in beta? They refuse to rush perfection and that’s why they’ll always have my respect!!!

To be fair if they are still developing the feature set then it probably should be listed as an alpha and they're using it correctly unlike everyone else.

Is there any way this ends without bankruptcy and assets being sold for scrap, with a barely playable single player game hitting the steam discount bin?

I mean obviously they're going to strip the foundation to the studs before they shut down but they're fully profitable now without a game, they have the best subscription model with free money and just need the best embezzlement setup to extract maximum cash from the company.
