I think its funny that Old Republic with nearly 100% voice acting didnt cost nearly as much as Star Citizen with its.... uhhh....things.
Yeah the upcoming Elite expac is getting me back in as well, and I'm sure it will be as dull as every non-combat thing in Elite.

Im really enjoying these dramatic retelling of peoples' adventures in the nightmare hellscape of Silent Hill Citizen, it reminds me of the last time I tried to "play" this dumpsterfire. I managed to make it down to the lobby of the wankpalace, summon a working ship, then get trapped in the hanger because nothing tells you to press F11 for tower coms. After finally figuring that out, I managed to actually have a super boring flight out to one of the lovely worthless moons and eventually die of exposure somehow in my spacesuit.
Fuckin rad.

By mid next week, Egosoft will have released 2 space aim games with 2 expansion packs each in the time since the SC Kickstarter began, with way more features, more ships and even an engine rewrite in the mix.


With a 20-member team and sub.$1m/year in revenue

I own X4, whats the other game coming out? Are you talking about the Rebirth VR thing?
Cradle of Humanity is an expansion for X4 if thats what you're talking about.

EDIT: Hot drat the Terran ship redesigns look loving siiiiick.

I got X4 at launch but only started playing it a few months ago. It's a really great game since the Split Vendetta expansion and Cradle of Humanity looks fantastic.

Oh man the Split game start is basically X4's version of Klingons and its loving awesome.
Everspace 2 is adding a bunch of new stuff soon looks like.

Im amused that this "tank" is somehow less realistic than a Space Marine Land Raider, at least the Raider kinda looks plausable. For one, it actually has an engine compartment.

That UE4 update sounds really helpful for smaller dev studios to make cool spaceship games, that thing that Star Citizen aint.

once again, if they don't want pvp, what they really want is just X4 and an irc client so you can chat with the people they don't want to interact with.

at the end of the day, the PVP slider will just let players set themselves to "noclip through everything" because that the only way to become ungriefable

Yeah the cultists absolutely just want mmo X4, they just are infected with severe sunk cost so they cant actually admit it without having some kind of mental breakdown.
I realized the instant the devs explained how they were going to simulate every system that it would never work on the scale they were claiming, and its been an amazing shitshow ever since.

Edit: Admittedly mp X4 would be broken in all kinds of insane ways.

Yeah its more about art direction than fidelity anyway, take something like Homeworld. The original release still looks amazing even though its old as gently caress, its art direction is stellar so it ages super well.
