    Hey now, I enjoy Star Citizen when it’s not completely bugging out or disconnecting me.

    Should you pour money into the project though? Probably not.

        The game is like 90% setup and staging with bugs stopping you, and 10% fun and engaging gameplay. That 10% has so much promise, I just wish they would cut the bullshit and make a fucking game already.

            Oh for sure. I’m not a fan of Roberts, and in-game I play as a character that does everything possible to fight the corporate interests.

              Yet you automatically wear a mobiGlas™® like everyone else even while ostensibly being an outlaw, wearing a corporate tracking device. Curious! very-intelligent

                  That’s actually a damning thing about it: the company that makes the eternal (pre, because it’s not feature complete) alpha wants it to seem deep and complex as a setting but it’s a lot of aging 90s mall aesthetics and Silicon Valley techbro motifs.

                    No, my roleplay is not that deep.

                    I hate Star Citizen as a project, and I would never defend Roberts / Cloud Imperium.

                    What I do love is the complexity of certain game features, and exploring the system with my friends. I backed the project 10 years ago because it came with a copy of Squadron 42, with their Persistent Universe stuff being just a bonus. Admittedly I didn’t do much research into the project, and it wasn’t very expensive for a gamble to me at the time. I’m unhappy with the results 10 years later, but I get a small amount of joy out of playing it every so often.
