I think it's funny that every now and then someone posts the equivalent of "Keep pushing guys, I have a feeling the top is right ahead, just keep going!"

[Kszyhu]

I'm sure that's very immature, but I enjoy all those people using "chit" as a replacement of an another four letter word.

I am amazed reading how negative the citizens have become. It's almost like they are starting to see the light.

Wow ... things sure have changed in Citizen Land.

If that community goes into critical meltdown eventually, ... it's gonna cause the first internet singularity, or something. ;-)

a fresh instalment in the annals of Wikipedia's Lamest Edit Wars, starring the mysterious Phantom Hoover, hits the front page of /r/starcitizen

First ED and now this. You're a menace, Hoover

It's good to know they're still moving those goalposts.

"No, we didn't spend the entire $150 million on the game. That's stupid. We blew a ton on hookers and blow and new cars and stuff."

or

"Sorry our game isn't done yet, we didn't spend all the money you gave us on fixing it, we spent it on pretty ads to get more money."

Hellion early access is launching in about an hour. Hellion is a space sim multiplayer game played from first person perspective, with elements of simulationism, and all that in AAA quality. It is the only other game I am aware of that aims to scratch that Star Citizen itch. SC may finally get some much needed competition..

SC still doesn't have competition.  Hellion is a completely different type of product.  Like Elite Dangerous, it's an actual game.  Star Citizen is not.

Hellion and ED are production cars doing laps on a track.  SC is an 8 year old saying he's drawing the bestest car ever.

Have you heard of Elite Dangerous? It's pretty great.

[Aesaar]

Elite Dangerous doesn't count for maslo because acknowledging it would require him to confront the fact that it's closer to what SC wanted to be than SC itself is.

Its pretty good but you cant leave your seat so it is a game with quite different scope compared to SC or Hellion.

[12:11.49] <Caiaphas> walking around is the most important feature in any game about spaceships
[12:12.52] <Caiaphas> how can i possibly enjoy a spaceship game in space if i can't go take a **** in my ship's toilet?

It's also the only thing SC has that ED doesn't.  And spacelegs is something Frontier is working on (and unlike CIG, they've been pretty good about delivering that sort of content regularly).  What happens when it's added and ED has everything SC has + a whole actual game?

its important for muh immersion, like it or not it is a MAJOR selling point of SC (and Hellion).

I hope ED adds it too but hopefully it wont end up like their implementation of procedural planets, with very little gameplay depth and little stuff to do

which is actually a problem with Elite Dangerous in general

Elite is not a bad game at all but it is not some kind of a shining gem either

Actually this whole space sim renaissance has yet to deliver a game that could be considered above average. Even when it comes to Hellion alpha, as much as I love the concept, I expect it to suffer from serious lack of content.

I remain positive though, between SC working on 3.0, ED slowly but surely moving towards space legs, and now Hellion, we may yet get something actually good to play in time.

You keep saying that as if SC isn't going to have this exact issue as well.

The point being raised is that Star Citizen still isn't a game.  All that's been delivered under the Star Citizen brand is a tech demo for CryEngine (or Lumberjack or whatever they're calling it these days) that's all full of bugs.

I really would like a game about walking around your spaceship, but that game looks fundamentally different from E:D or SC and probably doesn't have a big emphasis on space dogfighting. Turns out games can only do so many things at once before the mechanics start to clash and make each other less fun!

Mace Griffin did it all years ago.

So?
I want to fly spaceships, not play an ordinary fps.

Tie Fighter didn't have space legs and it's still one of the best spacesims EVER.

Admiral Petrarch still hasn't found out that I was the one pissing on the door to his quarters.  That's what you get, if you put me on the early morning CAP.
