Wow. Hard to believe that Hard Light of all places would be such an obvious part of Derek Smart's FUD campaign. Chris Roberts is doing something that has never been done before, and they're pretty far along given that development only spooled up (that's a bit of Battlestar Galactica lingo for you) two years ago. I've got a Cutlass and she's a great ship to fly in the PU. And Star Marine is easily a $60 game by itself.

Yup.  Nobody before Chris Roberts has ever sent a video game to development hell by expanding the scope way too far.

Insert a picture with that meme-worthy book here. "Everyone That Disagrees With Me is Derek Smart: The Emotional Child's Guide to Star Citizen Arguments."

wow haters remind me how long line of defence has been in development

[Axem]

Well Battlecruiser 3000 was released in 1996 and Derek was born in 1852, so really he's had 567 years to make it and its still in early access?

Chessmate, Smart-fans.

Sarcasm? I can't tell.

I am truly sorry for your lots

[Azrael15]

I was just playing a round of Titanfall 2 and I was just thinking how phenomenal it is that Chris Roberts (PBUH) has seen fit to not include anything in Star Marine like incredibly responsive wall-running movement, giant robots that each have a varied and vital role, cool powers that change how you move and fight like the grapple hook or phase cloak, and interesting character designs that illustrate the blurred line between man and machine in the fictional universe's narrative landscape. This allows Star Marine to get to, and excel at, the core FPS experience: awkwardly circle-strafing your opponents in rectangular rooms while holding down the left mouse button.

Thank you for reading.

Wow. With the amount of sarcasm dripping from every word there, I think we need to break out the hip waders...

I've never 180d so fast from owning to getting owned

Think we should just call Roberts' Law here.

I will gladly take 140mil in crowdfunding, thank you.

PBUH?

PBUH?

Peace Be Upon Him.

Also, I'm all for "breaking boundaries" with games, especially space games, but how do people not realize that changing the original plan based on how much money you have is a terrible idea? How is it such a bad thing to want to have something to build on first instead of building on it all at once? Just because Elite: Dangerous did it doesn't mean it's a bad idea to go that route.

Well, a community that grew up on a game that has a corrected version of the Wing Commander gameplay has a bad opinion of a game that's essentially an even worse version of Wing Commander gameplay-wise, you shouldn't be surprised.

I will take my Failed Sarcasm Detection medal without rancor. Nicely done, Azrael. 

[Firesteel]

Started the refund process. Fingers crossed. Jesus ****ing christ the state of this game is horrifying, especially thinking about how it's gone nowhere for 3 years at least.
