So I downloaded it.
Oh. My. God. I can't believe I waited so long!!!!!!!!! This game is AWESOME!
I mean, I thought Goat Simulator was the king when it came to funny gameplay and quirky bugs, but Star Citizen, wow. Well I mean, it was great when I would get playable framerates, right now it's kind of like...not? I also had to unplug my 3D Mouse, Xbox 360 Controller, and Joystick, otherwise the ship would spin in circles.
I tried to fix it but I found that the key mappings were not only unchangeable, but I had to navigate them by a pictographic keyboard layout that I hovered my mouse over.
This game is super innovative, because while most *plebian* games would have "slow down" and "reverse thrust" mapped to the same key, in Star Citizen it does away with all that and has the S key for slow down and then Alt-S key to reverse. It's like they didn't play any other space games, allowing them to innovate more fully!
Anyway, the first time I spawned I ran through the window into open space, then got in someone else's spaceship. I was all set to hijack it but I immediately fell through the floor. So instead I tried again, and this time I just kept running at the locked door to the cockpit, until I clipped through it enough to "Use" the chair.
I got in and immediately started spinning wildly out of control, eventually crashing and dying.
I respawned and woke up in my bed, then I was like, hey, maybe I should actually try putting on a spacesuit this time. So I went to the airlock. Then I thought that was lame, but I went to the external view and found out I had no body!
So I tried to go through the window again. This time I did, but got stuck on some geometry and couldn't move.
So I quit to the menu and started again. This time I actually got in my own ship (an Aurora), and figured out the jump drive. I jumped to some place, and found another ship. So I started shooting them - at least, I think I did: at 1280 x 720 (the only resolution I get some decent FPS on), I couldn't actually see my laser bolts. But they turned to attack me so I think I was doing something. We went at it, and it was some of the most gripping laser blasting I've ever played. We charged, then collided....then I went spinning off into nowhere at an impossible rate, where the entire universe was a blur. I couldn't regain control, so I decided to bail out. I got out of my chair, and turned around, frantically trying to find the exit.
But Star Citizen must have some sort of super-AI in ever ship that knows exactly what I want, because no sooner did I orient myself then I just popped out of my spaceship by clipping through one of the walls. I watched as my Aurora frantically spun itself outwards into oblivion, then the game crashed.
$117 million dollars! 4 years of development! FIDELICIOUS!
