The latest X game is More Star citizen than Star Citizen is too.

Actually forgot about it! It will be worth a try, I just hope they have ship interiors somewhat modeled, as that's what I'm really missing so far.

Replace "technical debt" with C.Roberts and you've got a (un)making-of of SC.

Hope this is good enough of an example bud...


Edit, they leave the bridge 4 minutes in...

I'm sold.

****, that game is ugly as sin. And the UI is just so... bare.

Did you want real time rendered whisky?

Did you want real time rendered whisky?

No, but effort into something that didn't assault my eyes would have been nice.

[BlueFlames]

Did you want real time rendered whisky?

Only if it's optimized for a silky-smooth 12fps.

It's a german economy simulator. Mechanics always beat visuals

Well I hope it's better than X3's UI

If you don’t play video games, you probably have never heard of Roberts. But in the world of consoles and controllers, he is Keith Richards

That's just rude to Keith Richards.

Impressive, impressive these Vacuum planets and breakdance ships.

It's just realism, who can forget the Shuttles bouncing around the VAB. Everyone has seen those. I bet that if you were to go into your garage right now, your car too will ricochet off the walls.

[Nightmare]

I think it is a different sort of realism: they're simply showing us how the new little ships are made. Most video games just use the euphemism of "docks" (from docking), but it is once again SC that shows us how the reality looks like.

Magnificent. The door closing after is icing on the cake.

And now without snark- what an awful physics model. Those ships don't even look/feel like toys, they're so light. Nevermind a multi-ton high-tech spacefaring war machine.

Seven years and four hundred million dollars, people.

Get a refund.

I wonder when Croberts will write his 5000-word rebuttal to the Forbes article, highlighting their undeniable connection to Derek Smart and proving that they're nothing but his mouthpiece.

[TwentyPercentCooler]

That Forbes article sure did a good job of kicking the hornet's nest of ****izens. They're in full Defcon 1 panic.

[MP-Ryan]

It appalls me that anyone can read a history like that outlined on the Forbes article and think SC is anything but a perpetual-money-raising machine at this point.  Maybe one day a mediocre game will be released, but in the meantime the only thing making that *possibly* happen is the continued exploitation of people too easily parted from their money.  It's appalling.  At this point, Roberts could release the greatest game of all time and I'd flatly refuse to buy it on principle.
