You get what you fucking deserve.

Jokes on you, I'll be enjoying the greatest space sim in the history of the industry in just a short 20 years.

>2014 user
This thing has been going since 2012 right?

From the way things look, Roberts is going to run out of money and the end result will be a total jumbled mess of 500 half assed features

So the games community is imploding it was bound to happen eventually.

It's impossible to develop the kind of game CIG is trying to develop under the traditional investor/publisher model. The technology has to be invented, and this cost sink on its own is an unacceptable risk to these kinds of people. "Too much time, not enough profit and not soon enough!" they say. They don't invest in order to make good games, they invest in order to take money back out of it all for the next round of investment. If you really want to hold yourself to this kind of scheduling, go play COD 20.
I didn't back the game because I knew I would have a space shooter to play in 5 years. I backed the game because I knew this was the only possible way we would get the kind of mechanics I want to see. That seamless and full simulation of environment inside and outside your space ship, in which you are a person existing in a fully simulated universe, as opposed to being a camera that clicks on a bunch of menus. Seriously, that's what most of the "game loops" you compare this game to boil down to, flying between A-Z, never leaving your chair, and clicking on menu item after menu item. That experience is dead ass boring, I'm sorry. I don't want it. But when I get an itch for it, there are plenty of risers to that challenge.
What I want is what CIG is making. I don't care about how long it takes, in fact, I hope they take as long as they need to to make this, because if they don't, nobody else will. There are too many impatient vampire investors and self-important CTOs out there who think entirely according to schedules and business cycles. This is one of the few opportunities we have to invest in a development where it is truly the game that comes first.
Get mad about trailers being delayed. Get mad about estimates not being deadlines. Maybe go play all those other games that are more than happy to stay inside the realm of the already possible? What is it you really want, here? Scream against the wind! The funding model exists to be free of demands like yours.

No Man's Sky is already out though...

What does Star Citizen has that others space sim do not have ?

Cool looking ships.

LoL can’t believe people still fall for this scam

>nooo he's going to run out of money
>2019 was the most profitable year for CIG
>2020 is already destroying 2019's first two quarters
yes, we know user, the game is all a lie and it's going to die and yadda yadda

>spend $50,000
>say thing
>get banned
>money stolen

confused subverse and star citizen for a second

Other space sims exist.

there's not a single online space sim outside of star citizen user

im sorry you had to type all that but the game is just a massive feature creep that retards will sink money into just because its "innovative", "never been done before", and "on a completely different scale". the reason its impossible to develop that game is that roberts is an egomaniac who unironically thinks that he deserves to be funded endlessly by cult members who unironically believe that star citizen will be (if its ever released in the state you people actually want it to be) the greatest space sim of all time. that ship has long sailed way after those thousand-dollar ships were released. its now just a haven for whales who cant stop spending on exclusive things and those who still unironically believe that star citizen will amount to what cig has promised in features in all these years.

it's a simp post from plebbit

>so here's how I feel about this project and you should take it as a fact
not him, but you're a brainlet

when that bethesda (lol) space game drops, that's when SC cultists start the mass suicides

I don't believe his data, I don't think people see that much value in a game that has been in development for what 10 years? Who's still making donations for this barely functional alpha? Even the cultists are rebelling right now. Most crowdfunded games get less and less funding every year, or months. He's just lying through his teeth because if he told you the real story, the panic would happen. But yeah whatever, surely people are buying 50,000USD ships in 2020 while getting those broken modules that showcase that ships still have no weight

2 billions of dollars for an online mode ?

Chris Roberts has some cache among older fans due to the Wing Commander series, which was great by the way. Unfortunately, he's literally cash cowing that good will and has been, arguably, since the start of Star Citizen. There may have been a point where CR and the execs believed in the project, but recent behavior suggests that is no longer the case.

>seamless and full simulation of environment inside and outside your space ship
>seamless
lol

>implying Bethesda will ever publish anything other than FO or Skyrim ever again

Starfield is a thing, what the fuck are you talking about?

Kill yourself shill.

16 times the detail

>autopilot kills the sensation of flying or flying taking skill
but at least theres still orbital mechanics right

Is Starfield even an actual space sim?

?
you missed my point, so I'll just ask you clearly;
point to me an online space sim game that's out right now

>I don't believe this data
well okay, we're done here I guess
but then why do you care? if nobody's sending them money, then why do you care about it?
I don't see you making posts about those indians and congoleses scamming grandmas on facebook?

k-k-k-kill yourself!!

its not how i feel at all, its just a fact of life. thats what this space sim is at this point in time. a glorified tech demo that wont ever be completed because roberts makes too much money from it. if you also think that the "game" as it is now worth of the funding it got im sorry for you. there wont ever be an incentive to release the game in its full completion with all the features they are working on because of the money that keeps piling in.

No, but I was more answering the "anything other than fallout or Skyrim" bit

>point and click
I guess technically it's a space game, but when people say 'sim', they mean they expect you to be in control of your fucking ship/plane/car/truck, user

ED
Nah it's not sim. If it was sim the game would be more popular

I still can't believe NMS went through it's whole hype, disaster then rebuilding and redemption arc before Scam Citizen even has a real release date. And yes, as it is today with the many free updates, NMS will likely be the superior product when SC finally releases.

>it's not how I feel
>but here's more about how I feel about it

ED is not an online game and if you had played it you wouldn't have said that name

>if it was a sim it would be more popular
But space sims are niche, FreeSpace 2 was an amazing space sim and it sold like garbage.

>space sims are niche
well obviously they're not that niche, I wouldn't call $ 500m 'niche'

>ED is not an online game
ED that's wrong. It just have solo mode

I find the trainwreck aspect amusing.
I don't care about indian scamming schemes because I don't live in streetshitter land

>Starfield is a thing
It's a couple of wallpapers, user. Just like TES VI.

Which space games are selling so well? Star Citizen is an outlier, the average space game like X3, E:D and whatever else is barely popular. The genre is in a semi dead state for a reason, and the reason is that it has a hard time selling big numbers

That's because Freelancer was Skyrim of past generation. If not Chris no one would even back it. Look at other space games. Especially sims. They're not popular

this is now a freespace thread

Star Citizen is about a guy maintaining a cult behind a non existent game. Not the same situation.
