    The game is playable now, although not perfect and not feature complete. The folks whining have not played it, no matter what they claim.

      I mean 10 years and 600m dollars later and still not feature complete, that’s decent reason to “whine” I’d say.

          You gotta lay off the copium, dude… 600M and 12 years without a release anywhere in sight?? That’s just unforgivable. If anyone else did this, they’d be torn apart for it.

            Star Citizen fans and their donators drink a gallon of copium every day just to survive. Sunken cost galaxy, indeed.

              Lol, I spent 45$ on it and have gotten more time and fun from it than most $60 games.

              I’m fine with continuing to wait. Quality takes time

            Oh noes, 45 bucks is such a horrible gamble!!! What shall I do???
            I’ve more than enough hours already in game to make the amount I spent (including all I’ve gifted over the Years) considerably less than If I’d gone to one movie a week for each hour I’ve played.

              Okay? Good for you.

              Still doesn’t change the fact that a 12 year old game should at the very least have a solid release date lmao

            Once you get a job you’ll be able to afford 45 bucks and stop coping yourself. I’m just sick of reading posts from people that saw some whine on youtube lie about the game.

              > The highest budget ever for a video game

                Most ambitious massive multiplayer game ever and all businesses that remain open must continue to take in money. Perhaps a business class or two would help with the concepts involved.

      You must have rock bottom standards to not expect the most expensive game ever made to at the very least be feature complete after 12 years. And we are talking about a very healthy first here, development costs are more than twice as much as second place and growing every day.

        I don’t see a reason why the most expensive game ever should have to be feature complete after 12 years.
        But if this particular most expensive game ever was originally announced to be released in 2014, then postponed last minute a couple of times and subsequently split up into two games to allow an earlier release of parts of it…

          There’s plenty of multiplayer live service games that show how it should be done. Yeah sure, add microtransactions and content updates and whatever else but make sure that bare minimum standards are met with regards to the game itself. When I click “Play” in Apex Legends, I don’t clip through the floor and explode because it’s a feature complete game. Still live service, still getting improved every day, but feature complete. The base game actually working is not optional like in Star Citizen.

      I played it this year, and it is totally shit, the features that are already in games don’t work. Even comparing with other space games like elite dangerous that are way cheaper and already have a decent and less buggy gameplay loop

        35 bucks is way more expensive is it? Proof that you have not played is that is.

          35 bucks what? What is proof? And what is change?

          I played enough to see an empty city that adds literally nothing to anything, with every single NPC standing still on a chair. I played enough to crash two times interacting with shit to just restart ON MY FUCKING ROOM, why there is a server if it is unable to keep your quest state is beyond my intelligence.

          Furthermore, I played enough to see corpses around the abandoned world, adding nothing but noise to my immersion, dumber quests, simpler ship controllers and simpler planetary bases than Elite Dangerous. Also, maybe I didn’t have played enough, but I had no SC player providing me with a decent endgame gameplay loop like ED, I don’t know how a game this old and this expensive can have less endgame than an actual indie game.

          Literally the one thing that it is better in SC than ED is the ability to move inside your ship, that is dope but is not worth the cheapest ship or worse, your time. And I’m writing this comments to other ppl, not you Tigris, you are beyond any rational discussion, you probably have spent too much on this game to admit to yourself it is crap. If you truly believe that the game is good you would just talk about what we are missing and not white knighting and gaslighting anyone that disagrees with you.

          Baldurs Gate 3 is a masterpiece, GOTY for me so far, but every other game this year I would rank below Star Citizen for me personally. Starfield especially just makes me wish I was playing Star Citizen.

              That’s why they aren’t going to finish it. Why finish it when you can keep developing and keep extracting money from gullible fans.

                  Well yeah, it is finished. It has reached state where people can say “yes, this is finished” unlike star citizen. And there’s a fundamental difference between a store and a game that at some point reaches the finished state, again, unlike star citizen.

                  How come baldur’s gate 3 didn’t need 10 years and 600 million fan funding to reach a release?

          Is it a half baked space game but still a fully baked Bethesda RPG?

          Or is that side a bit soft too?

            It seems like nobody’s saying “damn I loved skyrim but hate this”. If you’re into that bethesda rpg “width of an ocean depth of a puddle” stuff it seems pretty alright.

            I’ve been playing a lot of starfield and to me it’s fallout in space with some improvements (although still some classic fallout jank). Like there’s grappling which is great, but when you put stuff on shelves you’ll come back to them being half in the ground. I’ve got no complaints (aside from always wishing I could coop with my partner) because that’s what I was ready for. Honestly the least buggy Bethesda game I’ve played so far. I had one quest that I struggled with because of NPC pathing, but nothing game breaking so far. It’s not No Man’s Sky planet exploration. It’s not a space sim. It’s a dialogue heavy loot n shoot.

        You have to hope the success and money raised so far is enough to fix the problems

        After twelve years and $600 million in development, people should have “hope”? Chris Roberts is taking people’s “hope” straight to the bank.

          Cloud Imperium is not a tiny company. I believe it has about 1000 employees at this point, which means that the 600m has mostly gone to keeping the company going.

          Chis Roberts is burning the cash rather than pocketing it. He loves his feature creep, and which forces devs to redo work. They’ve thrown most of the game out and coded it from almost scratch twice?

          Every single Chris Roberts project has been like this. Development hell with new shit being added and no deadline in sight.

              If you say so. And of course all any have to do is go on youtube or twitch to prove that isn’t an accurate report of the state. But as long as it makes you feel better to say that.
